I'VE went there because the Geographic
commiss had come across the upper
course OF this river. flowing they knew
not where which they had christened the
river Duvida meaning the river OF doubt.

course was

on it, between the 59th and 60th meridians
OF longitude west from Greenwich. never

dams. Where We embs rked IL had AL

neighborhood Of go kilometres. We went
down in canoes something In the neigh

by steamer to the mouth in the neighbor-
hood OF $40 To 100 kilometres. making
from Loo to i.5O kilometres all told.

THE upper part OF that river that we
traversed was not only unknown but
urguessed on the maps. and no civilized
man had ever been there or ever traversed
the country through which IL flowed The
lower course was known to the rubber
men. but not known to the cartogra pher.

Colonel Roosevelt reached Progress
sive headquarters Immediately follow
ing his lecture at the National Geo
graphic Society The newspaper men
and a score of Washington Progress
sives were invited into the conference
room while Mr.. Roosevelt consulted in
turn the various members OF the
House. Senator Clapp was the only
Progressively inclined member OF the
upper chamber present.
Colonel Roosevelt suddenly raped
upon the table and said he had state

that the third party is in the fight to

is concerned. After this announce

waters OF this river. We would not have
crossed the highland wilderness at all, II

Roosevelt Gives Some Advice.

Colonel Roosevelt was rather IT,
tigued when he reached the Progress
sive headquarters, but this apparently
did not diminish the vigor of his al
vice to his partisans. who gathered
about him in turn.
He called over Representatives Ste
phens. Bell and Nolan, OF California
and obtained a lineup on the Califor-
MIA situation. Then he held a confat
with Victor Murdoch. and next the two
Michigan Progressives caught the
Rooseveltian ear.
AS the colonel talked he pounded a
clenched fist into an open palm as
belligerently az though he had never
suffered from jungle fever.
Progressive Congressman applauded
Justify as Mr.. Roosevelt concluded the
announcement Of his campaign plans
Senator Poindexter was not present
but his secretary was allowed TO re-
main in the room during the talk over
the party plans.
The colonel's reception in Washington
from the moment of his arrival was a
clamorous one. An enthusiastic crowd
awaited his coming on the sun baked
plaza OF the Union Station. Cheers and
waving of hats welcomed him as they
had at each stopping place in his rapid
progress. and handcasps which he &C
cepted with characteristic satisfaction.
A half hours chat with the President
at the White House, a lecture before
the National Geographic Society, a
dinner in his honor as an explorer
