The city was en- fete and the street
decorations and lighting effects were
almost beyond description in their
elaborateness and beauty. Everywhere
were to be seen symbols o. the Cru
sades OF the Middle Ages. OF which the
order of the knights Tempiar Is an
outgrowth. In spite OF the great
crowds which filled her streets and

took bunch of men up to the top Of
the Royal Gorge one day last week
and made some needed repairs to the
road through the City park there and
the highway is now in fine condition
from Soda point to the rim of the

been put into first class shape under
the direction OF Mr.. Parker and will
be found better than ever for car
riages. automobiles and other vehicles.
All OF the wooden culverts on the road

been taken out during the last few
weeks and vitrifed drainage pipes
substituted for them in order to min
