Morenci, Arizona, June IL, 1914
At a completely enthusiastic and
widely attended meeting of Morencis
citizens held at the new Morenci
courthouse on the evening of Fri
day, all plans were made for the
towns celebrating the nations natal
day with continual round of pleas
ures that will pale the many former
successful similar celebrations to the
towns renown.
At the meeting Friday all commit
teemen were appointed for every
phase of the celebration, a complete
list of prizes was formulated, and
general arrangements made for the
various features of entertainment in
the main. The various committees,
all subsidiary to the general arrange
ments committee, will meet on the
evening of Friday, June 10, and there
report in full as to their detailed ar
rangements for the conduct of the
entertainments to be followed in their
various lines. The sports committee
men will meet on the evening of
Monday, June 10, to render their re
port, and will also attend the meeting
of Friday. These meetings will be
held at the courthouse. With thoughts
of the complete success of the cele-
bration of last year, the various COM
mitteemen there serving were as far
as possible again appointed this
year.
At the meeting of Friday, definite
announcement was made that the
plans already formed concerning the
principal features of the celebration
would be followed. Clifton's base
ball team will contest here with Mo
renci, and for attractive prizes. All
phases of sports will entertain.
Dances will be held for the enter
tainment of both Americans and
Mexicans, and music for this amuse-
ment, as for all throughout the day,
will be of the best possible to OBJ
tain. Chairman Donahue announced
that all arrangements had been made
for a display of fireworks that will
prove to be one of the most beautiful
and enjoyable entertainment features
ever presented to the people of Mo-
renci.
Great Fireworks Display
The fireworks display alone is ex-
pected to attract hundreds of visitors
from Clifton and surrounding towns
as never before has an entertainment
of such magnificence been afforded
the people of this section. Seven
hundred dollars will be spent for this
feature alone, and to the illuminants
an expert has been secured from San
Francisco. The most brilliant page
ants of cities do not offer similar fea-
lures of more diverse beauties. From
the highest points above the Morenci
amphitheatre these illuminants will
be streaming for more than two
hours. This display will consist of
seventy-two distinct numbers, all of
rare beauty, vividly illustrating as
