The representatives of four orders of railway employees who returned yesterday from Joseph were not very favorably Impressed with the Idea of running the excursion to Joseph because the picnic ground is five miles from the end of the track and that means a long day with the round trip of 160 miles by rail. There are some very fine camping places along the Mlnam and there tome of the men wanted to go. They recognized, however, the strong de sire of the Joseph people to have the excursion come there and a com promise was sought. . Last night the representatives of the men met with J. H. O'Nell, trav eling passenger agent, and It was agreed to run a "split" excursion to Mlnam and Joseph. The rate to Ml nam is to be $1.50 and to Joseph $2.50 for the round trip. The date agreed on la June 20, It Is planned to make a long day pf it and not leave Joseph till after 6 O'clock. The Joseph people will provide teams for the five-mile drive to the picnic grounds and return. Pople must take lunch. ace how big or what shape. Come FRED S.
