The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1914-07-03

Nothing has been overlooked, no
detail neglected by the Fourth of July
committees and everything is now
in readiness for the grandest, most
glorious Fourth of July celebration
ever held in the famous Snake river
valley.
No committee is cramped for funds
to in any way curtail their plans,
music will be plentiful, prizes for all
kinds of sports will be greater than
ever before and no expense spared
for the comfort and pleasure of our
citizens and visitors.
Something has been arranged for
every hour of the day, from the salute
at sunrise until after the grand fire
works display, which will last until
far into the night. The day is so
full of enjoyment for young and old
that the one who does not get a full
measure of pleasure will have but
himself to blame. Come early and
late; don't miss any portion OF
this grand celebration.
Three prizes of SIS, $40 and s.
ill be awarded for the best decorat=
ed store fronts. This assures a gaily
decorated town.

Twentieth Century Barbecue
The celebration committee has it's
plans all made for the big barbecue
which is to be one of the big features
of the Blackfoot celebration next Sat-
urday. A monster beef has been Sc
cured, the quality of which is as
sured by the fact that it is a young
steer and strictly grain fed. Arthur
Westbrook will have charge of the
roasting and his wide experience
along this line insures a first class
job. He has arrived in town and is
now making the final preparations
for the big broiler.
There will be none of the unsani-
tary, slip-shod methods of the old
time barbecue either in the cooking
or the serving. The big beef will
be properly carved by three of the
best meet cutters in town, as each
