committee escorted the visitors tc
7he Country Club house, some dis

dinner was served, each of the guests
having a whole wild duck, and a
small pumpkin pie, as part of the
menu. A very pretty menu card
with a picture of the statue of the
Indian woman, Sakakawea, was
presented to the guests, together
with flags.
The evening meeting was at the
auditorium which was crowded with
an attentive audience. w. J. Prater,
chairman of the Republican Burleigh

with Governor Hanna, who made a
few remarks at the opening of the
proceedings. The arrangements for
the reception of the visitors were
complete and an interesting occa-

cal program was given.
On the trip from jamestown to
Bismarck many of the western
scenes of prairie farm life met the
gaze of the visitors for the first
time. Threshing operations, seen
from the car, the vast fields of

ventures on the road but no serious
mishap, and their cute little bug OF
a car received many columns OF
press notices, and the cause they
represented, a great deal of adver-

States.
