Modern activities will not be neg
lected in the parade. There will be
floats representing the material indus
tries of the state, agriculture, mining,
etc. One will be provided by the citi-
Zcns of Pueblo which will probably

Colorado Springs high school Will ex-
hibit some of the characteristic fen-
lures of student life.
The annual flower carnival will this
year form part of the quarto-centen-
NAL parade. This flower parade has
become justly famous, surprising as
il has done for several years any SINH
lar display in the world, and 1t will
be the effort of the management to
make this years parade superior to
any in the past. Mr.. Clarence T..
Dodge, who Is in charge, reports that
many decorated traps have already
been entered and that the probabili-
ties are that many more Will enter
within short time.
On the evening of State Day there
will be magnificent banquet given
by the Jubilee Association in honor of
the editors of the state. One male
representative from every Colorado
newspaper is invited to attend. The
great ball room of the new Antlers
hotel has been reserved for the occa-
sion. and 1t is the intention of the as
sociation to make this one of the most
elaborate features of the celebration.
Every journalist in the West has al
ways felt 1t his duty to aid in the pro-
motion of the growth and prosperity
of his town, county and state. He has
been filed with sublime faith In the
future of the country, and this ban
quet will be, in part, recognition of
his extraordinary efforts and success.

Iuct will be the distinguished guests
who will be here from outside the
state. Vice President Roosevelt will
attend and will preside. He will also
make one of the principal speeches of

tor of the Commoner, will probably be

William Il. Hearst of New York. Edi-
tor ltosewater Of Omaha. Henry Wat
