THE JULY CELEBRATION.
The Executive Committee Intent on Max
ing it a Success.

The Executive Committee Intent on Max
ing it a Success.
The executive committee for the
Fourth of July celebration have been
working vigorously for the success of
the event. The report that hremen's
tournament could not be secured, at first
led some to believe that the celebration
would not be held and much dissatis-
faction was expressed thereat, but the
executive committee states that the
original purpose of the event was a
Fourth of July celebration and as such,
they intend to see it through. The peo-
pie of this and neighboring towns are
anxious for the celebration and nothing
can now deter them from their original
purpose.
1t is understood that number of
miners teams have already begun to
practice for the miners drilling contest
and interest is being aroused throughout
the county. 1t has been suggested that
since it is to commemorate the nations
birthday it would be appropriate to ex'
pend some of the funds for the purchase
of fireworks, and have a regular old
fashioned time OF it.
| The base ball committe reports
progress and expects to secure the pres
ence of the Louisville and Fort Collin:
teams in a match game here on the 5tt
and this event alone will be sufficient tc
attract the interest of the neighborine
towns.
The committee meets this evening te
finally decide the matter of the program

feel that excellent work was done at
Chicago and regard the party as having
excellent prospects of becoming form

ator Cannon says there is no intention
whatever OF separating from the other
parties to last years silver alliance.
Instead" he added 1--WE hope to be of
great assistance to the Democratic and
