Trip Real Success
The slightly weary but none the
less enthusiastic members OF the mo-
tor caravan which rolled into the
city at S:45 p. m. last night, thirty
minutes ahead of the schedule, know
that they had good time and are
confident that the trip was of real
benefit
When the sirens of the long line
of automobiles announced their ar
rival in the city last night, people
gathered at Broadway and Fourth
streets, listened to the Elks band,
always on the job, and congratulate
ed the boosters.
The concluding day Of the trip was
made in good time on good roads
most of the way and without acci
dent of any kind.
Compile the "Log'
The log of the good ship by truck
is being compiled today in store, Of
flee and home. 1t is narrative filled
with stories of good times, funny in
cidents, serious effort to accomplish
the mission of the tour and adventure.
On the return trip yesterday the
tourists visited ten towns, after leav
ing Mott early in the morning. The
crowd wasn't very anxious to leave
Mott, either, for the Mott people ap-
parently were out to out-dO the enter
,ainment given at Killdeer the night
before.
The peope of Mott gave the boosters
a dinner Thursday night and speeches
followed. Senator Jacobson, of Het-
finger county. acted as POSTMASTER
and P r. Fields, w. H. Stutsman,.
P. D. Norton and Tom Hall respond
ed. A dance followed the banquet.
Flasher Entertains
Passing through Burt. Odessa, New
Leipzig, Elgin, He'll and Leith, all
thriving towns, the party arrived at
Carson for lunch during the progress
of county play day. Hundreds of peo-
pie in the town gave the visitors a
welcome hand-shake. Leaving Car
son the party visited Lark and when
it reached Flasher about . p. m. the
members were beginning to wonder
just what they were going to find
to eat when they got home.
Ladies of Flasher must have known
that a good appetite is one of the
sure results Of such tour, for when
the Bismarck men reached Flasher
the ladies of the town spread out
4 lunch which satisfied the craving
of the most healthy appetite. After
Flasher was given hearty farewell,
the party made a bee-line for home,
crossed the Missouri with the aid of
Capt. Steve Welch, pilot of the ferry
boat and drove into Main street.
Strong for "the Boss"
The bunch is strong for P. r.
Fields, generalissimo Of the tour. p.
RS word was law and no one hes
itated to obey the mandate Of "the
boss" or his lieutenants, Charley An
derson and AL Rosen. And P. r. IS
strong for the gang" for the only
order necessary was suggestion.
AL Rosen has two new vOcatiOns
as the result of the two booster tours
either the conductor of side-show
or an after-dinner speaker. AIS in
PRODUCTION of Sappho and his political
Oration at killdeer gained for him
notoriety and not a little fame.
Charley Anderson established
record as a -word-a-mnute talker
just outside of Beulah when the cara
van was held up by cowboys armed
with pistols and told to "surrender."
Charley not only talked the cowboys
out of raiding the party but is rumor-
er to have talked them out of cigars.
There is one man with the party
who won't forget John Homan, who
induced him to take hold of couple
Of electric wires. The shock hasn't
worn out yet.
Like tho Camera
Burt Finney classified as real pho
togra pher along the route, as well as
an expert administer of first aid to
the injured In one town he got four
little kiddies in row to take their
pictures. He made one snapshot and
turned for another and found his four
little subjects had grown to six. He
turned again and the party had grown
to eight. Not having a panoramic
camera he forced to disappoint some
earnest little publicity seekers.
,Burt's car was named the "bank-
ers' special" as he piloted A. S. Bols-
ter and George Russ. The latter acted
as relief driver George was voted a
good banker.
Postmaster Frank Reed made the
trip and be it said to his credit he
! never failed to greet every post
mistress along the line, and quite a
lot of postmasters, too.
