Pocatello, Ida. May 21.--At the close
tile Snake river valley the Salt Lake
Commercial clubs special train reach
I'd here this evening at o'clock. and
sped northWard a few minutes later.
There was mighty little doing about
the train when it passed through here.
Yesterday was a busy day. but today
vas ever more busy. Tonight the boys
are tired. They say they realize now.
as they never in their lives realized be-
fore. that il is possible to Kill people
with kindness. For them there has been
mighty little rest. The hospitality OF
the jewellers in the valley OF the Snake
has beer overflowingly abundant. In
its waves have the travellers been en-
folded until they are more than will
ing TO snatch a few hours of repose
Even Frank Redman and John r. VIM
der. jr., the owls Of the party, were
tired enough 10 turn in with the chick
ems tonight. So were Charley Quigley,
Dick Gray. J. A. Reeves, w. ]. Hallor-
an, ]. A. Foley and the rest. But what
a time they are having. Old friend
ships are being renewed. acquaintances
that promise 10 develop into lasting
friendships are being made. There is
nothing but praise. and, indeed, there
could be nothing but praise for the per-
lection of the entertainment that has
been spread before the sojourners from
Utah.

cursions. was the first stop OF the day.
The special left Pocatello at 9 O'Clock
this morning with everybody sleeping

ers, who insisted on sitting in the
smoking room OF one OF the sleepers
and talking everything over thorough

ing the peaks OF the Teton range, and
Senator Stephen H. Love was the only
man up when the train reached ST. An
thony. The senator was Up early be-
cause he went TO bed early in the
morning. But early though the hour
was. # was not too early for the COM
mittee that represented st. Anthony's
hospitable populace. The committee
consisted of Lee S. Burrows, H. S.
Sturtevant and P. S. Parks. Mr.. Bur-
rows said he would have met the train
if he had To stay up all night. The st.
Anthony Commercial club had ar
ranged TO give the visitors breakfast
at St. Anthony's opera house, hall
admirably adapted TO entertaining pur-
poses. At s o'clock the start for the
hall was made, the band cheering the
tired brothers with the liveliest march
in its repertoire. 1t really was funny to
see the game struggle some of the men
who had little or no sleep made to act
as II they had had a fun nights rest.
Breakfast Was Ready.
Some Of them actually curvetted as
they marched down the street towards
the breakfasting hall The breakfast
was one OF the old-fashioned kind. II
was served by the members of the La

entertainment Fisher Harris also |
spoke briefly and happily, following
Senator Love. The band gave con-
cert, and then the visitors dispersed to |
