The league received notice that d.
C. Willoughby of the Naturita Valley
Land Company had donated Gao acres
of land for a site for a national home
fol aged newspaper men.
This followed the contribution OF
Simon Guggenheim of s2,500 for the
erection of such home. The idea of
Mr. Willoughby is that 200 acres of the
land shall be for a building site and
the rest for orchards, which. he says,
will produce from $4,000 to $4,000
| per year.
