WATERTOWN'S CELEBRATION.
The Fourth Observed in Grand Style
Most Successful Undertaking.
Thousands of Visitors.

With perhaps the single exception
Of the centennial celebration in 1876.
Watertown last Saturday witnessed
dependence day in her history. While
Saturdays affair partook of several
essential features of a common, every
day Fourth of July celebration, it vas
in the main decidedly interesting and
attractive, and there is no doubt that
all who joined in the festivities, from
near and far, were thoroughly pleased
with the entertainment afforded them
The only drawback to an otherwise
highly enjoyable day was the intense
heat, the mercury remaining between
the 80 and 100-degree marks ali day,
1t is a great wonder there were not
numerous cases of sunstroke to both
man and beast, but none were record
ed. In fact' the day passed away with
no serious accident of any sort occur
ring, which was indeed lucky, consid-
ering the extent Of the celebration and
the great number participating in it.
At an early morning hour the city
begen to fill with visitors, and it was
soon evident that even the uncOmfort-
able condition OF the atmosphere was
not to act adversely, The trains on
both railways brought hosts of sight
seers, while many others arrived by
teams and bicycles. BY $50 o'clock
Main street and the tributary thor
Oughfares were lined on either side
with surging mass of humanity, and
it is estimated that fully 10 900 people
viewed the procession in the downtown
district
Shortly before 10 o'clock the order
TO march was given by the marshal of
the day, Lieut.. Col. A. Solliday, and
slowly the different divisions and Sec
tions, which had been resting in the
positions assigned them, fell into
line. The procession was very long
one snd rather unwieldy by virtue of
the many large and cumbersome floats,
and Col. Solliday and his aides are
entitled to high credit for their very
successful handling of the same In
one respect, we think. the parade was
not equal to that of last year, and that
was in the number of handsome floats,
several very pretty ones
were exhibited. The same this year
were more in the nature of advertis-
ing features than beautiful and artist
ic conceptions.
The order of the parade was as
follows.

After following the advertised line
of march the parade disbanded at the
city park, where the program of
exercises was carried out. The Sim
nissippi baud played several national
airs and the chaplain, Rev. H. S.
Foster, invoked divine blessing,
after which Mrs. G. r. Field read the
Declaration of Independence. Judge
George Grimm, of Jefferson, was then
introduced by Mayor Rack as the
orator of the day. Judge Grimm
did not follow the custom of the con-
ventional Fourth of July orator in
preparing a tiresome and set speech,
but talked extemporaneously in a
very pleasing manner His effort
was a splendid one and expressed a
multitude of worthy thoughts relative
to the lessons of Independence day.
In the afternoon, beginning at 2
o'clock, the races and other sports
took place. First came the bicycle
races, the starts and finishes being at
the corner of Main and North Second
streets. Large crowds were on hand

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OLYMPIA.
By A. A. Phillips, President.
And will. say this, that in all my
connection with the Bank / was never
consulted about the loans made, and
when / SAW the inevitable in the Com
pany's business went to the managers
of the Bank and gave the Sc
curity they asked and took up
every paper l was on, although
they retained some of the notes to try
to get from other endorsers to relieve
me. So he will have to look further
TO find the cause of the failure of the
Bank than my connection with it, /
will say further that when Gen. Ste
vens took the bonds he got as a bonus
625 shares OF the capital stock
and had Mr.. Newell as his repre-
sentative on the Board of Directors
and was aware of every move made.
So all these things that he is bowling
80 about, he was in position to know
of, and if he did not it was no fault of
mine. The last proposition that he
had turned the property over to the
new Company free from debt, when
he is taking the majority OF the stock
to pay the debts he has incurred and
the people who put up the money are
to get the minority of stock, reminds
me of the lion and lamb lying down
together, but the lamb was inside the
lion.
The gentlemen has performed two
grand rescues and wiped out all the
stockholders, and | think the next
grand rescue will wipe out the bond
holders and then he will be like the
little boy with the elephant.
The statement that Messrs. Free
man and Goode have made q report
that some 5000 horse power can be
developed by the proposed improve
ment is not true; as their reports
proposed the improvement Of the
whole fall, the power house to be be-
low the lower fall. So you will see
that he is trying to carry his scheme
by Misrepresentation.
write this to correct statements
made by Gen. Stevens who has so
grossly misrepresented the facts. The
employees of the Company are
principally the men We had employed
and Gen. Stevens must have thought
they were reliable or he would not
retained them.
The part you have taken in hehalf
OF Gen. Stevens and his fight against
me has been so unjust that you will
reap your own reward for it.
Very respectfully,
A. II. CHAMBERS.

turned on. The efforts of the firemen
were, therefore, mainly directed to-
wards the protection of an adjacent
building, corner OF Washington and
Fifteenth, III which they were sue
cc,>iul. The origin OF the fire is I'M
determined. 1t may have been acct
dcntallv set by hobos or the work of Il
fire-bug. 1t is said by the neighbors
that loud explosion preceded the
fire, which gives rise to the impression
that it was the work of design. The
building was probably worth 81 600 or
$1,000.
The meeting called by the Chair
man OF the Board OF Trade, Friday
evening, was numerOu>ly attended.
+. VI. Reed, Sr. presided and \. l..
Calluw acted as Secretary. Alter con
siderable discussion, it seemed to be
the consensus OF opinion that each
taxpayer who was unable t" pay the
unjust and cXtortionate levy Of 1876
and previous years, or who deemed it
a duty to oppose such an outrage,
should make Il tender of an amount to
the County Treasurer, deemed reason
able and III accord with Il proper
valuation of those years with six per
cent. added, as Il means of securing
redress when the matter comes before
the courts for final adjustment. A
committee, consisting OF Mcssrs.
Haight, Israel and Weir, was appoint
ed to prepare Il plan of action for de-
Tense of taxpayers interests i'll the
courts, to report at meeting to be
called by the chairman. Mr.. Haight
referred to opinions of the Supreme
Court which justified hope that re-
lief could be afforded for excessive
valuations of property in preparing
the assessment rolls.
