where that dowery orator, Senator X.
K. Butler, of The Dalles, will deliver
the Independence Day address. As the
late lBob Taylor used to say, Senator
Butler was reared in the hills of east
Tennessee, where in early manhood he
received his inspirations fIom the glo.
rles OF the country that surrounded
him. Standing on some mountain top.
where by breaking twig OF the rhodo-
dendron that grows so beautifully
there he could almost tickle the angels
feet, he used to speak to the great bald
eagles soaring high up in the blue vault
OF heaven. 1t was thus that Senator
Butler, coming from land of orators,
learned the art of making plant the
English language, so stiff for the most
of US.
To facilitate the work of the parade
committee Frank Z. Haener urges that
all who wish to enter their automobiles
see him at once, 1t is the desire of the

the most unique and the largest ever
given here. The 0dell and Upper Val
