duct q street carnival III this city the

pose Of the carnival was to raise

Billings did not have an Independence
day celebration. preferring to wait a
month at least before inviting people
Of the surrounding towns and cities
to participate in the big carnival.

plotting the resources Of the city was
started yesterday. when five business
men who attended the meeting pledged
themselves to give $50 each and
another gave SO. The subscribers
were: N. B. George, Billings Brewing
company, Bert Albin, B. q. shorey,
Billings Lumber company and Roy
Wilkinson.
The proposition offered by the rep
resentative of the Parker shows was
to bring their shows. to Billings for
a week or more the latter part ot
August and to give a carnival under
the auspices Of the chamber of com.
merce, giving the commercial body q
certain percentage Of the receipts.
The carnival company's man wanted
a guarantee Of $3.50. however, be.
fore he would consent to bringing his
shows to Billings.

osition to the business men. ". II.
Donovan was opposed to II, as were
w. B. George and Bert shorey. Bill
Enright, Or. o. b. Prickett. Austin
North and w. W. Beeman also favored
the carnival movement, but the latter
two gentlemen believed that better
terms could be secured in the matter
of the percentage to be received by
the chamber Of commerce. opposi-
ton to the carnival finally prevailed
and the pledging Of money to support
the INSTRUMENTATION resulted.
