FOUR MORE SPEECHES.
Otherwise the Trip to Grand Island,
Neb.. Was Uneventful.

E Grand Island, Neb.. May 9.-Despite
the rain, 5000 people had gathered at
the Union Pacific at $40 o'clock, to see
and hear President Roosevelt. The
President. stepping out on the rear
platform. lost no time in greeting the
crowd. After referring to his former
visit here. his address took more
general turn. He had barely closed
when his train pulled out of the yard
amid shouts and hurrahs.
With only four stops for speeches.
the trip of the Presidential special
from Denver to this city was unevent-
full. The speeches were all brief and
were devoted almost entirely to the
discussion of the country through
which the President passed and to the
subject of irrigation. The President
spoke at North Platte, Neb., where he
said in part:
"rhis is the third time in recent
years l have been in North Platte. and
it is n peculiar pleasure to be with you
once again. This neighbOrhoOd is one
of the pioneer spots of the West in ir-
rig;ttion. 1T was your good fortune to
lead i'm showing just what could be
done by means of irrigation for the
prosperity of this country. Here. as
everywhere else in the West. l see men
who wear the button that shows that
they fought in the great Civil War. In
the Civil War the winning or the los
ing of that fight depended upon the
average quality of the average soldier.
We saved the nation because the aver
age man was of the right stamp.
"Two years ago l went from the At
lantic to the Pacific. l have just been.
4 little while ago, down In Texas as
had been previously in Maine and Ore
gon and there is one thing that strikes
ME more than anything else in going
through this wonderful country Of
ours. ard that is fundamentally where
ever you address n crowd of Americans
it is IA pretty delighted crowd"
