Flowerree and F. R. Van de Putte, the
executive committee in charge of the
excursion are enthusiastic over the way
the names are coming and on Saturday
Mr. Lee issued a warning that all who
have not sent their names to the com
mittee should act promptly, lest they
decide too late.
Bringe Checks Along.
Mr. Matthews was in Great Falls Sat

men whose subscription to the excursion
party be had secured. Mr. Matthews is
a banker at Stanford. Mr. McDonald is
president of the Stockmen's Bank at
Choteau and he guarantees the fare ..for

banking business at Fort Benton and he
says there will certainly be 10 or 12

tance in a few days. Mr. Matthews
turned in the names of Frank Meredith,
William I. Hughes and A. E. Edwards
to Mr. Lee.
Committeemen Flowerree and Van de

secured the subscription of Mayor Louis

Spokane Union Stockyards company
saying that E. E. Flood, vice president
of the Exchange National Bank of Spo
kane will be here for the dedication and
to make the trip to Billings with the
Great Falls lVrty. Grant Copeland,
vice president and general manager of
the Spokane Cattle Loan company, has
also made a reservation and will be here
for the dedication.
Wil Ble 150 In Party.
It appears to the committee now that
it is only a question of how big the party
carried on the special excursion will be.
The original plan was to make it a party
of not less than 100. It then shifted
to the plan of not more than 150. Chair
man Lee says he proposes to take re
quests for reservations just as late as
possible to handle them and he has
found there is such a generous response
to the announcement that the big party
will go to Billyings by special excursion
that he has decided to make no limit on
the number.
