Shoshone, Ida. May 28.-Every day it
takes the parade longer to pass given
point. This is not because it is increased
in numbers, but because some OF the eX-
lies are very, very tired. The one excep-
ton is Train Conductor Charlton, whose
eyles are as bright today as they were
long ago. for it seems long ago when the
merry party drew out of the Short Line
station in Salt Lake City. Exhausted by
the hospitality of Twin Fails, than which
there has been none better on the trip,
| the exiles turned in early with the eXce2-
ton of c. A. Quigiey, g. W. Morgan
! Genial George. J. A. Foley and others.
! who were entertained by Division super
! intendent Olmstesd at a midnight lunch
! con. In Mr.. Oimstead's car were served
/ all the delicacies the Twin Falls market
afforded. The travellers slept late this
morning. Some of them did not arise I'M
! til nearly o'clock
First Stop at Kimberley.
/ Many of the good people of Twin Falls
| were at the station to witness the de-
parture of the train for Kimberly, which
was the first stop. No program had been
| ARA nged at Kimberly for the entertain
ment of the visitors and during the short
/ stop there the band played several selec-
/ tions and Senator S. II. Love rendered
| "The Old Kentucky Home" When the
| itinerary was mapped out arrangements
were made for a stop at Hansen. Ihls
/ feature OF the program was abandoned
however, in order to arrive at Miner
| earlier. Il is at Miner that the great
+ impOundiBg dam of the Twin Falls Land
! & Water company is located Major F. F..
! Reed, r. NJ. McCullom, o. s. A. Bicket
and other officers of the company had
| accompanied the travellers from Twin
/ Falls TO Miner and welcomed them at
the latter point.
Welcome at Miner.
| Among other things Major Reed
/ said that while he had no de
sire to detract from the laurels
of the generals who won victory in times
/ of war, he thought that the greatest vic
tories were the victories Of peace, and
he referred to Mr.. Bickel, who as chief
engineer OF the company constructed the
/ dam and head gates at Miner and super
/ intended the other work there, as one OF
the generals of peace. who had accom-
plished great victory At the request
of President HallOran Mr. Quigley re-
sponded to Major Reeds address. Mr.
Quigley was in specially good form and
his remarks were perhaps the happiest
he has made on the trip. Following Mr.
QuiEley. Councilman Black, representing
/ the mayor of Salt Lake. spoke beautifully
I This concluded the informal program and
/ the visitors were conducted through TIE
offices Of the company and about the
grounds. The greatest charge Of pOWdss
| that had been used in the history Of the
operations Of the company, 20 600 pounds
( in all was scheduled to be exploded this
morning for the benefit of. the exiIes, bat
on account of the illness Of the wife OF a
construction foreman this feature Of the
program was abandoned
BurIey Visited.
At 1880 the train left Miner for Bur
ley. named in honor of the general pas
senger agent of the Oregon Short Line
Barley is a thriving little CITY Of about
100 people. Major Reed did the welcom-
ing stunt at Burnley also. During the
course of his remarks he took occasion
Z ~
ton section of the department of agricul-
ture because it has not completed the ir-
rigation work in the Buriey section. Major
Reed said that the people had waited pa
tiently and that they still lad faith in
their government. They believed that the
great work which has been promised will
be completed within comparatively brief
period
Major Reed then introduced President
Jack Of the Oakley stake. who talked elO-
quently Of his pleasure at seeing so many
of his old Utah friends among the visi-
tors and expressed the hope that most OF
them would have the pleasure of visiting
Burley early and often. President Jack
also discussed briefly the trade relations
between Utah and southern Idaho and
declared that the people of his section az
long as they could control the situation.
would continue to do the lions share Of
their business with Salt Lake City.
Hepburn at Rupert.
Mr.. Harris responded to President Jacks
address in his usual appropriate manner
The band gave a concert and the special
started for Hepburn. Hepburn NAV not
be as large as some of the other southern
Idaho cities. but its deficiency in Dopu-
lation was considerably more than offset
by the enthusiastic cordiality Of the wei
come extended to the wayfarers. Plans
had been made to stop in Hepburn for
an hour. but it was decided to hurry on
to Rupert. Later developments showed
that this was unfortunate. The people OF
Rupert had been notified that the train
would arrive at their city at 2:5O this afs
ternoon, and they had made all their pre-
paratiOns to begin their program of en-
tertainment at that hour The train as a
matter OF fact reached Rupert at 1880
nearly two hours ahead of the schedule
In consequence the abandonment of ths
former program was inevitable. Mayor
Mackay met the wayfarers and escorted
them TO the public square of the city.
Harris Makes a Hit.
1t was here that one of the prettiest GER
emonies Of the trip occurred. After ths
mayor had made an address of welcome
and after Mr.. Harris had responded in his
usual felicitous manner. Mr.. Harris as
president of the National Dry Farmers
congress. was invited to plant a tree i'm
the public square. From a number OF
slips Mr. Harris chose a Lombard poplar
