AT the commercial club in the even

the members of the party and they
gave them a royal good time and well
come. There was a nice lunch in
readiness at 8 o'clock and it is need
less to say that this part of the affair
was something that every member en-
Joyed. The visitors were at their best
and them members of the local o]rganiza-

all had a good time. There was plenty
to eat, there were all kinds of smokes,
and everything that was possible was
done by the locals to make the visitors
feel at home. There were no attempts
at speech making, but the tourists did
q good deal of talking as to their trip
and the good time they were having,
and the time passed pleasantly.
AT the cars yesterday the tourists
were visited by Fargo people, were
given the glad hand and made to feel
at home. Many of the ladies in the
party had the pleasure of taking a
boat ride up the river and there were
several smokers and receptions in the
commercial club rooms in the after
noon and evening and these, too, were
most enjoyable. Secretary Richardson
of the auto club, and Secretary Hardy
Of the commercial club were present
and assisted in all that took place. 1t
was a great reception to the visitors
and they all appeared to enjoy it.

that man could possibly want, and the
people were very comfortable. People
of Fargo were taken through the train
and shown all about it. In The Pho
