The Winslow mail., 1925-06-30

celebration with the greatest de-
gree of eclat, aplomb and au gra-
tin. About as many more owners
and drivers of cars will join the
parade when it starts from here
so that Flagstaff will be apprised
when we hit town. Windshield
stickers were received here yester-
day with which Winslow people
may decorate their cars, and let it
be known where they came from.
The stickers, rich red ink on pure
white paper, read as follows:
WE CAME FROM WINSLOW
TO
CELEBRATE WITH FLAGSTAFF
These stickers will be furnished
to people joining the motorcade, in
which at least 100 cars are expect
ed to travel in body into the city
of Flagstaff A number of people
are planning to leave for the cele-
bration city before Saturday and
those cars will join the caravan at
Cliffs, three miles east of Flagstaff,
at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning.
A reception committee from Flag
staff will be on hand to lead the
WinslOw delegation into town and
escort them around.
The big parade of F'orty-Niners
will be held at 1880, SO that the

Flagstaff has on the tapis a great
celebration, one that nobody should
miss.
Under the personal direction of
Clyde Zerby, director in chief of
the days of '49" celebration, the
finishing touches to the "'49" viii
1age, the booths and housing for
the many concessions and side
shows located on the ten-acre lot,
are being applied by a force of
seventy-five men. Assurances have
been given that everything will be
in readiness to receive the crowds
when the celebration officially
opens.
The "'49" village, built entirely
of heWn logs and punctured with
portfolios from which rifles pro-
trude, has been pronounced an
exact duplicate of those built more
than seventy-five years ago by the
hardy frontiersmen. The village
in itself is worth going many miles
to see The work of decorating the
streets of the city, the business
houses and private residences has
been completed. Every man, wo-
man and child of the community is
on his toes in anticipation of wit
Messing the most elaborate cele-
bration of the early days ever
staged in the southwest.
Chief among the numerous at
fractions will be the mammoth
pageant and parade on the morning
of July Fourth in which every
phase of early day life in the west
will be depicted. Stage coaches of
every size and style, many of
which have seen actual service in
Arizona, covered, wagons, burro
and pack trains, desert rats" and
miners, OK teams, Indians, cow
boys and cowgirls, women of the
days of '49 mounted on side saddle
and riding astride, will be seen in
the pageant.
Nothing like the parade has ever
before been seen in Flagstaff. The
entire citizenry of the community,
from the oldest man to the come
liest woman, have lent willing
hands and hearts to the initial
preparations.
Not a detail will be lacking in
the pageant, which will be an ac-
tual INSTALLATION of the days of 49,
and will truly represent the haz-
ardous and turbulent events which
predominated in the days when
the west was young. No automo-
bile will be allowed place in the
two-mile long pageant.
Old-time stage coaches, vehicles
which have seen and passed
and whose battered sides are pune
tured by the bullets of Indians and
desperadoes alike, will roll their
creaking way in the great parade
Seated within will be women wear
ing the garb of the "Days of 49,
while atop the ancient vehicles will
be the menfolks in checkered
homespun shirts, hobnailed boots
and wide and low-brimmed hats
The men will wear facial adorn
ments Of whiskers of every size
and color. The pageant will bt
