The Union Pacific Coal Company, and others. The parade started from the Union Pacific Rail­ road’s freight depot at 9:30 a. m., moving on South Front Street, then over the “C” Street crossing onto Elk Street, Bridger Avenue, Pilot Butte Avenue. “K” Street, North Front Street, and back to the freight depot, where it disbanded. The parade was one of the largest and most colorful ever held in Rock Springs. It was led by a color guard com­ posed of ex-service men of Rock Springs, and by McAuliffe’s Kiltie Band. One of the outstanding floats in the parade was that of the American Legion's 40 and 8, depicting a huge golden spike, and pulled by the 40 and 8 locomotive, which won first prize. The second and third prize winners were those of the Improved Order of Redmen, Tribe No. 5, and Boy Scout Troop 99, respectively. by that peerless band leader Mr. James Sartoris. Mr. Sartoris lived up to his high reputation as a musical director, furnishing music while awaiting the arrival of the Gracie Allen Special. The Italian Legion Band and the Rock Springs High School Band also participated in the parade, together with many automobiles and people march­ ing. After the parade disbanded, the people moved en masse to the west of the Union Pacific passenger de­ pot to await the arrival of the Gracie Allen Spe­ cial where they were entertained by Mr. Sartoris’s band and the other bands, and the Kiltie Band also played some stirring airs. As the cry went up from the assembled crowd "Here she comes,’’ the train pulled in slowly, the Kiltie Band playing ‘‘The Earl of Mansfield,” Gracie making the remark that she noticed the Kilties were wearing their pants at half mast in sympathy with George.

Judge Taliaferro remarked that the Mayor was in Court and that the City Attorney was arranging bail, and he had been asked to make the presentation speech, which he did in a very happy vein. Gracie thereafter accepted the kangaroo, which was the handiwork of Elgin (Bud) Meacham. and was fashioned of the famous Rock Springs coal. A short talk was made by Gracie. who re­ marked she was thrilled to look into their wideopen faces. George Burns also made a few remarks. winding up with his usual mention of the benefits of Hind’s Honey and Almond Cream. The stop lasted about 15 minutes, and one of the largest crowds ever to assemble in Rock Springs met the train and was present during the program. The Kiltie Band joined the train, traveling in a special car which had been provided for their transportation. The train made a stop in Chey­ enne, Saturday night, where the Kiltie Band put on an exhibition in Frontier Park. Sunday they visited the Veterans’ Hospital in Cheyenne and gpent a couple of hours entertaining the patients. They paraded in Denver, Colorado, Monday morning at 11 o’clock, and a torch-light parade in North Platte, Nebraska, about 7 o’clock that evening. They arrived in 0maha.__AL4---p.m. Tuesday, May 14th. where they"piped Gracie into the station. Activities of the Kilties in Omaha on Wednesday were taken up with serenading at various orphan­ ages, hospitals and other institutions. Thursday morning the Kilties participated, with 19 other bands, in a military parade made up chiefly of infantry and mechanized units of United States army posts near Omaha. That afternoon the Kilties presented a program at Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Town and in the evening led the parade of the Omaha Whisker club. Participation in another parade occupied atten­ tion of the Kilties during the morning Friday and that evening they participated in Gracie’s Surprise Party Convention at the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum pre­ sented before an estimated crowd of more than 10,000 people. Inclement weather Saturday again forced can­ cellation of major portion of activities scheduled for the Kilties. During the day, however, they seren­ aded visitors and employes at the headquarters building of the Union Pacific railroad. En route to Rock Springs they presented a short concert Sunday night at the U. P. station in Chey­ enne. After the departure of the Gracie Allen Special, the celebration in Rock Springs continued all day, with various contests and a street dance on Elias Avenue in the afternoon, coming to a grand climax with the Golden Spike Day ball at the Playmore in the evening. June, 1940 On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress in session in Philadelphia adopted the following reso­ lution : 'Resolved — that the Flag of the United States be thirteen Stripes, alternate red and white: that the Union be thirteen Stars, in a Blue Field, representing a new Constellation? That Constellation, originally consisting of thir­ teen and at present forty-eight Stars in the Blue Field, has served as a peculiarly appropriate means of informing the people of all Nations of the sustained and continuous progress which has been made toward insuring the permanent secur­ ity and contentment of the American people.

Mr. Jeffers made his usual gracious re­ sponse to the speech of presentation, shaking hands with and complimenting each of the Kilties on their fine playing. The Spike, it will be recalled, was a prominent feature in the Golden Spike parade held at Rock Springs, Saturday, May 11th. “All the wild ideas of unbalanced agitators the world over in their ignorant and pitiable quest for happiness through revolution, confiscation of property, and crime cannot overthrow the eternal truth that the one route to happiness through prop­ erty or government is the broad and open highway of service.

DeMille, Miss Barbara Stanwyck, Mr. Joel McCrea, and the remaining members of the cast who produced the picture of the century, "UNION PACIFIC." �Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital 415 South 26th Street Omaha, Nebraska □ Telephone Webster 1900 �PRIVATE ROOM IN GENERAL HOSPITAL Note Venetian blinds, adjustable bed and movable table. �FORE _Lhe Board of Trustees of the Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital commends this book to you for the sole purpose of making known what a modern hospital has to offer to the physically and mentally sick. The science of medicine is forever push­ ing out and onward into new fields, to bring comfort, relief and permanent cure to the ills of mankind. Since life is ever becoming more complicated, the ills that attack life are ever becoming more complex. The hospitals them­ selves must offer to the patient every possi­ ble form of aid. We somehow think that our hospital is very modern in every field of med­ ical enterprise. The Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital has one of the most learned staffs of any hos­ pital of its size in this part of the country. To offer the best in nursing and medical skill has ever been uppermost in the minds of the trustees. To do this, we added in 1937 a new department to the already skillful and up-todate existing departments, and that is the department of psychiatry. It has long been the opinion of men competent to judge that the ills of the mind are on the increase. We commend this book to you, and we hope that you will make known to your friends and acquaintances what our hospital has to offer, expertly, in the way of medical care. CECELIA MEISTER, Superintendent �<b DRIVING OF "THE GOLDEN SPIKE" Promontory Point, Utah, May 10, 1869 �The Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital T -L t seems appropriate at a time when the citizens of Omaha and the whole west are celebrating the "Driving of the Golden Spike” and the first showing of the great moving picture "Union Pacific,” to make reference to another pioneer institution of Omaha, Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital. While the building of the first transcontinental railroad from Omaha to the state of California, (thus carrying out the plans of President Abraham Lincoln), differs in form and magnitude from the creation of Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, there is a sufficient similarity to justify comparison. Both institutions- were conceived, planned, constructed, and are carried on to render a service to humanity. The Union Pacific Railroad reached Promontory Point, Utah, in 1869, and on May 10, of that year the Golden Spike which united the line from the east with that from the west, was driven, and rail com­ munication across the continent became a reality. In that same year the first Omaha hospital had its hum­ ble beginning, and like the great Union Pacific it too has grown with the years. The first hospital in Omaha, the forerunner of the splendid institution of today, was built in 1869, on a lot owned by the city and located near the corner of Webster and Twenty-third Streets. The building was a small one, containing but six rooms. Opened for patients in March, 1870, under the name of the "Good Samaritan,” a committee of Christian women, repre­ senting nearly every church denomination in the city, personally assumed the care of the patients and the management of the hospital, serving as nurses, in­ spectors, and general providers, a few kindly physi­ cians rendering medical service without charge. Step by step the work went forward until it was eventually turned over to the Right Reverend Robert Harper Clarkson, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska, who succeeded in erecting the first permanent hospital in the city located at 1716 Dodge Street. This hospital was formally dedicated December 13, 1883. Larger and more commodious buildings were secured through the years, this con­ tinuing effort culminating in the purchase and re­ building of the present splendid edifice located at �HOSPITAL ATTACHES dressed for Golden Spike celebration �26th and Dewey Streets, which was formally opened for service on May 15, 1936. The present hospital, located near the Farnam Street car line, within convenient distance from the down town as well as the principal residence dis­ tricts, ranks in equipment with the more modern hos­ pitals in the west. With a staff of more than fifty of the city's lead­ ing physicians and surgeons and with seventy-five more high class professional men on its accepted list, medical and surgical service of the highest order is available to patients. Among some of the more con­ spicuous features of the hospital might be noted: Five operating rooms for surgical service. A thoroughly equipped Psychiatry Depart­ ment. A modern Fever Therapy Department. A fully equipped X-ray and Deep-X-rayTherapy Department. A modem pathological Department, directed by competent pathologists and a staff of technicians. Every room is equipped with Simmons hos­ pital beds, an innerspring mattress, over­ top table and individual equipment. A daily menu is provided, each adult patient selecting his or her choice of food. The hospital is equipped with two electric steam-driven generators, thus providing electric light and power, which, located wholly within the building, is not subject to failure by wind or sleet storms. A selfcontained laundry with a water softener plant insures an ample supply of fresh lin­ en at all times. We have referred to our splendid staff of physi­ cians and surgeons. Back of this first line is a corps of more than a hundred supervisors, trained technicians and nurses, men and women who have dedicated their lives to the service of the sick and afflicted. Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital is conducted under the auspices of the Church, its staff and those whom it serves includes Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish men and women. Bishop Clarkson Mem­ orial Hospital is dedicated to the service of God and humanity and is not a profit-making institution. When you come to Omaha April 26th to 29th, to do honor to the great railroad that was the forerunner of all transcontinental lines, and to celebrate the sev­ entieth anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike, or on any subsequent occasion, do not fail to visit Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, whose fore­ runner undertook the work of caring for the sick of Omaha the year the Golden Spike was driven. �FIRST PERMANENT HOSPITAL 1716 Dodge Street Dedicated December 13, 1883 �Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital 415 South 26th Street * Telephone Webster 1900 □ Omaha, Nebraska if One and one-half blocks south of the Farnam street 5 ‘ I car line.

Presented with a kangaroo made of Rock Springs coal and made wel­ come to the city by Police Judge A. iL. Taliaferro, Junior Old1 Timer President Ole Knudsen and General (Union Pacific Coal company Mana­ ger I. N. Bayless, Gracie said: “I like all miners and those over 21, too.” .Gracie’s campaign speech, though a trifle incoherent, left the bright­ ly-garbed crowd snickering in the pleasant spring weather. With an impish grin, Gracie re­ marked upon first seeing McAu­ liffe’s Kiltie band, who boarded the train to help Gracie with her cam­ paign, “Well, I see the Kiltie band is wearing its ipants at half-mast in honor of George Burns.” Gracie is conducting her campaign on the “Surprise Party” ticket for i president on the basis that there 'should1 be a woman in the1 White House, in fact Gracie feels that women have always been tho real rulers of the land but that the men get all the credit. “Why, take Martha Washington,” the irrepressible radio and screen comedian remarked, "she ran at can­ dy store while her husband was pres­ ident because she couldn’t fly to Seattle each week.” George Burns, stooge husband of the dizzy dame, when ifltroduced, thanked1 everyone for listening to 'Gracie. Truman Bradley, radio an­ nouncer on Gracie’s program, was also introduced and made a few brief remarks. Preceding the arrival of the spe­ cial, one of the finest parades ever presented in Rock Springs was view­ ed by a crowd which packed . the sidewalks all along the parade; route. Bands, floats and1 gaily-garbed in­ dividuals made the scene one of the ■brightest' ever presented In Ro.ck Springs as well as the noisest. Winners in the float and costume contests were the 40 and 8 floats, first prize of $50; Improved Order of Redmen, second prize of $25, and third prize, Boy Scout troop No. 99; Mrs. William Pecolar and Bill O’Far­ rell won first costume prizes of $5, with Mrs. George Cornford and' How­ ell Powell, the second prize $3 win­ ners; Elsie .Mae Crofts and Agnes 'Carter won the $3 and $2 chil­ dren’s prizes. Traffic congestion on the high­ way where the bicycle races were scheduled to be held made that part of the program impossible. The en­ trants spit the prize money and were disbanded. The prizes for the floats and cos­ tumes were awarded-at the street dance held later in the aftrnoon on Elias avnue just off Pilot Butte. The big Golden Spike ball held at’ the Playmoire that evening attracted a record-breaking crowd.

The special has. been chartered by the Omaha Golden Spike days com­ mittee for the express purpose of providing Gracie with the means of conducting a rear platform cam­ paign. There will be 32 stops from Los Angeles to Omaha, and Gracie and her consort, George Burns, dressed in Golden Slpike costumes, and accompanied by their entire jcompajny, will make personal ap­ pearances from the rear platform. Stops at the larger alties enroute will be of some hours' duration.

The Union Pacific Coal Company, and others. The parade started from the Union Pacific Rail­ road’s freight depot al 9:30 a. m.. moving on South Front Street, then over the “C” Street crossing onto Elk Street, Bridger Avenue, Pilot Butte Avenue, “K” Street. North Front Street, and back to the freight depot, where it disbanded. The parade was one of the largest and most colorful ever held in Rock Springs. It was led by a color guard com­ posed of ex-service men of Rock Springs, and by McAuliffe’s Kiltie Band. One of the outstanding floats in the parade was that of the American Legion’s 40 and 8. depicting a huge golden spike, and pulled by the 40 and 8 locomotive, which won first prize. The second and third prize winners were those of the Improved Order of Redmen, Tribe No. 5, and Boy Scout Troop 99, respectively. by that peerless band leader Mr. James Sartoris. Mr. Sartoris lived up to his high reputation as a musical director, furnishing music while awaiting the arrival of the Gracie Allen Special. The Italian Legion Band and the Rock Springs High School Band also participated in the parade, together with many automobiles and people march­ ing. After the parade disbanded, the people moved en masse to the west of the Union Pacific passenger de­ pot to await the arrival of the Gracie Allen Spe­ cial where they were entertained by Mr. Sartoris’s band and the other bands, and the Kiltie Band also played some stirring airs. As the cry went up from the assembled crowd "Here she comes.” the train pulled in slowly, the Kiltie Band playing "The Earl of Mansfield,” Gracie making the remark that she noticed the Kilties were wearing their pants at half mast in sympathy with George.

Bayless, boarded the train. Judge Taliaferro remarked that the Mayor was in Court and that the City Attorney was arranging bail, and he had been asked to make the presentation speech, which he did in a very happy vein. Gracie thereafter accepted the kangaroo, which was the handiwork of Elgin (Bud) Meacham, and was fashioned of the famous Rock Springs coal. A short talk was made by Gracie, who re­ marked she was thrilled to look into their wideopen faces. George Burns also made a few remarks, winding up with his usual mention of the benefits of Hind’s Honey and Almond Cream. The stop lasted about 15 minutes, and one of the largest crowds ever to assemble in Rock Springs met the train and w'as present during the program. The Kiltie Band joined the train, traveling in a special car which had been provided for their transportation. The train made a stop in Chey­ enne, Saturday night, where the Kiltie Band put on an exhibition in Frontier Park. Sunday they visited the Veterans’ Hospital in Cheyenne and spent a couple of hours entertaining the patients. They paraded in Denver. Colorado. Monday morning at 11 o’clock, and a torch-light parade in North Platte, Nebraska, about 7 o’clock that evening. They arrived in Omaha at 4 p. m. Tuesday, May 14th, where they piped Gracie into the station. Activities of the Kilties in Omaha on Wednesday were taken up with serenading at various orphan­ ages, hospitals and other institutions. Thursday morning the Kilties participated, with 19 other bands, in a military parade made up chiefly of infantry and mechanized units of United States army posts near Omaha. That afternoon the Kilties presented a program at Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Town and in the evening led the parade of the Omaha Whisker club. Participation in another parade occupied atten­ tion of the Kilties during the morning Friday and that evening they participated in Gracie’s Surprise Party Convention at the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum pre­ sented before an estimated crowd of more than 10,000 people. Inclement weather Saturday again forced can­ cellation of major portion of activities scheduled for the Kilties. During the day, however, they seren­ aded visitors and employes at the headquarters building of the Union Pacific railroad. En route to Rock Springs they presented a short concert Sunday night at the U. P. station in Chey­ enne. After the departure of the Gracie Allen Special, the celebration in Rock Springs continued all day, with various contests and a street dance on Elias Avenue in the afternoon, coming to a grand climax with the Golden Spike Day ball at the Playmore in the evening. On June 14, 1777. the Continental Congress in session in Philadelphia adopted the following reso­ lution : ‘Resolved — that the Flag of the United Stales be thirteen Stripes, alternate red and white: that the Union be thirteen Stars, in a Blue Field, representing a new Constellation.’ That Constellation, originally consisting of thir­ teen and at present forty-eight Stars in the Blue Field, has served as a peculiarly appropriate means of informing the people of all Nations of the sustained and continuous progress which has been made toward insuring the permanent secur­ ity and contentment of the American people. The Fourth of July is the most appropriate day for the Nation and its people to give adequate ex­ pression in their homes and in public to their tra­ ditionally deep patriotism and their enduring al­ legiance to the Stars and Stripes.
