W|CKENBURC'S
WILD WEST!
Fifth Annual Celebration Big.
ger and More Elaborate
Than Ever.

Each year the Wickenburg Wild
West has been a little larger and the
cash purses cOrrespondingly larger.
This year everything is being done
toward making it the biggest and best.
cowboy contest and all-around good
time for everybody that has ever been
given in this vicinity.
Those directly responsible for the
success of the affair cannot make it
success alone. 1t will take the CO.
operation of the entire community to
put this show on in good fashion.
The business men have already done
their preliminary share in putting up
the money necessary for advertising,
purchase of tickets, improvements to
the grounds, and other expenses in
cidental to opening show of this
caIibre That will all help bring en-
trants and spectators, but it won't
make the newcomers comfortable
while they are here. That is up to
the people. Greet them, whether you
know them or not. Make acquain-
tances easily for the two days of
the show. Let them feel that Wick
enburg really appreciates their com
ing and that they will always have
a good time and fair treatment at
our show. But most of all help the
management find lodging for the over
flow from the regularly equipped
hotels.
Every year people come to attend
the Wickenburg Wild West only to
find every available room taken, and
70
naming overnight as they had in
tended To take care of this over
flow the Wild West Committee this
year is going to follow the example
set by Prescott at their Frontier Days
and have list made of every room
in town that will accept a lodger or
two for the nights of our show This
list will be kept by Floyd Kellis at
the Blue Ribbon Bakery, and if every
person who has a room they can spare
will call at the bakery, Floyd will
list the room and the number of oc-
cupants it can accommodate, and the
price; then in case the hotels and
rooming houses are filled up, will di-
rect inquirers to these listed rooms

The Fireman's Masquerade dance
on the night of the 18th is an event
of good deal of Importance to Wick
enburg. Every dollar that is made
on this dance goes into the Fireman's
FUND to be used in case a member of
the Volunteers is injured while work
ing to put out fire. Several times
the Wickenburg Fire Boys have saved
the business blocks from destruction
and they have always given quick aid
to private residences, saving the ma
jority of them. Every time a man
goes into or on top a burning build
ing he risks his life and it is to the
interest of the entire community to
help get a big crowd here for this
dance SO the fire boys can enlarge
their fund, which is the only insur-
ance they have against injury And
the Wild West show is a means of
bringing the crowd together and it
deserves the support of every one

that go to the winners of the various
events and it is up to the people Of
Wickenburg to attend that these
purses may be large and attractiv
