 THE RAIN
All Events Scheduled on Days Program Pulled Off; Parade Is Short
 but Is Adequate.
SOLDIERS IN PARADE

It sprinkled.
 Then it raIned.
 Then it poured.
 On the Fourth of July in Juneau but notwithstanding the merry pat te: of water every event scheduled on the days program was pulled off to the interest of hundreds.
 The streets were gaily decorated, show windows, some of them, con tailed appropriate decorations, and flags flew from all masts, several Union Jacks being displayed along side of Old Glory Several hundred visitors were in the city and when the day and night had passed away it was the general opinion that it wasn't such a bad Fourth after all
 Besides the spectacular display of rain there was another thing that was noticeable yesterday, especially dur ing the parade. Young America was in his or her glory. Young America was on the streets in their best bib and tucker and Young America braved the elements and outclassed the adults in the parade. Pretty girls stood bareshouldered and in bare arms on the floats and enjoyed it. The Fourth was Young Americas s day and they took advantage of it.
 And it rained.
 Those taking part in the parade began assembling at the city dock shortly after 30 o'clock and the parade moved soon after II o'clock up Franklin Street to Fourth Ave nue, across to Main, down that thor oughfare to Front then back to the City Dock where it disbanded.
 And it rained
 Major P. w. Davison, w. w. Casey and J. c. Hayes, mounted, were the marshals of the day and they lead he parade, Then came the Capital City Band of P pieces enlivening the rain drops, those in the parade md hundreds along the streets with inspiring martial music
 Following the band, and lending a military as well as a pronounced pa triotic spirit to the occasion were B of the soldiers from Fort Wm. H. Seward. These boys marched before or after the special float of the c. w. Young Co.,, which was a large liberty bell constructed of wild flow CTS and moss and was a thing of beauty.
 And still it rained
 Following the Liberty Bell float came the c. A. R., city officials and others in autos, The Junior League Red Cross, with their stretchers, etc, came next and their youthful ap- pearance brought forth much applause along the line of march. Following the Juniors was the Red Cross auto, driven by Dr. Mooney and containing nurses and several members of the First Aid of the local Chapter
