Parade Portraying Changes Of
Last Five Years a Success.
LARGE CROWDS LINE STREETS OF
THE CITY.
Parade Line As Long As Expected,
Extending Over One and One Half
Miles.

| AS was expected the Industrial par
| ade on last Thursday, proved to be the
crowninG feature of the fair It was
hoped that large turnout would be
| present, but the showing far outshad-
owed the hopes OF those in charge. The
| parade was over mile long and was
truly suggestive OF the great changes
made on the tract In the period from
1904 to 1910 1t was surprise to the
oldest settler as well as the newcomer.
Munyon, as marshal of the day, pro-
ceeded and cleared the line of march
| He was followed by the marshals and
deputies. Next In line was the Twin
Falls band playing martial music.
The veterans of the local G. A. R.,
| fourteen in all, followed, and back of
them came Co. D, State Militia. An
| old stage containing the real old
| timers, called forth applause along the
| line as die the Homeless Twenty, who
| followed. The surveyors and chain
men presented suggestive appearance
| as they led the sage-brush grubbers
with their hoes and torches and the ir-
| rigatOrs with shovels and ranks. Inn
| mediately following were the automo-
biles of the Twin Falls Commercial
club members, the lead one bearing a
banner with the slogon "250 Members
| and All Boosters"
In the second division the various
| departments of the city departments
were in evidence, the fire department
street sWeepers and sprinklers and
city officials. Then followed one of
| the best floats of the day, the Metho-
dist Sunday school float, drawn by
| four fine horses. Next came the pupils
of the local schools and it was dis
tinct surtFise to see the number of
young people In the town. The kinder
garden came first and at the rear came
the high school students. Then came
the various school floats out for the
prize. The Lincoln float was neatly
arranged but for unique one another
beat it with side of bacon, skillets
and skins hung on the wagon The
Buhl wagons were next in line and
from the showing made it is clear to
see that seventeen miles is no obstacle
in the way of those on the west end
The Kimberly band and the local can
ton of the Odd Fellows were followed
in line by the Filler school children,
large delegation coming ON horseback,
riding two by two. They led in line
the Marina school district No. 10. A
large banner announced the Pleasant
View delegation of twenty.
The last division showed the types of
transportation in 1904 and in 1910,
and the distinction was very marked.
One wagon load of sagebrush bore the
sign Fuel in 1904 and was followed
by c. load coal bearing the notice Fuel
in 1870" The long line of automobiles
was followed by the very well deco
rated float of L. A. Snyder, who had a
fine display of farm products and of
fowls. The parade line was ended by
a line of livestock of the tract.
To bring out sufficient participants
to make parade over mile long is
no little task and it shows what can
! be done by the people on the tract as
/ well rs showing what the tract can do
| in the way of production. Many favor
able comments were made by outsiders
and the favorable impression made by
| this industrial parade will yield actual
| financial gains in the near future. It
was the biggest thing ever pulled off in
| Southern Idaho and is bound to reflect
| favorably on the tract.
