ST. LOUIS. Oct LID oys 'Hadie2,
the Republican chief executive of the
shon-me State, is to enter the ranks

err the feed, the Governor will board
a trade for Salem, Mo-, there to set
forth on the grand adventure,
Darkest Missouri will be invaded By
the daring Governor. Tie toughest
and most unfrequented part OF tae
Ozark country is his goal. There he
will, meet people who have never seen
railroad train and who do not know
chat the Civil War is over.
Salem is in the heart of the Ozarks.
The Governor will there find himself
In the middle of a vast region, 1000
900 acres of (which remain without a
foot OF ground ever having being
touched by paow.
This uncultivated region lies most
" ON either bank of THE Current. river,
and runs through the counties OF
Texas. Shannon, Garter and Ripley
into Arkansas. For almost the en-
tire course OF the Current river there
is not "a settlement on either bank
that is within 65 miles of a railroad
Two branches of the Frisco and the
Iron Mountain railroad Zines are the
only tracks that hem in the vast dis
trtct.
There will be a mass meeting at
Salem when the Governor reaches
that city, and there will be speeches

men of the Nation and State. From
Salem Gov. Hadley will move on to
Montauk Point by carriage.

The region through which the Gov

known, and at the same time on the
most picturesque in the world 1t
has hills and valleys and mountains
and plains and fertile tracts of land
that stretch for miles, but that never
have given up any Of their wealth be-
cause no one has ever sought 1t.
The region is Wild But even from
the viewpoint of sportsmen it has
been neglected UP to the present time.
In its streams are to be found the
finest game fish to be caught any
where. And on the Lands are still
brown bear and dear, mink and the
fox. The streams are filled with rain
