Strenuous Trip.
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt who
nave been travelling with him on his
western trip have been astonished at
the endurance which he has DISPLAYED.
He has attended breakfasts before 7
O'Clock and dinners which lasted until
late at night and has made SO MANY
speeches since he left New York that
he cannot even estimate the number.
But last night he admitted that he wa G
tired. He instructed his secretary to
send kilograms to the towns through
which ne was to pass yesterday. saving
that as ii was Sunday he would make
no speeches whatever from the train.
That done, the unsuspecting colonel

realize his visions of a day of rest an

The special train scooted across the
eastern edge of South Dakota, and into
Minnesota, and for the first part Of the
morning Colonel Roosevelt enjoyed
himself sitting in an easy chair and
reading a book. Then the engineer
footed one long blast with the whistle
and slowed down for Marshall, the first
stop. Colonel Roosevelt continued to
read his book. There was a shout out

stopped large crowd closed around

The shouts grew louder. He laid down
his book. Some of the people saw him
through the window, and cheered He
arose to his feet, and there was an
other cheer. He walked to the door
and thrust his head through. The cheer
developed into yell of greeting and

Many Come in Autos.
Throngs of people have been arriving
in the city for the great celebration
for the past three days. Hundreds
came in yesterday on the trains, but
one of the notable features was the
great number of automobile parties
that motored to the city. There were
at a conservative estimate 500 out-of-
town automobiles in the city last night
and all evening these were touring the
town. These cars come from towns all
over North Dakota and Minnesota,
while there is a large number from
Canada-Winnipeg Brandon and other
Canadian cities being represented.
During the ride of the Roosevelt party
from the railroad station to the hotel
the route was lined with cars.
