1T was July the seventh,
And Denver was gay
with flags and with bunting,
And hip and hooray,
And the man in the chair
Mopped the place where his hair
Was wonted to grow,
And he said, "Just to show
The humor we're in,
l am going to ask
For a bon mot from Bryan
OF Lincoln, Nebrask."
There was wit In his smile
AS the Peerless One bowed
And stilled the applause
OF the good-natured crowd
With wave of his hand;
And he said In his bland,
oratorlcal way.
I'VE are gathered today
On the banks of the Platte
Where its clear waters lap
The feet of the hills,
AS youth find on the map"
His smile was as soft
AS the breeze in the oak,
And the multitude wondered.
Unguessing the joke,
Till he said. Seeing that
We are right on the Platte.
1t ought to be true
That the country will view
Our party, my friends,
To be just and exact,
As the only one having
A Plattesforin in fact"

RIVER RAPIDLY COMING UP.
Warm Weather Melting Shows
Drains OFF Mountain Snow.

The continued warm weather has
resulted in a marked rise in the
Snake and Clearwater rivers, the
register at noon today showing the
Clearwater river to have risen three
feet during the past two and a half
days.
Reports received from the upper

that creeks draining the upper snow
regions are rising very rapidly and 1T
is expected the rivers will again
reach the high water mark II the
warm weather continues.

WOOD BLOCK
FOR PAVEMENT
STREET PAVING REs0LUTI0N
10 BE PRESENTED COUNCIL
TONIGHT Will CARRY sPECuT-
CATIONS FOR SUCH MATERIAL.

The first resolution on the street
paving question, together with the
plans and specifications OF the con-
struction and the character OF pave
ment to be installed will be received
by the city council tonight. Tha
consensus OF opinion Is now favora-
BILE to the wood block pavement, anc
the report OF members Of the Com
mercial club committee that recent
ly visited Portland strengthens this
view.
Mayor Heitfeld states the wood
pavement In Portland is giving en-
tire satisfaction, and where abutting
pavement Is made of asphalt or brick
the wood block has been found to be
more durable and more generally sat
isfactory.
After the passage of the resolution
the council will set date within the
next 80 days at which time the prop
erty owners will be asked to appear
and show cause why the pavement
shall not be installed.
Another interesting feature to
come before the council tonight Is
the report Of City Controller Nick
erson on the water system accounts.
Mr.. Nickerson has been engaged in
compiling the data for the water ac-
counts for some time and Is now
ready to report to the council the
plan adopted, which will eliminate
any further need of canvassing the
city to secure data on the system.
Each service is numbered and the
book account is with that number at
a specified rate and this will remain
unchanged regardless to the change
in tenants or number in the family
using the water at this place.
