Let's go! The old eagle is all
plumed rarin' to go the Fourth. In
other words Kennewick's celebration
committee has passed out the word
that every detail for the celebration
program is coming along in great
shape, and there is every indication
that the Fourth will be one big day.
Through the courtesy of the Elli-
son-White management the big chau-
tauqua tent is to be left up until the
night of the Fourth and will be used
for the patriotic exercises in the fore
noon. A telegram was received to-
day from Scott z. Henderson, of Ia
coma, saying that he will make q
strenuous effort to reach Kennewick
Sunday evening and officiate as or
ator of the day. In the event Mr..
Henderson is unable to keep his ap-
pointment other good speakers will
take his place.
The afternoon will be devoted to
the annual base ball classic between
the Kennewick and Pasco teams. Both
teams are strengthening their line
ups and the two managers say it is
going to be the premier base ball
event of the year. Following the ball
es, athletic sports and bucking con-
test. Those who do not care to "let
FER buck" may enjoy themselves at the
open air dancing pavilion where big
ten-piece orchestra will jazz it both
afternoon and evening, while special
pictures will be shown at the Liberty.
The feature of the celebration will
be the carnival stunts Of the Amer
ican Legion boys. They are giving out
no details but promise all kinds Of
fun. The entire net proceeds from all
of the carnival attractions will be
turned into the park fund. A large
corps of clown police will be on the job
to preserve order during the evening
and all offenders against the dignity
Of the occasion will be hailed before
a clown Judge who will dispense justice
with mercy and turn the fines into the
park fund. There will be yet more
stunts.
The days activities will start with
a parade at 10 o'clock. The commit
tee wants as many floats and decor
ated automobiles in line as possible
and the American Legion boys request
that all ex-service men turn out in
uniform. Blouses will not be neces-
sary.
To the end that the celebration visi-
tors may neither go hungry or wait
in lines at restaurants and cafes the
committee, with Chas, Haas, of the
bakery, in charge. will operate lunch
counter. A thousand cartons have been
received and have been placed at the
Columbia Clothing company. Every
woman in the community is requested
to take one or more Of the boxes, fill
them with lunch and deliver them to
Haas Bakery the morning Of the 4th.
These boxes will be sold and the pro-
ceeds given to the Park fund. For the
accommodation of those who wish to
bring their own picnic lunches visitors
will again be welcome on lawns and
parking strips of the city.
