The water proposition has been
amicably settled, and everybody
seems to be satisfied The action
of the Florence Construction com
pany in withdrawing their bid was
commendable, and the firm to
whom the contract was awarded is
one that is entirely responsible
and thoroughly competent through
experience to carry the work to n
successful end. The city board is
to be congratulated upon the very
successful manner in which they
have conducted the matter, aud
everything points toward happy
issue out of the trouble that has
heretofore beset the promoters of
the present water proposition,
Other Denver contractors speak
only in the highest praise OF the
Geddes & Seerie Stone company,
and say that it was impossible for
the board to have done better than
to let the contract to that firm.
Let everyone hope that the very
best has been done that could be
done, and that no hitch in the
early completion of the works may
present itself.

Governor A. w. McIntire
has returned fIom an extended
trip through California. He feels
more profoundly impressed than
ever before with the advantages
of Colorado. He says: 'To one
accustomed to see the generous use
of water in this state, the scarcity
of the element en- the Pacific
coast is revelation. Water is as
precious for irrigation as it is for
household use in Denver. and even
more SO. In this state an inch of
water, as it is understood by irri-
gationists, costs $40. In Southern
California an inch of water for ir-
rigation purposes costs $1,000. and
it is often not to be had at any

after this the bands made their ap-
pearance and then all chances for
sleep were gone. Soon the streets
were lined with people and by the
time the sun arose the avenues were
crowded. To the inspiring strains of
the band, the stars and stripes were
unfurled to the breezes on Third av-
enue. The bombardment continued
indefinitely and to some tired ears it
seems as if it was still going on to an
accompaniment of Marching through
Georgia. "Yankee Doodle" etc. The
decorations about town were beautiful
and the red white and blue predomin-
ated.
AT promptly nine o'clock the parade
started from First Avenue with the
City band in the lead and marshalled
by Mayor McMahan and aides, Dan
Garrison and VIM. LaBeau. Follow
ing the band was the Ely Fire dep
artment drawing handsomely dec
grated hose cart. Next came the
floats representing the states and ter
ritories of the union, and the goddess
of liberty represented by Helen Hood.
Then the floats loaded with school
children, the Austrian band and the
four Slavonic societies, numbering
about 300 men; citizens and speakers

The weather yesterday was the
most beautiful in the world we can
safely say. While the day was warm
it was not too warm, just warm
enough to made business at the lem
onade stands and wet goods shops in
the city good. The sun shone beauti-
fully and no cloud appeared until
about 2:30 in the afternoon when a
storm seemed inevitable but the COM
mittee of arrangements took prompt
action and the threatening clouds
stopped just before reaching the city
and passed on north about their bust
ness to Canada where they were not
in the way.

We CELEBRATED GL0RI0US[y !!
From Early Morning Until late LAST Night Merrynakng
Was the One Object.

Both sides were pretty evenly match
ed and the ten men on each side hung
to the rope like grim death to sick
niger" For fully three minutes the
Two sides swayed back and forth an
inch at time. However at last the
Firms secured several inches the best
of it and then the game was lost for
the Austrians who gradually lost
their grip allowing the Firms to win.
Ten men selected from the spectators
were then matched against the win
ners for another pull for $40. The
selected crew won the contest easily
on the first pull.
This ended the sports for the day
it being now supper time. The fire
works were all that remained of the
celebration. The committee having
the fireworks in charge went to work
promptly at dark and the brilliant
display was fired from the hill near
the shooting grounds. The fireworks
were particularly good and the dis
play lasted for an hour or more, four
men being constantly employed in
setting the same The set piece en-
titled Fourth of July" was extra
good. Besides the committees dis

works and for nearly two hours, the
air was Illuminated about the city
with rockets, candles and wheels.
Several dozen balloons were noticeable
in the heavens at time. Ely, this
year did herself. particularly proud
on the fireworks and it must be re-
marked, it was a pleasant sight.
Notwithstanding the fact everybody
was tired with the days festivities,
over 100 couples found their way to
the pavilion in the evening and in
dulged in a dance to the music Of the
City band. The band was given the
floor and the boys realized handsome
ly for which they are duly thankful.
The entire program was carried out
as advertised with the exception of
che tall game, for which no satisfact-
DRY arrangements could be made. The
clubs correspondent with wanted the
earth with policeman to watch it.
However there is not much regret felt
over the loss of the ball game as the
program without the game kept every
one fully occupied.
Considering the fact that there
were nearly 1000 people on the streets
all day and the fool with his cannon
crackers was much in evidence, not
one accident occurred. While there
were also several seen on the streets
with jags, yet no one became abusive
or insulting and the Jail was of no
use all day, This was due to the
police protection afforded.
Altogether the celebration was one
of the best and cleanest ever had in
this city where good celebrations are
a feature. Everybody was satisfied
and good time was had by all.

in carriages. A detachment of Rose
velt's Rough Riders followed the car
riages. The rough riders made good
showing and were a particularly at
tractive part of the parade. The
Calithumpians came next and the
balance of the population not already
enumerated in the above, followed.
The line of march was up Chapman
street to Fourth avenue, down Sheri-
dan street to First avenue and again
up Camp street to the pavilion where
the column disbanded, the larger pOr-
tion remaining and listening to the
speeches and music.
The pavilion exercises were very
pleasing. Mrs. T. V. Kelly read the
Declaration of Independence in a
manner clearly understood by all and
with expression that left no doubt in
the minds of her listeners as to her
ability. The patriotic songs rendered
by the ladies and the solo America"
by Miss Florence Carey were received
with applause. Rev. Father Smrekar
made a short address in the Slavonic
tongue and to judge by the applause
and cheers, it was probably a good
one. The speaker of the day was the
Hon j. w. Reynolds, of Duluth, who
then took the stand and delivered an
grafton of one half hour which was
conceded by all mastery effort. Mr..
Reynolds spoke on the history of the
day and the social significance of July
4th. His address was well received.
The hose cart race which was to
follow the pavilion exercises was put
off until TWO o'clock and many of the
people sought the shooting grounds to
watch the shoot, others went to din
ner.
At O'Clock the bicycle races took
place at the ball park. In the mems
three-lap race, four were entered;
John Harri. John Columbia, Andrew
Hill and Ed. Thomas. They were
awarded the prizes in the order named
with the exception Of Thomas, who
quit, not making the three laps. In
the boys two-laps race Thos. Harri,
Bert Morrison and Will Griffin started
and came home in the order named
winning the prizes. The little girls
race was one of the prettiest events of
the day. The starters were. Sadie

Florence Norqnist and Emby Oster-
berg. Emily Osterberg came in first.

programme at the ball park and the
crowds led by the bands went to Sec
ond avenue where the small sports
were scheduled.
At 2 o'clock On Second avenue, the
the hose cart race between six men of
No. l and six men of No. 2 companies
was run. While the two companies
aggregate "a men only half were found
that were not busy and they decided
to make the trial. No. l company
had the first trial, making a run with
the cart of 100 yards, laying 2 lengths
of hose, breaking coupling and attach
ing nozzle and coupling on to the hyd-
rant in Al seconds. Considerable de-
lay was caused in breaking the coup
ling, the threads seemingly having
been rusted. No. 2cempany made the
same race in 80 seconds, so it is said

the fire departments are always an in
teresting sight and the race this year
was no exception.
The 200-yard foot race for men was
a fair run and was holly contested by
about five starters. The winner of
run was John UrQuhart who was
closely followed by Arthur Sheridan,
the others bringing in the rear, w.
Edwards in the lead for third place.
The 10O-yard dash for men was quite
an interesting event, The winners
were about the same in every event
for men. only the positions being
slightly transposed on several occas-
ions, Urquhart seemed however to be
the leader and he carried off the larg-
er portion of the money. Arthur
Sheridan came in for the second and
w. Edwards for the third portions.
In the boys races many entries
were made, nearly a dozen starting.
Christian Gianotti won first on the
100 yard dash in the 10 year old class.
In the boys sack race, Oscar Aubin
won the first by over 20 feet defeating
over a dozen starters.
The squaw races were prominent
feature and an event which the
kodakers took in with a gustO. The
old squaw race was run twice two
younger onces starting ahead of an
old squaw and the Judges decided that
another run was necessary. In the
second trial, the old squaw came in
first. She was clearly the favorite
and was greeted with cheers. Only
two entities were made in the young
squaw run. We would gladly give the
names of the winners, but time is too
limited. Esther Blumeson led the
young girls by several feet, winning
first money. The 10-year girls race
was very pretty.
The tug of war between the Aust
rians and Firms was by far the best
tug of war ever seen in the city.
