Teegram.)-From Creighton, through the
Rosebud country and valley of the Verdi
girls to Dallas. the end of the Northwestern
line, and practically the end of the trade
boosters journey, the weary and footsore
workers have made their way. 1t has been
frightened by the greetings of thousands
of school children waving flags and singing
songs
May % has been holiday for the peo-
pie and every town has had a holiday APP
pearance. In Fairfax, for instance the day

The first big demonstration was at
, Spencer, Neb., where automobiles were
provided to take the entire party to the
; town on hill. In front OF the school
, house the children were lined up Each
!. child had flag and wore a badge which
read Spencer Boosters" Everyone on the
streets also wore ribbons AS the boost
ers came along the children gave their
yell. They were led by a, young woman,
, who kept the yelling going like a drum
major would/a band.
s Who we? Who are we9 We are the
K Spencer boosters; can't you see!" was the
4 yell they gave.
( Here was secured one of the best NOV
ing pictures taken on the trip, the light be-
ing perfect. After a short stop at Anoka,
the entire party was driven to Butte, three
, and one-half miles away. There was no
reason to regret the trip.
Women Welcome Boosters.
In Butte the women took charge OF the
reception, pinning badges on everyone In
the party. From a specially constructed
= stand Mr. Jefferls spoke to the crowds
e telling them that, as the town seemed to
Il be run by women, he believed he would
e move to Butte, as under such crcum-
i stances he could surely be elected to Of
T. flee The town was decorated with flags
y and bunting. More extensive decorations
: were never used by the people Of Butte for
g any Celebration than were displayed in
u honor of the Omaha boosters.
Fairfax presented a golden key 20 the
/ city, and from decorated stand erected
in the center OF the main street the visitors
y were given another welcome to South Da-
e kota and to Gregory county In particular.
y Arriving in Bonesteel another reception
y by the school children had been arranged
e and with their teachers were at the train
to meet the OmahAns. An immense Ameri-
= can flag was hung from a rope across the
- main street Of the town and forward OF
this A. w. Jefferls made speech. The
:, people of Bonesteel. with their usual enter
= prise, had invited all the farmers on that
part Of the old reservation to be in town
= to meet the Omahans, and from the size
- of the crowd they We're ell there. Return
ing to their farms, their automobiles raced
along the side of the train, giving re-
markable demonstration OF the prosperity
IN of the claimhoders who u few years ag6
IN drew lucky numbers at the great Rosebud
~ opening and have since developed farms
al which have made them independently
n wealthy.
Dallas Receives Visitors
