ment has been asked for advice and information.
Hundreds of able-bodied men out there. the pro-
motors write. are anxious to enlist in the re-
serve, and II the department will give proper
support they promise to have the finest organi-
cation in the West. They fail to say how ships
are to get out to Colorado for the practical in
struction Of the men. and give no intimation of
the water facilities there.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt will write to
the Colorado promoters and tell them that II
they can maulge to get a war vessel across
country and fnd ample sea room in tho State
for practical instruction in seamanship, the
Government will be pleased to assist tho new
organization; otherwise the navy cannot en-
courage the movement.
A Colorado Congressman has been enlisted in
support Of the scheme by some of his con-
stituents. and came to the department to-day to
help It along. He says his people are in earnest,
and that II the department helps them they will
develop a first-class organization.
This Is the first serious request ever made to
the department by an inland State, whose water
facilities are confined to small streams, for per-
mission to form q reserve. Mr.. Roosevelt will
suggest that II it Is impracticable to get a war
vessel across country to Colorado, prairie
schooners might be utilized by the new organi-
cation.
