The only successful initiative sought to decide next fall whether the state should issue $3,000.

In May 1908 the Miles City Black Top Electric theater collapsed under heavy snow, ending a brief run as the area’s first light tight cinema. Charles H. Carter, then a drum player and projection helper, helped redesign the tent layout using four corner poles and sagging ropes to prevent future collapses.
