En- ROUTE, May 29.-At 10 O'clock sharp
on Monday morning the cry, Cali aboardw
went up in vociferous tones from the healthy
lungs of Eph Evans, the veteran conductor.
1t was caught up and re-echoed by about a
hundred other voices, and it must be adj
mitted that there was something about the
manner in which the cry was enunciated
that gave you the impression that these
gentlemen had made the same remark be-
fore. 1t was the united effort of party of
jolly knights of the punch, who, with their
ladies and entertainers, were starting for
| the far West to learn a little of something
about the great country of which they are
useful citizens
The engine sighed deeply and with a
| mighty effort pulled out of the union depot
| at Minneapolis as fine train as ever rolled
| ON rails. 1t consisted of FIVE elegant Pull
man palace cars, a special officers car, a
| very handsome Northern Pacific dining car,
storerOom car for the use of the latter, a
breezy smoker and baggage car. AS the
train moved off loud cheers and ''God-
speeds were raised by hundreds of friends
on the platform and answered by the ladies
and gentlemen tourists Oh the cars by way
ing of hats and handkerchiefs.
| The train was in charge of Messrs. George
B. Clason, W. S. Kemp and D. II. Moon,
| and soon after the start the former gentle
| men announced to the inmates of each car
| that the cities of st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis had got through with them and that
thay were now the guests of the ST. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba and the Northern
Pacific railways, and they were at liberty
to do as they pleased in the state of Mime
| in q forri Of no1yn
Montana" We were no sooner under way

their quota. Following is a correct list:

For few miles everything passed off
nicely and good time was made, but as if to
prove that conductors are no more exempt
from the mishaps of travel, it was discov-
cred that we had bad hOt-box and over
an hour was delayed in curing it. 1t was
amusing to see the great committee of con-
ductors all wanting to boss the job. After
we finally got off we made good time run
ming in one place eleven miles in ten min
utes. A splendid dinner was served in the
dining car under the supervision of Mr. j.
j. Strong, chief of the dining car service of
the Northern Pacific railway, and it took
about three hours to serve the party. At 7
o'clock we arrived at Moorhead and found
fine supper awaiting us at the palatial
Grand Pacific The day has been beautiful
and the visitors are in extacies over the
country, which to them is revelation.
