 FREDERICK, Okla, April 1O-Pres- ident Roosevelt Is now separated from civilization for long hunting trip. He is in camp with his comrades in the chase at Panther Springs. on the Red river, fourteen miles east of Frederick.
 Great preparations have been made for the hunt which started this morn. ing and will continue for some days.
 MT. Roosevelt was in happy frame of mind when he left Frederick. He looked forward with keen pleasure to the outdoor life which he will lead for the next few days.
 A. story is being told here to the eff. feet that before leaving Washington President Roosevelt was bantered more or less by Miss Alice Roosevelt, who expressed some doubt as to the number of bear her father would bag. She challenged him to send her pair of cubs, the story goes.
 "I'll send you grizzly clubs sure," he is reported to have said. e*
 "All right" replied Miss Alice, "but if you don't you will never hear the last of it."
 The president is accompanied on his expedition by General s. B. M. Young, Colonel Cecil Lyon, Captain Burke Bur nett, an ex-Confederate; Sloan Simp- son, member of Roosevelt's rough rider regiment; Lieutenant c. R. For tesque, Dr. Alexander Lambert of New York, J. R. Abernathy, wolf catcher; Captain Patrick Dooling and Captain William Mcdonald, guides. Dooling was guide of General Grenville M. Dodge when the latter laid out the Texas Pacific railroad. Mcdonald is captain of the Texas rangers. Both are familiar with the country here abouts and know all about the game too. They were cordially received when they boarded the special at Fort Worth.
 At Frederick, Okla., President Roose. welt received great ovation and spoke in part as follows:
 '"The next time come to Oklahoma I trust I will come to state, and it won't be my fault if this is not so. I greet the veterans of the civil war who came here to greet the president, be- cause we are one people and one coun- try and not to be divided forever. I am glad to see Quanah Parker, who has done so we'll with his farm. One thing of which I am proud is that I have tried to give fair deal to every man.
 "Give the red man the same chance as the white. This country is founded on the doctrine of giving each man a fair show to see what there is in him. I have travelled four days in Texas, and I am now in what will soon be great state of the Union. There is nowhere feel more at home than in a town like this. have confidence in the character of the men and women who have come here. Ever since the Revolution we have been making new states. Now we are about at the close of this period. do not feel that I have to explain my policies to the Oklahoma people. Now I want four days of play. I hear you have plenty of jack rabbits and coyotes here. Give me fair show to have as much fun as even president oisc en, titled to. Goodby and good iuck.''r oA
 In a suit of rooms on the parlor floor of the Hotel Worth at Fort Worth the executive seat of the United States government has been temporarily es- tablished.
 After delivering the president at Frederick, Okla, into the hands of western friends, who have undertaken to furnish him with wholesome recrea- tion for a few days. the official escort boarded the presidential special and returned to Fort Worth.
 Secretary Loeb expects to receive word from the president to run the special train to Frederick on Thursday and on that day to start for western Colorado, whither the president will go to find larger game than abounds on the Red river, in Oklahoma.
 According to present plans, the public part of the western trip is ended. It is not expected that any stops will be made until the presidents train reaches Colorado Springs. There a stay of two hours is necessary, but the time is not for speechmaking.
