Douglas and Lyon counties are 60
ing to stand in.
And already letters of inquiry are
pouring in from all sections of the
State, and every one seems to be on
the qoi uige to know all about the de-
tails of the coming celebration, the
queens, the Goddess of Liberty, the
maids of honor, Rex, the Prime Min
lister, the Grand Marshal, the Presi-
dent of the day, the ballots, the Mid
way, the parades, the grand carnival
ball, the floats, the music, the cos
tunes, the baby show; and, dear me,
if the secretaries succeed in answering
one one thousandth of the inquiries, it
will keep them busy till the very eve
of the carnival.
However, in the hands of the eff
cient chairman, Eugene Howell, who,
as every one knows, is a gentleman of
great determination, telling executive
ability and unfailing resources, the
carnival is bound to be a rousing sue
cess; and he and his able corps of as
sistants and secretaries will leave no
stone unturned to make of the coming
carnival the merriest, maddest maze of
merry-making that Carson or any
other city has ever witnessed.
The features of the famed Mardi
Gras festivities at New Orleans will
pale into insignificance beside some of
the attractions to be offered 1.-THE Car

What city in the Union can furnish
more attractive women than those of
Carson City! Their beauty is right
fully famed far and wide.
Nevada has many grand attractions
of which she may justly boast, but of
none is she more proud than her beau
tiful galaxy of lovely women, who, in
bewitching costumes, will add grace
and beauty to the parade, forming a
living, breathing tribute to the health
fitness of our balnny summer days, our
life-giving, invigorating atmosphere,
and our unsurpassed climate; and, we
promise you, there will be no real es-
tate agents on hand to charge so much
per square foot ''for climate as they
do in much-advertised Southern Cali
fornia but you may gaze on the pretty
girls and draw as deep a breath as
you've mind to without any extra
cost whatever.
And baby show!
This is one of the many bright ideas
of the able chairman of the Ladies' Ex-
ecutive Committee, Mrs II. A. Lem
mon.
1t is predicted that the baby show
will be one of the most delightful as
well as most enjoyable of the many
features which will be planned to in
terest and amuse the large concourse
of visitors who will be at the Capital
City to attend the Carnival.
1t is rumored that a prize will be
given the bright little tot under three
years, who can most clearly and dis
tinctly repeat a sentence or pronounce
the difficult words propounded by the
Judges; and, already, many solicitous
mothers and big sisters and brothers,
with dictionaries and encyclopedias,
have begun the preliminary training
of the household joy and pet.
The ladies are taking especial inter-
est in the success of the carnival and
each one has many suggestions which
will be of value to the Committees in
planning the features to be introduced.
There are many ladies and gentle
men who, although interested and will
ing, have been unable, for various
reasons, to attend the meetings, and
their ideas on the ways and means of
making the carnival success would
be most acceptable.

1t was suggested that contributions
be asked of the school. children of Car
son City, but this was dispensed with
as not being feasible:
But there are many ways in which
the school-children can be of assistance,

Carnival Day, why wouldn't it be a
good idea for the schoolchildren to
