and the bulk of Admiral Togo's
big fleet Is kept in position where
it can be hurled against the Rus

Accompanying the main body of
the feet are the two floating furna-

ships are mounted huge floating

the Japanese suffer at the hands of

It Is the general opinion that the
battle will take place In the China

admitted that the Japanese feet

The battle is sure to be one of the

The members and their husbands
and few guests were driven to the
hotel in time for the address of Pres

paired to the DIM ngroom where table
beautifully decorated with ferns, sm-

twenty five.
The banquet over, the party were
eager for the third part of the even

at 630 and at that hour a great crowd
had gathered on the lawn near the
Colorado and the welcome he received
showed more plainly than words can
tell the esteem in which President
Roosevelt is held by our people. The
president was accompanied to the
platform by Mayor Parkison who pre-
sented him to the people in the fol
lowing brief introduction:

The address of President Roosevelt

Courtesy for President

One of the many considerate atten
tions shown the presidential party by
the townspeople was the playing of
the Mandolin club Saturday and Sun
day evenings. The club volunteered
furnishing music at the hotel on the
two evenings in which President
Roosevelt was guest and the music
just seemed to complete the charming
surroundings and give the pleasant
hospitality of the beautiful hostelry
an additional touch without which
something must certainly have been
lacking.
Considering that the club is only in
its infancy, having been organized
but a short time, their playing is very
good indeed and their music was APP
preciated by not only the president
party but the other guests of the hotel
and the Glenwood people We're justly
proud of the ability ana the progress

After Most Successful Hunt, the Chief

for Nations Capital
DECLARES He HAD TINE OF HIS LIFE

Within the past week Glenwood
Springs has been signally honored in
that she has had as her guest the
first man of the President
Roosevelt, and it can be truly said
that no honor ever received by us will
be appreciated by our people and
treasured in their memories as will
this eventful visit of our chief magis-
trate.
Last Saturday, when it was learned
that the president had finished his
famous hunt and had started horse
back from New Castle to Glenwood
our citizens hurried to the Hotel Colo
RADIO to await the arrival of the hon
ored guest. Places of business were
locked up and residences were deserted
that their occupants might view the
famous hunter in the garb of the hills.
All eyes were fixed upon the road in
the vicinity of the lime kiln and
when finally the party composed of
President Roosevelt, Doctor Lambert
and p B. Stewart rounded the hill
and came in slght the statement given
to the bear by Steele in one of his car
toons That's him on the white
horse became the general exciama-
ton of the crowd.
The president was loudly cheered
as he rode up to the west entrance of

the president bade his friends who
had given him such splendid time
in the hills, Il hearty farewell wishing
them good luck and asking them to
remember him. This request, how
ever, was superiluous, as the boys all
declare him the most agreeable guest

Sunday morning the president and
his party attended the Presbyterian
church where the Rev j. Wilson
Currens preached an able discourse to
q vast congregation, the little church
being altogether inadequate to accom-
modate the great crowd. The interior
was beautifully decorated with flowers
and national colors while the entrance
was festooned with the American flag.
The president sat with Secretary Loeb
on his left and P B. Stewart and tine
secret service men Immediately behind
him. He Joined heartily in the sing
ing and listened very attentively to
the sermon. The president and his
party walked to church and back to
the hotel, stopping on their return at
Frank Hayes taxidermy where Mr..
Roosevelt examined the skins of the
bears he had slain.
During the day hundreds of people
had arrived from Grand junction,
Leadville, Aspen and intermediate
points and the look and expression of
disappointment was great when they
heard that the president would not
vary from his rule which is not to
address the people on Sunday. How
ever, it was represented to Secretary
Loeb that many of the people had
come 100 miles in order that they
might see and hear the man for which
the entire West has such admiration
