Mat Fourth of July should be celebrated, will be of interest with the coming spectacular celebration of Independence day in Salina: Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America, and a greater perhaps never was nor will be decided among men. The Fourth of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding gejnerationg as a great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, bells, bonfires and illuminations, few citizens whohe positions are Nearly every town from one end of this continent similar to that of the man shown- - above, hopelessly trying to run to the other from this time forward evermore. things his way.

Despite the fact that the Rio Grande is a mountain road with heavy grades and costly maintenance, the new rates compare favorably with those prevailing on eastern roads with lesser grades and curvature and serving more densely populated sections. The new rates will be but a trifle higher than those in effect in days and are made possible tl lough the economies resulting from an exten- operation r sive improvement campaign carried on by the Denver & Rio Grande Western during the past two or three years. The reduction should stimulate rail travel in the various sections served by the Rio Grande system. - Unique Experiments With Poisonous Stock Plants The May issue of The Producer,!
