An advance guard of the Everett del
egation which will visit st. Paul during
the Hill demonstration reached the city
yesterday. The party consisted of Sam
H. Nichols and j. 2. Murphy. In sew
eral days Mayor Dwyer and other mem
bers of the committee will come OH east.
The new town of Everett is making
great preparations for the celebration,
and will be represented in creditable
manner.
Our people are deeply interested in
the Hill celebration, and we will have a
large delegation present on that occa-
son," said Mr.. Nichols yesterday. 1--WE
have not quite perfected our arrange
ments, but we will have several floats,
showing what Everett has done in a
year and a half. 1t will be purely a
local exhibit, and we will not attempt to
represent the industries of the state.
We have industries of orr own which
we wish TO represent"
MIR. Murphy, speaking of Everett's in
duStrieS. referred to her great paper
mills and nail works. These will be
among the industries represented.
Everett and other outside towns are be-
ginning to realize that the time for max
ing preparation IS short, and that no
time can now be lost. The West
ern delegation from Everett will at
once make all the necessary
arrangements for the acceptance
of their floats. The home people are
working hard, but there are many firms
preparing floats which have not yet no.
tilted the committee of that fact, or OF
the general design of the floats. The
committee must know by Wednesday
just how many concerns intend TO be
represented in the parade, so as to issue
permits and assign them places in the
line. A circular letter will be issued
this week to all parties having floats.
giving instructions for the day OF the
parade. Time and place for forming III
line will be announced. The letter
will be accompanied by a permit. which
will entitle the owner of the float to q
sary, therefore, that the committee OH
parade should know at once who are
building floats. This information should
be sent at once to Secretary j. III. Beck,
jobbers' union.
The different railroads centering in
st. Paul are taking great interest in the
celebration. All the city and general
offices will be decorated, and it is an
nouneed that the Milwaukee and Omaha
roads will have large floats in the
parade. The Northern Pacific is build
ing an artistic arch at the corner of
Third and jackson streets. which will
cost that road many hundreds of dollars.
In parade of this magnitude it is
quite important that there should be
good supply of bands, and the parade
committee has not overlooked this fact.
A great number has already been Sc
cured in st. Paul and Minneapolis, and
the committee has gone outside for
others. The Shattuck band willaccom-
pany the cadets from that institution.
The Brainerd and ST. Cloud bands have
also been engaged. There will be a
large representation from these two last
towns.
The elaborate decorations in the Au>
ditorum will be finished early this
week. Some 1900 yards of colored
bunting are being useu in these decora-
. lions, tWenty-one different colors being
used by the decorators. The dome is
of corn color and white and IS studded
with colored electric lights. The col
umnS are of poppy red, and the back
ones of light blue. The balcony

rated i'll strong colors. The exterior of
the building will be covered with Great
Northern flags.
The reception in honor of Mr.. Hill
will be given here the evening of June
s, and on the 18th and 9th there will be
given concerts for the entertainment of
visitors. There is good demand for
the Great Northern flags, which are of a
special design. The street railway com.
pany has already secured many hun
dred sof them for the decoration of the
cars and the poles supporting the trolley
wires. The street cars will be elabo-
rately draped in bunting. Arrangements
should now be made for the decoration
of buildings. Prizes will be given for
the best decorations. These decorations
will not be confined to the parade route,
out should be general throughout the
