THE MISSISSIPPI
St. Louis People Have the Big Time
I —Hold Large Pageant and Show
Ancient Scenea.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.—Thousands of
persons gathered today In the nat
ural amphitheatre in Forest Park and
witnessed the portrayal of the pic
turesque history of the city of St.
Louis by seven thousand St. LousianB
n what is said to be teh largest pa
geant ever produced. The pageant
and mask will be staged every day
for the remainder of the week in or
der that all St. Louisans and the
thousands of out-of-town visitors may
see it.
Time and money was not spared in
making it the most pretentious pre
sentation of its kind ever attempted
in this country. Percy MacKay and
Thomas Woods Stevens, pageant
masters, have devoted more than six
months to the mammoth production.
For the first time in years, the city
became interested in its own history,
and a movement was started to in
troduce a study of historic St. Louis
in the schools.
The opening scene represents the
site of St. Louis as seen from the
Illinois shore with the water between
the audience and the stage on which
mound builders are constructing a
mound. They are interrupted by the
arrival of hunters who display buffalo
skins and call the men to the hunt
ing. Despite the pleas of the priests
the men left the mound unfinished
and join the hunt, the women fol
lowing. Next appear the Indians,
who set up their own wigwams. Hu
mors of war stir the village and the
corn dance changes to a war dance.
The village is attacked and after be
ing successfully defended the pipe
of peace is smoked. In the distance
appears the cavalcade of De Soto and
his gold seekers of Spain of the 16th
century. They set up a cross on the
mount and return from whence they
came while the Indian life continues
undisturbed. Then Joliet and Pere
Marquette pass down the river in
their canoes, marking the coming of
the French.
Laclede and his stepson, Augustus
Chouteau, at the beginning of the
second movement of the pageant ar
rive. Laclede plans the town and
Chouteau builds the first house with
the aid of his men and Indian squaws.
Then follows the coming of the set
tlers and the troops under St. Ange
and a town begins to grow. Gover
nor Piernas comes with the Spanish
troops and flag establishing the
Spanish regime. An Indian and Brit
ish attack is successfully resisted.
Singing of French revolutionary songs
in the streets by the "Sans Culottes”
Is the next episode, reflecting the
struggle in France. The second
movement ends with the transfer of
the Louisiana Purchase, the day of
three flags. The Spanish governor
proclaims the rule of Spain at an
end. Major Stoddard takes over the
post for France, and then proclaims
the purchase, hoisting the American
flag. Then in the coming twilight id
shown the arrival of the pioneers,
Lewis and Clarke, and Daniel Boone,
followed by the coming of the first
steamboat, the General Pike. The dark
years of the civil war are echoed, the
pageant closing with he news ot
peace.

VALDEZ ELECTRIC
GETS COKT
To Light City Streets at Rate of
Two Cents Kilowatt Hour—Want
New Bids Cement Walk.
The city eouuncil last night let the
contract to furnish lights for the
streets to the Valdez Electric Com
pany at a rate of two cents a kilowatt
hour. The council has had the mat
te runder adsement since calling for
bids early last month and three coun
cilman voted for and three against
granting the contract to either the
Valdez or the Alaska Water, Light and
Telephone Company. At the meeting
last night Acting Mayor Lyons added
his vote to those of Martin, Thomas
and King and the Valdez Electric
company secured the contract.
The matter of letting the contract
for the building of a cement side
walk on McKinley street was con
sidered and new bids were ordered
called for, as the old bid Is considered
excessive, Cashier Eckern, of the
Valdez Ban & Trust Company insist
ing that $5.75 a front foot was more
than was necessary for the work and
that it could be done for less by day
labor.
New, bids will be received up to
Saturday night at 7 o’clock by the
street committee.
City Attorney Gahty has notified
each member of the city council that
the council cannot legally let a con
tract to any company if one member
of the present council is a stockhold
er in the company which receives
the work. Under the ruling of the
city attorney the present council can
not let the city work to the Valdez
Electric company as Mayor Ritchie
is a stockholder in the Valdez Elec
tric company although he did not
vote upon the question, having been
out of town.
It is also reported that a tax pay
ers suit will be started to prevent
the payment of the increased wages
to the city clek and treasurer as it
is alleged that the city has entered
into a contract with both the officials
at $35.00 for one year.
