GLASGOW LUNCH
Tourists Entertained BY Chamber OF
COmmerce-Many Compliments
for New Park.

The Duluth to Glacier Park party,
comprising II cars and some forty
people, were entertained at luncheon
at the Just Inn and at Alsop's Tea
Room last Monday noon by the Glas-
gov Chamber of Commerce. Officers
Of the Roosevelt Highway present
were, General Secretary Tracy of
Duluth, Field Secretary Hauke, Trail
Master Christler and H. B. Tyson,
secretary of the Montana Division.
The tour were escorted over the
Montana state line at Mondak, with
appropriate ceremonies, Sunday morn
ing, and were given Sunday expert
ence in Montana during which there
were something doing, with thrills,
every minute, and far into the night
Religious service at the old Indian
worshipping place conducted by Chief
Black Bead, in full regalia, and by
Rev. Christler, a reception at Wolf
Point by the stampede performers and
an air plane, a banquet, wild west
performance, a badger fight in which
some tenderfeet performed an import
ant part, and shooting scrap during
dinner are some Of the things that
happened. The perfect day wound
up with dance at night.
The party was somewhat disorgan-
lied and very tired when it arrived
here at about 1890 Monday. Secre.
taries Tracy and Hauke had been de.
tained at Wolf Point, having a cal
repaired; at Nashua Trail Master
Christler had left notifying Glasgow
people to a subordinate, who succeed
ed in balling things up beautifully
In response to phone message from
Nashua, the Glasgow reception COM
mittee drove out on the trail about
ten miles, at II o'clock, expecting to
meet the party which they were ad-
vised had left Nashua half an hour
before. Not seeing any signs of the
tourists the Glasgow committee decid-
ed that the party were on the valley
road, so they returned to Glasgow. AS
result Of the mismanagement nc
committee met the party on the road
On arrival they were at once taken to
lunch. The elegant little affair was
highly appreciated and praised by all
as the most satisfactory and appe-
tising they had enjoyed on the trip
1t was not the intention of the Glas.
gov committee to do anything elab-
crate or more than give the party a
tasty and conventional reception, as
they thought the tourists would be
fed up on wild west stuff, which
proved true, and the good taste OF
the Glasgow people was highly com
plimented.
Many of the party visited the new
tourists camp, which shone in the pure
sunshine like new dollar, the gildec
eagle and new flag adding the finishing
touches to a scene most picturesquely
inviting to all, and the praises of the
party were lavish.
1t was generally pronounced the best
equipped and most delightfully."- locat
ed of any on the line from Duluth.
Just before leaving short addresses
to the committee were made by Rev
Christler and Secretary Tracy. Rev
Christler said he knew Glasgow peo
pie, and that they were the salt of the
earth. Mr.. Tracy said that the en-
tertainment here marked Glasgow as
one of the high spots on the trip.
The tour left at about 2 o'clock with
much cheering and with the bes1
wishes of all. They expected to ar
rive at the Park Wednesday, the other
stops being Malta, Havre and Cut
