FARMERS TRAIN BIG SUCCESS
Ended Journey at Walla Walla Last
Saturday

The longest and most successful dem
onstration train tour ever undertaken
in the west closed Saturday afternoon
with large meeting at Touchet, in
western Walla Walla county, and at
night thoroughly tired but well
pleased company of lecturers returned
to Pullman and Washington State col
lege, from whence they departed Mon
day morning
During the six days the train has
Travelled nearly 600 miles, has made 20
stops in five of the principal agricul-
tural counties of eastern Washington
and almost 10000 persons have heard
the lectures, seen the exhibits and
gained wisdom from the tour.
This train has set new record in
this line of work. 1t has been the
largest and best equipped train, has
carried the largest party, has covered
more territory, visited more towns
and the lectures have been heard by
more people than any train ever under
taken in the west. The weather has
been almost perfect.
That the work of this train and its
corps of lecturers will bring greater
benefits to the agricultural interests
of the state than any previous effort is
believed by all who have accompanied
the train.

President Deluged With Invitations
From the West-No Plans
Made,

Washington, March 31.-President
Taft is being fairly smothered with in.
vitations for visits and speeches in
every part of the country during the
coming summer.
The president is unable to say at
this time just what his plans for the
summer will be. He first planned to
spend the summer in travel, making
a long tour Of the western and Pacific
states, with side trip by steamer to
Alaska.
But the western trip is held in
allegiance for numerous reasons, a par.
amount one being the matter Of ex.

Mr.. Taft is making no speaking en-
gagements at this time because of the
doubt as to the length of time congress
will remain in session. He does not
purpose to make any extended trip
away from Washington while the
tariff bill is under consideration.
