CELEBRATION WAS
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Program Carried Through Without
a Hitoh-Races Please and Dance
Pavilion Crowded

The second annual Fourth OF
July celebration pulled off by the
Eagles of Mountain Home brought
many people to toEn, and if they
were not satisfied with the program
They were hard to please.
The afternoon of July 3 was given
over to races on Front street, in
which the young boys and girls and
some not so young were the partici-
pants. There were some close finish
es, but the prize money was paid
over to the successful ones without
argument.
The program of July 4 began WIN
a parade of decorated cars and floats.
Some beautiful creations were en-
tered, showing that a great deal OF
hard work had been put in by those
who decorated the cars. The first
prize for float was divided by Mont
gomery- -Blunk and the stately coach
q of the knights of Honor. The form
er float depicted the wool industry
.. from start to finish and was a Won
derful display. The X. H. boys,
however, had novel entry. 1t
represented a queen in her coach,
with her pages around her, the float
being drawn by four beautiful bay
horses.
= The prize for the prettiest car
again went to the Q. P. c. girls, who
had turned John Goodall's car into
a bower of beauty. The girls made
about 1900 American Beauty roses
for their car.
q After the parade patriotic pro-
.gram was carried out in Railroad
Park. Lieutenant-Governor Bald
ridge delivered the address of the
Nday. and it was a mastery effort.
The singing was by chorus OF
thirty voices and was very impress
sive.
