STREET PARADE

Seen In the Southwest.
LINE OF MARCH ADOPTED
The Parade Committee Met Yesterday
And Arranged Every Detail, De-
signaling the Position In the Pro
cessiOn To Be Occupied By Each
Organization.


Organization.
The Mammoth street parade next
Friday promises to be one of the most
attractive displays of the kind ever
witnessed in the southwest. Music
will be furnished by four first class
brass bands.
The parade com initoee of the corner
stone celebration met yesterday after
noon and made final preparations for
the big procession.
Additional marshals were appointed
and the position of the various organi-
cations, foats.i etc, in the procession
was decided upon.
The chairman of the subcommittee
reported that 80 merchants and others
had agreed to supply trade display
floats, some of them to furnish two
floats each.
George Ogden, who had been delegat-
ed to invite the secret societies and
other organizations, reported that the
knights Templar, Knights of Pythias,
Hibernians and Brick Mason's Union
had signihed their intention to parti-
cipate.
It was agreed to furnish two floats for
the use of Prof. Putnam's portion of
display. He said that he wanted them
to be occupied by 100 little girls who
would add materially to the procession
but who could not walk. He said the
High School cadets would participate
and go afOOt.
MARSHALS SELECTED.
Captain Charles Davis, grand mar
shall announced that more aides would
be needed on his staff. He said that
he wanted Prof. Putnam as one of
them.
Judge Sexton objected to the ap-
pointment of any more Masons as mar
shals saying that all of them
would be needed to swell the ranks of
that organization during the parade in
which it takes so conspicuous part.
w. S. McCutcheon thought that
Prof. Putnam would be most needed to
look after the school children in the
procession and see that none of them
were hurt. Prof. Putnam said that
was his idea exactly and he had no in
tention of neglecting his duty to the
children and would be in charge of
their portion in the parade and guaran-
tee the safety and comfort of all pres
emit.
