ITO CELEBRATE THE 4TH
Conconully and Okanogan to Dc
1t Three Days and One Day
Stands at Molson and Golden.

The big 4th of July celebration this
year is to be pulled off at Conconully.
There is going to be too much of it to
crowd into single day, and hence the
people of the county seat have decided
to string it out for three days, the 4th,
5th and 9th. So diversified is the pro-
gram and so tempting are the prizes,
attracting many entries for the vari-
Gus events, that there will not be a
/ dull moment from the coming up of
the sun on the 4th, to the disappear
ance of the orb of day on the 7th. The
Presidents of Conconully have Joined
together to make the celebration of
! 1910 the grandest event in the history
| of the old town, and if these is not a
hot time therein it will be no fault of
those who have the proceedings in
charge. Contributions to the fund to
supply the fun have been prodigally
liberal. 1t is money that talks in maxi
ling celebration a success, as in every
thing else in this life, and in this case
|the coin to disburse shouts in stentOr-
ian tones. 1t is not necessary to name
all of the good things on the bill-of-
fare Indeed there are so many of
them if one attempted to enumerate
he would probably overlook some of
the best of them. A puller on the
bills is a base ball tournament, in
(which 5000 goes to the winning team.
This is lump of cash large enough
to draw out the strongest teams in the
county, and those who are on hand will
see some classy games. Malott, Twisp
and Conconully will probably struggle
for the championship, not overlooking
the wad in the meantime. That is a
pretty fat purse, but the cash hung up
for the races tops the lump of dough
|going to the ball players. The race
purses call for $3.50. There will be
frotting and running races, squaw races
Ind slow races, and any other kind of
race that can be framed up. If there
S any one thing in the way of sports
more than another that will draw a
erowd in this country it is horse rae
Ing, and there will be races galore at
Conconully during the protracted cele-
bration. Band concerts and dancing
Eill enliven the evenings, supplying
pleasure for the younger participants.
OF &c fn
hat many will attend the celebration
rom the north end of the county, be-
|ides there will be attractions up this
Fay to keep people at, or near, home,
put there is a large population within
basy reach of Conconully, the majority
bf whom should, and will, be on hand
10 help out the event. The many read
ers of the GAZETTE in the central part
bf the county are advised to go over to
the shire town on the dates mentioned
and are assured of having one Of the
Ibest times of their lives.
The eagle will Hutter and tear off a
| few screams at Nelson on the 4th. The
/ good and loyal residents of that place
and vicinity have made elaborate prep
arations for receiving and entertaining
Visitors on that eventful date, and will !
supply celebration in all it's varied
features that will meet the approba-
tion of all who may join in and have
some. Nelson being the nearest and
most easily getatable point where the
4th is to be observed this year Oroville
will send over big delegation to help
swell the crowd and make the event a
success. The local band has been en-
gagged to supply melody, and the boys
are getting into shape so that they can
deliver choice brand of sweet sounds.
Besides the band the local ball club
has arranged to attend and play game
with the Nelson performers with the
big stick. OF course the band and ball
team will be accompanied by large
number of residents of Oroville, as
there will be no goings on here to keep
them at home, and, besides, very
amicable feeling exists between the
two towns, and the people of Oroville
will take pleasure in aiding to make
the Nelson 4th a corking good one.
