A MASS MEETING CALLED.
To Consider Ways of Celebrating
the Fourth.
IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME
Butte Wants a Good Celebration or None
at All = Three Full Weeks to
Prepare for a Record
Breaker.

A meeting of citizens is called for
next Saturday evening at $ o'clock at
the city council chamber to consider
the matter of having a Fourth of July
celebration. A large attendance is de-
sired. so that there may be a full ex-
preston as to the ACCESSIBILITY of hav-
ing a celebration.
The meeting il called by II. l.. Frank.
chairman. and Frank McWi.liams, sec
rotary of the old Fourth of July COM
mittee of two years ago. Mr.. McWill-
liams said yesterday:
There is still plenty of time to get
up a good celebration and we want "A
good n or none at all. Two years
ago we only had we weeks i'm which
to get IN the celebration and we a
a good one. The display of fireworks
in the East Broadway school yard a
appreciated by all. Last year we only
had 10 DAYS after meeting and we de-
cided not to have the celebration, as
that was too short a time to get a good
display of fireworks. If we start i'm at
Saturday nights meeting we will have
three full weeks in which to get ready
and hat is plenty of time. The fire
works are the only thing on which
time is required. | would favor putting
most or the money into nreWofks tnis
year. We should have a parade in the
morning, followed by speeches. The
races and other sports will consume the
afternoon and the fireworks would fin
ish the days celebration in proper
style. Our fireworks two years ago
cost $500. That was a good display.
but i think we should have 1000 put
into the fireworks this year, and let II
be the best eve seen in the West. We
should have some pieces particularly
appropriate to his year. IL we could
have a representation of the blowing up
of the Maine and the bompardment of
Manila or Santiago or San Juan II
would he splendid. and | ave no
doubt we can get such pieces If we put
money into Ii.
II think we should appoint the COM
mittees Saturday evening and let them
start right TO work IN Monday"

SAND AND GREASE.

Every locomotive on surface steam

sand to be run on the track when the
rails ae slippery and the driving wheels

pery from a variety OF causes. A pour
ing rain washes them clean and does not

when there Is dew on them, or frost;
drivers may slip on autumn leaves ly-
