battles for life and property, mostly
when the majority of citizens are
asleep and who risk their lives and
good clothes whenever the alarm bell
rings out.
The Brotherhood of Railway Train
men was but lightly represented, the
railroad boys not taking a great deal
of interest in the demonstration as
body, but the few showed they had
the cause at heart.
The Modern Woodmen and I. o. r.
M. were out in goodly number, espe-
cially the Redmen, who made a great
hit. Fully thirty braves were in
line, afoot and on cayuses, and there
was one cayuse which carried two
real Indians, a Flathead buck and
squaw, but they were in appearance
the same as the rest of the braves,
only not so picturesque. The lodge
OF Redmen are deserving of great
credit
OF the score or two, floats and dec
grated vehicles which completed the
procession the Kalispell Flour Mill
Co. had, without doubt, the prize dis
play A pyramid of sacked flour,
ranging from half barrels to ten
pounds, was stacked up, surmounted
by bunting and signs, the vehicle

colors, the horses as we'll, and the

Other floats were very good the
Brewery had big tram, shaped like
beer hall, and some very realistic
scenes were carried on between the
/ half dozen occupants of the moving
tavern, and the cases of beer and
soda water. AS the march progress
ed many bottles of soothing liuuid
were handed out to the boys and they

other floats and many decorated car

minutes to pass a given pont.
At Anderson's Grove.
The early afternoon saw the peo-
pie in hundreds headed for the pic
mic grounds where the day of unal-
loyed pleasure was to be rounded
out.
At three o'clock it was estimated
that 1000 folks were in the grove and
enjoying themselves hugely. Sports
and pastimes crowded one on the
other and the dancers filled all the
gaps, the big pavilion of the Sons of
herman being utilized.
The --refreshment booths were all
conducted by the Trades and Labor
committees and they did a rushing
trade from noon till night, the amount
of ice cream, lemonade pop, cider
and soda dispensed being a wonder
There were melons, fruit and candy,
and pretty girls to hand them out,
which added not little to the joy of
living.
