ford Pinchot, chief of the bureau of
forestry has ordered telephone lines
established throughout the state. E.
H. Leslie, a government supervisor,
left here Monday for Delta county,

UNCLE SANS FLEET SAILs.
Stirring Scenes as President Roose-
welt Watches 1t Depart.

Old Point Comfort, Va.-SiXteen
hard hitting, steel belted American
battleships, gun bristling and burly OF
girth, but sparkling white in their i'm
mediate dressings of peace. sailed
away Monday under the dazzling sun
of cloudless winter sky on their IA
nous twin-sea expedition of $4,000
miles, along foreign shores and chang
ing climates, to the west coast of the
United States.
President Roosevelt from the
bridge Of his cruiser-yacht, the May
flower, personally led the magnificent
four mile line of fighting vessels dur
ing the first stage of the voyage.
From the anchorage ground in
Hampton Roads to the Horseshoe
bend of Chesapeake bay his eagle
crested flag of blue pointed the way
to the fleets new home ct the Golden
Gate.
The blue of the sky. the stretch of
green sea miles, the glistening of
spotless hills, the squirt of foam
crested bow waves, the cheering of
sailors afloat and friends ashore, the
breeze-blown strains of "Auld Lang
Syne," floating across the waters. the
blare of trumpets, the ruffle of drums,
the flash of signals and the boom OF
saluting cannon marked the departure
of the fleet, presenting to the people
who watched a spectacle they will
never forget and to the world at large
the reality of the trimmest, snuggest,
most homogeneous, most thoroughly
equipped, most mobile and self-reliant
assemblange of first-class battleships
ever gathered in one command.
There was not a ship in the line old
enough to have smelled the powder
or taken the shot of Manila or Santi-
ago-stories written scarcely ten
years ago in the history of nations.
All we're modern of design and arm
ament-examples or the aggressive
seagoing navy which the P 'sident
has declared to be so essential to the
peace of the country.
Attaches of foreign legations and
embs ssies at Washington and many
correspondents who have seen war
service on foreign journals freely de
clared that today's naval display was
the most impressive they had ever
seen The facility with which the big
vessels were handled, the manner in
which they were maneuvered into sin
gle column formation and the perfect
alignment which was maintained tC
the southwark turn from the cape
called out the warmest admiration
The thrill of the beautiful marine pic
lure was felt until the last wind-bown
spiral Of smoke was lost on the hori
Zon.
The sailing of the fleet was pre-
ceded by a reception on the deck OF
the Maytlowcr, which shortly after
eight o'clock this morning steamed
into the center of the anchored fleet
Following are some of the salient
facts in regard to the long cruise:
Number of battleships, 16; distance
to be covered, $4,000 miles; number
of torpedo boats, 6; men aboard ships
$4,000; probable time of trip 1876
days; longest run between ports, g..
105 miles; number of guns, $50; total
tonnage of fleet. 226,43G; average
speed of battleships, 18 knots; of de.
stroyers, 20 knots; speed to be main,
taintd, 10 knots.

the completion of the cruise around
the Horn He will come here to Visit
his sister, Mrs. B. Zevely Of ~ East

Rear Admiral Evans will retire as
vice admiral in August after having
completed the long cruise. He Will pc
met by his wife in San Francisco and
according to letter received by MS
sister few days ago in which he out
lined his plans, he expects to return
overland to his home in Washington.
He has promised Mrs. Zevely to stop
in Colorado Springs for visit if pos
sible. This will bring him here early
in September.
Admiral Evans has been West only
once before and that was on flying
trip in 1901 when he was detailed to
act as one of the judges in court
martial at San Francisco. He passed
through Denver at that time, but did
not come to Colorado Springs. Mrs.

only few days ago." she said, "but
of course he didn't tell me much about
the fleet and its movements. His let

He told ME of his plans after his re-

There have been great many
stories as to how Robley got his
name,' said Mrs. Zevely. 1T has beer
said that it dates back to his schoo
days at Annapolis and also that it was
due to various incidents in his later
naval life, but the episode which really
gave him the name Fighting Bob
occurred in Chile about fourteen years
ago. At that time he was sent tc
command a vessel anchored at Val
paraiso and representing the United
States government. 1t was at the
time of an insurrection and there had
| been some trouble with the marines
Word was sent to him by the Chilean
government that he would have to sal

language that he would remain wherc
he was as long as it pleased him, ami
that if any one wanted to come and
