Fad Set by King Edward.

Probably few people are aware that
the popularity of the copper and alum.
mum bracelet worn by SO many ladies
at the present time is really due to
the fact that the late King Edward re,
garded as his mascot a similar brace
let, which was presented to him by
one Of his friends shortly before the
serious illness which resulted in the
postponement Of his coronation. His
late majesty, who was more than usu-
ally superstitious. regarded the brace
let as having a direct bearing on his
ultimate recovery. and when he died
1t was placed among the personal be-
longings which he bequeathed tn
King George.

To do SO the cellar wall is carried

NATIONAL PARK DEDICATED.
All Nation Takes Part In Exercises
at Conservation Of Mountains for
Benefit of All Mankind.

Estes Park, Colo. - The Rocky
Mountain National park was dedi-
Gated to the people of all the world
for all time Sept. 4. Leaders in the
life Of the nation, the state of Colora-
do and the city Of Denver stood with
barred heads in the fine drizzle of a
picturesque mountain shower as the
opening exercises were observed
which proclaimed this vast natural
scenic wonderland open to all.
And as Enos A. Mills, pathfinder,
naturalist and father of the move
ment to keep the land of Colorado
magic inviolate for generations to
come had told his part in the great
work in modest manner, the clouds
gathered over the distant peaks. A
roll of thunder was heard and the
rain came upon the gathering.
s. T. Mather, assistant to Secre-
tary of the Interior Franklin X. Lane,
then told his plans for the future Of
the park in clear-cut manner that be-
fitted the business man. AS he spoke

spray.
Then Gov. George A. Carlson as
cended the impromptu rostrum be-
meath swaying pine tree and as he
spoke to the gathering the clouds be-
came denser and the shower in
creased in violence as the mountain
tops that hedged Horseshoe park,
where the ceremony was held, disap-
peared from view.
But in a moment, and just as Gov
ernor Carlson concluded and before
the applause had died away, the
clouds parted as If by the action of
some mighty, unseen hand, and the
sun of Colorado broke forth in rain
tinged splendor from across the new
ly laid snow on Longs peak and made
a new fairyland Of the dazzling land

Saturday was day that will mark
milestone in the history of Colora-

fulfillment and beneath the Horse
shoe park pine tree stood men who
had given all their efforts and energy
to prevail upon the United States to
set aside this great territory adjacent
to Estes Park that its beauty might

zation board After the state board

county its pro rata of such assess
ments. based upon the value of the

in each respective county.
Until the state board completes this
work, in SO far as Grady county is
concerned, the county excise board is
powerless to complete the tax levies.
This delay on the part of the state
board is also delaying the county as

can differences for the remainder OF
the war was begun in Berlin this
morning following the receipt OF a
communication from Bernstorff.
II Is understood that the letter con-
tains information collected by the
state department relative to the
Arabic case. which is now being CON
sidered by Chancellor Won Bethmann
Holweg. Foreign Secretary Won Jagon
and Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz. Bus
mess men and leaders OF affairs in
every department Of the government
are to be asked for views on the sit
uation before the German answer is
sent back to Washington.
Little direct intimation has been
given out as to what the Bernstorff let
ter contains, but these rumors are be-
ing heard most frequently.
The first is that America is seek
ing assurances from Germany that all
disputes will be submitted to The
Hague for arbitration. The second
rumor that is going the rounds is that
America is demanding direct assur-
ances. without delay, from the kaiser
that submarines will not attack pas
senger boats. The third demand of
the American republic which rumor
says is contained in the Bernstorff
letter is for assurances from Germany
that that country viii never make
war on the United States and under
no circumstances will question the
Monroe doctrine.
II is the popular hope and belief at
the capital that negotiations will end
in manner satisfactory to both gov
ernments and peoples.

county it was found by the board that
in all instances the estimates had been
heavily increased over those of last
year-in some cases almost doubled.
The cause of this lies mostly in an
earnest effort upon the part of the
people of all sections OF the county to
build and maintain better roads. Also,
the heavy rains of the past spring
have washed and torn the roads up
and demolished culverts to such an
extent that great deal of money
will be required to again put the roads
in good condition.
