SCREAMING WHISTLES
WELCOME PRESIDENT.
st. Louis Makes Deafering Racket Over
Roosevelt's Arrival and Skies
Drench Him.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 2.-Welcomed by
screaming whistles, changing bells, thun-
dering intonations Of bursting bombs and
the huzzahs from thousands of human
throats President Roosevelt landed at st.
Louis at 9:47 o'clock this morning, mark
ing the first stop on his voyage down the
Mississippi River from Keokuk Ia, to
Memphis, Tenn, where he will attend tho
Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways Asso-
citation convention on Friday.
The cruise is the Presidents active re-
sponse to general invitation from the
governors of the States along the Missis-
sippi River, given in the belief that he
will be so impressed with the enormous
waste of freight-carrying energy that he
will exert powerful influence in favor of
committing the government to act with
definite and larger spirit toward deepening
the great inland channels for navigation
by ocean-going craft,
The entrance of the steamer Mississippi
bearing the President into the harbor of
st. Louis was announced by the firing of
bombs and blowing of whistles. Tens of
thousands of persons lined both shores of
the river and across Eads Bridge, the main
viewpoint, stretched a chain of humanity
solidly packed from the Illinois to the
Missouri side
With the stateliness of a naval review
the escorting steamboats, maintained their
line of procession and swept along to the
point of landing, at the foot of Olive
street, where they halted. The Mississippi
steamed on down to the end of the course
and then returned, plowing slowly up
stream to effect landing. AS President
Roosevelt stepped ashore he was welcomed
by fifteen Governors from various States,
congressman and city dignitaries.
The morning had dawned bright and
clear. but by 9 o'clock clouds began to
gather. Efforts were made to rush the
program along because of the threatening
weather The line of the procession was
quickly formed for the drive to the Jai
Alai building in the western portion of
the city. FIVE miles from the river, where
the President was to deliver his speech
A Gordon of mounted police led the way,
then a company of United States cavalry
and the Presidents carriage, containing
also Mayor Wells and three secret service
men. Following came twenty-five car
riages bearing the visiting Governors and
other dignitaries, with a military band
and two companies of infantry from JEFF
ferson Barracks bringing up the rear.
By the time the procession had pro-
ceeded eight blocks the skies opened and
the President and his welcoming host were
drenched. The horses were whipped up
and regardless of the professional forma-
tion. the President was hurried to the
Jai Alai building.

lish Two Camps in Louisiana Cane
brakes for Roosevelt Party.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. president
Roosevelt will be within one to four
hours communication with the out
side world when he goes into hunting
camp in Northeast Louisiana at the
end of this week. The location of two
of his camps, which have already been

by A. X. Amacker, of Lake Providence,
La, who helped to make the camps.
The first is at the junction of the
Tensas River and the Monticello road,
in East Carroll parish. This camp
will be about five miles from Alsatia
Station, where the temporary White
House will be established for the
Presidents secretaries, telegraphers
and newspaper correspondents.
The second camp is at the junction
of Monticello road and Joe's Bayou.
A temporary bridge has been built
across the Tensas River to give easy
communication between the camps.
From the base four canebrakes are
easily accessible. Mr. AInaclxer said
that so far eight bears have been To-
Gated in the brakes by experienced
hunters who have been selected to lead
the Presidents expedition.
