N After travelling several hun
dred miles and visiting a number
of the most prominent towns in
q the Northwest the Inland Empire
Live Stock Special returned to
$Lewiston last Thursday morning
kafter having completed one of
the most notable excursions ever
&pulled off in this country. Ar
Kranged within the short space Of
*three weeks, SO great was the
Interest in the excursion and SO
n strong the demand for accommo-
\ dations that thirteen Pullman
n palace coaches were needed to
accommodate t h e excursion
party.
After waiting for the clans to
gather from the surrounding
prairies and valleys, the special
train left Lewiston at 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon loaded down
with 237 eXcursionists and little
Memo, the Cottonwood pig. Roll
ing down the pleasant valley of
the Snake river a spirit of en-
thusiasm seemed to fill all to
overfowing and when the first
stop was made at Pasco every
member of the party was en-
thused with the booster spirit
and resolved to spread the good
news all along the line. On
reaching Pasco the special was
backed up to the old depot in the
center of town and the eXcur-
sionists were conducted to the
Commercial Club rooms where
they were welcomed to the city
and the gentlemen treated to
Pasco cigars and the ladies to
Pasco candy. Booster speeches
were delivered by both hosts and
guests, the Cottonwood pig add
ing his voice to the chorus at an
opportune time. A special edi-
tion of the Development League
Herald, printed on the train en-
route, was distributed at Pasco
and was full of good tidings of
the excursion and it's aims.
Pasco's paved streets and bright
ly Illuminated thoroughfares
proved very attractive to the
visitors and it was with a feeling
of regret that they entrained to
resume their journey.

o'clock, some of the machines
having covered more than a hum
dred miles with their cargoes of
beauty seekers.
In the evening a banquet was
served in the commercial club
rooms to the excursionists and
the business men of Portland,
some six or seven hundred per-
sons being present. The food
items composing this feast were
provided in main part by the
various towns represented in the
excursion party and to say that
it was fit for the occasion is suf-
ficient. Every item on the
lengthy menu spoke for itself
and the town that sent it and
the Cottonwood pork and the
Kendrick beans were not among
the least noticeable on the list.
After the last course of the ban
quet was disposed of the toast
master for the evening arose
and, after a few fitting remarks,
introduced the speaker of the
. evening. We will not attempt
to give our readers an outline of
the various talks made during
J the evening but suffice to say
that they were many and varied
and the banquet did not break
up until about midnight.
On Tuesday the excursionists
were taken in chartered street
cars to the Portland Union Stock
, Yards where they saw the prize
winning cattle and hogs sold at
auction, a more detailed account
. of which is given elsewhere in
this issue. At noon they were
) shown through the plant of the
= Union Meat Company and were
r given an opportunity of seeing
: how the plant is operated from
the time the animal is slaughter
/ ed until it is turned out in the
finished product. In the after.
= noon further sales of live stock
| were continued until evening,
! and thus ended the two days
spent in Portland two days fill
, ed to overflowing with pleasure
and entertainment such as it is
seldom the fortune of one to ex
perience.
At 7:10 on Wednesday morning
the special left Portland over the
O.-W. R. & N. line on the return
trip and reached the little city o.
Hood River about ten o'clock
Here a stop of an hour was made
and the visitors were taken by
auto out into the valley to view
the beauties of that great frui
district, which appears to b.
fully up to its best advertised
reputation. Mount Hood, in thu
near distance, loomed white ant
grand and is sufficient to make /;
person feel cool and comfortable
even in the hottest summe
weather. At least it appeared
that way to US.
The next stop was at TIL
Dalles where we were met at tn
train and each presented with
choice Wasco county pink, afte
which all marched through tn
streets to the Elks temple an
listened to an address of welcom
by a prominent citizen o. tina
city. Here again little Mem
raised her voice in a lusty boost

royal treatment accorded her i

was made in order to give all an
opportunity of viewing the great
work that is being carried on
there by the government at such
an enormous expense. Some of
the boys got so interested in this
work that they missed the train
but caught up again before we
reached Pendleton.
At Pendleton the delegation
was royalty received by the citi-
zens and the cow boy roundup
band and after marching through
the principal streets the usual
good-fellowship speeches were
exchanged, and the special
steamed on to Walla Walla.
Here the reception was much the
same as at the other towns along
the route and it was near mid
night before the train departed
on the last lap of the journey,
reaching Lewiston the next
morning.
1t was one grand ovation from
start to finish and each town
along the route did its part in
making the excursion success.
The special train of thirteen cars
is said by railroad men to have
been the largest of its kind ever
to have gone out of the North
west. The cars were the best to
be had, the train service par ex-
cellence and not a thing occurred
on the entire trip to mar the
slightest feature of it's success.
AS an advertising feature it's
valueis beyond comparison and
more publicity was secured from
it than could have been purchas-
ed for many thousands of dollars
in any other way.
1t was a visit of friendship anc
good-fellowship to Portland and
will result in much benefit to this
entire part of Idaho in the neal
future in drawing the producing
country and the wholesale anc
marketing districts closer togeth
er. Those who did not take the
trip cannot realize its importance
and can only blame themselves
for not having been along.
Work on the big cement plan
to be put in at Orofino, will b,
begun in June and the work will
be rushed to completion as rapil.
as psssible. About $40O, 900 will
be expended there in putting tn
plant in operation.

The Vermont Election.

The substantial gain in the Demo-
cratic vote over that of recent years
and the Republican collapse before
the charge of the Bull Moose were
features of Tuesdays election. They
are not surprising; they are largely
in accordance with the general fore
east, yet the country was not quite
prepared for spectacular upset in
Vermont politics and is still talking
about it. . s.
It is novel situation. but YER
mont Democracy is pleased, the Pro-
gressives are cheered and encour-
aged over the disorganization of the
Republican ranks, while the stand
patters are temporarily helpless over
Colopel Roosevelts weli-advertised
political burglary by which the old
guard lost their possessions of years,
and which to them was audacious
and apparently impossible. The
worst happened.
If tuesdays vote is any barome-
ter, Taft stands not the slightest
show of election in November, and
eProgressivevote indicates that the
Bull Moose may come in second at
the polls. yermont's Democratic
vote will be AN inspiration to the
Democrats of the country at large
The Vermont Democrats stood to-
gether, more than holding their own,
and there is nothing to indicate that
the Democratic voters Of other states
will not do as well-and make the
election Of Governog Wilson a prac-
tical certainty.

It is held that the Progressive
candidate in Vermont was not strong
in vote getting; that on the direct
Roosevelt issue in November the
Progressive vote will be much larger,
says the Boston Post However this
may be, it is matter of local detail.
As regards the larger contest, the
chief and significant fact is that the
forces which have stripped the Re-
publican party in Vermont of its
traditional majority are those which
are at work throughout the country
turning the minds of men to true
Democracy
This is the warning carried by the
action of the people of Vermont.

The Age is the only paper in Yer

which urged the Democrats to stand
together and work together for the
release of the state from the long
time Republican domination of pub

but he received the largest vote TO,
Democratic candidate in thirty-twc
years. This is something. of a tri.
umph in the complicated political
situation today, and The Age is very
well satisfied with the result and Its

During its more than twenty-three

This can only mean that its

care.
i 1t means close adherence to the
motto of the bank from its start,
"safety first, last and
