Rupert two hours later. The party was In charge of Ex-Governor Dennis Murphree and "was thoroughly representative of all classes of the community. They brought with them an exhibition car showing the products of the state, the chief of rhlch is cotton, although fruits and vegetables and timber are also important. Speaking of the exhibition car, one of the prominent members of the party said they had taken these trips each summer for a number of years and they found it to be good publicity. They sold approx'-mately two hundred tickets and the price included the exhibition car so that there was no cost to the state. They did not consider the car had any commercial value In Canada but it was educative and cost nothing extra. At the station a formal welcome on behalf of the city was extended by M. P. McCaffery who expressed the hope that all would enjoy the visit. He drew attention to the fact .that, while they came from the I United States, they were not rooked upon as foreigners. Of late, while all the world was talking of war, Canada and the United States were drawing closer together in the cause of peace. ed Mr. McCaffery for the welcome given him. He reciprocated the plea for closer co-operation and spoke of the. neighborly feeling between the two countries. He then presented Mr. McCaffery with a huge water melon, which he said was one of the small ones, the others being too big to bring along. He made a happy speech and there was. much enthusiasm. The trip was described as a good-will trip, taken chiefly for enjoyment and education. ,The party will arrive back in Prince Rupert this evening and, after another two hour stop, will continue through to Vancouver where they will again be met by i their special train after they have visited Victoria.
