FresdOm Will Do on July4.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC CITIZENS BLOWOUT
mckiniey,s Nomination Observed TO
his own Satisfaction - Com mis-
sion Appointed 10 Negotiate for
Yakima Reservations Lands.

Arrangements are progressing satisfsc-
torily for the Fourth of July celebration.
On account OF the hard times, the COM
mittee is limited somewhat as to ex-
penses, but they are making their money
go as far as it will. 1t will be good
deal on the order of the old-fashioned
celebrations, when display Of patriotism
did not necessarily mean the expenditure
of great amount of money. The eagle
will scream just as loud as ever; the
rounded as during flush times; the races
will be ne good as when the purses were
larger; there will be even more represent
atives OF the states of the Union on the
Liberty car than before, and. in fact, for
