 "The Salt River valley as an invig- orator. was characterized by two floats showing the manner in which the emi- grant comes and how he prospers after a residence of a short time in this rich agricultural valley. Then came the Indian school football eleven, followed by the Tucson eleven. the two teams which will contest for supremacy on the gridiron at Lightburn plaza this afternoon. A horseless carriage was the creation of Mansfield 6 Rhodes. The Arizona Nursery was represented | by a float which showed the advance ment of the orange industry in the valley. A large tree filled with grape fruit was surrounded by q magnificent display of oranges, and on the side Of the float the words Arizona Nursery were written in orange letters. Ezra Thayer, the hardware man, placed a large horse on his float which was the center of an attractive design. The El- sin dairy displayed one of it's choicest milch cows on handsome float.
 | The secret society division followed this display, headed by the Albuquer- que band one of the finest musical or ganizations in New Mexico. The Wood men of the World came first with a | float which was a mystery to all those who are not familiar with the secrets of this society. The float represented | the decapitation of some unfortunate person, and the members of the order i followed afoot each carrying an aX. Then came a float Illustrating by com parison the widow left with a compe- | tence from insurance and the widow who is left in poverty The Foresters | float contained a large portrait of Captain Buckley O'Neill. in whose hon. or this lodge was named. The mem bers of the order participated in the parade. The Spanish Ali | ance was out in force, and it, too, had a float which was attractively gotten up. Beautiful Spanish maidens rode on the float and presented a picture of peace. The Odd Fellows had three floats in the parade. The one repre- senting Rebekah at the well was par ticularly interesting. The Independ- ent Order of Foresters gave practical illustration of the benefits of member ship in it's folds. The float presented the chamber of dying husband with the grief-stricken wife and sorrowing children at the bedside of the dying man. The idea was well presented and the float was one of the best seen in the parade.
 The Chinese division was a show ir itself worthy of a generous patronage The secret societies of the Chinese were out with their members attired in the silken costumes of the orders. The symbols of the secret orders were car ried, and a Chinese band played. The music brought back memories of the midway to some people, and others said the airs were only Chinese rag time. Whatever they were the music and the whole representation could moi be improved upon.
