witness a spectacle the like of which
has not been seen in Russia since the
coronation ceremonies in Moscow
The spectacle will be of combined
military and historical character. The
scenic pageant has been arranged by
MazwiOfsky, the battle painter, and
Mouravieff, the military historian
The battle of Poltava will be enacted
as it was fought 200 years ago, part
of the Russian forces representing
the Swedes. The climax, the regi-
mental chiefs laying the Swedish
standards at the foot of Peter the
Great. will be taken from Kotchu-
bey's picture.
The battle of Poltava. fought July
IS, 1909, is regarded as one Of the
decisive battles" of history. On the
issue of the conflict depended the SUI
premacy of northern Europe. The
victory placed Russia among the pow
ers of civilized Europe. Charles XII
was defeated and with him fell Swe-
den from thu high estate to which
he had raised it. Had the heroic
Swede come out of the battle a victor
instead of fugitive. Peter the Great
might have relapsed into the condi-
ton of one of the Gears of Musco-
Wy" interesting semi-barbarians, rul-
ers of country so far from Europe
that the latter viewed it with a curl
osiry unmingled with apprehension.
When Charles XII. came to the
Swedish throne, Sweden was one of
the first powers of Europe. Her SOL
diers were among the bravest adm the
best disciplined, and her destiny
seemed to be that of a leader among
nations. Once at least in the heroic,
but meteoric, career of Charles, he
had the opportunity to dictate a
peace which would have given SWed-
en- an undisputed prominence in
northern Europe, but he permitted
this occasion to go by. He had de-
throned the king of Poland and
broke the cars ambassador on the
wheel as a traitor Peter the Great,
maddened by the vengeful act Of
Charles, prepared for a struggle to
the death. Charles, however, con-
tinued his triumphs, and invading
Russia at the head of his army,
mrached by almost the very route
which Napoleon followed a little
more than a century later, and shared
almost identically the same fate
Charles at last. in the heart Of Rus
STA, with an exhausted army, was
overwhelmingly defeated at Poltava,
and his conquests were at an end.
1t was not great battle guaged
by the numbers involved. 1t is doubt
full if Charles ever had $4,000 under

LEGISLATION
REPRESENTATIVE HOLM DOES
NOT LOOK FOR ANY TROUBLE
COMMISSIONER SNOW HAS
MADE FAVORABLE REPORT.

Representative Holm arrived here
this morning from Olympia and Sc
attic. Following the adjournment Of
the special session Of the legislature
until August IL, Mr.. Holm spent sew
eral days in Seattle visiting the
fair.
Mr. Holm was asked regarding the
status Of the Wenatchee bridge legis-
lation by the World this morning,
and he stated that the people of We
natchee have nothing to fear regard
ing adverse legislation. While there
was bill introduced in the lower
house to repeal the bill providing
for the purchase by the state of the
Wenatchee bridge yet the bill had
made little progress up to the time
of the adjournment The speaker of
the house has ruled that all bills
that were not passed prior to the adj
journment were dead and that in or
der to pass any further legislation
new bills will have to be introduced
after the reconvening Of the legisla-
ture August IL. 1t is not likely that
there will be anything at that time
but the report of the investigating
committee. The legislature will be
too busy with the Schively case to
bother with new bills.
State Highway Commissioner
Snow has made written report on
the bridge and it is very favorable.
He has suggested few minor
changes in the conditions of the pur-
chase For instance, he suggests that
the trusses on the side of the bridge,
on which the pipe line is carried, be
paid for by the Wenatchee Canal
| company. He also suggests that the
bridge be refloored as it shows evil
dence of considerable wear. With a
! few minor changes Mr.. Snow is we'll
pleased with the bridge. An engin-
eer will be here in a few days to
make some further tests of the bridge
| before it is finally accepted.
