President Mckinley will have to be
In good many different places at one
and the same time next summer. You
can get all kinds of news just now re-
garding the presidents vacation plans.
Among the latest reports to reach Mon
fana is the word that he will come
West probably in July. and that Sen
ator Carter has so fixed things up that
across Montana, sure.
| Per contra, some of the eastern news
papers are positive that the presidents
summer schedule Is made up, and they
do not let it include even a hasty run
Ito the Rocky Mountain region. Core
spondents who profess to know all
about it are saying that when he quits
Washington the president will strike
out for peace and quiet and rest, ana
that he expects to find these at Non
quit. That is a New England seacoast
resort, and a charming spot it is. If
Mr. Mckinley goes there, he will have
Grover Cleveland for a neighbor-near

poses of courtesy: Mr.. Cleveland's cot
tage is at the upper end of Buzzard's
Bay, while Nonquitt is on a cape at
1he lower end.
The Standards Washington office has
tried to get on the track of a definite
announcement of the presidential pro-
gramme fofsathe summer, but thus far

are urging. however, that there are
next-year votes for him in a swing
around the western circle, and they be-
lieve that they can make up the I'M
stable chief executives mind for him
and start him westward-ho. Manifest
ny the West will welcome the presi-
dent, If he comes this way-that is the
side of the Mississippi.
According to all accounts. President
McKinIey's wish is to make the tour
of the Yellowstone park. If he makes
that trip, he will always be glad that
he did it. While the cities of Montana
have not hitherto had an opportunity
to throw wide open their hospitable
the trip through the park, if he makes
1t, will not be the first time that Won
derland has been visited by a presi-
dent of the United States. During his
presidential term-it was in the summer
of 1SSS-President Arthur made the
hour of the park. He was the central
figure in a distinguished party-among
Mt
Robert T. Lincoln and Senator Vest of
Missouri. One member of the company
was John Schuyler Crosby, governor of
the territory of Montana; old-timers in
these parts need not be told that John
Schuyler was one of the bright and
shining lights in the party-he surely
could be counted on to attend to that.
Under the modern methods in the
park, President Mckinley can make the
round trip an easy one. The Arthur
party roughed it. Its members trav-
eled on horseback under escort of a
full troop of cavalry, and the distance
covered was $50 miles. President Ar
thur was a good liver; one can easily
believe that the man who wrote the
story Of the Arthur expedition did not
grossly exaggerate things when he
penned a glowing sentence saying that
the Arthur party was accompanied by
one of the most complete pack trains
ever organized in this or any other
country"
President Mckinley will not stand in
need of pack train or military escort.
He can drive through the park in a
Concord coach, sleep at comfortable no.
tells, eat with d fork. obtain ice for his
aemonade-and things, get baths and
otherwise live like a Christian, and
"do" the whole region comfortably in
six days. And if he does this, when
he goes back East he will speak the
truth when he tells all his relatives and
friends there that in neglecting to
visit the Yellowstone park they are
missing the trip Of their lives.
