THE FIRST CELEBRATION
or INDEPENDENCE uAY

Ut lNUCTCNUCNUC Uni
Although the Fourth of July has
passed into history, the following
historical account of the first cele
bration will prove interesting to
our readers:
1t is l36 years since the CONT
mental congress, adopted the Dee
laration of independence, which
proclaimed these United States
tree and independent, and Tor the
one hundred and thirty-seventh
time the people are celebrating "
The celebration has not changed
much Stree the "doin's" that took
place when the people of the "old
thirteen" first heard of the Declar-
alton and proceeded to make
noise like unto liberty. Philadel-
pbia was The first to receive the
news. though not the first to start
the fireworks that continued
throughout July until every colony
had been notified.
1t was on July g. l776, that the
Declaration was read to q large
number of the inhabitants of
Philadelphia and twas received
with general applause and heart

ing the coat of arms of the late
king was brought from the hall in
the statehouse and burnt.
The Declaration was received by
Washington at his headuarters in
New York on July 8. Immediately
the brigades were formed in
hollow squares on their respective
parades and the Declaration was
read to them. One of these
brigades was encamped on the
commons" where the New York
city hall now stands. The hollow
square was formed about the spot
where the park fountain stands.
Washington Was within the square
on horseback, and the Declaration
was read in clear voice by one Of
his aids. When it was conclu ded
three hearty cheers were given.
The same evening the equestrian
statue Of George ILL.,. which had
been set up in ITO, was pulled
down and, being mostly composed
Of lead, was subsequently made
into bullets for the colonial
army.
At Boston on the 18th there was
a big mill airy display and the
cannon roared from Fort Hill,
Dorchester Neck, the Castle,

followed by tie firing Of salutes

GREAT VALUE OF SODA LAKE

Eugene Griswold, of Oakland,
who formerly resided in Wadsworth
and who has owned store in the
old railroad town for years, was in
Fallon Thursday and Friday on
business connected with the clear
ing of the title of his Soda Lake
property north of town. Not only
does Mr.. Griswold own the lake,
but all the land surrounding it.
The lake is one of the natural
wonders Of this section, being a
mile in diameter and of great
depth. 1t carries in solution some
thing like 100000 stons of soda,
which under the old system Of
working returned clear profit of
$40 per ton, the average gross sale
figure being about $22. Lately
however, the introduction !, f the
government irrigation system in
this valley las brought the lake
level to height that no longer
allows of the operation of the vat
system on the lake shore, which
are about 100 feet below the level
of the desert. The only method
by which the lakes soda can be
reclaimed is by pumping the highly
impregnated water to refining watts
on the crest of the rim that SUR
rounds the body Of water, some
thing that Mr.. Griswold does not
care to do.
He has put in claim for
damages against the government
and seems to have a fair chance to
realize upon his claim, as soon as
he can clearly establish his title
to the property. This is one
reason why he has been exsrting
himself lately to clearly establi h
his ownership.
Up to rec mt times, Mr.. Griswofd
operated his plant at Soda Lake,
securing on an average of 500
tons of soda annually, which re-
turned him clear profit of $4,000,
an income that was cut off short
when the irrigation waters of this
project began to seep into the
lake.
Mr.. Griswold believes that the
lake will eventually prove to be
the objective point Of many pleasure
seekers, and the establishment of
a resort on its shores is one Of his
plans, which he hopes to consum
mate. The waters contain mo, e
solid matter than those Of the
Great Salt Lake and swimming in
them is very easy. On the banks
Of the lake are numerous cold
water springs. one furnishing an
almost unlimited supply of sulphur
water.
While in Fallon last week, Mr..
Griswold stated to this paper that
he would allow a boating club vii
necessary privileges for the full
enjoyment of this sport. and local
people who care for a days respite
from town and hot weather could
