The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1909-07-06

PO1GlOllS Ol bIl0 lduQs Will nave no
place in the annals of the celebra-
tlon here this year, and, outside
of few minor burns and bruises
and frightened horse or two,
there has been none of the bad
features attendant upon the
Fourth in this city.
To state just where and how
the people Of Billings spent the
Fourth and yesterday, which was
generally observed throughout
the city as holiday, would be a
difficult task.
The railroads report that out
going trains bound for the noun
tains and trout streams were
crowded to capacity on Saturday
and Sunday and host Of people
who do not enjoy the noise and
excitement of a real American
Fourth chose this method of
the holiday. But none
of the fishermen have returned
with stories of luck which they
can substantiate. Most of them
grudgingly admit that the waters
of the streams were altogether too
high for good fishing and the
same old story has been repeated
in about ten days the fishing
will be fine.
But the number who left this
city to spend the Fourth was more
than compensated for by the num-
Der who, in spite of the fact that
Billings had no regular celebra-
ton, came here to pass the Fourth
and fifth. The hotels and room
ing houses of the city have been
taxed to their fullest capacity
during the past two days; ranch
ers and farmers for many miles
around have been in the city to
witness some of the events in con-
nection with the day, and strang-
ers from northern Wyoming and
the eastern portions of the state
have fiocked here without num-
ber.
Perhaps the biggest drawing
card was the celebration carried
on at Central park, where a wild
west show was given by the man
ayers of the resort. Sunday and
Monday the grandstand and
bleachers of the park were taxed
to the utmost and over a thousand
people stood in the hot sun in or
der to witness the feats of PROV
ess which the riders displayed.
Steer roping, bronco busting and
a hundred and one other stunts
which are usually attendant upon
a show of that character, were
presented.
The two ball games between
Red Lodge and Billings also at
tracted a full quota of the fans of
the city. Billings was victorious
in both games, winning the Sun
day game by score of 13 to 5,
and yesterdays game by score
of Z to 4.
Yesterday evening the Second
band, augmented by all
its former members and number
ing nearly so pieces, gave an open
air concert on the streets. The
band, under it's new leadership,
acquitted itself with credit and
the people of this city would be
pleased to hear that it will appear
more often in public in the. fu-
ture.
Nor was there a lacking of fire
works and noise makers to give
the Fourth a truly Independence

Experiments with New Safety Device
for Foggy Weather.

The United States government is ez.
perimenting IN San Francisco bay
with a safety device for foggy weather
which is remarkable in the uniQueness
of its idea. 1t is nothing less than a
fog buoy which will make no noise OF
its own. but which will be expected to
catch the sound waves of a vessels
whistle and echo them back across the
water.
The buoy. or structure. is construct
ed of corrugated iron sheeting, placed
on piles, and built in three wings
placed at different angles. Each wing
is 80 feet square.
The idea was given birth accidental
ly. There has always been much
trouble in the upper part Of San Fran
cisco bay because the shore lights
cannot be seen when the weather is
bad. Pilots and shippers began to no.
tice, however. how clearly the CORFU
gated steel warehouses around Benicia
returned the sound of their whistles,
and for some time have been guiding
their way along by the echoes. The
government is confident that the new
buoys will act in the same manner.
