CORNISH, Master Al. COrHlsH, MI anu
Mrs. Waldman and Miss Won Dornum
We were fortunate enough to hear
a delightful serenade to Mr.. and Mrs.
Glib on last Sunday evening. We
have always been under tie impress
sion that the violin alone could sue
cessfully initiate the human voice
What was our astonishment then to
listen to fine contralto solo on the
cornet rendered by Professor Lanzi.
Our Italian American fellow citi
zens are perfectly cognizant of the
many signal helps rendered them by
the general superintendent and are
testifying their appreciation in most
graceful way. 1t is unnecessary for
us to state that the band partook of
Mrs. Gibbs gracious hospitality.
The force of good example has
never been better illustrated than in
the beautiful surroundings with which
Joseph j. Smith has garnished his
home during his three years residence
among us. In walking down the river
road, which contains all the homes of
the humber workman, we found ev-
cry garden plot in creditable condition
and the road taken all in all as beau
tiful village street as can be found
in this nation at large. Across the
way from Mr. Smith, we noted his
neie hbor the station agent diligently
employed and he is a gentleman not
distinguished for love of manual la
Dor but when nature touches up his
work his plot will be found a credit
able companion picture to that of Mr..
Smith.
The hosts that will be assembled at
Glenwood s great festival will doubt
less be surprised at the wonderful
progress of the Redstone band, since
last Strawberry Day, when they ac-
quilted themselves so creditably. The
remarkable talent of the Italian people
for music together with the signal
capability OF their leader will account
for much of this progress. Signor
Lanzi with Signors DeGregorio,
Lamonte, DiFulvio and Cicatelli,
constituted the star soloists of Rivela S
Royal Italian band. one of the great
est and most remarkable aggregation
in the world. Signor Lanzi was com
PEELED to throw up his engagement
owing to the state of his health and
to seek the Colorado climate where by
the advice of warm personal friends
he settled in Redstone.
Our article on the floods though
timely has created adverse criticism
Jack Clayton, an old timer says we
never saw the food gates open, In
June 1899, he rode over the bridge
fronting the Ligget residence and wet
his feet though riding good sized
saddle horse. At that time the course
of the river ran west of the coke ov-
ems, but was DETECTED during the
summer to its present status. The
bridge is now in most dangerous
condition and its destruction proba-
BILE Mr.. Clayton states that the
Cline bridge was never swept away.
Three years ago the writer was assist
ant to Engineer Stannard. He sur
veyed the bridge and it was almost
, entirely reconstructed This doubt
less gave rise to the false report. We
reached here in November, 1899 and
can of course vouch for nothing pre-
ceeding that period. The present
flood reached high water mark again
last Monday and then began to recede
But at this writing there has been a
steady downpour of rain, which if
continued until morning will proba
bly, surpass the record referred to by
Mr.. Clayton in June, 1899
We had the pleasure of meeting

Neish have had born to them twelve

as Mr.. Neish are fine examples and of
which the President himself is the

understood that Redstone was to be
