Mr.. Jack from the Finance COMMITTEES
made an exhaustive report concerning the
work lone by all the subcommittee.
There had been $1,634 subscribed which
was only partially collected. Mr.. Jack
was emphatic in assuring the gentlemen
present that only by strenuous efforts
would the celebration be d success. A
number OF instances were advertedito where
individuals had made subscriptions utterly
disproportionate to the benefit they would
he certain to reap on the Fourth
and the general sense of the meeting was
that these parties should be approached
again and further efforts made to induce
them to enlarge their subscriptions. There
was an expense OF about So 800 incurred,
and the procession aud celebration all
through WAS going to be by far the most
periect tuat had ever been gotten up III
Butte. 1t had been advertised literally both
BY posters and in the press, and crowds OF
people would be here on that day from the
outside. 1t only needed the proper placing
Of these facts before those who will un-
doubtedly reap the major benefit from the
presence OF the crowds in town to insure
liberal subscriptions in order hat the full
programme be carried out in it's entirety.
Captain Wyman, as representing General
Warren, marshal of the day, made a state
nent of the prospective size of the process
ION from the bodies that have so far ex-
PISSED an intention Of taking places in the
line, and according to his showing the pro-
aaaaion xunul1 ha nrar N rai1a lauu CAV
tain Wyman stated that the order OF pro-
cessi0n had not been yet definitely deter
mined so as to be fit for publication, but
that it soon would be. He said that If it
was all the same to the committee the
would prefer to form the process
ZION in the lower part of town, owing TO
the fact that the ground was more regular
He was informed that that was entirely
eft to the discretion of the Marshal.
The hour at which the procession should
tart was then ~canvassed, and in order
hat those in business might have tim
,fter closing to be present, al well as to ac-
country visitors the. hour
houId be fixed at IL O'Clock.
Mr.. Heyman in a neat little speech sug-
that while business firms and the
sex generally had been to q certain ex-
tent c~nvassed by the committees no effort
had been Made to approach the ladies OF
the city, and the meeting took SO favorably
othe suggestion that they unanimously
delegated thaG duGy to the bleaming young
man who proposed it, who received with
becoming modesty the f1attering opinion OF
the members present as to his fitness. Mr..
will therefore call upon the female
OF the population to solicit their
contributions to the fund.
There being other business classes who |
mad not been thoroughly canvassed, Messrs.
Pettes, AIbertson, Drum and Heyman were
appointed to attend to their cases.
It was called to the attention OF the
that responses to the call for parties
room to report Mr.. Drum had not
been as liberal as they ought. There would
10 a large floating population in town at
light to care for, andif those who have any
communications to spare at all will accept
his as an invitation and report to Mr.. T..
!. Drum at his Office in the Barnard block,
,he expected crowd Of visitors will be more
provided for than will other
be the case.
The report Of the Committee on Invita-
ions was presented showing that invita-
ions had been sent to all the officials in
he Territory from the Governor down,
every known society and organiza-
ion that could be reached by letter.
The committee then adjourned to Sun
lay morning at IL o'clock.
