Van BLARCOM IS
TO Be MARSHAL
Newspaper Man Will Have
Charge Of Opening Fair
Day Parade.

W. y. Van Blarcon,. jr.. we'll
known newspaper mon and for SIX
years connected with the Colorado
rank of colonel, has been appointed
marshal Of the big opening day pa
rade Of the Lewiston-Clarkston fair.
AT the earnest solicitation 'oI
those having the opening day arr
rangements in hand, Mr.. Van Blar-
com made known this morning that
ne would take hold of the affair, .s,s
announcement being made officially
by Chairman M. w. Barnett.
THE parade will not be long one,
but what there will ce Of it, Ehall
strive to make both pleasing to the
eye and Instructive" stated Mr.. Van
Blarcom. II have made certain Of
three bands and Queen Estella will
be stationed in cornucopia float,
magnificently decorated. The IA
maids will be grouped about her.
Orders to Participate.
II have been giverf assurances that
number Of the fraternal organiza-
tions intend taking part in the pa
rade In body and wish those who
are to participate would notify me
at once so can allot them proper
places in the line of march. I un-
derstand that number of the labor
organizations will participate and it
Is necessary that I should immedi-
ately be informed.
Merely as e suggestion, think
that the ladies who were interested
and who succeeded IN bringing about
the decision Of the officers of the
INSTRUMENTATION lair not to per-
NIT the sale of liquors on the fair
grounds could not show their appre-
citation in a better manner than by
placing float in the parade.
Business HOusea to Have Floats.
Uniformed bodies and the .busi-
ness houses represented by floats viii
be given the preference in the pa
rade. The parade will disband at
the bridge and the queen, the gover-
nors and her escorts will Immediate
ly be driven to the fair grounds. Aft
er sufficient time has elapsed for all
who SO wish to be present at the cor
onation, this ceremony will take
place.
-Ah persons having live stock which
they wish to display in the parade
| are invited to do so and Will set
aside a special division for this pur-
| pose. I will arrange so that the AMI
mails will be at a safa distance from
the music so as to avoid their be-
coming frightened I will also have
wagons at the rear of the line to pre-
went the rush of the crowd frighten-
| ing the cattle.''

of delirium tremens. When released
