RO0}fv[[TJ Trip
Through STATE

Thomas Summons of Tacoma, pri-
rived in Spokane this morning from
Walla Walla, where he left President
RoOsevelts train. Mr.. Sammons has
been on the presidents train since 1t
left Tacoma. He said:
president Roosevelt expressed
himself as expecting to see some re-
markable things in Washington, but
that the state had surpassed his ex-
pectations. The president spoke of
our humber and fishing industries on
the coast and was greatly impressed
with the agricultural wealth of the
east and southeast.
During our ride across the state
the president had much to say about
irrigation and his vi can only mean
advancement in that line to the state.
His train is running on time and he
will likely reach Spokane as per
schedule"
Mr. Summons stated that after
each stop the messengers on the
presidents special go through the
train and check up on the party and
IL anybody Is missing a search is at
once instituted. At Tacoma New
York Sun reporter missed the train
and he was compelled to charter an
engine and make a mile a minute run
to catch up.

here. The noise ended there. His
great welcome was from the eyes,
threats and hearts Of his fellow coun-
trymen. who had waited hours for
his coming. as a great family might
look forward to a visit from an hon
ored brother.
The city certainly wore it's gala
attire, the finest garb of flags thus
far in its history. Riverside avenue
was q mass OF bunting from end to
end. its buildings being covered from
basement to roof. The street had
been freshly swept. lawns and parks
newly mown, and the houses along
the course Of the presidents drive
showed an appreciation of the honor
done their occupants.
Spokane was the first city of i'm
portance at which the presidents
train has stopped since turning home
ward from the great transcontinen-
tai trip. Almost two-thirds of q
14,000-mile triumphal journey through
% states and 100 cities was completed
when the train reached the station.

kane, but for the Inland Empire Of

The drive then led through
Brownies addition to Occur d'Alene
park. where the school children had
been assembling since noon, half
holiday having been given them.
They were massed before taste
fully draped speakers stand from
which the president addressed the
children. His appearance was the
occasion Of wild shouts and cheering
and waving of flags in the hands Of
the children.
The High school yell was also a
part OF the presidents salute. The
line Of carriages moved down the
north side of the park.
The president upon alighting took
a walk leading down through the
center Of the massed children to the
speakers stand, which had been taste
fully decorated for the occasion. On
either side of the walk along which
the president passed was a double
file Of school children. The front
files were Of little boys and girls
