AIR man ASSURED
FOR JULY FOURTH

A wire has been received from Oak
land giving the information that an
aviator has been secured for the
Fourth of July celebration at Win
nemucca, and the terms of contract
agreed upon.
This feature of the program had
been up in the air" for some time.
and 1t Is great relief to the commit
tee in charge to know that the big
event has been arranged for.
At a meeting last evening the sub.
committee chairmen gave reports of
progress, and all were enthusiastic
over the outlook.
appointments were made for the
various prizes, and a tentative pro-
gram formulated. Some revisions
may be necessary, but II is expected
I, have good outline of the features
OF the three-day affair in shape for
publication within a few days, To-
gether with the prizes to be offered
in the different contests.
The sporting events will be distrib-
uted throughout the whole celebra-
tion and are to be pulled off on Rail
road, Bridge. Second and Third
streets, and at Association park.
1t has been decided to have the bic
parade on the morning of July 4, as 4
number of business men desire t) en-
ter floats or machines, but state that
Monday, July 3. will be a busy dav
with them, whereas the Fourth vii,
be holiday. Tlis will make the
Fourth busy day for the committed
in charge. but they are ready TO un-
dertake the extra work if by so doing
they can add to the success of the
celebration.
superintendent Rollins has a force
of men at work stringing the wires
for the extra lights on Bridge and
Railroad streets, and Winnemucca
will certainly be worth looking at in
her holiday decoration, even if there
were nothing else to attract ones at
tention.
The committee are holding frequent
sessions and giving much time and
energy to preparation for the big time
and those in touch with the situation
say they have never seen or known
of preparations for a big celebration
being handled so effectively and har-
moniously. The prospect for the best
Fourth of July ever witnessed in the
state of Nevada grows brighter day
by day
