The various committees In conjune.
lion with the elected officers will
form an executive committee, and a
meeting of that body will be held In
The city hall next Thursday night.
= Z The different events will be cut
lined by the program committee, and
when the finance committee gets its
work well under way a definite de-
eision will be made as TO just how
far the money raised will go and Il
will be used in the most judicious
manner.
The matter of a rodeo was dis
eussed at some length. The Walker
brothers, who have been in Ely for
some time endeavoring TO arrange for
a rodeo, have agreed TO furnish a
show upon guarantee of $1,000.
This will include the furnishing of
ten wild horses. twenty head of cat
lie and five men for the purpose of
furnishing exhibitions IN broncho
busting, steer roping and other usual
features In wild west show
Through the efforts of George Doyle
Robert Pohl and +. A. Richardson.
II is understood that something over
5000 has been guaranteed by busI-
ness men of Ely To date, and a con-
siderable number have not yet been
interviewed. The advisability OF
holding a wild west show on the
municipal park grounds was thor
oughly discussed and some held to
the belief that while the red tailings
have now been covered such a show
might damage the park grounds. and
the fact that there Is no fence for
protection In case the roper misses
n steer or a wild horse gets away
was considered. These matters will
all eventually be decided by the ex.
ecutive committee.
When the question of a display OF
ayeworks was brought up the chair
An asked Mayor Gallagher for an
expression of his views. and the lat
ter said he thought without a salute
in the morning and some suitable
display In the evening the celebra-
tion would be a misnomer. City At
torney Lockhart said that Attorney
Gilbert +. Boreman was pastmas
ter In pyrotechnics and suggested
that he be consulted
The secretary was directed 10 Inn
mediately order suitable fireworks
for the evening display and City En-
gineer Frank W. Millard said the
city had on hand about a half box
of dynamite that might be used fer
the salute. Neither the mayor nor
members of the council interposed
any objection. and II they had they
undoubtedly would have been de-
clared out OF order and fined for
speaking out OF their turn.
The baseball game, the prize fight,
the dance to be given by the Ameri-
can Legion and all other events
that may be decided upon will be ar
ranged in their proper order before
the program committee completes its
work. but one thing has been def
nitely settled upon and that Is that
Ely will have a Fourth of July cele-
braticn such as Is commonly known
as a stemvinder.
