THE FOURTH
 AT WRANCELL
Wet, But Not Enough to Dampen the
 Ardor of our People

When our people awoke on the morn- ing of the Fourth they could lie and listen to the batter of the rain upon the roof with great deal of satisfaction were it not for the fact that preparation had been made for the grandest celebra- ton in the history of the town. But if the elements imagined for moment that they could cool the arder of the Wraugelltes by drizzling rain, they were very much mistaken. The only perceptible difference the rain made VIZ 8 in the decorations that had been made the day before. In numerous places in town bunting had been put up in pro- fusion. The dampness had caused the colors to run, and instead of being the national colors, long strips of pale blue greeted the eye. However, the spirit was shown in what remained, and by 'o'clock enthusiasm was running high, and the small boy with the firecracker was prominent, which could not have been had the weather continued dry. Hence if 1t was trihe disagreeable, it pleased "Young America," and he's the chap for which the day was largely made. But as to the doings of the day
 The first thing of the day was a rife shooting match, which was won by J Calkins, Tommy More, second.
 It being too wet to hold the morning exercises at the stand erected outside, nt 10 o'clock bugle called the people to the Red Mems Hall, where, at 10:15 Mayor Mccormack. as president of the day, called the assem blaze to order with a neat and patriotic little speech and set the ball to rolling. Rev. J. s. Clark delivered a fervent invocation; the vol ces of the children blended sweetly in the singing of America, the Beautiful :" G. l.. Rodman read the Declaration of Independence in clear voice and in a manner that made it easily understood by all; better air could not have been selected than the International Hymn" which the children sang so well; A. V R. snyder delivered the address (see 4th Page); Geo. c L. Snyder sang "The Meaning of L. S. Az, and then all Arose and joined in singing "America," :" which closed the morning exercissc.
 At p. m., Lawrence Horgheim and Oscar Case won the 100-yard race for ta;s under 16.

VISITORS ARE GRATEFUL

After spending an enjoyable Fourth at this place, our friends of Shakan and Marble Creek left for home in the Ragn- hild about noon of the 9th. Before they left they held a meeting and passed . vote of thanks to the people of Wran. gell for their many kindnesses and courtesies upon this occasion. They requested the SENTINEL to make their action public and to assure our people that if occasion presents itself they will surely remember what reciprocation means.
 While the sports were at their height on the Fourth, and Q big crowd was an the dock, a son of Charley Lott about eight or nine years old, fell off the front of the dock into about forty feet of water, with a ewift-running tide. Tom my Moore plunged in, seized the child and held him up until boat arrived and took both of them in. That act oi Moore probably saved the boys life.
 Now. that the Fourth is over, let us turn our attention to removing the old and disgraceful shacks, floating dock, cleaning up the graveyard and building a small pier for boat land .ng at that place. Last, and very important, let's boost loud and continuously for level walk from Front St. to Stikine Ave.
 At the outcome of the 100-yard dash on the Fourth, Leo Mccormack took a bad fall on the plank street that knocked the breath out of him for time. But he escaped with nothing more serious than few bruises.
