July 4th, 1892.

The llGth anniversary of the indie
pendence OF this great and glorious ma
tion was celebrated amidst great pomp
in Meeker on Monday last, and that IL
eclipsed all previous efforts will be
vouched for by all who attended.
On the day previous the people from
the outside districts began TO arrive,
and the hotels were well filled. Routt
county had good sprinkling of her
prominent citizens present, while few
of Garllell's inhabitants Were also con-
splcuous In making the natal day one
long TO be remembered.
In the early morning the thunder OF
the anyils and firearms awakened the
denizens from their siumber, and Il
nearly continuous fus!lade was kept up
all day. About 10 O'Clock the cali
thumpIans gave novel exhibition, dur
ing which the main streets OF the town
were visited. About the same time Il
dozen or more li,t!c lois, undor lho titic
OF cadets, also pIraded the streets, and
prizes We're given to the three hes,
drilled.
At the pavilion in the town park n
series OF exercises wns gone through
with before the dinner hour, viz: The
reading of the Declaration OF indepen'
dence, addresses by several of our clti-
zcns, singing 10y the slee club, etc.
After dinner the dancing platform
was well patron!zed until the hour Of 4
had arriyed-,hc time set FOR the races.
Every. available rig OF saddle horse was
brought into rcqulsition, and for nearly
two hours the town appeared 10 be de-
serted. -Four raecs took place, aud be-
sides the purses there WAS, rs usual, a
good deal OF betting on the side. Fol-
lowing is summary OF the races:
I-Pony race. go yards, three entries;
won By Morean's horse, fairlielis sec

ONE HALF CITY COUNCIL MEETs
And the Other Ralf Fails to Get q Quo

and the Other Ealf Fails to Get QUO
rum.
There was to have been meeting OF
CITY Council last night, but only one
branch coyened, the first branch ialllng
to reach quorum by one member. Inc
second branch barely eked out quo
rum, the last member coming In late'
but Just in time 10 save white~ash.
The second branch proceeded TO DIS
pose Of the business on the table. In
the absence of President Jepson Coun-
Gilman Hadlick presided. After the
roll-call and the reading of the minutes
of the last meeting came the second
reading Of the ordinance wherein La
Belle Iron Works is given permission TO
construct and use tram railway on
Mccullough street and across Alley u
Councilman Bailey was OF the opinion
rt6atkhe whole committee, to whom IL
washeferred, had never fully inVestl-
gated the matter, and for that reason
he was not going to vote for it. Coun-
Gilman Robinson made concise state
ment Of the case, which was accepted
by Councilman Bailey, but the latter
did not think the other members had
given it careful attention.
The ordinance was referred on motion
of Councilman Bailey, to the Committee
on Railroads together with City Solicitor
Riley.
In the report from the Committee on
Election came a resolution to the effect
that the Assessors be instructed to
enumerate the qualified voters to be
finished by the 18th of December.
Councilman Bailey thought 1t better
to try some other course in the enumer-
alton, that man ought to be provided
for each ward il they expected to get
the enumeration complete by the time
specified.
Councilman Irwin asked Of Acting
President Hadlick If it was definitely
decided that the Australian system must
prevail in the city election, TO which he
received a reply in the affirmative.
Councilman Irwin thought 1t was going
to be very expensive election by that
system, as the one recently held demon
strated. From what have heard from
various sources, / understand we are
not obliged to operate the Australian
system. l don't think we have the
money to spare to carry it on.
AFTER some nUGIe uIScusSIUu, uUWeVer,
the resolution prevailed.
A petition was presented asking that
some steps be taken to remove the sta.
Bile Of Henry Eichman on Eleventh
street, as it was becoming serious
nuisance to the residents. The petition
was signed by Mrs. Ripley, Kate
Weisher ct ais. 1t was referred to the
Committee on Streets, Alleys and
| Grades.
