Difficulties in Yosemite

RUT it was in the Yosemite National Park, California
= that this man, who had been dragging telegraph
wire after the President day and night, confronted
with real difficulty. From the evening of October
until the morning of October 10, the presidential party
coaching in the park, covering than one hun
dred miles and changing base every night
This sighed the correspondents, is where the
great blow-off hits We might well be buried.
No chance to get anything out of this place.
They noted some telephone wires running through
the park but Taft had known of them before their
arrival. He called in Electrical Engineer Hooper, of
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company, and
corps of assistants and converted those telephone wires
into composite circuits, that they could be used
for telegraphng well telephoning The result was
that full fedged, though temporary, telegraph offices
up night at the three stopping places of the
party in the park FL Portal Wawona, and Sentinel
and from these almost magcally constructed offices
than twenty-five thousand words were sent to the
outer world.
But this was not all of the that struck Taft amid
the beauties and wonders of the park. The night of
October the President decided to stop at Glacier
Point, that from the top of the canon he might see
the sunrise. The telegraph line terminates at Sentinel
which is four miles from Glacier Point by the short
trail and there is only telephone wire, military
line, between the two places.
When the correspondents took in the situation, they
began pay their customary tributes to the operators
directors officials. and stockholders of the telegraph
companies of the world in general and this country in
particular.

that night Taft did not sleep enough to hurt him.
Another big job doomed up at Montrose, Colorado on
the night of September %. From Nontrose narrow
gage railroad extends Gunnson where the headgate
to the great Gunnson tunnel reclamation project
opened by the President The correspondents returned
to Montrose and hammered out on typew1iters or
wrote BY hand total of twenty thousand words de-
scrbing the project and what the President had done
and said. Ordinarily, this office is run by a woman
operator; but the vgilan Taft had called in corps OF
expert operators from Denver and had made of the
railroad wires in addition to regular commercial lines,
so that the stories got out in good order.
At North Yakima, Washington, where practically no
file at all was expected more than fifteen thousand
words produced by the Presidents meeting an old
sweetheart. This one of the times when Taft had

Bottles and Pals as Messengers

THERE was where he had his famous bottle inspira-
ton At of the stops he passed the word to all
boats that at Greenville, Mississippi he would be
standing by launch and that messages and dispatches
could be thrown to him in sealed bottles which he had

fleet opposite Greenville steam launch covered

dear life something like this:

part of the world in an hourl The Western Unions

As the went by, there thrown into the
from each of them several of the sealed bottles
containing newspaper stories and personal and official
messages. Taft had his launch running round in circles;
but he didn't overlook bottle. The President stood
on deck and watched him fish up the jar containing
dispatches to members of the Cabinet in Washington.
In one of these bottles despatch to a New York
newspaper dated Steamboat Oleander, by bottle

Taft the accuracy of this statement explaining the

Taft got rest during the few quiet days Taft spent
at his brothers ranch at Gregory Texas but after that
the old round of waiting up half the night for trains and
riding in baggage cars began all over again.
The Mississippi Maze
THEN came the supreme problem of the trip when the
start was made down the Mississippi from ST.
Louis under the auspices OF the Deep
Waterways Association. The trip began October 25
and it consisted Of of confusion running
behind schedules and stops made both banks of the
river Taft had to attend to both banks. On each side
of the river he had extra operators and electricians at
every possible stop. These moved along down the
stream, keeping up with the procession Taft like

crossed and recrossed the river. He put out at all
hours from either bank the other to the moving
boats. Then the schedule went wrong from the very

nobody else had been able to find them. He would con-
jure up craft from hidden places, take long running

toward the approaching fleet.
But the question was How he to get hold of the
dispatches after he had within haing distance Of

He did not mind having to and recross the river
His rides by day and night in railroad trains beating
