the two escort cars met the Chalmers
Detroit pathfinder in front of the Bay
state building, at worcester. After en-
joylhg a little lunch at the Worcester
Automobile Club. the scout car and its
escort set out for the Hub For the
nrst tme during the entire trip the path
finders had at last encountered really
good roads. for. as they put it. they
never saw any better roads than from
worcester to Boston "
on the approach to this city, the party
was greeted from all sides, residents
through BroOkline waving cordially as
the party sped by their homes The
path1nding car. covered with large ban
ners and much mud. attracted a great
zeal Of attention, and before the party
0ad gone far down Bolston street there
vas a large army Of automobiles trail
ng along.
Stop at Statehouse.
The first stop in this city was made
at the Statei:ouse, where Lieutenant
Governor rockingham hurried down
the steps and shook hands with the
members Of the pathfndiug party, wei
coming them TO this city and State, and
wishing them the best of luck on their
journey back to Washington. The well
come by the lieutenant governor was
doubly appreciated, for 1t is understood
he gave up an important engagement
IN order to receive the pathhnding party
..t the Ststehouse -Ife afterwards ex-
planned that it was only once in a great
while that he had the honor Of welcOm-
ing a pathdnding car for such a great
event as the Munsey tour promises TO
be.
The lieutenant governor took a little
spin in the car, and seemed to be much
interested in this Chalmers-Detroit.
when it was explained to him that
the car had covered over 5000 miles
In the past few months, having par
ticularly distinguished itself as the
pathfinder in the Denver and Mexico
run.
The members Of the scouting party
who have been blazing the trail from
washington to this city. and who will
start off on the last leg of their journey
Friday. will be royalty entertained while
i'm this city, for a task such as this is
a laborious one, and a rest of two days
will be welcomed by the visitors.
Today they will make arrangements
for hotel accommodations for the tour
lists when they reach here the latter
rert Of September, for two-day stop.

You ask me TO tell in 100 words what
is the matter with the washington ball
team. To tell it all would probably take
100000 words, but 10 be brief, the
trouble with the team is the team itself.
CantillOn is not 10 be entirely blamed
for the showing Of the club. although
he has not got the best out of bis best
players He overworked Johnson in the
spring and that twirler has not been
himself since. However, Cantillon has
very little good material TO work with,
and asking him to produce a winner
with that outfit would be like handing
the chef at the New Willard a handful
Of chuck steak and telling him TO turn
out a strawberry shOrtcake. The Wash
ington management will have 10 do as
StalIings has done-buy a lot Of new
players and develop them. You cannot
buy good team at any price nova

The Nationals, just TO demonstrate
their versatility, performed an icono-
elastic role yesterday by capturing those
ferocious Tigers. and tanning them in
most approved style.
To attempt to dispaTage the victory
would be mere sophistry. WashingtOns
won because in every department Of
the game the twice champions were
Outplayed, Dolly Gray, whose per-
formances Of late have been uncertain
as Washington weather, was at the
top of his game, and when hits meant
runs he had those juggle products eat
ing out of his hand. In eight OF the
nine innings there were Tigers lurking
on the bases, but only once were they
able TO get men around TO the counting
post, and even this circuit was not made
because they thumped Gray, for had not
an untimely boot crept in at least one
OF these tallies would not have ma

INTO the new DEPOT
The Milwaukee Company Moved Into
New Depot and Resumed Bust
! ness ndcr Fine Conditions.

When the Milwaukee, passenger
station was opened for business Tues
day it was under much more
pleasant conditions than has Seen
the case for "a great many years, and
the smile OF contentment ON the faces
Agent Shelby and Ticket Agent Snow
%perceptibly broaiened as they
greeted the friends and patrons of the
road.
The new depot is not wholly COM
pleted as yet, but removal "a caused
by reason of the men being ready to
move the old depot from it's present
site farther east, where it will be
used for the train dispatcher's office
and for the use of the conductors and
brakemen. 1t will be remodeled to
some extent and made more COM
Portable for the persons who will use
it.
There is much work to be done
around the grounds of the depot be-
fore it can be called finished. Cement
walks are to be laid to the south and
to the north of the structure. Most
of the interior work is completed.
The new depot is a structure of
which tae citizens can be proud, when
It is taken into consideration the
building that has served the public
for so many years. 1t is a little oNer
200 feet long and 80 feet wide at its
widest portion. 1t is placed on a
concrete foundation, and it built OF
pressed brick. 1t is covered with a
substantial slate roof which prevents
the possibility of fire from the pass
ing engines. The interior is finished
IN oak and the Was and ceilings are
paneled off to add to the appearance
of the interior.
In the east end is the ladies wait
ing room, with the ticket Office COM
ing next and adjoining is the mems
waiting room. Off of that is the
lunch room, which is considerably en-
larged over the old lunch counter,
There is also room for the placing OF
two tables where meals can be serv-
ed. Adjoining are the baggage and
express OFFICES.
The entrance to the depot on the
north side cannot be used for some
time, owing to the grading not being
done nor the cement sidewalks put
in. There is much. work to be done
to have the surroundings in readiness
for corn palace week, when an i'm
mense rush Of business always takes
place.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1909-09-02
The structure will cost about $45,.

The structure will cost about $45,-
900 when fully completed, and it will
serve the people we'll.
There has been some agitation on
the part of the citizens to have a
shed built out from the depot to the
first track, to provide a shelter to
passengers coming off the trains in
bad weather, and it is probable that
it will be taken up With the officials.
1t seems to be d very necessary thing
and every effort will doubtless be
made to get the officers to construct

A WORD FROM woLGY
The General is Entranced Over tho
Bitter Root Valley Country Out
in Montana.

Editor Republican:-It may be OF
some interest to our friends and your
readers to get a word from us, and
this wonderful Bitter Root country.
We are all well and enjoying the
most delightful climate we have
ever been in. Since we have been
here we have had the pleasure OF
meeting several old Mitchell friends
who are touring the west. Among
them were MI. and Mrs. g. B. Wilt
and son, G. E. Brady, our register OF
deeds, and now we have M. M. Doyle.
who has been with us for three days
in travelling over the country with
Lee. To everyone coming here the
fruit and fruit growing is simply a.
revelation, something they never
dreamed Of. Apples, the early ones
and half green at that, are being ship
ped to Butte, Helena and other min
ing cities, and selling for $1.00 per-
box f.. o. b. Cherries are selling at
1926 per crate, blackberries from $s|
to $3.50. These fruit lands are be-
ing bought up rapidly. Lee and !
have bought another fruit ranch OF
80 acres, on which there are some Z
or 8 acres of heavy bearing fruit
trees, and which are now being harI
vested and the fruit shipped.
To give your readers some idea 0
the value CT some of the land / viii
say that for the Z acre bearing or
chard we have been offered $1,000
but we refused the offer, as it is NO
for sale at any price. We intend
plant tha full SO acres and make
our future home.
We are trying to interest the Bite
Root Valley Irrigation Co. to g
some of the products OF this count
to the corn palace and believethl
we shall succeed.
Mrs. Wolgemuth and myself u
return ina few days and Leesandsh
wife will come later.
Yours truly,
