PARTY
RETURNED
Report Very Pleasant Trip
Among the Neighbors
of the North.

CHcc SOluultTCidl CluD oAcuFSlOu
party, which since Tuesday morning
has been touring the Okanogan and
Methow country, returned on the
down river boat this morning.
Messrs. U. X. Lail, r. T. Woodruff
and Rufus Woods were delayed near
Mallott and are now completing the
trip. The return excursionists re-
port very pleasant trip throughout.
The people of the Methow and the
Okanogan gave royal receptions at
all the stopping places. They were
all enthusiastic, jealous and alive,
especially in Omak and Okanogan.
The trip was highly successful in
every respect.
The trip was marred somewhat by
the failure of a portion of the dele
gates to get up the Methow but even
those who failed to make this trip
state that the journey northward in
to the Okanogan was worth the eff
fort made to make the trip.
The party disembarked from the
steamer Okanogan at Pateros and
took passage to Twisp by auto, ar
irving there at IL O'Clock. The next
morning the cars travelled over the
valley to view the country and went
as far as Winthrop, where a picnic
dinner was served at II O'Clock.
Then they returned to Twisp where
banquet in the opera house was
served at 2 o'clock and toasts and
speaking followed At o'clock the
party departed over the Methow Di-
vide for Okanogan, arriving at the
city of Okanogan all the way from
to 9 O'Clock. The Okanogan streets
were gaily decorated, especially
lighted, and the band was in the
grandstand and played from the time
of the first arrival of the visitors
at o'clock up to 8 o'clock when the
last ones arrived. The crowds were
lined up on both sides of the streets
and were enthusiastic, giving the Wis
itors a royal welcome. A very sump-
tuous banquet was set in the new
auditorium. The festivities closed
at l o'clock.
The party arrived at Omak at $3.50
Thursday and were given a lunch
con of hot coffee, bread and butter,
after which the party were taken in
various directions over the Pogue
Flat, which is under the government
project, returning at II o'clock to
Omak, where in the dining room of
the hotel sumptuous dinner was
served. Speaking and singing of
special songs were the entertainment
that followed.
At Brewster the time was well
and profitably spent.
The excursion party was not lack
ing in musical talent and at every
place an audience could be secured.
the following excursion song was rem
dered, making slight variations, &C
cording to the name of the place:
Oh, we've come up here to give you
the gland hand and
We've brought our friends to spy
out your fair land;
We are boosters with a mighty lot
of sand, and
There'll be a hot home in Methow
y tonight.
Now bring your crowd and let us
meet them all,
Well smile our smile on the short
ones and the tall
And we'll hope to see you all with
us this fall,
For there'll be hot time in the
M-thow tonight.
We're a noisy bunch from the sage
brush and the sand;
We are boosting for your thous-
and dollar land,
And we'll make noise altho' we're
short our band,
And therell be a hot time in the
Methow tonight.
Chorus:
Now cheer, boys, cheer, and do it
with a will,
For when we're gone it may be
