POSTMASTER BIGGS TELLS
ABOUT WASHINGTON TRIP

Postmaster Biggs, who arrived from
Washington City last Saturday night,
gives a very interesting account of
his trip. He and his wife, with Mr..
and Mrs. f. NJ Biggs of Canon City,
had a very pleasant journey. travelling
over the Rock Island from Denver to
Chicago, from Chicago to Cincinnati
via the Big Four, and from Cincinnati
TO Washington over the Chesapeake &.
Ohio. There were fifty in the party.
and having secured their transporta.
tion they were given a sleeper and
chair car and treated with every cour.
tesy by the railroad people A spe-
cial dining car was attached to the
train. and this was run straight
through to Washington. They receiv-
ed very nice treatment and service
from all of the roads along the way
the dining car service was excellent
and everything satisfactory.
The G. A. r. parade in the City OF
Washington this year was the largest
ever seen since the parade at the close
of the war in '65 there being over
100. 900 of the old soldiers in line, and
requiring five hours and twenty min
utes for the procession to pass the
reviewing stand. On account of his
recent accident President Roosevelt
was unable to remain in the reviewing
stand, the doctors having advised him
after the operation to be careful of
the injury, but he drove in a carriage
through Pennsylvania avenue as the
procession passed, riding among the
old soldiers so that all might see him
and greet him, which they did most
enthusiastically 1t was during the
encampment meeting that the great
coal strike was settled. The president
was just able to see the committees
of miners and operators and confer
with them, but the settlement that was
made was very satisfactory to both
parties. 1t was one of the greatest
features of the administration, one of
the greatest favors that any admin.
istration has rendered to the CONNER
cial and laboring interests of our
country. There is only one express
sion from all parties, and that is in
praise of the presidents wisdom and
impartiality in dealing with the oper-

sentees were Messrs. Mcclure. Wood
and Naeglia. The minutes of the last
regular and adjourned meetings were
read and approved.
Applications were made by Messrs
Leap and Morgan for liquor license
which was granted. Also transfer OF
liquor license was made from George
Dick to Chitwood & Starwn.
The monthly reports of officers were
read and approved and recorded and
filed.
II d. Henderson brought up the
question again of making some deal
with the city by which the city's
rights to the water OF the Cascade
creek could be turned over to the use
of the corporation which he is repre-
senting. The matter was laid oyei
until the next meeting.
d. F. Day brought up before the
council the question with reference tc
the subject of the Florida water
rights, etc. The subject was dis
cussed in a way that showed the coun
Gil feeling very favorably toward the
Florida proposition, and they ap
pointed committee of three consist
ing of Messrs. Darlington, Buskirl
and Alexander to draft an answer tc
Mr. Days inquiries. and to get up 8
circular of information explaining the
advantages and disadvantages of this
Florida water right.
The council then adjourned unit

The delegates were disappointed in
not being able to visit the White

The business meeting of the G. A.

elected Mr.. Stewart of Pennsylyania
as commander in chief, and decided
upon San Francisco as the meeting

Root, who made very able and elo-
quent speech on the services of the
old soldiers, on the war of the rebel
lion and the present conditions of the
country and the relations we bear to
these conditions. He also expressed
the presidents s regrets at not being
able to attend in person, and his con-
gratulations on the continuous extern

of the speaking.
