When Dali Lewis and his Pathfinder
reached Omaha on Monday night he
found an Adair bunch of people who
told him they were on the River to River
Road and he told them he would 60
their way, so they started east feeling
nightly tickled. Here the Extra and
the Guthrie Center men got busy and
telephoned toSecretary Eichinger at the
Des Moines Daily Capital Office telling
him what was in the wind and that
gentleman caught Mr.. Lewis and his
crew at a point between Council Bluffs
and Atlantic by telephone; told him
that there was but one Official River to
River Road; that all other stories were
base fabrications; that Extra was on
That Road; and advised him to come
that route. Then it was that the Adair
people looked down in the mouth, like
a doctor, and the Exiraites smiled with
satisfied smile, such as tiger has when
he sees a gentle unsuspecting gaZelle i
approaching his lair. About twenty /
cars from Extra went down to Atlantic /
to meet Mr.. Lewis and the Pathfinder ,
on Tuesday morning and they came !
trailing him into the Busy Coal Town, !
about the noon hour, with flags flying
and everybody singing Halleluyah in 8
