THE LAST DAY OF HARD WORK
Now the Veterans Will Enjoy Themselves
With Excursions and
Barbecue.

Spokane, WASH, June IA.
Yesterday was the browning day of
the Grand Army encampment. The day
closed with a parade which every vet
eran present pronounced the grand
est that ever took place at any en-
campment in the history Of the de-
partment. There were 400 veterans in
line.
The encampment is also pronounced
the most successful and most harmo-
NOUS ever held since the department
was organized.
And the encampment is not over yet
by any means. The veterans and the
ladies Of the Relief Corps and the Sons
and Daughters Of eVterans have devot-
ed two days to work, and now they will
devote tw o days to play.
Today will be spent in an excursion
to Occur d. Alene lake, where prepare
tons have been perfected for a good
time, and the encampment will close
with a grand celebration and barbecue
at Twickenham Park tomorrow, which
will eclipse anything of the kind hith-
erto attempted in the state. The veter-
ans will have possession of the park
all day and evening. The gates will be
wide open and everything will be free
to all who wish to participate in the
happy occasion.
