ID BE GREATEST
 IN HISTORY
Business Men Determine to Make 4th of July 1907, Memorable In Annals of the Warren District.

Never in the history of the city have the business men taken mp any project with as much enthusiasm as has de veloped during the past couple of days in the matter of the Fourth of July celebration, and there is not the slightest doubt that if the people of the city generally will lend their sup port the event will be the greatest that has ever taken place in the Ter ritory of Arizona. With the various necessary committees appointed at the meeting last evening. which was large ly attended. the preparations for the events are now under way. and all are determined to make the occasion memorable.
 At the preliminary meeting which was held in the city hall on Saturday evening of last week Chairman Nc Nair of the Chamber of Commerce, appointed number of prominent busi- ness men to act as ways and means committee, and report at meeting to be held last night their plans in the matter.
 Last evening at o'clock the meet ing was called to order in the city hall by Chairman McNair. On motion made and seconded, it was decided to make the organization permanent, and to elect permanent officers. C. E. Rinehart was chosen permanent chair man: I. B. Henderson, secretary, and NJ. J. Cunningham. The committee on ways and means made a general re- port, and then on motion from the floor. the chairman appointed the fol- lowing gentlemen to act on the var ious committees: Committee on Finance-C. k. Rine- hart, J. L. Boston and Sam Franken- berg.
 Committee on Arrangements and Program-J. J. Bowen, c. M. Henkel, Harry Jennings. James Letson and L. A. Brown.
 Committee on Advertising-W. B. Kelly, R. A. Kirk and A. l.. Manahan.
 Committee on Transportation-W P. McNair.
 Committee on Thomas De- vine, John Collins. Joseph Collie, Jack Hinckley, Michael Hannon and c. w Moon.
 Committee on In-rown Sports-Ben Frankenberg, James Nichols and Will liam Robinson.
 Committee on Fire Works-C E. Rinehart.
 After the appointment of the com mittees. a general discussion of var ious features of the celebration was indulged in. Several gentlemen pres ent dwelt upon the fact that in years gone by the program has been an ever recurring affair with the same old sports and methods of entertainment It was suggested that in this years program there should be incorporated features which have never been had before, and for that reason it was sug- gested that the general public offer to the committees any plans for features that will be different from the Ordin- ary run.
 Another matter which engaged the attention of those present was the fact 1 that in years gone by almost invari- l ably professional drillers have carried away all of the prizes in the drilling 1 contests, and the ordinary miner has | had no chance to get in the money. Il l is well known fact that many expert 1 drillers travel from one camp 1 to another taking the money in ] every instance, and to prevent this | it was decided last night that this | years contest would only be open to l the Warren district, Tombstone and | Cananea. and to men who have never before taken part in a drilling contest for prizes or money. This feature, it
 is expected will bring out a great many men who have hitherto kept out
 of the contests, knowing that they had
 no chance against experts who were entered.
 The meting adjourned, after it had been moved and carried that a meet
 ing Of all the committees take place al
 the city hall on tomorrow evening al o'clock.
