P,J. Finleon has been hustling tho
past week, assisted by Adolph Nelson
and others, 10 raising the necessary
funds to make the fourth Of July cele-
bration an unquestioned success. With
his push and perseverance he has sue
ceeded in raising, through pledges, a
sum Of money which, along with the
citys donation, gives tho greatest of
encouragement. However, if anyone has
been overlooked who is possessed Of
paying as well as general patriotism, he
will not feel in the least embarrassed il
such will see him and affix their sigma
lures to his subscription list. This city
has not had q celebration for several
years and this one should be an unlim-
tied success. 1t can be such and judg-
ing from the energy Of the special COM
mittee it is going to be such. Get into
the great patriotic band wagon and do
your duty in shouting for tho great 4th
and 9Th OF July jubilee in Idaho Springs.

1t looks as if this city would be rep
resented by a first class ball team again
this season. The parties promoting The
same are going about it in thoroughly
business-Iike manner and if their plans
meet with success the ball fans of this
city will have chance to turn out and
cheer on a winning team. The pur-
pose of the promoters Is to organize
the Idaho Springs Base Ball Association
incorporate and issue stock, fence in
the ball grounds, put the grand stand
and grounds in first class condition and
endeavor to place the proposition on
dividend paying basis. Instead of
asking for subscriptions to maintain
the ball team, the association intends
to issue stock at par value of 81 per
share, and for every dollar subscribed
the subscriber will receive share of
stock The parties who originally in
vested their money in the grand stand
and grounds have already signed over
to the association all their interest in
the same and the association has also
secured the suits and outfit of the
''Pike rs" team, and will have the name
on the suits changed to read Idaho
Springs. Already applications have
been received from outside players ask
ing for place on the team, and every
thing points to a successful baseball
season. OF course the success of the
venture will depend solely on the
amount Of stock the promoters will sell,
and unless enough is sold to warrant
them going ahead with the work as
planned the enterprise will fall through
1t is sincerely hoped that those who are
approached with the proposition of buy
ing stock will help all they can to
boost" the thing along. and have
Idaho Springs placed on the base ball
map
