NEWSY LETTER FROM ANTELOPE page four To The Editor: -- E.M. Wingate spent Sunday on Trout creek, we presume fishing. Miss May Miller, who has been visiting her uncle Thomas Harper, at Antelope, Returned to her home in The Dalles Monday. Nate Baird and Lem Axe had their camping outfit, blankets, saddles, bridles and A pair of shoes, burned by their camp fire while fishing last Saturday on John Day [river]. Reverend Hinton, Baptist minister from Grass Valley [Oregon], preached an able Sermon to a well-filled house Monday night. Mr. Hinton talks of establishing a Baptist mission at Antelope. Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers, who have been on the sick list for some time, are Slowly recovering. At a meeting of the school directors Monday night it was decided to open the Antelope public school August 12th for a ten-month term, with Professor G.H. Dunn as principal and Miss Lillie Hinton as assistant. Considerable interest is felt in regard to the outcome of the debate between Reverend Moore of Mitchell [Oregon] and Katie Kem Smith, of the First Secular Church of Portland on the inspiration of the Bible. Mrs. Smith is an eloquent Speaker. Great preparations were made for celebrating the Fourth and a large crowd was In town. A large platform had been made and beautifully decorated, an orchestra And choir secured, and just as the forty-two girls in white the goddess of Liberty were marching to their positions, a shower came up. The cry was soon Raised “To the schoolhouse!” and about 1200 soon found shelter, the largest Crowd ever in any one building in Antelope. The exercises were then continued Without interruption. It takes something worse a Kansas cyclone to interfere With a celebration at Antelope. Some fun-loving youngster decorated the Ice cream stand that had been erected for the benefit of the minister, with Signs from the merchants’ stores, as “Fresh butter”, “German Insurance”, “Selling at Cost”, etc. Owing to the damp, cool day, the stand and merry-go- round were not very extensive patronized. The dance at night was a grand success, and the supper under the management of Mrs. Patterson, was just elegant. There was a public basket picnic dinner, but a great many of the people preferred to take dinner at home or with friends. Mrs. C.V. Lane deserves great credit for the tasteful manner in which she arranged the forty-two little girls representing the states. Mrs. Hattie Stocker read the Declaration of Independence in a very pleasing manner. Mr. Richard Hinton and wife of Bakeoven [sic]celebrated the Fourth at Antelope. Miss Lillie Hinton went to The Dalles to celebrate. Thomas Harper christened his new residence by eating his Fourth of July Dinner in it.

Mr. Eddie Glisan delivered the Fourth of July oration in a very able and Patriotic manner. A public wedding was held as part of the exercises, in which Billy Wilson of Antelope and Miss Laura Bills of John Day [Oregon] were united in the holy Bonds of matrimony. Their many friends wish them much happiness and Success through life. MOSIER BREEZES What Our Correspondent Has To Say About Happenings In Mosier Neighborhood.
