never felt better in his life, and he is LOOK
ing as well as he says he feels. His face is
tanned almost to a bronze hue
The hunt has been remarkably successful
considering the fact that the party had

snow, and sometimes both fell continually
in the West Divide creek country. The
moisture froze on the trails and made
them impossible most of the time. Re-

in the mountains under such weather con-
ditions.
Ten Bears Killed
Ten bears and four bobcats or lynx were
taken by the party during the fortnights

secured by the President are large and
handsome. JJr. Lambert got one 0ne SKIN
in spite of the amusement the others of the
party derived from the yearlings he killed.
All the pelts are at the shop of a taxider
mist, who has the skins cured ready for
the tanner. When the tanning has been
completed the skins will be mounted as
rugs. The mounting will be plain without
felted edging. All the rugs will be made
up with open mouth and eyes. The form
for the heads is of papier mache, with
natural-looking teeth of enameled metal.
The Presidents greeting to the people of
Genwood Springs took place from the ele-
waited court of the Hotel Colorado. The
spectators stood the ground below.
Mayor Parkinson introduced the chief ex-
ecutive and the crowd cheered. After q
moment the President began to speak. His
address was short, but he told the people
how much he believed in Colorado, and in
dorsed the national irrigation projects as
we'll as private enterprises. He thanked
the citizens for permitting him to enjoy a
three weeks vacation. He said he liked 1T
very much and he found that 1.-The bears
are all right, both in quantity and quality"
This is a stock phrase that the President
uses freely in speaking of children, and its
adaptation to the bears created much
amusement. The President apologized for
the shortness of his speech by saying that
he had breakfasted early and had had
nothing to eat since 7:30 O. clock
From the stand he went to a private
dining room of the hotel, where he had as
his guests DR.. Lambert, Mr.. Stewart. Mr.
Loeb, F. II. Lyle and w. B. Devereaux
