RooSEVEIT'S GUIDE.
oranted Special License to Conduct =
Hunting Lodge.

Jacob Borah. the veteran guide of
Colorado. who has had charge of more
than one of President Roosvelt's fam
Gus hunting expeditions in the state,
mas been granted by the government a
SPECIAL personal license to continue
conducting a hunting lodge at Deep
Lake, on the White River forest reser-
walton. This is the notice received by
Deputy United States District Attorney
knaebel from the secretary of the De-
partment of Agriculture. AS a result
the proceeding brought by Mr. knaebel
asking that the regular license which
was secured by Borah to conduct the
lodge IN the first place be Cancelled
Were dismissed.
IL seems that Borah once sold the
place 10 other parties. who turned it
into questionable resort. He after
wafd bought it back. but the forest
rangers feared he might sell 1t again
to Irresponsible persons and made the
application for canceling the license.
In The letter OF the secretary of agri-
culture it is stated that the guide has
given sufficient personal assurances
that he will never again let it so into
other hands and would take charge Of
it In person.
The lodge has been for several years
the rendezvous of lovers of hunting.
and 1t was through the efforts of some
OF these that the government granted
Borah the privilege which he has OBJ
