BUDGET OF INFORMATION.
Carlton County Preparing to Send
Two Floats to the Big
Event.

A one-fare rate on the railroads
from territory within 200 miles of St
Paul, is now assured for the car
nival season, Jan. 20 to 30, 1S96-that
is, the one-fare rate is to be good
on three days to be selected by the
carnival officers. Tickets purchased
on the days selected will be sold at
one fare for the round trip, and will
be good to return until Jan. 80. On
all other days within the dates spe-
Gifted a rate of one fare and third
will be given.
These concessions on the part of
the railroads will undoubtedly bring
large crowds of people to st. Paul
for the carnival; and from beyond the
borders of this state and Wisconsin
will come other crowds, attracted
by the programme of novel amuSe-
ments and standard sports. 1t is GER
tain that special rates will be Of
fered out of cities like Chicago, Mil
waukee, Omaha, Winnipeg, Fargo,
Des Moines and many other places.
The decision on special rates was
announced yesterday by Chairman
Caldwell, of the Western Passenger
association, and will be officially
bulletined at once. AS soon as this
is done the carnival officers will pro-
ceed to put out their advertising
matter. Already a great amount of
preliminary advertising has been
sent to hundreds of towns in the
United States and Canada. Secretary
Bowlby and his assistant, under di-
rection of President Bean, have not
lost any time in waiting for some
thing to turn up, but have proceeded
on the theory that the faith Of ST.
Paul is pledged to give the North
western world the greatest season Of
winter entertainment and legitimate
cold weather sport ever pulled off
in the United States.
An unexpected, but none the less
welcome, feature of the carnival will
be furnished by Carlton county. The
leading men Of the county are plan
ming two Of the most magnificent
allegorical floats ever seen in a pa
rade. One will represent the reign
of the Indian in the unbroken will
derness, while the other will be de-
signed to show the splendid devel-
opment and generous resources of
Carlton since it has been settled by
the white man. The possibilities for
showing up their county at carnival
time impressed the hustlers of that
region very forcibly, and they are
going to put up something that will
be talked of for many day. Other
counties may attempt similar liv-
ing lessons in the shape OF floats,
but the Carlton idea will be hard to
beat.
All chairmen of the subcommittee
of the general programme commit
tee have been called to meet with
Mr.. Scott, the chairman, this after
noon at 4:3O at headquarters. 1t is

Carnival headquarters begin to look
like a museum, since all the old-time
banners, shields and trophies have been
dug up from their hiding places and
hung on the walls. Thsre are scores
of them, and eXclamations of pleasure
are universal with all the veterans of
other carnival campaigns who drop in.
All persons desiring to participate in
the reorganization of the st. George
Snow Shoe club should be at headquar-
ters in the Germania Life building next
Monday evening. There is no time to
be lost, if uniforms are to be secured in
time to participate in the excursions to
othcr towns which will soon begin.
Already invitations are being received
for clubs to pay visit to towns within
100 miles of st. Paul, and the organi-
cations which first report themselves
in readiness will reap most of the joy.
Next Monday evening the Boston
club will make it's second appearance
on the streets The boys will march
to Aurora park to formally open it for
the winter season. At the park the
club will be the guests Of Messrs. Wolf
and Metzdorf, and a jolly hour will be
spent in the big warming room.
