ander, who are among the earliest
settlers of the Lewiston country still
living here. The Nezperce band
was next and was followed by emf
grant wagons, and a float showing
faithful representation of the first
capitol, still in existence in Lewis
ton. This closed the pageant, which
may be said to have been the impell-
ing cause for the parade, and which
was certainly the great feature of
the day.
The Palouse Concert band headed
the industrial section of the parade,
consisting of a number of floats, in
Guiding pioneer animals and then
series of exhibits of livestock
which were Of usually fine character,
and with floats showing timber.
horticulture and Horticulture.
The Kamiah Indian band, of 29
pieces, under the leadership of Pro-
fessor Morris, led the section of the
parade devoted to distinguished
guests of the city. These guests
were all in automobiles and included
Governors Alexander of Idaho,
.Withycombe of Oregon and Lister
of Washington; Senators Borah and
Brady Of Idaho, Lane of Oregon and
Poindexter and Jones of Washing
ton; Congressman Humphrey of
Washington; Ex-Governor Miles of
Moore of Washington; w. P. Winans
of Walla Walla, a pioneer of the
Colville section; Hon. J. N. Teal of
Portland; Captain W. P. Gray,
admiral Of the river fleet; CAPTAIN
| E. w. Baughman; Hon. H. L. Pittock
proprietor of the Oregonian; Mayor
Jay ]. Morrow, of the United States
engineers, and a number of other
notables.
The band followed, leading the
marching of the high school children
of the city, and the float presenting
the training work done by the Lewis
ton Normal. This portion of the
parade was probably as much admir-
ed and appreciated as any. Asotin
county came next, headed by the
Asotin County band, and this was
followed by the Charleston band and
the Charleston exhibit, one of the
most carefully worked-out portions
of the parade.
The last two sections of the
parade was composed of visiting
committees, number being repre-
sented. Union-town came with more
than twenty automobiles in parade;
followed by Kendrick, Nez Perce,
Grangeville and other communities,
and followed by long line of auto
mobiles, probably two or three
hundred in number.
Everyone voted that the parade
was a great success. The chairman
of the parade committee, R. S. Lor-
ing, and the remaining members of
the committee deserve great credit
for the perfection of arrangements
attained.
A feature of the day that delight
ed many hundreds of people was
provided by the celebration commit
tees, through arrangements with
the Columbia & Willamette Trans
portation company, whereby the
steamer Teal was made available for
short excursion runs. The Teal
made one trip to the upper river
and another to the lower river,
carrying capacity crowds, on each
run. On the initial trip, the Kamiah
band accompanied the crowd and
provided an interesting program.
The sad accident resulting in the
death of Roy V. Hutchinson caused
the elimination of music on the
second trip of the boat it having
been planned that the Calet band
should accompany the excursionists.

YOUNG man DROWNED
IN COLD SNAKE RIVER

BY Gazette Reporter.-R. ".
Hutchison, aged % years, son of a
prominent family of Endicott, Wash.
sophmore in the engineering class
at the Washington State College,
Pullman, and a member of the band.
was accidently drowned in the cold
and swift running waters of the
Snake river Monday afternoon short
ly after three o'clock by breaking
through the thin planking of the
wheel house Of the Steamer ]. N.
Teal, and plunging to his watery
grave through the wheel which was
slowly revolving.
The accident cast shadow of gloom
over the hundreds of excursionists
gathered at the dock to board the
Teal for the second excursion of the
afternoon, and resulted in hundreds
turning away, made sick at heart
over the only happening that served
to mar the pleasures of the celera-
tion.
Stories told by many who claim
to have witnessed the accident vary,
but that related by Paul Du Pertuis,
attending the college, and who was
present at the side of young Hutchin-
son at the time he fell to his death,
gives more connected account of
the happening than any other.
The witness to the heart-rending
tragedy was almost beside himself
with grief as he told his version of
his colleagues untimely ending.
Du Pertius said that it was about
$3.50 o'clock when himself and about
a score of other members of the
cadet band, boarded the steamer at
the invitation of committee, this
pleasure trip being offered the boys
in recognition of their proficient
services, and to help make their one
days stay more enjoyable. Accord
ing to the witness, the unfortunate
young man with four or five others
OF his school, stepped from the
promenade deck Of the vessel to the
wheel covering to ascend a ladder
leading from the wheel house to the
hurricane deck of the boat.
According to Du Purtius, himself
and Hutchison stepped aside to
permit a women to go to the top
deck first, and with their weight,
and that of the several others gather
ed about waiting their turn to ascend
the thin planking serving as shelter
for the stern wheel gave way. The
witness said that with the noise
arising, giving warning of the dam
ger, he turned to quickly lend aid
to women standing nearby, pulling
her back to place of safety. The
others standing on the shelter scam
pered their way to the deck of the
vessel, but by the time Hutchison
was trying to manage to land to a
place of safety he plunged through
the opening in the wheel roof and
fell on the paddles of the wheel,
the slow momentum serving to dis
lodge his hold, and cause it to drop
to the opening through which the
axel extends, and then to the water.

LARGEST WARSHIP
 AFLOAT LAUNCHED
RDREAONoUGhT TAKES TO WATER-PRAY SHE MAY BE
 MESSENGER OF PEACE.

Newport News.-The United States dreadnought Pennsylvania, the largest engine of naval warfare in the world, was launched successfully with a prayer that she might prove mes Senger of peace rather than a weapon of destruction.
 Christened by Miss Elizabeth Kolb of Germantown, Pa, as Secretary of the Navy Daniels gave the signal for the launching, the 15,000 ton hulk slid steadily from the ways into the James river. The swell in the river which struck the water, tossed the ship nation now at war, the German con- verted cruiser Prinz Eitel Friederich, | docked less than 100 yards away
 One of the notable incidents of the occasion was the presence in the launching grandstand of Capt. Max Thierichens, commander of the Ger man sea raider. which but few weeks ago had sunk an American merchant vessel ill the South Atlantic ocean and had put into an American port of refuge to escape destruction at the hands of her enemies. The German commander. in full uniform, arrived on the launching platform early ana mingled joviallv with American naval officers throughout the ceremony.
 In the launching stand beside the sponsor of the ship, who successfully
 
 were Governor Brumbaugh and stan of Pennsylvania and Secretary Daniels and staff.
 Whistles from scores of vessels in the river created a din as the Penn sylvania tioated out from the ways. and it later was learned that the whis- tie of the Prinz Eitel Friederich had joined in the welcome of the new ship py order of Commander Thierichens.

AUSTRIANS ARE IN ROME

Rome.-Unofflcial negotiations to de- termine whether territorial conces- sions should be made by Austria to Italy before or after the end of the war are in progress, 1t is asserted here, between Count Volpi, who con- ducted similar negotiations in bring ing about peace between Italy and Turkey in 1912, and Kajetan Mercy von KaposMere, former Austrian ambassador at Rome. Having failed to reach an agreement at Vienna, they have come to Rome to continue their discussion.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
 STILL SUCCESSFUL
REFUSED AND MANY PRlS- OVERS TAKEN.

London.--The Russians are even more active than their Western allies. The German offensive against Przas. nysz having failed to materialize, prob ably owing to the thaw, the Russians have undertaken the offensive, and, according to their own account, are advancing successfully along both banks of the Orzyc river and have oc- cupied the village of Stegna, which is on one of the main roads leading to PrzasnysZ from the northeast. At this point they repulsed determined counter-attack.
 The Germans, however, say that the Russian attacks have been repelled and that they captured 1000 Russians.
 Along the ridge of the Carpathians and in eastern Galicia, the Russians report series of successes against the Austro-German armies, which, de- spite the deep snow, have kept up al most continuously attacks in the Boli- grod region and in some of the cen tral passes in the hope of relieving Prsemysl. The Russians are closing around the fortress, and their infan- trymen are within rife shot of the northern forts.
 From unofficial sources it is learned that the Russians have resumed the offensive in Bukowina and battle is now in progress near the Bukowina frontier along the Sanislau-Kolomea railway.
 In the Caucasus, too, the Russians are again on the move and according to all accounts from Perograd are pushing the Turks back along the coast of the Black sea and are threat ening the safety of the Turkish army at Olti, on the Russo-Turkish border.

 Further than this statement officials in all quarters preserved strictest si. fence, regarding the situation as one Of delicacy.

Cattle Disease in Europe.

That the dread cattle malady the foot-and-mouth disease" has gained firm foothold in the European war zone as we'll as in this country is now a demonstrated fact. The Germans attempted unsuccessfully to stamp out the disease by means of the American method of wholesale slaughter
 What the continuance of this pestil- ence will mean to the warning nations, already stinted in the matter of ra. tions, may be imagined. In France, Germany, Russia and Belgium. and also in Italy and Switzerland, the dis ease has gained such a foothold that 1t is economically impossible to fight it by the American method
 It appears that the disease has been growing in virulence, since it made it's first appearance. Mortality among cattle ranges from three per cent where the epidemic is mild to forty per cent where the outbreak is un- usually violent
