In conformity with the suggestion Of
THE HERALD the arrangements for big
celebration on the Fourth of July are
well under way. THE matter was taken
up by the fire department at a meeting
on Tuesday evening and an interesting
and enthusiastic discussion followed.
Messrs. George Vance, Stanley Coffin and
Fred Chandler were appointed COM
their work that over $3.50 were raised on
the following day, with only a portion of
the town canvassed. 1t is proposed to
offer purse Of 800 for hose team races,
but some difference of opinion seems to
have arisen AS to where the money shall
come from, many, including firemen,
maintaining that the department should
make this appropriation from its idle
funds, especially as the net receipts from
the ball to be given on the night of the
Fourth are to go into the treasury. This,
however, will unquestionably be settled
in good spirit and to the satisfaction of ALL
DR.. Hill. +. Chandler and Dave Gull
land were named to select hose team
and to extend invitations to Roslyn, FL
lensburg and other towns hereabonts. II
is proposed to raise $500 and this, it is
calculated, will be ample for the expenses
OF good old fashioned celebration. The
band will be engaged for the entire day
and there will be q procession, races of
all kinds, ball game, basket picnic, llum-
ination, dance and all those other fea-
lures which 90 to make up a day of les.
tivity and enjoyment. An invitation is
extended thus early to the people of all
sections of Yakima and the surrounding
country in the hopes that no arrange
ments will be made for minor celebrations
to detract from the big show. Yakima
proposes to observe the country's natal
day in "bang. up" fashion and she wants
to see several thousand of her neighbors
here on that occasion. Good entertain.
ment and fair treatment will be accorded,
and those who celebrate with us on that
event will lave cause for self congrat-

department will hold another meeting
Friday evening for the purpose Of further
ing and perfecting the plans.
