PROGRAMME OF THE PROPOSED
PROCEEDINGS.

The people are alive to the import
ance Of the demonstration to take
place tomorrow, and the city is TAX
ing on its holiday attire. Those who
were lukewarm have awoke to new
life and are exhibiting an activity
that is praiseworthy. Preparations
are being hurried along, and we feel
satisfied that Spokane Falls will not
be behind other towns celebrating
the open ng of the road. The Amer
lean eXcursionists will arrive to-mor-
row morning and spend the day iu
this city. At II o'clock p. NJ. Presi-
dent Willard and his party of for
eign guests will pass through the
city, stopping only few minutes,
when the entire party will continue
on the way to Portland. The general
committee has held several meetings
this week, appointing committees
and reviewing the work to be aC-
complished. The street decorations
are being attended too, and other
necessary arrangements are in the
hands Of those who will not fail to
do their duty. BY the exertions of
Marshal f. b. Hyde the arch work,
the building of the stage in the mill,
and securing seats from the various
churches has been seen to. Mayor
Glover has appealed to the ladies to
aid in decorating the room, and that
feature will be an attractive one.
DIR. c. S. Penfield has organized a
Glce Club, while Councilman Deuber
has succeeded in securing the Ger
man Society known as the Verein
COncOrdia. The streets have been
relieved Of considerable of the rub
bish and will be sprinkled to-day.
The Cornet Band will aid in the mu-
sical line, while everybody will add
their presence to the gathering.
