NOW READY
TO CELEBRATE
COMMITTEES COMPLETE PLANS
FOR FOURTH OF JULY CELE-
BRATION NEXT TUESDAY
CARNIVAL COMPANY NOT COMING
Parade, Sports, Ball Game, Dancing,
Wonderful Fireworks.


Fourth of July celebration for Tues
day has perfected all plans and be-
lieve that they will be able to give
the people of this city and Boundary
county as good an entertainment as
has ever been held.
1t now seems probable that the
Lachman Exposition Shows, sched
uled to show in Bonners Ferry from
July to will not come. All ar
rangements were completed for this
organization to come here and when
the advance agent was here some
three weeks ago it was agreed that
the organization would send its adj
vance man here two weeks before the
Fourth to arrange for a site for the
shows and to take care of advertising
the attraction. This week when the
advance man failed to show up, the
executive committee wired the COM
pany but to-date have had no answer.
Everything possible to make sure that
the attraction would be here, has been
done, but at this time the Fourth of
July committee feels certain that the
Lachman Exposition Shows will not
live up to their agreement and do not
intend to show here. This is quite
disappointment to the committee as -
had depended upon the carnival COM
pany to provide many of the amuse-
ments of the day including concerts
by two bands and several free at
fractions. The announcement that
the carnival company is not likely to
show on the Fourth is made at this
time in order not to disappoint anyone
who might come to the celebration
this year on account of this particular
attraction for the committee and all
the local business men do not wish to
attract any visitors to Bonners Ferry
and have them disappointed Every
effort will be made to provide amuse-
ments to make up for the loss of the
Lachman carnival company
The Fourth of July sports commit
tee has arranged for some special
features for the celebration in the way
of fancy horse riding, bucking CON
tests, trick rope exhibitions, etc This
exhibition will be put on by Harry
Miner, of Washington, Mont. known
as Spider Bill" Florence Parks, also
of Montana and G.. B. Essex, OF Bon
ners Ferry
Harry Miner is known all over the
United States as the champion wild
horse rider of the Pendleton Round
Up, having won the grand champion
ship there two years in succession.
Florence Parks has appeared in all
the important round-ups of the west
as a lady trick rider while G. B.
Essex has won many prizes in the
Montana, Oregon and Wyoming
round-ups for riding and breaking
horses.
Any one having wild horse is in
vited to bring in the animal for Miner
or Essex to ride. $50 will be given
any one bringing in a horse which
these men cannot ride, according to
the announcement being made by the
Fourth of July sports committee
In addition to the various races and
contests announced last week in the
Herald there will be a bicycle race
the morning of the Fourth for bows
under 16 years of age.
The committee in charge of the
parade has endeavored to provide a
feature of the celebration that will
be worth seeing The parade is to
