Hotchkiss and Crawford
Both to Celebrate fbe 4th.

As usual when the people of Hotch-

the committee appointed for the Fourth
of July celebration which will be held
on Monday, July 5th, are making very
elaborate preparations to give every
body good time. A fine program is
being prepared and there will be a ball
game and field sports. Also some good
races. There will be dancing in the
afternoon and evening in the exhibit
building and the music will be furnished
by Hotchkiss' new orchestra, composed
of good musicians, who will use about
six pieces. Fred Lane is the leader of
the new orchestra and is able to select
music that will please every one who
likes dancing.
An effort is being made to get Gov
ernor Shafroth here to deliver an ad-
dress and it is thought that the effort
will be successful. Several other well
known men of the state are expected
to be here on that day and they will
certainly give US all the good talks we
want. We ought to know all about
Independence Day after we listen to
these speakers.
CRAWFORD WILL CELEBRATE
The town of Crawford will celebrate
the Fourth of July on Saturday, the
Third. this year and send an urgent in
vitation to all Hotchkiss to be present.
Crawford people always have good
time at their celebrations and we can
say for those who expect to attend this
year that they will be royalty enter
tained and will never regret the trip.
They have fine grove near town
where they hold their celebrations and
they will have pavilion for dancing.
There will be plenty of fire works in
the evening and will be set off on the
hills near the town giving very beau
tiful effect. They are all boosters up
there and will show you a good time. -

price for live hogs since 1882 was estab-

prices are due to unusually light re-

Lord Roseberry, who does not
usually figure in the role of an
alarmist, says that big war is
threatening in Europe, the init
nation being that he means be-
tween Germany and England.
He attributes this danger to the
overpowering preparations for
war" which he sees on all sides.
Prince Henry, brother of William
H., at a naval fete in Kiel. spoke
of powerful fleet as means
of securing peace" while the
talk of Admiral Weber, the naval
commander there, had a warlike
tone. Possibly there may be
something behind all this bellig-
erent language which nobody on
this side of the Atlantic is able
to see. The American public has
been inclined to laugh at all of
these war irruptions, but there
may be some actual basis for
them. In these days wars some-
times come without any appar-
ent cause, and also without any
warning.
