yelt post of the American Legion re-
turned last Thursday from the legion

locks. James S. Bennett and Will

WILL CELEBRATE
PIONEER DAY
IN ELY

Saturday, July "a, the annual
celebration of Pioneer Day will be
held in Ely for the first time. This
celebration is one of the biggest
events throughout the west and dur
ing the past years the county cele-
bration has been held at Preston or
Lund The celebration promises a
novel feature for Ely, introducing
the once famous bull-teams that were
the railroads into the west during its
early stages OF development. Several
owners of famous oy-teams will bring
their trains into the city and COM
pete for prizes Horse racing and
broneho busting will also be one of
the features while athletic contests
will be held for the sturdy young
ranchers with an invitation for their
cousins to participate.
The program arrangements are in
the hands of Pop" Mangum who
promises one of the liveliest times
the city has witnessed.
The holding of the pioneer day
celebration at Ely should open the
eyes OF the business men of the city
to the advantages of promoting a
stock show at Ely. This would be
the means of bringing the ranchers
into close touch with the business
men and enabling them to keep the
business of the ranchers in the city
instead of the mail order houses
getting the bulk OF it, which condi-
tjon is now prevailing.
Although Ely is ordinarily min
ing city. too little attention Is paid
to the growing business of ranching.
If the proposed park for tourists
should be turned into a fair ground
where the ranchers OF the county
could be invited each year to dis
play stock and ranch products, the
investment would be a good one for
the business men and the taxpayers
In general.
Pioneer day could then be made
one of the greatest celebrations
throughout the county and work 30
the advantage of every resident with
in It's boundaries.
