EAGLES WILL JOIN PARADE
Decision Reached that They Will
Take Part la Labor Day ,
Celebration.
At the meeting of Council Bluffs aerie of
Eagles laat night It was decided to Join
In the Labor day demonstration and to call
upon every Eagle In the city to Join the
parade. Labor day will be a holiday and
all of the members will have a chance to
leave their work. It was also decided to
Issue Invitations to the members of the
order In all of the surrounding towns ask
ing them to coma here and participate in
the parade and be the guests of the local
aerie during the day. This decision win
add ats least 600 men to the prade, which
will begin and end at the Commercial olut
carnival grounds. Every labor organisa
tion in the city has decided to Join the
parade and since the Eagles have made
the start It Is probable that all of the fra
ternal orders will do likewise.
Preparations for the carnival are being
pushed with unremitting vigor. Electrician
Damon haa completed all of the- wiring
required for the illumination of Baylies
park and the carnival grounds with the
exception of the booth a The work of build
ing the booths has been under way for the
last two days and last evening nearly half
of tha rough construction was completed.
Tha booths will extend all of the way
around the park, with the exception of the
Pearl street side. The park will be illumi
nated by 1,600 lncandeeoent lights and per
haps several of the huge flaming arcs will
be slipped Into the positions now occupied
by the .regular arc lights within the In
closed area. It Is certain the Illuminations
will be very much more extensive than has
been provided at any previous carnival.
