Invited To Moscow.

Mayor Mckinney and men,
bers of the city council have re-
ceived the following invitation
from the committee of Moscow
citizens appointed as a committee
to receive President Roosevelt
on the occasion of his visit to
Moscow April 10:
This is to advise you, and
through you the people of your
city, that the Honorable Theo-
dore Roosevelt will visit Moscow
on April 9 and 10. Moscow is
putting forth every effort to en-
tertain the people of Idaho upon
this occasion. President Roose-
welt will reach Moscow in the af-
ternoon of Sunday, April 9. He
will stay over night here and will
make an address at the univer-
slty OF Idaho on the morning of
April 10. The speaking will take
place in a natural amphitheatre,
so that every person who desires
will have the pleasure of listen
ing to the speech of this great
American. We want you to un-
derstand that this is not a purely
Moscow affair. On the contrary,
we are endeavoring to make it
an Idaho reception to Roosevelt,
believing that every citizen of
Idaho will have an equal interest
in the occasion; as no doubt, the
address of the ex-president, de-
livered on the campus of the
state university, will be state
wide in character. The citizens
of Moscow cordially invite the
people OF your city and the sur
rounding country to be present.
We expect several thousand Wis
itors here to see the distinguished
ex-president. We will throw
open our homes to our visitors,
and will do everything in our
power to make the visit of your
citizens to Moscow as pleasant as
possible. We shall be very glad
if you will give this communica-
tion as much publicity as is prac-
ticable so that your people may
know of the occasion and of the
date of the visit of our ex-presi-
dent to this city"
