Baton Rouge Celebration.

Baton Rouge, La, July IA meet
ng Of the speakers committee for
the Frisco-Rock Island celebration ON
July 81 was held today, and the an
nouncement was made to the com
mittee by Chairman Roux that two
speakers, Governor Sanders and Judge
7. ]. Herman, had been decided upon
and both had accepted.
Governor Sanders is very much in
terested in the event, and has pro-
missed to make one of the principal
addresses. He thinks that the open
ing Of the transmississippi traffic in
to Baton Rouge, connecting the capi-
tai Of Louisiana with the western
parishes, is an event Of State vide
interest.
The committee expects to get a
third speaker, possibly from OpeIou-
sas. These three men will deliver
addresses. Governor Sanders will re-
present the State; Judge Herman will
represent Baton Rouge, and the third
speaker, not vet announced, will re-
present the new territory to the west,
and will bring message from those
people to Baton Rouge.
