SAW THE RAINBOW"
AN APPRECIATIVE NOTICE FROM
PETERSBURG, VA.

One of the local papers along the route
of The Stars Special Trade Train was the
Petersburg Va) Appeal. 1t had this to
say of the "RainboW' cars:
The special of The Star newspaper of
Washington, d. c., which is travelling
through the states Of Maryland, Virginia
and North Carolina, advertising The
Greater Washington arrived here lasts
Wednesday night from Suffolk and re-
manned at the union depot in this city I'M
til about noon yesterday, when it left for
Roanoke touching at the different towns
along the line. The train consists of two
express cars and one Pullman car The
EXPRESS cars were filled with exhibits of
the various firms in Washington whose
names were painted in large letters on the
side of the cars. The party also had along
with them views of furnished rooms at
the White House by Washington mer-
chants. The party expected to spend last
night at Bedford City. The train is in
charge of Mr.. John l.. Tucker of the Wash

HARRISONBURG, Va, October 13.-The
Greater Washington movement brought to
the attention of the people of Harrison
burg and vicinity Monday by the arrival
of The Stars exposition Flyer, received
a boost here which bids fair TO bring flu
ture results to the national capital as a
commercial center. The matter has been
freely discussed among the business men
since the visit of the special. and all ap-
pear willing to give Washington a show
provided the various trade organizations
in the city can compel the railroads to
give quick and satisfactory freight service
between Washington and the valley. While
the various houses represented on the
train did business in Harrisonburg. that
is only fair sample of what can be done
If the trade and facilities are properly
looked after. The representatives with
the train made a very favorable impress
sion in Harrisonburg.
w. j. Osborne of the Southern Printers
Supply Company probably secured the big
gest order in Harrisonburg, contracting
with the News-Register Company for a
new $500 newspaper press, to be deliv-
cred when the company's new building
which will be the finest newspaper build
ing in the valley, and perhaps in the state
Is completed.

continued the press representative. land it
is hoped there will be representation of
cavalry, infantry or artillery upon the
grounds during the time the exposition is
being held. The naval display will surpass
anything of the kind that has ever been
attempted in this country, several foreign
countries already having signifed their in
tention of sending ships. England will
send her latest addition to her navy. the
Dreadnaught, which is the largest battle
ship af1oat.
Chicago had it's midway, St. Louis it's
pike and Portland its trail. and jamestown
is going to have it's warpath. The attrac-
lions on the warpath will excel those of
any other exposition, practically all the
concessions having been taken by people
who known to be able to put up nrst-
class attractions"
In conclusion Mr.. Snyder said the
grounds are in such condition that an in
teresting sight is already presented. Thou
sands of persons have visited the grounds,
the crowds being particularly large on
Sundays. The Powhattan Guards, as the
police are to be known, are not yet in
charge of the grounds, but a small force of
them will be placed on duty in short
while.

That the efforts of The Star in behalf of
Greater Washington are appreciated is
shown by the action of the Northwest Sub
urban Association, which at it's last meet
ing passed a resolution of thanks in con-
nection with the special southern train.
The resolutions, which speak for them
selves, follow:
Whereas. The Evening Star Company, at
its own expense and to further the COM
mercial interests of Washington, has sent
train through several of the southern
Cities containing exhibits of the CONNER

The tour of the Greater Washington Spe-
cial is thing of the past now, and there's
nothing on earth to do, SO far as that par
ticular proposition is concerned, but to
watch and wait for the results Of the twen-
ty-three days of missionary work to ma
terialize OF course there are Just oceans
of work that may be done in the way Of
following up this initial effort, but l mean
that it will be impossible to tell just how
our Greater Washington train impressed
the sections visited until some little time
rolls around.
THE good that men do lives after them"
says a fossiized old saw. Let it be hoped
that the good that the Special accom-
pished will not only live, but will grow
up into a husky, strapping commercial
asset and trade bringer. Certainly every
incident of the trip pointed to the fact that
the territory contiguous to Washington
through which the Special was sent as
wheeled missionary was just about ripe
for some such move Everywhere. as l en-
deavored to indicate in my dispatches from

the bell so it could be heard as far as New

taken into consideration that these same
towns had commercial aspirations of their
own. Lynchburg, for instance was one.
The merchants the big commercial and
business men of that community were too

The Star Special made its last
stop and a very cheerful finale with
the banquet at the New Willard
last evening. The tour of the train,
at once unique and successful in the
annals OF commercial Washington,
is counted a great success by every
concern which participated in two
features but one was eX-
peCted at the outset-i.e., fine mis-
sionary work. Not few of the
business mer entered into the en-
terprise for the sole reason that
they thought it would be beneficial
to Greater Washington in an adver-
Using way. The possibility of do
ing business TO any great or even
small extent did not enter their
minds. Yet more than 100000 of
sales were made on the trip, and
the vista of future commercial
progress which was opened up sur
prised even the most pessimistic.
The train was a 60 from start to
finish-from the time the first
cricket chirped until the last ham
disappeared.
