w remembered. For instance Fisher
Harris, secretary of the club Mr. Har-
ris made a different speech ana an eN-
ceIIent speech on every occasion Another
contributor to the general enjoyment was
John Reeves, father of the general pas
senger agent. Although his hair and
beard are snow white. Mr.. Reeves
marched right along with the boys, his
stems as brisk. his nerves as steady,
his eyes as clear and his head as hlgh
as the youngest of them Indeed Mr..
Reeves by his example compelled the
kids of the crowd to stand steady.
Other members of the party who old
much to make the trip worth while were
J. A Foley of the Ill. Central, Geo. w
Morgan of the Vienna cafe, W. Z. Adams
of the Utah National bank Senator
stephen II. Love. A: E. CuIbertson OF the
National Bank of the Republic. Council
man T. r. Black and II. A Schweikhart
of the Salt Lake Sadlery company, w.
S. Henderson, John Il Winder jr., ana
Ed Naylor of Hemenway & Moser. But
to make up list of all the good fellows
would be to print the entire personnel.
All hands were absolutely all right. The
best test is the unanimous verdict that
if the trip were to be made all over again
and if those Wild went could pick out
the party, not name would be kept off
the list
The band, by the way, never tired.
Leader Zimmerman had his men under
perfect control at all times and they
WORKED as rev ullSlClduS nave DcNu
upon to work. They played in parades,
they played in concerts and at dances,
and they would have played all night
as well as all day if anybody had been
hardened enough TO demand the service
of them.
Credit is due to the entire train crew.
Conductor T. W. Charlton went out with
the train and stayed with it to the end.
He was on duty or subject TO call at
every minute of the entire time Never
once did his zeal flag. His passengers
he regarded as his guests and every man
on the train his friend for life Engineer
HepDerly, Head Brakeman Walters,
Flagnan Spencer and Fireman Hill were
also with the train throughout, though
they were relieved at various times and
slept on the train.
Pullman Conductor Z. A Cook never
seemed TO sleep. At all hours of the
day or night he was accessible and the
passengers with one accord pronounced
him the best they had ever Travelled with.
The same zeal extended to Conductor
Brown of the diner, to Chef Bills and the
efficient corps of walters, to the Pull
man porters No travellers ever journey
ed more comfortably. Mighty few have
been as comfortable The cordialiay of
the receptions extended by Idaho to the
visitors and some of the stories of a
personal character must necessarily be
deferred until some future time Just
one thing needs to be said here. 1t is
that the first excursion of the Salt Lake
Commercial club to a sister state will
not be the last. that il viii be an annual
event and that it's popularity will grow
until men will be fighting for space on
the train.
The train left Boise at o'clock yester-
day morning. making no stop, except at
Nampa for ice and water, until Amer
lean Falls was reached. The people of
this pretty city had planned to take the
visitors out for a drive and to entertain
them at trout luncheon. The program
and the luncheon were abandoned, how
ever, because of the earnest desire of the
Salt Lakers to get home again. Mr.. Har-
ris. on behalf of the club, briefly express
ed the regret of the exiles over the neces-
sity for hurrying away, the band played
and the visitors went on their way.
At Pocatello a stop of fifteen minutes
was made. Here visitors were met by
a number of PocatelloS most beautiful
young women, with whom the Salt LAX
ers had danced at the charity ball on
Monday night The time was pleasantly
spent in visiting around and in music
by the band. The home stretch was en-
tered at 3:45.
