1t Will Be Amply Evidenced in the
Great Pageant OF Next
Week.
KalispeI Will Be Grandly Repre-
sented-Everett Boomers Wide
Awake.

This will be busy week for the com
mittees in charge Of the Hill celebra-
ton. They have but one week in which
to perfect arrangements aud prepare
one of the greatest programmes ever
carried out in this city. The historical
and industrial parade, for which such
elaborate preparations are being made,
will take place week from tomorrow.
All floats should be finished this week,
and all who are behind with the work
should not lose another day.
The committee on parade desires to
report to the grand marshal neXbThurS-
day the exact number of floats which
will be in line, and those who have not
yet reported to ~Secretary ]. IL. Beck
are requested to do so at once.
1t is estimated that there will be from
80 to 100 floats prepared by st. Paul con-
Germs, and great many companies and
firms have already sent in descriptions
of their floats. The builders have spared
no expense in their construction,
and there are many surprises
in store for the thousands
who will view the opening days pa
geant. The owners are averse to giving
any description of their floats at this
time. preferring that they should first
be seen. With the number OF
Floats From Outside Towns,
and those representing the states. there
will be close on to $50 floats in line.
Gen. Bend, who will have charge of the
parade, has been over the line of march
several times, and has selected the
streets on which the different divisions
will be formed. -
Full directions with reference to the
formation of the line will be sent out
shortly. A great many parties are COM
planning of the high prices being asked
for horses. There has been quite de-
mand for good teams, and as conse-
quenee unusually high prices have been
asked. People are asking from SIS to
S25 team, and if they hold to these
prices many parties will be obliged to
60 outside of the city for horses. Each
float is to have mounted guard Of
honor, and this Will require hundreds
OF horses.

to St. Paul by the citizens of Everett to
represent the interests of that place in

capitol by storm yesterday in their en-

show in the parade. They protest that
nothing will be exhibited save articles
that are actually produced within the
corporate limits of Everett. They will
have steel barge thirty feet long. for

what is done in the ship yards, and they
unequivocally claim for Everett the
