Y0RK'S CELEBRATION
WAS GRAND SUCCESS

Literally ending in a blaze of
glory with the most brilliant dis
play of fireworks seen in York
in the history of the town or
county, York's great home
coming and chautauqua was
brought to a close Friday night,
says a correspondent of The
State. 1t is estimated that be-
tween 5000 and 5000 persons
saw the grand finale in the
fireworks at the graded school
grounds Friday night. Visitors
from every section of the State
were present and some of the
native York folk were visiting
the "old home place" for the
first time in a quarter of a
century.
The absence Of some expected
speakers caused disappointment
but those on hand came up to
the fullest expectations. Un-
favorable weather Friday kept
many away but those who
braved the dampness were am
ply rewarded for the effort.
Friday the address of well
come was delivered by Mayor
j. G. Wilborn while Col. Asbury
Coward spoke for the visitors.
Gov. Richard l. Manning. Con-
gressman A. F. Lever, DR..
Henry Nelson Snyder, Col. E. j.
Watson and d. w. Daniel were
other speakers who attracted
large crowds Wednesday and
Thursday.
The chatauqua attractions were
of the highest standard and the
venture is not expected to prove
a disappointment financially. In
any event York as a whole is
well pleased for the White Rose
city has been advertised as
never before and the town has
enlisted several thousand ad-
ditional boosters. Those already
in line will be more enthusiastic
after having been inspired by
the wonderful success of York's
home coming.
The generosity Of Maj. w. B.
Moore made the fireworks pos
sible. Maj. Moore donated this
feature to the other successes of
the week.

the Present Situation

mended, and the sale of bonds oppos-
ed.
This message was the longest Mr..
Wilson has ever delivered to Con
gress. He began with a statemant
that since he last addressed Congress:
The European war has extended
its threatening and sinister scope un-
til il has swept into its fame some
portion of every quarter Of the globe,
not excepting our own hemisphere,
has altered the whole face of interna-
tional affairs, and now presents a
prospect of reorganization and recon
struction such as statesmen and peo-
pies have never been called upon ta9
attempt before"
The United States has remained
neutral, he said, because 1t had no
interest in the causes and because 1t
was the duty Of the nations or the
western hemisphere TO prevent col
lectiye economic ruin.
The president pointed to the atti-
tude OF the United States towards
Mexico as proving that this country
has no selfish motives in It's inter
est in countries in Central and South
America. There was a time, he said
when the United States looked upon
itself as sort of guardian OF the
republics to the south as against the
encroachment or efforts of political
control from Europe.
But he added. sit was always
difficult to maintain such role with
out offense to the pride of the peo
pies whose freedom Of action we
sought to protect, and every thought
full man of affairs must welcome the
| altered circumstances of the new day

have been offered $4,000 for 90
day option on the ground but want
100000. They are pushing develop
ment work and expect to see large
rush into the district when the extent
of the orebody is uncovered.
"The tungsten properties at Soda
vile are attracting great deal OF
attention and about SO men are now
employed in the mine and hauling
the ore to the railroad. G. E. Nobel
discoverer of the mine, sold his In
terests to the Atkins-Kroll company
of San Francisco. They are EN-
poying two 10-horse teams transport
ing the ore to Sodaville and are pre-
pairing to remodel mill at Lunine
to handle the output of the mine.
"The copper properties near Lun
ing are assuming large proportions
Over 5000 tons of copper ore has
been shipped from New York canyor
in the past eight months, and with the
expected advance to 20 cents the pro
duct will be greatly increased. This
ore will run about per cent copper
and about half the output of the dis
trict has been taken from the May
flower mine Fifty horses are EN-
ployed in hauling the ore from th'
