Pioneer Day was fittingly celebrated in Nephi last Tuesday, under the auspices of the Juab Stake Primary association, and included a program at the Juab Stake Tabernacle in the morning, a baseball game in the afternoon, which was followed by a parade, and a ten act pageant at the fair grounds. The entire day's activities were thoroughly enjoyed by the large crowd of people in attendance. At 10:30 the program in the Tabernacle included the following: two pageants, one by the South ward, and one by the Nephi ward, also a number of songs, and talks by Bishop Thomas Bailey and Geo. Allen. Airs. A. E. Smith presided. The baseball game between Nephi and the Decimo Club of Salt Lake, resulted in a win for Nephi with a score of The game was interesting throughout, and the local boys Just outplayed the visitors, but the Decimo club is" the best players that have competed during the present season. The parade which started at Chas. Foote and Sons corner, and marched to the Forrest hotel corner, and d to the court house corner and down Center street to the fair grounds was one of the best ever witnessed in Nephi. The floats, while not a large number, were very attractive, and were indeed pleasing to see. The Birthday Cake, representing 50 years of Primary organization, was an outstanding float, while the others were very attractive. A large number of the Primary children took part in the parade, either in floats or marched as groups. At the fair grounds the Primary associations of the stake presented the ten-apageant, which was a very fine entertainment, and while the audience could not hear all of the spoken parts, it was well received by those in attendance. The training that the Primary children received in putting on the pageant was of untold value to them, both from the standpoint of bringing to their minds the way the Primary children of the early days carried on their meetings, and entertainments, and from the standpoint of training as entertainers. The officers and teachers of the Primary associations of this stake are to be complimented for their efforts in putting over the pageant and parade. It was easily seen that the officers and teachers of the Primary association have spent hours and hours in preparing for this event, and the people of Nephi and Juab Stake appreciate their efforts and work, as was shown by the large gathering at the fi grounds Tuesday to witness the pageant. The comuiItta& Sa charge of the 24 th celebration wishes to announce that through n oversight, arrangements for the Nephi band to play for the Pioneer Day celebration was not made until some of the Nephi players had contracted to play with Fountain Green. Regardless of this fact Mr. Martin organized the band and made a very good showing, considering the handicap. The band played on Main Street in the morning, and at the baseball game in the afternoon.

Charles Morris of Salt Lake City Nephi today on business. Mr. Morris has just been over to Tooele county, making arrangements for the gathering of some of the wild horses off the public domain. Throughout several counties in this state there has been a special effort put forth by the county commissioners and livestock interests to have the ranges rid of this type of pest. Mr. Morris reports that there is a sale for the range horses at J 5 and $6 per head, which would pay for the gathering. It Is reported that there are a number of these wild horses on the ranges in Western Juab and Tooele counties and if there is a sale price which will pay lor the gathering, the livestock interests should get together and organize a round-u- p and rid the range of the pests, as they are one of the biggest detriments to the range, on account of the large area they feed on, and tramp down.

Nancy Carroll At the Kiwanis luncheon Monday, Durham gave a taik, his subMr. ject being, "Pioneer Day." Durham put forth two ideas, which were very closely associated with the subject. Mr. Durham asked the question, "Are the people of Utah getting all of the records of the early experience of the Utah Pioneers?" Are the people of this day and age recording all of the facts concerning the lives of our early pioneer citizens, or are they waiting until all of the early settlers are dead, and get the necessary information from the descendants of the pioneers. He stressed the fact that in the lives of the early settlers of our community, that there were numerous brave deeds done, and hardships gone through, thai had never been printed, and the speaPer expressed a desire to have a more thorough record made of the lives and deeds of our early settlers. He also spoke of the early life of the Utah pioneers, stating that the history made by the pioneers were equal to the hardships endured by any people during the development of any part of the civilized world. G. R. Judd presided at the luncheon, and two piano selections were rendered by Kenneth Judd. T. O. Movement Started For The Organization And Outfitting of City Band!
