Oyster Bay, Sept. 5.-Presiden,
est fleet Of fighting ships ever assem-
bled under the American flag. Three
long columns of men of war
tugged at their anchors in the wa
ters Of Long Island sound. Forty
five vessels, all within range Of Saga
more Hill, could train 1,17S guns On the
summer residence Of President Roose-
welt. Instead they roared out to him a
tremendous salute as he came among
them on his flagship, the May1ower.
The day opened with an overcast sky
stormy and intervals Of hard ain driv-
Ell before stiff but variable winds. The
disappointing weather was not allowed
to interfere with any detail Of the pro-
gram, however, and apparently had no
effect Upon the crowd which gathered
to witness the imposing spectacle, and
the president did not mind the weather
in the least.
Review Arranged With Care.
The review was arranged with ut
most care in every detail. Not a ship
is to move from it's place until the
ceremony is over or until 6 o'clock to-

Postmaster General Cortelyou, Acting
Secretary of State Bacon, Secretary to
the President and Mrs. Loeb, and As

The May1loWer during the review.
Mrs. Roosevelt was also on the May
flower.
Boarding the Mayrower at 1890 the
president reached the head of the col
umn 81 half hour later. When the
Maynower was within signaling dis
lance of the Maine, which headed the
center column a tremendous salute of
tWenty-one guns in unison, every ship
participating, was fired. When the
Mayiiower cleared the stern of the
Maine in its course down the inspec-
ton line the Maine belched forth
tWcnty-one guns more. likewise every
ship in the fleet. The MaynOwer then
Wung around the stern of the cruiser
Denver, the last ship in the third COL
umn, and then proceeded to the shore
side of the first olum and down its
length. To complete the cruise of the
MayfloWer, between and around the en-
tire fleet, the course lay between the
second and third columns, and this the
Mayflower took and anchored, 500 yards
ahead Of the flagship Maine.
President and Officers Lunch Toqether.
When the Maynower anchored, the
flag officers and the division command
ers Of the fleet paid their respects to
the president and We're entertained on
the Mayfiower at luncheon. Luncheon

visited the several battleships and the
troop ship Yankee. where he said a
few words to the crew. He then re-
turned to the May1iower and the Off

signed to the use of Mrs. Roosevelt and
her house party, and this will be an

established to keep the pleasure craft from
crowding either upon the fleet or upon the

AS the president passes each flagship
he will receive a salute of twenty-one
guns. so that in the course of his review
he will listen to the booming of 1855 shots.
The inspection will begin at II o'clock in

Pupils Of Lower School Choose
Name Of Martyred President
for the Building.

Acting upon the Examiners sug-
gestion of two weeks ago, the teach
ers IN the lower school building,
last Monday, had the pupils in all
the rooms except the primary,
choose name by which the build
ing will hereafter he known. The
teachers selected the names of Lin
coin, Longfellow, Whittier and
Bryant, and Lincoln was chosen by
the following almost unanimous
vote: Lincoln, 1874; Longfellow,
l8; Whittier, 2. Our school build
ings are now named after two of the
nations illustrIous presidents, and
in the future tirey should be referred
to only by those names-W ashing-
ton and Lincoln. Forget the old
phrases of "up-town school, and
downtown SCHOOL, and speak of
them by the appropriate and pat
riotic names the pupils have selected.

A New Business Enterprise.

E. A. Burrell and L. B. Leyerich
have formed partnership for the
purpose of engaging in the business
of buying and selling all kinds of
farm produce, for which they will
pay SPOT cash. While they will
make a speciality of buying and
shipping hay, grain and potatoes in
car load lots, they will also buy
eggs. butter, chickens and such
other produce as the farmers have
to sell.
They have secured lease on the
railroad company's ground in the
"Wye," west of the tracks, on
which they will erect a large ware
house. They have also leased from
Mrs. White her lots abutting the
railroad spur leading to the G. w.
4 M. Co.'S building. On this they
expect to also erect a store house.
This is a new business enterprise
for Montpelier, but it Is one for
which there is certainly'a good open
ing. It will afford strictly cash
market at all times of the year for
everything that the farmers have to
sell IN the produce line. Messrs.
Burrell and Leverlch are thorough
business men and will conduct this
enterprise along legitimate business
lines. During the coming season 1t
is safe to say that they will pay TO
the farmers of this county not less
than $50, OSO IN cash for produce.

Making Preliminary Survey.

Joseph Monson, OF the firm of
Monson q Schaub, civil engineers
of Logan, that has the contract for
making the surveys and furnishing
estimates for onr water system, ar.
rived Tuesday morning with sur
veyors who are now making the
preliminary survey up the canyon.
The survey will be completed this
week, when Mr.. Monson will return
to Logan and prepare the plans and
estimates. .
From his preliminary inspection,
Mr.. Monson stated that he was con-
fident they would not have to 60 up
the canyon as far, by 1000 feet, as
it was first expected IN order to get
the necessary pressure. If this
proves to be true, it will save the
city the cost of 1000 feet of pipe,
which will be quite an item.

uninterrupted service as warden,
and Of his earnest labor to inspire
the prisoners with desire to lead
better lives, which in many cases
have led to complete reform of

for his zeal in the temperance cause

the way, is an ardent friend of the
temperance cause himself.

OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Supreme Court Renders Decision in
Case Bearing on Point at
Issue In Montpelier.

Tuesday of last week the supreme
court rendered a decision which
bears directly upon point at issue
in this city, and that Is in reference
to South Eleventh street. AS will
be remembered, VIM Rich of Paris,
Motif I'd the city council some time
ago that the 80 feet of land on
Eleventh street which had been used
as public highway for Is years or
more was his property and he asked
the city to pay him 5000 for the
land if il intended to continue using
it as a highway. The council APP
pointed committee to confer with
Mr.. Rich on the matter, but as yet
no definite action has been taken.
Now comes the supreme court and
decides that where strip of land
has been used as public highway
for five years or more, the owner is
barred from obstructing 1t or recov-
ering for the land.
The case was an appeal from the
Second district court and was en-
titled the town of Julietta, respond.
ent VS.. H. M. Smith, appellant. In
|
the district court the principal con-
tention of the plaintiff was that the
strip of land described in the find
ings had been used and travelled by
the public for such length of time
tina. the same had become a public
highway by uses and that said strip
of land WAS public highway.
Judge Steele so decided and entered
an order prohibiting Smith from OBJ
structing the street, and the judg-
nent of the lower court is affirmed
by the supreme court.

Mr. Carrick's People Safe

Last Saturday Mrs. II. Carrick
received from San Francisco a piece
of brown paper about four inches
square, which bore the news that
Mr.. Carrick's brother and family
were safe, but that their house had
been destroyed by the earthquake.
The paper came through the mail
without postage, the postoffice de-
partment having given the order
that all mail forwarded from the
city would go without postage.
Yesterday she received postal from
Mr.. Carrick, who was then in Los
Angelus. He stated that his folks
in Frisco all escaped without injury.
Their home was outside the burned
district, bnt it was so badly dam.
iged by the shock tnat the house
will probably have to be torn down
and rebuilt.

Eighty seventh Anniversary.

Yesterday was the s7th anniyer-

THE STRICKEN CITY.
Aid Pouring into Frisco from all
Quarters Montpelier Makes
Liberal Donations.

Order is now beng rapidly re-
stored in San Francisco, which was
almost completely wiped out by the
flames that followed the earthquake
of last week. Insurance experts
place the loss of property at $780,.
900, 900, more than twice that Of the
great Chicago fire in 1871. The
actual number of people killed will
never he known, but it is variously
estimated at from 1000 to 5000.
Thousands of people have left the
city this week, but there still remain
over 200, 900 who are homeless and
with no means, whatever, of sup
port. The gigantic task of feeding
and caring for this vast number has
been well systematized and is being
conducted with strict military dis
cipline.
Money, food, clothing, drugs and
everything else needed are daily
flowing into San Francisco and the
other stricken cities of the state
from all quarters of the nation.
Montpelier and Bear Lake county
are doing their share IN this good
cause.
The first donations were made last
Sunday when the Masonic lodge
appropriated 800 from Its treasury.
The Odd Fellows gave $45 from the
treasury, while individual members
increased the amount to more than
800.
Monday night the Woodmen of
the World appropriated $50 from
their treasury and Tuesday the X.
of P's made an appropriation of
800, and will give more if neces-
sary.
A mass meeting was called by
the mayor Monday night at which
a committee of ten was appointed
to canvass the town. The com
mlttee completed its labors yester-
day and as result one large car of
mixed provisions will be shipped
from here today or tomorrow. The
committee is deserving of credit for
its excellent work and especially
the lady members, who made a
house to house canvass.
A car load of -four and potatoes
donated by the citizens of Paris
and Bloomington vas shipped to
Frisco Monday. As many farmers
throughout the valley have signi6ed
desire to donate provisions, it is
probable that another carload will
be shipped from here next week.
