Cinnabar, April l6-President
Roosevelt came into Fort Yellowstone
today looking to be in splendid health
and enthusiastic over the good time
he has had. Secretary Loeb met him
at Major Pitchers headquarters and
the two transacted some routine bus
mess. the first the president has done
with his secretary since he went into
the park. After his return from his
visit to the president, Secretary Loeb
issued the following statement:
Major Pitcher reports that the
president and his party have just re-
turned from their eight days horse
back trip in the north of the park
and along the Yellowstone. The party
consisted of the president. Major
Pitcher and John Burroughs, together
with an orderly. the scouts and the
packers with the mule train. All the
party are in excellent health, and not
an accident of any kind occurred. On
entering the park the president in
formed Major Pitcher that he would
not under any circumstances fire a
shot at anything while in the park.
and took neither rife nor shotgun
with him The party had some good
fishing and the president and Mr., Bur
roughs spent a large part OF their
time in following and watching at
close quarters the great herds Of
game, chiefly elk. buffalo, mountain
sheep, deer and antelope.
The party start tomorrow for the
interior of the park to visit the gey-
sers and perhaps the falls Of the Vel

His itinerary was arranged months
ago and that much as he would desire

The advance guard of large party of

suit of their visit it is learned that quite

Around here harvesting is about
finished. All that is left being few
fields of late sown grain, that beyond
question will be fully ripened before the
first killing frost. From several quarters
reports come of threshing and the yield
generally is better than predicted at the
time harvest started.
Many threshing outfits in this vicinity
are working hort-handed, owing to the
impossibility to get men. AS much as
three dollars day is being paid and
offered for help but even that amount
does not prove to be a strong enough
inducement to bring in a supply of
thresher men adequate to the demand.

receipt was for the entire funds of the
two territories, which states there were
only 50 in the treasury, with no furni-
