OLD FASHIONED CELEBRATION,
CONTINUED from page u

sion viii always be associated with II,
memories that will live forever"
Lieutenant Pearson was several times
interrupted by applause, and upon the
close of his remarks he received an
grafton.
Chairman Rognon then announced
that Hon. Fisher Harris, who was on
the programme for an Grafton, was too
i'll to appear, and the interesting pro-
gramme closed with America" played
by the Knights of Pythias band and
sung by the entire audience standing.
All present caught the inspiration in
the singing. and the grand old anthem
rang out with proper force and spirit.
At the close of the programme rush
was made for the platform to greet
Lieutenant Pearson. Men, women and
children of all ages and conditions
crowded about him to shake his hand
and exchange greetings, and it was a
long time before he could be rescued by
his associates and carried off to dinner.
Thus closed an old-fashioned celebra-
ton that was a success in every partc-
ular, that reflects great credit upon
those who worked it up, one that VIII

took part in it.
Too high praise cannot be given to
Mr.. Rognon and the committee that
worked with him Loyalty to make the
celebration a success. 1t requires puD-
lie spirit of a high order to lead men
in these days to neglect business for an
enterprise of this kind.
Pyrotechnic Display.
The display of fireworks on Ensign
peak last evening was unique, and al
though the darkness was not great
enough to bring out the best effects, 1t
was demonstrated what wonderful pos
sibilities there are in the idea. The Ell
feet of living volcano belching forth
fire and smoke was most vivid, and
called thousands of people to the
streets and housetops. Those so fortu-
nate as to have a position on a nigh
roof beheld a sight not soon to be Tor
gotten. At first appeared an angry red
glare that cast weird reflections up and
down the mountain sides. Then heavy
columns of smoke rolled up, followed by
the spouting flames and rockets. II
required no great stretch of the imagi-
nation to see the streams OF molten
lava flowing down the hillside and near
the Shrek of the doomed people heelng
as in the days of Pompeii. 1t was an
inspiring sight while it TASTED, and
should be tried again on a more elab-
crate scale in future Far of to the
southwest. on the Oquirrh hills. could
be diInly seen fires of a similar charac-
ter, while from every section of the city
the rockets shot up and exploded into
their myriad colored fragments. 1t
was a sight to stir the blood of the
most Indifferent.

Fully 5000 people visited Calder's

sPRINGVILLE's WEALTH.
Valuation Nearly S1,OOO,OOo and
Largest City In the West.

Especial correspondence
Springville, July 1.-THE city council met
last evening and determined the rate of
assessment this year for the CITY taxes
70 De levied. An inspection of the rolls
OF the assessor showed a valuation of
taxable property in Springville but a few
thousands short of an even million dol
lars- This great increase is principally
que to the fact that the council is this
year assessing taxes on all the property
WITHIN the corporate limits of Spring.
VILE The city limits as defined by a
recent decision of the supreme court are
very extensive and embrace 125 square
miles. This makes Springville the largest
city in area in the west
An assessment of mills on the dollar
was levied for the city's contingent fund
For reservoirs. purchase of water rights
etc, levy of 3l2 mills was determined
upon.
The last named item will meet with
considerable opposition. as the impression
has gone out that ii is a special tax. and
ought not to be levied without special
vote OF the citizens. On the contrary IL
Is perfectly regular and is duly provided
for by the laws of the state The citv
mas always had the right to levy tax
Tor this purpose. but in the past has had
no occasion to do so.
Reports of the city treasurer and au-
ditor showed the city to be in better
financial condition than for several years
The sexton mortuary report showed
thirty-seven burials in the last half year
twenty-three being those of Springville

CROWDS AT RESORTS
Twenty Thousand People Celebrated
Out of Town.
MANY WENT TO THE LAKE
EIGHT THOUSAND AT THE SALT
AIR PAVILION.
Three Thousand Went In Bathing
Every Train From the City Was
Loaded Down = Thirty-five Hun
dred Enjoyed the Day at Garfield
Attendance at Other Resorts.

In the neighborhood of 5000 people
celebrated the Fourth at Saltair yes
terday. 1t was by far the biggest day
of this season, and the attendance was
probably greater than any day of last
season. Every department of this pop
ular resort was taxed to it's utmost,
and a great number of extra employees
were required to look after the wants
of the people. The regular time card
was discarded, and trains were run out
every hour during the afternoon, and
the crush was so great that ii was nee
essary TO press into service a number
of Rio Grande Western cars. During
the entire afternoon the grounds
around the Rio Grande Western sta
ton were filled with a crushing, seeth-
ing mass of good-natured humanity.
From fifteen TO twenty cars were on
every train. and they were filled to the
steps every trip.
Out at the beach the crowd was so
great that every foot of space seemed
to be covered. and the management is
to be congratulated on the successful
manner in which the people were
handled. A noticeable thing about the
crowd was the lack of boisterous and
disorderly conduct, and the general
feeling of good fellowship which
abOunded. All of the afternoon and
evening people were lined up three deep
at the bar and sodawater counter, and
the restaurant was taxed to its full ca
pccity.
The bathing was excellent, and about
5000 people went in. Every bath house
was filled early in the afternoon, and it
became necessary to close the ticket Of
flee and hang out a sign informing the
people that mo more bath tickets
would be sold for half an hour This
sign was hung out several times, and
the bath houses were kept filled until
after dark.
The dancing floor presented an ami
mated appearance. and the two bands
in attendance kept the ball moving I'M
til the last train came in.
Everything passed off pleasantly, and
no accidents occurred to mar the pleas
ure of the day.

DELIGHTFUL DAY AT GARFIELD
Thirty-five Hundred People Cele-
brated In Quiet Way.

Fully $500 pleasure seekers visited
Garfield yesterday, and enjoyed a de-
lightfully quiet day on the beach. The
conditions were ideal for spending a
peaceful holiday away from the more
fatiguing celebrations. The people who
went out were not the attraction seek
ers, but rather quiet-loving citizens
who wanted to be away from the big
demonstrations to enjoy their holiday
1t was hot in the city, so hot that
when the o'clock train pulled out of
the depot it carried a very large crowd
of people in search of a lake breeze. 1t
was warm enough at the resort, during
the early hours of the day, but so de-
lightful in the water that about half
the number of those who bought rail-
road tickets, by actual count, went i'm
mediately in search of a bathing suit.
Whole families spent the afternoon,
or the greater part of it, in the water.
Little tots too timid to venture a step
away from their parents, and old men
whose Gays are spent at desk en-
joyed the bathing together, and to the
utmost.
At the pavilion Hauerbach's orches-
ira furnished music for the younger
set, who. regardless of heat, danced
away the earlier hours and then again
in the evening.
The largest crowds went out on the
early afternoon trains. yet notwith-
standing the great numbers, the man.
agement cared for the comfort of all
without any difficulty. There was no
special programme, and no attractions
had been advertised for the occasion.
1t was very much of Saturday at
tendance on a large scale. Many we'll
known society people' simply went out
for the day, and in quiet way en-
joyed the lake and celebrated the holt
day without any fireworks
The number of children was quite re-
markable. 1t was a perfect day for
the little folks, who seemed to enjoy
their celebration quite as much as
though firecrackers, torpedoes and ac-
cidents had been thrown in.
Manager Barrett and his corps of as
sistants deserve great credit for the
way in which the large crowd was
handled as do also the railway officials,
who went out in person to see that
everything was done for the comfort of
the people.

MEDICINAL SPRINGS.
Those In California Equal to the Best
In Europe.

How many of those VINO go to the
European springs for their health re-
alize that in the one state of California
there are more and greater variety
of medicinal springs than in all the
European countries combined. 1t is a
fact, however. There is no disorder for
which medicinal waters can afford re-
lief but that finds its natural remedy
in California. Every imaginable kind
of mineral springs there exists, some
hot and others cold. There are splen-
did swimming lakes of naturally hot
medicinal waters of many kinds. AS
rule. the yield Of water from these Cal
ifornia springs is remarkably free, so
that no one is stinted. Scores of the
more noted are provided with comfort
able buildings and every other adjunct
for the comfort and cure of invalids,
many of them being fashionable resorts
for people who really do not need the
use of the healing waters. The charges
are moderate and the patronage large.
A very important element of the pop
ularity and efficiency of California is
the delicious and healing climate. No
climate so bland. so generous, so in
MIGRATING. can be found in any coun-
try of Europe. 1t is worth something
to the mind and the body to be sur
rounded bv fruits and flowers every
day in the year. and to be absolutely
sure of freedom from malarial poison
ing. The climate possibly doubles the
healing value of springs, which in
themselves are the finest and most ben
eficial in the world.
