CELEBRATE IT'S CENTENNl Il
City Of Chicago Is Now One Hun
bred Years Old. ~%
Programme Will Continue Until the
- First of OctOber-Many Visitors
.,.~-.....-. Are Present.

Chicago, Sept. 28.---This city has be-
gun six-day celebration of it's one
hundredth anniversary. A century
ago the first spadeful of earth was
hung in preparing to build Fort Dear
born.
10 commemorate that simple event
Chlcago's two millions, aided by hun
dreds OF thousands of visitors, will
put in the time until next Thursday
night recalling early days, reviving
ancient memories and honoring the
pioneers who made possible the Chi
cago of to-day.
For the next five days the old log
blockhouse, the A in Chicago's alpha
bet, will cease to be the mere dot on
the horizon of time it appears to the
busy Chicagoan in the dizzy whirl of
the present day, and will stand a more
prominent feature of the mental land
scape, at least, than any sky-piercing
building of the city.
At two o'clock Friday afternoon the
centennial began with the formal
dedication of nine historical tablets de-
picting notable events in the annals
of the city. Exercises were held at the
public library, where a tablet portray
ing the first and second Forts Dear
born was unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies.
Until the evening of October 1 the
city will be given over to celebration
of its growth from a solitary log hut,
which sheltered the handful of hardy
invaders of the wilderness from saw
ages and wild beasts, to splendid city,
the greatest industrial center of the
world.
AS honored guests Of the city the de-
scendants of the Kinzies, the Whist
lers, the Swearingens and others
identified with the birth of Chicago
are here to participate in the celebra-
ton. Delegations representing other
cities, which years ago smiled at Chi
cago's challenge in the race for SUI
premacy, are also guests, acknowledge
ing Chicago's greatness.
Perfect weather marked the begin
ming of the municipal festival, although
there was a taste of unpleasant wind.
The buildings in the downtown dis
trict were gayly decorated for the &C.
casion. Flags and shields, the nation s
colors and the city's emblem, enliven
the dull brick and stone in the COM
mercial center. Many residences, too,
display banners and bunting in honor
of the season set aside to point to
past achievements.
