:. The international Club held it's
opening last evening. The club
has spacious suite of rooms on
the third floor Of the Robinson and
Ouderkirk Building which is far
and away the best and most impos-
ing building in town. The club

bers and its success as a gentlmen's s
social club is a foregone con-
clusion. Practically all the bus
ness men in town have either
joined or signifed their intention
of doing so.
z. F. Wheeler is the manager
and he deserves the credit for the
organization of the club as he has
been the leading spirit from start
ro finish. There is a pool room,
card room, piano room and reading
where all the latest books maga-
zines and papers are available.
The Independent joins the buis
ness men of Elko in extending q

ALL ABOUT HIS TRIP
He Gives a Pretty Pen Picture of
How Democratic Presidents
Are Made---He Says the
Country is Safe.

Washington. D. G. March s, 1918.
Editor independent:
Long before this reaches you,
your readers will have read all
about the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson and what may say
will be an old story. Before writ
ing about that, perhaps something
about my trip will be of interest.
On February 23d, the Overland
Limited, eastbound. took on a lone
passenger at Elko, bound for the
Nations capital. There were nc
vacant berths and he found rest in
one smoking room and then another
until the observation car was OPEN
ed. The trip to Ogden was with
out incident. Reaching Ogden we
were informed that individual
drinking cups were used OIL all
trains, and that if we wanted to
drink water from there on, we
should purchase one. This was
done.
The train soon pulled out for
the east. The ride through Utah
and Wyoming on Sunday wss with
out special interest. Monday
morning found us at Cheyenne.
From there 60 Denver there was
nothing of interest. The weather
was cold and the ground was
covered with snow. From Denver
to Kansas City, there was but little
snow, but it continued cold. At
Topeka, Kansas, it was the coldest
morning g=of- the winter and the
snow was the deepest we had seen
Ion the trip. Kansas City to St.
:Eouis was daylight ride through
a rich and populous farming region.
Tuesday night at few minutes
after 9 o'clock, the train crossed
the Mississippi river and halted at
Cincinnati early Wednesday morn
ing. Leaving there after 9 o'clock
the route lay through southern
Ohio. the objective point being
Parkersburg, West Virginia. Leav-
inR Paikersburg at l o'clock in the
afternoon. Washington was reach
ed at 2:36 Monday morning.
After a nights rest we began to
see" Washington and have been
seeing" it ever since. The capitol,
the Office buildings, the House and
Senate were visited. Congressman
Booher and Senators Newlands and
Pittman were very Dusy men, but
all of them showed all the cour
tesies their time would permit. We
ha seen the House and Senate in
session and cannot say that we
we're impressed with their metho is
of doing business. We heard the

be about as disorderly a body of

SUFFRAGETTE PARADE.
On Saturday afternoon the "suff-
ragette hikers" reached Washing
tun. tired and footsore. After rest
ing over Sunday. the suffragettes
from all over the country paraded
through the streets of the city.
They made a splendid showing,
marching like veterans. 1t is esti-
mated that 10000 women. young,
old. handsome and otherwise, we're
in line. Your correspondent view
ed the procession from several points
and saw nothing out of the way with
the conduct of the crowd along the
streets, but the ladies have filed
serious charges against the police
for their failure to protect the
marchers from insult and abuse. If
the charges are true. the police
department of Washington City is
a disgrace to the nation.
INAUGURATION
The city began to fill up Sunday
with people from every section of
the union and by Tuesday morning
there were 100000 strangers in
Washington. all bent on doing honor
to President-elect Wilson. Pennsyl-
vania Avenue was filled with good
natured crowds. Gay decorations
and millions of electric lights made
the avenue scene of beauty, long
to be remembered. Crowds swarm
ed through the Capitol, visited the
House and Senate and viewed the
many objects of interest,
Well, Tuesday morning finally
came, and the City was early astir,
for new president was to take
the helm of government before the
close of the day. Thousands of
people gathered around the east
portico of the Capitol early in the
morning and held their positions
for six or seven hours. After what
seemed to your correspondent an
unnecessary delay. the procession
of notables marched down the steps
nf the Capitol and took their allor-
ted places, the President.elect Vice
president Marshall, President Taft,
Chief Justice White and others, took
their places on the platform. From
where your correspondent sat, the
distinguished party was in full
view. At the proper time Chief
Justice White, in his official robe
administered the oath and Prpsi-
dent Wilson faced thousands upon
thousands and delivered ar in
augural address that we believe will
become classic in American liter
ature. While we could not hear a
word we could hear the applause.
After the address came a parade
that lasted for several hours.
