Denver.-Final consummation of the
sale of Estes park has just been ef-
fected on behalf of the earl of Dun
raven ani Lord Barrymore. by their
lawyer and attorney In fact, Frank
Prestidge. of this city. who has been
acting on their behalf for the last five
years In managing and looking after
their property and affairs in Colorado,
says the Republican. The purchasers
are +. o. Stanley Of Newton. Mass.
and Burton ID. Sanborn of Greeley, and
they now have the legal title vested in
them.
1t Is interesting to recall the facts
in connection with the acquisition or
Estes park by Lord Dunraven. 1t was
his original intention to create n great
game preserve similar to those in the
Highlands OF Scotland and in the west
of Ireland. by the acquisition OF all the
land in Estes park. but owing to the
difficulties confronting him with set
tiers. he was reluctantly constrained
to abandon the scheme.
Had he been permitted to exercise n
free hand the results would have been
most advantageous to this state. for
the influx OF numbers of the English
nobility and aristocracy bent upon
sport, would have advertised Colorado
all over the world. and the expendi
ture Of large sums of money In i'm.
porting Irish thoroughbreds and
winger game. must of necessity have
created n desire on the part OF the
best sportsmen on the other side Of
the Atlantic and In the East. to pay
the park periodical visits. until 1t
would have become the most attrac-
tive hunting ground in the West. AS
1t is now, its development as a sum-
mer resort which will equal Davos
Platz. Is being pushed rapidly forward
by the new owners. and as they pos
sess both the finances and the enter
prise. II is almost safe to predict that
the park will ultimately become one
of the greatest charms of this state.
With the new roads, which have
| been constructed under the personal
supervision of Mr. Stanley. and the
lines of steam automobiles which he
! himself has inaugurated. the time re-
quired to get to the park from Love
land on the Colorado & Southern rail-
way. and Lyons on the Burlington. mas
been greatly reduced.
The owners are building n magnin-
cent hotel. replete with all modern
conveniences. which will accommo.
/ uate 200 visitors. Artistic cottages arc
also being erected.
At considerable cost the owners
have also succeeded in establishing n
fish hatchery. from which the Big
| Thompson river which flows through
the lands acquired. will be stocked
with trout.

AFTER LONG AGAIN.

TUCSON, Nov. 10.-County School Superintendent Frank l.. Culin has been very busy for a week in per fecting the arrangements for the gath ering of this week of the teachers of the territory, who meet in Tucson for the first time in several years. Thus far none of tbe officers of the association have arrived in the city. Miss Myrtle Smyster Fitch, the secre- tary, however, being here as she IS a Tucsonan.
 The coming of President David Starr Jones of Leland Stanford uni versity at Palo Alto, Cal, one of the greatest educators O. the country, IS a matter in which not only the teach CTS themselves. but all the people or the city as well, take an interest. He is recognized as one of the greatest thinkers of the time, and is as well an abie and attractive speaker. The ses- sion at which he delivers an address will doubtless be heavily attended by the lay folk, speaking from school standpoint.
 The main point of sensational In- terest is likely to be the renewal Of a fight against Territorial School Su- perintendant Long. the second section of the battle which was opened last year. At that time the superintend- ents in the leading cities Of the ter ritory came near getting resolution through the associations practically condemning Long for pernicious activ. ity, and for being, as 1t Is alleged, out of sympathy with the pracs cal school men of the territory. The resolution was shaved and pruned, and finally gotten rid of altogether, but 1t had an aftermath. It's most conspicuous re suit was the retirement of Superinten. dent V. NJ. Ruthraun, rom the. city schools of Tucson. as he had support ed the resolution, and thus incurred the antagonism of Long. The latter has said that he will get the scalp oi the Phoenix superintendent tnrs spr1ng Private advices are 10 the effecr that, as Longs term expires soon Dy statute of limitation, there will be all effort made to revive the resolution | this year. and thus prevent his reap
 pointment by the new adminsistra ton.

CABINET FOR
 TAFT IS BEING
 CONSTRUCTED
Political Wise Men Take Com fort in Predicting Who Will Be of New Presidents Off, cial Family.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The an
 nual cabinet states, which invariably i follow the election of new president, are making their appearances, and DO 1 litical wiseacres are busy in forecast
 ing the names of those who will make
 up President-elect Taft's official fam
 fly. Of course, there is no authorita-
 tive ground in connection vita the
 new cabinet, as MT. Taft has not giV- en the slightest indication of his m | tentions, so far as can be learned Bus
 this does not stop the usual conjecture and gossip at the various rendezvous | for public men, and it Is expected that
 various Taft cabinet states will make their appearance from this time for ward with more or less outward ap pearance of probability.
 In tais speculative comment which is being indulged in, the name of Sec retary Root Is often mentioned as likely to continue at the head of the state department. If he desires to stay. It Is known that Mir. Taft has ! a high regard for his former cabinet ! associate, but whether MT. Root would desire to carry the burden of a cab ] inet position which has already taxed | his strength and health, the cabinet wiseacres are not able to determine. | It appears to be the general impress sion that Secretary Luke F. Wright
 will be another cabinet officer to re- main, owing to the warm personal at taehment existing between himseit and the presidentJelect. including their close association in the Philippines during the constructive period of the | American work there Opinion seems | to be divided, however, as to whether Mir. Wright would retain the war port folio. or would be given wider range
 In his chosen profession, the law, as
 attorney general. Wright for eight years was attorney general of Ten
 ressee and his father was chief justice of Tennessee.
 It appears to be generally accepted
 in the current speculation that Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the repub lican national committee, will be in cauded In the Forthcoming cabinet. probably as postmaster general, post which he would nave practical quail | fications, owing to his service, until a few months ago, as first assistant postmaster general in the present ao-
 ministration, position he voluntarily reiinquished to take charge personal
 ly of Mir. Taft's interests.
 The defeat of Congressman Hepburn
 of Iowa, long chairman of the com
 merce commission O the house, has
 aroused some comment as to his avail
 ability as secretary of commerce ana labor. The commerce commission, ol which MT. Hepburn Is the head, had | much to do with creating the depart ment of commerce and his name has been identified with most of the meas ures of commerce enacted into laN
 within recent years. The mention oi his name is purely inferential, however from the fact that his defeat for con gress removes nim on March next the date that Mir. Taft will be inaug
 urated.
 As to the agricultural department ithe slate makers assumed that an agriculturalist will be named, and al Secretary Wilson comes within th' lclass and has held the agriculture

portfolio through several successive ad- ministrations, as well as being clOre associate of Mir Taft's there Is dls- position to include his name in the list of continuing cabinet possibilities.
 It is assumed pretty generally that MT Taft will look to hissown state for some of his cabinet material. and this leads to conjecture concerning ex-Goyernor Herriek of Ohio. whose name has been suggested in connec- ton vita the secretaryship of the treasury. Ex-Governor HerTick has long been identified with financial af- fairs. nas taken an active interest in measures of governmental finance, and has been vice president of the Amer ican Bankers association. The name of A. B. Hepburn of New York Is also mentioned. MT. Hepburn was former ly superintendent of the banking de- partment of New York state. was later comptroller of the currency.
 The navy and interior portfolios also come in for attention from the guessers. In fact the capabilities and availibilities of most men in public lie are just now being scanned with reference to fitting them into the various places of this problematicai cabinet list.
 Among those referred to in gen eral way are two who have Deen actively engaged on Mir. Taft's ad- visory campaign committee. Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts ana Charles F. Brooker of Connecticut anu the active head of the organization of republican clubs, John Hays Hara- mond.
 The position of the last named as a mining engineer leads to conJectue . about his availability for head of a department of mines If this long con tenplated legislative project is ever realized. However. these latter names and indeed all of them. are entireis the product of the active and fertile slate makers, whose zeal is stimulated with unfaiiing regularity on tae nor row of a change in the presidency

I would be pleased 10 serve my country with all the energy that is left in my being, and am now strong and young again"
 His friends laughed that they coula not make it clear to him that he is too good a business man, too rich a man, and too good an organizer, co- the American people to choose as their representative.
 And in the same simplicity he may have said: If the people want to know for whom I shall vote, why should I not say that, balancing the two candidates, shall vote for Taft?' And he will propably wonder for many a day why his endorsement: ol Taft was so indignantly rejected by the party and by President Roosevelt, the party's spokesman.
 President Rockefeller learned early in life that his ambitions in a bust ness way were too large for him to NoAh oASOOS AAOA4s bAI A4C SCOtuo utldOlt to learn late in life that he Is tco big man to express his opinion in the polit.caI f,Gio-

"Oh, 9 said the senior banker, q have been too closely identified with financial interests" "Thank you" said the younger banker, flor the dubious corn plinent of telling me that my finan- cial interests are so small that I am at liberty to say what think"
 There are three kings in the wofi l who have yet to learn that they can no; speak otherwise than officially King Rockefeller, King Roosevelt and King William of Germany.
