showers of rain at intervals, but the
skies cleared up about 10:30 O'Clock,
and the remainder Of the trip
through the picturesque valley Of
the Columbia was made in bright
sunlight, which disclosed the mount
sins and Cascades through which

nd grandeur. One of the pleasant
est incidents of the run from Port

The entire party, including the
president and ladies, left the train
for closer inspection and spent sew
eral minutes viewing the scene and
gathering flowers and wild ferns as
mementoes. Short stops were also
made at Bonneville, Cascades, and
Hood River stations. There was a
general handshaking at each station,
and much enthusiasm was mani
tested. The president and postmas-
ter general made brief speeches al
Hood River station. The first stop
Of any Importance was at The
Dalles, where the president received
an enthusiastic welcome. The presi
dent was welcomed by the mayor
of the city, and made an address
from the rear platform; In the course
of his remarks the president said, /
quite sympathlze with the sugges-
ton of your mayor, that it Is one of
the proper government functions to
improve and open to safe navigation
the great water ways Of our country.
| (Cheers.) The government of the
United States has reserved to itself
the exclusive control of all navigable
inland waters, and that being

the government to see that people
have the best possible use of them.

cheap transportation and touch
points that are often either for econ
omy or natural reasons inaccessible
to railway traffic.
