The Transcontinental express carried Prime Minister W M Hughes, Treasurer Watt, and Minister for the Navy Cook through Northam where a warm reception followed.

Grahame corrected earlier figures, noting the adjustment was 14000 to 15000 pounds and that 5000 pounds should have been cited, not 415000.
