Correspondence of the LEDGER.
CoTToNwooD SPRINGS, June H.
Thank for the splendid rain. Crops
look fine and the people are en-
couraged.
We need an anti fat factory. Our
GROWER Institution is Il grand sue
cess.
The manager of the Springs is
considering the practicability OF
putting down granitoid walks and
connecting with Mexico's telephone
system. The present walks leading
to the botanical, geological and
growler departments have been in
use since the Springs were first
opened to the American people.
We will be in the midst of Mex
ico's Fourth of July celebration.
Saturday evening was a history
making period at Cottonwood. The
Springs were thronged with people.
The printers and cigar-makers held
their banquet here after the base
ball game, in which the printers
carried off the palm. Col. Reuben
Dill's address was forcible and i'm
pressive. All the employees ut the
"growler factory stood around un.
der the large trees and vociferously
encored and were assisted in shaking
the earth 10y the lawyers of Mexico
who were invited to decorate the
occasion. They left their animosity
in town and all was as harmonious
as the recent K. G.. convention.
Col. Dill was introduced by the
Manager Of the Geological Depart.
ment of the Springs. All were still
except the birds. After the usual
stereoptyped Introductory remarks
about it ''affording him unspeak-
able pleasure to address such a bril-
liant audience" he got down to
business and said: "And this is
Cottonwood Springs primeval. Ifeel
highly honored to stand here amid
the murmuring pines and beautiful
hemlocks, bearded with natures
moss, and view the wonderful and
delightful Springs" He was carried
away with the appearance Of the IA
NOUS resort and at intervals became
Historically enthusiastic and would
have persisted if not for the inees-
SAINT rush of the growler. At the
close he was laid on a stretcher and
taken to the Springs Hospital. Some
called him a colossal wart, but the
majority of those present said he
had the ability to associate with the
filibustering United States Senators.
News is scarce and intellect the
same, the latter scarcer than the
former.
