The state herald., 1901-07-19

stages is something like reading an
cient history. The people Of Colorado
Springs intend to give, during the first
three days of August sort of object
lesson along this line. The name given
to the occasion is the Quarto-Centcn-
nial Jubilee. and 1t will be one of the
biggest events that have ever taken
place in the Far West.
The idea of celebrating Colorado's
twenty-iith anniversary as n state was
first suggested by the Honorable /. n.
Stevens in the Colorado Springs Gaz-
cite, and it was caught up eagerly by
most of the state newspapers. The
Quarto- Centennial Jubilee Association
was at once formed In this city, its
membership being almost identical
with that of the Chamber of Com
merce. ]. G. Shields was elected pres
ldent; 1. n. Stevens and l.. A. Il. All
lers, vice presidents; irving Howbert,
treasurer; and Gilbert McClurg, secre-
tary. With these gentlemen are asso-
ciated In the executive committee ID.
b. Farley, Philip b. Stewart, Don Q.
Goddard and George Rex Buckman.
The plan is to make the celebration
represent the progress OF the state and
incidentally of the whole Rocky Noun
tain region in every branch of activity.
There will be characteristic exhibits
showing the development of the state
from the earliest times, reunions of old
settlers, and speeches by men prom
lnent in the states history and by dis
tinguished visitors. Special features
will be the Women's Congress, the
Elks' fair and the Rough Riders re-
union.
The celebration will be such as to
merit the attention not only Of the far
West but of the whole nation and 1t
will be fifty chronicled by artists and
writers OF eastern Illustrated papers
who will be here in force to attend the
most significant historic festival in the
annals OF the Rocky Mountain region.
The three days set apart for the Gel
ebration will be crowded with events.
Each has been named for It's most con
spicuous feature-August 1st, Pioneer
Day: August I'd. State Day; and Au-
gust 3D.. Rough Riders Day; but in ad-
dition there will be the other events al
