JUBILEE COMMISSION.
MEETS WITH A COMMITTEE OF
THE CAMBRIAN ASSOCIATION.
May Hold the Eisteddfod at the
Same Time as the Jubilee-No
Minimizing of Royalty Will go in
This Celebration-The Handsom-
est Woman in the State.

The pioneer jubilee commission hello
quite a lengthy session last evening
and discussed a number of the more
important business matters connected
with the celebration.
Messrs. Elias Morris, w. H. Will
Jams and D. L. Davis, a committee OF
the Cambrian society, met with the
commission for the purpose of agree
ing upon a plan by which the annual
eisteddfod of the Cambrian association
might be given some time during the
five days of the pioneer celebration
and be made a feature of one day and
two evenings. Elias Morris said the
last eisteddfod had cost the associa-
ton $4,000 and had left profit OF
about $1,000. Mr.. Morris suggested
that the jubilee commission assume all
the expenses of the coming eisteddfod
and receive half the net profits accru-
ing therefrom.
The commission did not seem to take
very kindly to the suggestion, and af-
ter considerable talk of an informal
nature it was resolved that the fol-
lowing letter be addressed to the Cam
brian association, and that nothing
further be done in the matter until
the associations answer was received;
IF we agree later upon which two
nights and one day you shall have of
our five days celebrat ton, and pro-
vided we advertise on all our posters
and advertising matter, how much OF
your gross receipts would you give the
commission for making the eisteddfod
the main feature of those two even
ingS, it being understood that your
committee shall have entire charge OF
the eisteddfod and pay all expenses
A letter was received from John Nc
Namara, secretary of the festival of
Mountain and Plain, held at Denver
last year, offering the committee
number of floats and other parapher-
MALTA used in the festival, which was
laid over for the present.
WANTED A DESIGN.
Then a long discussion followed
about a design for letter-heads and
envelopes, which it is proposed TO have
engraved on stationery to sell to bust
ness houses and others to use for their
correspondence as a means of adVer-
Using the celebration. A number OF
designs by artists and others were
submitted and Messrs. Clawson and
Colborn were appointed a committee
to fix on a design with power to
adopt it.
Ju0Se OOlDOT0, cidlTIlldn VI tIit
finance committee, said the committee
was doing good work with the sub
scription lists and referred to the lib
eral donation of $500 given by L. W.
Dittman.
MIMIC ROYALTY WON'T GO.
Reference was then made to the
desirability of having some central
dignitary as the head of the celebra- |
- hot iG
dignitary should not be designated as
4 queen or by any other name as a |
mimic of royalty, but rather that she,
for it must be a lady, and handsome
1ne, be designated as the Daughter of
The Republic, Daughter of the West, |
Utah, Liberty, or some similar ideal
character To fill this role Judge Col
BORN thought it was necessary TO have
he handsofnest woman in the state,
md others thought that the selection
should be confined to some lady who
vas a pioneer of 1S47, or at best was a
of a pioneer, because the
pioneers in the celebration must be the
most prominent figures in all depart
nents.
Mr.. McGarvie explained that in the
suggestions from him in this regard
which were published in The Herald OF
he had no intent to convey
he idea that the name queen" oil
my other title of royalty must neces-
arily be applied to the proposed rul-
ng figure of the celebration.
The matter was dropped, to come up
t a future meeting.
A PRESS BUREAU.
A suggestion was made that one or
wo members of the committee be
esignated as a press bureau, to fur
ish information to the papers, and the
hair appointed Judge Colborn to act
S such, pending the appointment of
regular committee for that purpose.
The thanks of the committee were
sndered to Messrs. McGarvie and J.
Wash Young for the effective work
hose gentlemen were doing with the
,gislators in the matter of the appro-
ration bill, and the meeting adj
burned.
