most inspiring scene ever Witnessed
in Birmingham It drew the largest
crowd that ever packed her streets,
and according to the veterans them
selves was the most magnificent they

Fully 5000 veterans took part in the
parade, while thousands were unable

.ASHITA RISES
ONCE MORE AT
CARNEGIE

Between four O'clock and seven this
morning the river fell seven inches at
the power companys dam, but at that
time was still six to eight inches
higher than at any time this year.
Last night it lacked about fourteen
inches Of coming up to the top Of the
side Of the dam. At this point the
river is fully 1900 feet wide, reaching
out to the second bottom
THE dam is standing the pressure
all right said Mr., O'Brien this morn
ing, and we do not anticipate any
trouble unless the river should rise
four or five feet higher In that even
it would probably cut away the banks
and damage the walls extending out
from the DAM
Mr.. O'Brien received a message
from Carnegie this morning stating
that the river fell three feet last night,
but had begun to rise rapidly From
the amount Of water that had fallen
along the upper course Of the stream,
it was thought that the rise would be
the greatest yet. It will take it four
days to reach here. Unless there are
more very heavy rains in the meantime
it will not amount to over ten or
twelve inches here.
