TWO DAYS OF
CARNIVAL
Elaborate Preparations Are Being
Made for the Celebration in
Whitefish on July 4 and
S. Sunday on the Lake
and rlonday in
Town.

All the arrangements are well under
way for the blg carnival celebration
which will be given in Whitefish on July
4 and ), and the outlook is that all pre-
vious endeavors in the county in this
line are going to be eclipsed this year.
Sunday, the 4th, will be Whitefsh
lake day, and, Whit no strenuous cele-
bration has been pisnned for this day, on
account of it being the Sabbath, never
theless the day on the lake will be full
of interest. 1t will be sort of picnic
day at Point of Pines, to which place the
boats will make regular trips with pas
sengers.
Patriotic addresses will probably be
arranged for at the head of the lake,
where the crowd will congregate. 1t is
planned to have all the private launches
form in procession on the forenoon of the
Fourth, and make the trip to the head OF
the lake in body.
Those who desire to do so can take
along lunch and picnic at the resort,
but dinner will be served in the pavilion
at Point of Pines for those who desire it,
just what water sports, if any, will be
pulled off has not yet been decided upon,
but c. E. Dayis, manager of the resort,
has volunteered to put up suitable prizes
for launch races ii the committee wishes
them.
The grounds at Point of Pines have
been cleared of brush and are in excel
lent shape for a crowd. A number of
new buildings are also being put up.
While the 4th will be an interesting
day, it is on the 9Th that the celebration
proper will be held, and for this day u
unique and strenuous program is being
prepared.
After the usual%unrise salute, the band
will play national airs in the band stand
to summon the crowd together, and will
then head the procession to the baseball
park, where the athletic tournament will
be held
The athletic events will be numerous,
including running races, for young and
old, jumping contests, hammer throwing,
and many novelty events, such as potato
race, cracker race, pick-a-back race,
three-legged race, sack race, etc.
After the athletic tournament
there will be short intermission, and
then will follow baseball game between
the Whitetish team and some outside club.
The usual admission will be charged to
this game.
Sometime during the day there will be
race between rival hose cart teams from
the fire department, if arrangements car
be made.
One of the greatest features of all this
year, however, will be the fireworks, anC
it is safe to say that there will be pyro.
technic display far beyond anything o
this nature ever seen in the county
There is going to be lots of money put
into fireworks, and they will be bought
right The japanese are all experts wher
it comes to buying and handling fire
works, and the committee has been for
tunate in securing their assistance in th
matter. The display last year was
grand ole, but this year it will be ever
better.
Not enough money has as yet beer
t subscribed to cover the expenses of tin
program as planned, but the finance
committee is working hard and belev
, they will be able to raise the sum needed
!, Every citizen who is able to do so shoul'
contribute something, and should not b
stingy about it, either. With a littl
more financial support Whitefsh vii
have a celebration that will long be re
' membered wildly by all who attend.
