Miss Scott Likes River-to-River Road.
Council Bluffs.-Dusty, begrimed
and tanned, and preceded by a cav.
alcade of cars, Miss Blanche Scott ar.
rived here. She was enthusiastic over
the River to River road, and the re-
ception she was given by the people
living along the road She was fairly
overwhelmed at the hospitality which
was showered upon her.
Our course through Iowa has been
one continual triumph" she said.
1.-THE River to River road is a stretch
of the finest highway we have ira
versed since leaving New York May
16. In nearly every place it has been
freshly dragged, and 1t is pleasure
to ride over it. We have been piloted
from town to town. We have one con-
tinual parade. At times we have had
as many as twenty-five cars as an
escort from town to town. In the
smaller places our advent was the
signal for a regular riot. Everybody
waited for the transcontinental girl
and in every place some sort of en-
tertainment was given u.s."
