CELERRATION JULY 4-5
Parade on Morning of the Fourth to be Big Fea
ture-Soldiers Urged to Participate -Horse
Races, Ball Games, Other Sports*
Arrangements are now practically
formulated for the home-coming
welcome of Bear Lake's returned
\ soldiers and sailors and a general
BJÙ»
' kocxl weather prevails on those days
tnere will be more people in Mont
pelier than ever before gathered
within its gates, and an effort will
be made to see that they are properly
enteralned.
The. parade of course will be the
big feature on the morning of the
Fourth, and It promises to surpass
any parade ever seen in the city. ■
Besides the soldiers and sailors
who will march In Une, there will be
floats bearing the Ooddess of Lib
erty and Queen of Bear Lake, spec
tacular floats, business floats, dec
orated autoa, men and women on
horseback, comical characters and
other attractive features.
It is the earnest desire of the com
mittee that every returned soldier
and sailor participate in the parade,
in uniform. Invitaions have been
sent to all whose addresses could be
obtained, but for the fear that some
have been overlooked, we publish
below the invitation as issued by the
Boosters' club:
"Dear Sir—The City of Mont
pelier, under the auspices of the Bear
Lake Boosters' club, extend to you
a cordial invitation to participate in
the 4th of July celebration, to take
place at Montpelier during the 4th
and 6th of July. You are to be one
of its honored guests. It is desired
that you attend in full uniform, to
participate in the parade arranged
for on the day of the 4Ch, after which
nothing further wUl be required of
you except to be our guest at all the
events outlined for the two days,
your uniform bdlng your right to ad
mission without charge to all of
them. Your presence is earnestly
requested."
The parade will start from Fourth
street at 10: Ob o'clock, or as near
that hour as possible, and take the
following line of march: South on
Fourth streçt to Main; thence west
to Seventh street; thence north one
block; thence west on Lincoln avenue
to Eleventh street; thence south to
Main street; thence east on Main to
the tabernacle, where the patriotic
exercises will be held.

CAMELS BREAK I AWING
STREAK, WIN TWO GAMES
The Camels broke their losing
streak at Green River last Sunday,
when they trimmed the Brewers to
the tune of 12 to 1. In Saturday's
contest with the same team, ttiey
played good ball but lost out by the
Bcore of S to 2. Ktlburn of Magna.
Utah, who haa signed up with the
Camels tor the balance of the Mas
on, pitched both games and did ef
fective work on the mound.
Camels have also been strengthened
by the addition of ''Red'' Lynch of
Green River, who will hold down the
third sack.
That tha Camels are rounding In
to shape Is further evidenced by the
fast that they took tho Pocatello
Elks down the line on the local
diamond Tuesday evening by a score
of 16 to 3. A1 Bresee, who is man
ager of the Antlers, thought he had
an Invincible bunch of ball plkyers,
but the tltitads- k«r* was evidently
too high for them, and tbs Camels
had easy pickings.
Ray McCurdy of Pocatello, •
crackerjack short stop, will probably
play with the Camels for the bal
ance of the season, and now that the
jinks has been dispelled, Manager
Tuhks feels certain that the local
fans will not again be humiliated by
such poor exhibitions of base ball
as was witnessed here In the contest
with the Brewers two weeks ago.
Saturday's game at Green Rivbr
was lost to tho Camels In the sev
„mh inning, when errors gave tin
The
Brewers three runs.
