Recalls Days Before the War.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 2.-For the first
time within the memory of the pres
ent generation a chief executive Of
the nation today arrived in the
Mound city by steamboat and depart
, ed from the city in the same manner.
President Theodore Roosevelt, on
board the steamboat Mississippi from
Keokuk, reached st. Louis shortly
after o'clock this morning. Ac-
companying him on another craft
were the members of the Inland Wa
terways commission.
The president found st. Louis
awaiting him in gala attire, Steam
boats and other craft gayly bedecked
with flags filled the river. Not since
the palmy days before the war has
st. Louis seen so many steamboats, at
one time. They came from Evans
vile, Cairo, Alton, Kansas City, Keo-
kuk and other river points and
brought delegations of business men
and others desirous of impressing
upon the president and the members
of the waterways commission the i'm
portance of the river traffic and the
urgent necessity for Improvements in
the Mississippi and its chief tribu-
taries.
AS the presidents boat came into
sight 1t was greeted with deafening
shrieks from the Steamboat whistles,
which were echoed by the cheers of
thousands of people who lined the
river front and occupied positions OF
vantage on the wharfs and on the
two great bridges spanning the Mis-
sissippi here.
1t was a distinguished assemblage
that greeted the president when he
landed near the foot of Locust sereet.
Included among those present were
the governors of more than 20 states,
members of congress, the mayor and
other representatives of the city of
st. Louis and reception committee
of the Business Mems league, which
had the general arrangements in
charge

held by Secretary Dan p. Smythe and
others Of the state association. In
