HOMEWARD FLIGHT
 OF HE COLONEL
Great Week; Great Convention" He
 Tells ToIedoans
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

TOLEDO, Aug s. The showing made by the first national convention of the progressive party said Roosevelt tonight on his way to Oyster Bay, is one that would give the country new impression of the strength of the movement and lend an impetus at the outset of the campaign.
 Tt was a great week. said the colonel. Tt was a great convention.
 When the movement to form the new party started, he continued, many men who led the fight against him in the republican convention said that no progressive convention would be held, or that if one were held it would be failure By this time he thought they probably had changed their minds and realized that they had made mistake in what they had done in the republicn convention. Even the feeders of the new prty, he said, were surprised at the size and character of the convention.
 In the new party Roosevelt said he would have opportunities which he could not have had in the republican organization He referred to the pro- gressive platform as containing blanks which he desired but could not have had in a republican platform had he been the nominee of that party. Roosevelt said he had read parts of Wilson's speech yesterday but he de- clined to comment on it.
 Before leaving Chicago the colonel discussed the Mississippi waterways project with a delegation from Mis- sOuri. He promised to deliver an ad- dress at St LOus early in September. On his arrival in New York the colonel will go at once to Oyster Bay. He said he hoped to have a rest of a few days before the campaign trip be- gins. and that he would see as few persons as possible at Sagamore Hill.
 When Roosevelts train reached Elk hart. Indiana, several hundred persons were at the station. They gave the colonel such a noisy welcome that al though he tried several times to begin a speech he could not make himself heard. So he passed the time shaking hands with those crowded about him singling out the children for special attention.

NO EARLY RELIEF
From the High Prices of Beef
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

ASSOCIATED PRESS plSfAI INfiI
 CHICAGO. Aug. S.-That cheap prices based on more abundant sup ply of cattle cannot be expected Tor several years, according to the statls- tican of the Union Stock Yards Tran sit company who issued statement today commenting on the record hlgh prices paid for cattle in the Chicago market this week. In his opinion the only relief lies with the farmers of the corn belt, who with improved methods in the use of corn and al- falfa for feeding may be able to pro- duce beef cattle in larger numbers and at a lower cost in the next few years.
 The present scarcity he says is due to the droughts of 19O9-1O. AS It will take from three to five years to build up a new supply, an abundance of beef at reasonably cheap prices need not be looked for for several years to cOme,;' is his ultimatum. The present prices he says are highest since the civil war.
