Celebration Called on

There will be no Fourth of July
celebration in Julesburg this year
This decision was reached at a
meeting Tuesday evening by the
committee which had charge of
the celebration. after il was found
impossible to secure an orator and
a band for the occasion. 1t was
decided that it would be unwise to
attempt a celebration unless at
least one of these man attractions
could be secured. and as all eff
forts to secure either had so far
failed. the committee voted unan-
imously to call of the celebration.
The treasurer was therefore in
structed to refund the money to
those who had already paid their
subscriptions.
The failure to secure either a
band or an orator was due to the
fact that arrangements for a celc-
bratfon were commenced too late.
Every band within a radius of100
miles Of Julesburg had already
been engaged when it was decided
to celebrate here and one could not
be secured from Denver bee auSe
there was not enough money on
hand to pay for it. Likewise
Congressman r. w. Bonynge and
other pablo men who were invited
to deliver an address had already
made other engagements be-
fore the invitation to come to
Julesburg had been extended to
them.
Even had it been possible to Sc
cure band and an orator it is
doubtful if many people would
hay come to Julesburg on the 4tb.
Before they knew of a celebration
herea large majority of the people
in the surrounding conntry had
made arrangements to attend cele
brations elsewhere. With ccIc-
brations at Lodge Pole, Oshkosh,
Ogalala, Brule. Venango, Holy
oke, Haxtun and Sterling, each
one of which will attract some peO-
pie who would otherwise come to
Julesburg, the crowd here wodld
have been small. For these reas-
ons the committee felt insufed in
calling off the celebration, espcc-
tally as large majority of the bus
mess men were Indifferent about
the matter, and did not seem to
care whether Il celebration was
held or not.
1t has been suggested by good
many who did not care especially
for a Fourth of July celebration
that Il county fair and race meeting
be arranged for this fall. This
suggestion is a good one and it
should meet with the approval Of
every resident of the county. If
l. is adopted, arrangements should
be made in time SO that there will
be no question of It's success.
