thing necessary to make the affair a sue

at the Board of Trade rooms last night to
select the executive committee. There was
a proposition to appoint @ committee made
up Of one representative from each ward to

could be laid before the executive commit
tee of the National Educational association,
which will be here between Aug. Is and
Sept. l. This plan gave way to the one
adopted, which will, however, provide for
the canvass. The executive committee will
name a subcommittee to meet the repre-
sentatiyes Of the association on their ar
rival here next month. 1t is
very likely that this subcommittee
will meet the representatives at St. Paul,
where a special car has been rendered by
the railroad officials, to take the
party to the National park and bring them
on to Helena. The first offer of entertain
ment to this committee came from the Hell
ena Electric Street Railway company of a
special observation car to be lun over the
entire system at the pleasure OF the visitors.
A CANVASS of the hotels and places where
sleeping accommodations may be obtained
has been made by the Board of Trade. 1t
shows that 5000 people can be cared for.
When the canvass of private residences is
completed it is estimated it will show that
nc many more can be accommodated. In
Toronto the owners of private residences
made it a matter Of pride in volunteering
to provide for the visitors at nominal rates.
The result was that Il great many more
could have been housed and fed than there
we're present at the convention.
The one thing now needed is a pavilion
to seat 5000, in which the association can
hold it's sessions. This proposition will be
taken in hand by the executive committee.
The executive committee of the Educa-
fed that Helena has a requisite number of
smaller halls and meeting places whore tho
different branches of the main body can
hold their sessions.
A. W. Lyman, of the committee which
went to Toronto, made a verbal report to
tho hoarl fIhara xpnc Iiff1o t0 v,o1ya lr,orr,,
he said, in. addition to what has been
printed. When the committee got to
Toronto they found that the Seattle cham
Der of had been quietly working
since last February to secure the meeting,
and had a delegation Of eight members
There was also a strong movement among
to carry the next convention to
Saratoga, but after a weeks sharp
canvass Helena secured the vote
ct preference from the board OF
to the executive committee with instruc-
tions to inspect the places Of first and Sec
ond choice. The vote Of the directors gave
Helena first choice by twenty-three out of
forty, and sixteen for Saratoga as second
choice. In the convention itself Helena
was the choice of thres-fourths of the
teachers. At the conclusion of Mr.. Ly-
mans remarks, II. H. Howey moved a vote
of thanks to the committee.
Representatives of the local camp of Sons
of Veterans, who are endeavoring to secure
the next annual convention of that order
here in 1892. will be aided by the following
committee appointed last night: A. w. Ly-
man. James b. Walker, G.. A. B%roadwater.
George Z. Boos, Barnard Brown, L.. II.
Hershtield, Il. G. Power, William Muth, e.
w. knight, John w. Eddy.
A committee was also appointed to act
with the Z. o. S. A., who are also trying to
secure a convention here in 1892.
q. L. Perry's proposition to establish a
mining candle mandatory came up again.
The matter is in such shape now that a
committee is engaged in raising a loan Of
$4,000 which will be used in securing the
proper plant on which a mortgage will be
placed to secure tho loan. Subscriptions
have been received so far from the follow
ing: 3. T. Hauser $1,000, L. G. Phelps
$1,000, A. M. Hotter $500.
The project to establish a broom factory
met with little encouragement. Several
propositions of this kind have been made
from time to time to the board. but none
of them have been looked upon favorably.
A vote of thanks was also rendered to Su-
premc Master Workman Kinsley and James
Sullivan for their effores at Detroit.
