Upon their arrival the guests were re-
ceived by Delegate Carter, who escorted
them 10 the Montana club rooms. They
talked quite freely of their trip, and when
asked II the original plan of making pOliti-
cal addresses in the new states had been
abandoned, Mr.. Dorsey replied that the
campaign was not on vet. He said their
was only by the merest chance that they
concluded 70 come 10 Helena, though he
regretted now that be did not cut his visit
to Washington territory shorter, as be
would like 10 remain two OF three days

that settles il" said Dorsey, ''if l run up
against them the chances are we won't get
out of here for a month"
Perry Heath said the party had a most
enjoy able time wherever they stopped. At
Portland the board of trade gave them a
reception. They visited Seattle and from
there took sail up TO Victoria. Tacoma
was also visited and next Spokane, where
they spent two days. Owing to the burn
ing of the bridge at EvarO they devoted
one day to sport on the CGur d. Alene lake
where the time was passed IN fish
ing and rowing and each member
bore on his hands the unmlstakabIe evi
dence that it has been some time since any
of them handled an oar. After leaving
the lake they started westward again. haV-
ing concluded 20 go home via the Oregon
Short Line. When Wallula junction was
reached the programme was changed and
it was decided 10 visit Helena, having
heard that the bridge was repaired.
To-day they will take a run TO Marys-
Vile to see the great Drum Lummcn and in
The evening il is proposed to give them a
reception at the club. They may e in
duced to remain two days. From here
they go east, and when they arrive at ST
Paul will have been three weeks on the
journey.
CONGRESSMAN Dorsey eyaded any qnes-
ton on politics, but said no political
speeches had been made during the trip
and that they were not campaigning.
Perry Heath, whose name has appeared
daily in Helena for several months, is the
young and handsome member OF the party
and very pleasant gentleman. Gen.
brooke, who started out with them, is well
known in Montana, he having been in
command for several years at Fort Shaw.
Gen. Nathan GOff's brother, Charles is
the gentleman who succeeded Major. Geo.
w. 1ingle, of Glendive, as treasury agent

says this is his first visit TO Montana, but
he hopes IL will not be his last.
