It doesn't take much advertising and
very little urging to get a crowd out
when such nn occasion presents itself as
tliat of last night, when the Idaho
soldier boys passed through the citv.
stopping at tho Umatilla House long
enougti to get their Etipper. There was,
therefore, a very large crowd gathered
when the first section of the special
train pulled in at about 7 o'clock. The
Commercial Club band struck un a
lively air as they stopped in front of
tlie hotel, and the loud cheers which
went up from tho crowd was rather a
surprise, coming from a people who are
generally undemonstrative. I5ut our
j people appreciate the soldier boys from
every etate, and are not slow in telling
about it. Everyone who has kept up
with the history of the recent war knows
what a brave record the Idaho regi
ment haB made, and the idea of having
the members in our city, if but for a
short time, was enough to awakeu en
thusia'sm. .
There were about 140 on the first
section, and 250 on the seond, which
reached here at 11:15, many of their
men having dropped off between Sun
Francisco and Portland. A number of the
officers had their wives with them. A
good many of the men had taken lunch
on the train and did not care for supper,
but tlnse who did seemed more than
pleased with tlie fare which they re
ceived. The last section did not stop
until they reached the depot, and then
but for a few moments.
They were a nice looking lot of men,
and made themselves very sociable with
our people, who gathered in the otlico
and on the walk outside to greqt them
and many to search for friends. It
would ben strange thing if among so
many men who have just been given the
liberty of civilians, a few were not
overly hilarious, and so among them
were two or three whoso snirits were
overflowing with wo might call it patri
otism, the fighting propensities of one

terest taken in their heroic deeds in our ,
behalf, was evidenced last night when, j
in spite of the many counter attractions,
such a large crowd gathered at the Con
gregational church to hear Earl Sanders
speak on the recent campaign in the
Philippines and the experiences of the
Oregon boys. Aa a general thing it is
impossible to get even a moderate sized
crowd to attend a lecture in The Dalles,
but last night was an exception.
The people were met at the door by
James Elton, Harry Fredden, Fred Ken
nedy, Senaca Fonts and John Cooper,
former members of Company L. The
boys were attired in their Khake uni
forms, and acted as door keepers and
ushers, also explaining to tho audience
tlie curios which were displayed during
the evening. There were also a num
ber of "our boys" in tho audience.
Earl was also attired in his uniform
and presented a soldierly appearance as
he took the rostrum and was greeted by
hearty applause. All had been anxious
to hear the story of tho war from the
lips of one of our own boys, and it was a .
pleasure to listen to the speaker, who
possesses elocutionary ability which
added much to its rendition. Begin
