Memorial Exercises

Memorial day was httiuglv com
memorated in Grand Junction YES
terday by the members of G. A. r
Post No. 30 and the Woman's Relief
Corps and the friends of the ORGAN
izations.
The day was delightfully."- fitted for
such exercises as the occasion calls
forth.
The parade formed at the school
house about 1890 am and made a
very impressive showing along the
route traversed. The procession was
made up as follows:
Marshals on horseback
Carriage containing mayor and
city officials
The C. a. r. Post, led by the drum
corps.
The Indian boys band.
Pupils of the Indian school
School children.
Woman's Relief Corps i'm car
riages
Fire department.
Citizens in carriages and ON horses.
The parade passed from the school
house down White avenue to First
street; then up Main street to Sixth:
down Sixth to Colorado. and thence
to the City park.
The G. y. r. post was well repre-
sented in the parade There were
perhaps so of the old veterans In
line. All wore the blue uniform
and made a very handsome and inn
pressive appearance.
The Indian band is composed of
% pieces and every Young man
knows how to use his instrument.
The selections rendered by this in
teresting musical organization were
OF a high class. and every number
was most entertaining. The young
men wore handsome suits, white
duck trousers and bright red coats.
The pupils of the Indian school in
the line of the parade numbered
about 200.
AT the city park several hundred
people gathered to hear the program.
The Indian band gave selection
and the post commander delivered a
short address and read the order of
the call for Memorial day made by
the state department of the G. A. r.
A prayer was offered by Rev. ID. d.
Brooks. The song rendered by the
mixed quartet was very beautiful.
and was fully appreciated by the
audience.
The Grafton of the day was deliv-
tlth uN lNtNs Il i w dlAil7 VI lllA
Christian church. He spoke for about
thirty minutes and held the close at
tention of the large crowd.
Following the grafton the mixed
quartet delighted the throng with an
other selection and then the national
air, America, was sung with a will
by all. The benediction followed
and the exercises were brought TO a
close.
shortly before noon many Of the
veterans and the Woman's Relief
Corps. accompanied by a number OF
other friends, went to the Orchard
Mesa cemetery and the graves of the
patriotic dead We're strewn with flow
ers. Not a grave in which Union
soldier slept was overlooked.
The decoration of the graves end
ed the days program and the eNer-
cises of another Memorial day were
at an end.
All but two of the grocery stores
were closed throughout the day and
business houses of all kinds We're
closed between the hours of 10 and
l.
This day. sacred to the memory OF
the patriotic dead, was tittingly OBJ
served in Grand Junction. Every
wear the old veterans grow less il
number, and as the once mighty
host dwindles away, the memory oI
the dead should be held in higher
reverence.

In his advices from New Orleans to the
public health and marine hospital service
today Surgeon White says that house
toulouse inspection is being conducted in
the portion of the city which is infected
by yellow fever. This section includes
forty or fifty blocks. He also says that
general screening for protection against
mosquitoes is promised. DR.. White ex-
presses the hope that the disease may yet
be eradicated but says that while efforts
will be directed to that end. attention also
will be directed to preventing it's spread
into other sections.
Passed Assistant Surgeon Joseph Gold
berger has been ordered to Nicksburg,
Miss and Shreveport La, with instruc-
lions to run down all rumors of yellow
fever cases in those cities and to conduct

SUGAR RATE REDUCED.
Cut Made to Meet the Southern Com
petition.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 26.-The Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe companies have
formally announced reduction in the rate
of refined sugar between this city and the
Missouri river and points I'm Kansas and
Nebraska from 50 cents to % cents a
hundred pounds in carload lots.
The cut has been made to meet cut
made by the lines operating between New
Orleans and the same points mentioned
above and for the purpose of placing Cali
fornia refiners on an equal footing with
southern competitors. Recently the lines
operating out of New Orleans. among them
the Illinois Central, the Frisco and several
subsidiary lines of the Southern Pacific
dissolved their agreement relative to sugar
rates and entered upon war that ended
few days ago In the rate being cut from
30 cents 10 10 cents a hundred pounds.
AS a result the California refiners found
themselves seriously handicapped in their
business and finally appealed for relief to
the lines running out of this city. with the
result that the cut made. The reduc-
ton. the railroad officials claim brings the
east-bound rate down TO the lowest point
In the history of western refining.

THOMAS AT PORTSMOUTH.
Official Visit of Inspection-His Nota-
BILE Record.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTSMOUTH. Va, July 26-Rear Ad-
miral Charles NJ. Thomas, in charge of
all the training stations of the United
States navy, this morning paid an official
visit of inspection to the receiving ships
Franklin and Richmond, aboard of which
the naval recruits are quartered at this
navy yard. He also inspected the train
ing grounds at st. Helena and reviewed
the battalion of bluejackets.
Capt. Thomas established the training
system now in vogue at this yard. While
he was commanding officer of the Frank
lin and in general charge of the training
of the recruits when they first began to
come from the west, he has been emil
nently successful in turning farmer boys
into American sailors and gunners. and
the men all love him. He has made a
notable record for himself in this highly
important branch of the naval service.
The inspection of the men and their
summer camp today was very satisfac-
tory to him. and he will SO report to the
Navy Department The fact that there
is located at this yard the greatest train
ing station in the world is largely due to
the efforts of Admiral Thomas. who
recognized in this climate and geographic
cal location the ideal for such institu-
ton.
