Washington, Aug. 6.--Before his
departure, the president made public
a tentative outline of his trip through
the west and south this fall. 1t will
be a wide swing around practically
the entire United States, embracing a
journey apprOximating 1900 miles
as long as the cruise of the battle
ship feet from Hampton Roads,
through the Straits Of Magellan TO
San Francisco Bay. The trip will be
one of the most notable ever made
by a president. 1t will be as diverse
as could well be imagined, and no
Seeing all-America" tour could be-
devised to embrace as many points OK
interest in so brief a space of time as
President Taft will give to his jaunt
to the Pacific Coast and back through
the great states of the south.
The president, accompanied by
Secretary Fred V. Carpenter, Captain
| Archibald w. Butt, his military aide,
several White House attaches and
| perhaps a guest or two for various
parts of the trip, will travel in a pri-
vate car, attached for the greater part
of the time to regular trains but run
ming special" every now and then to
| fill in engagements in the smaller
towns along the route and in the
more remote sections where trains
are rev and 1af between.
During the tour the president will
traverse the Royal Gorge of the
ROCKY Mountains, will visit the Alas
lka-Yukon Exposition at Seattle, will
spend three days in the famed Yo-
semitic Valley, will stop off at the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado and
follow the trail down into the depths
Of that giant abyss, will greet the
president of Mexico on the Interna-
tionaI bridge over the Rio Grande at
Ell Paso on october is, will take a
four-days' sail down the Mississippi
river, from st. Louis to New Orleans,
with various stops en- route, and will
spend four days on the ranch OF his
brother, Charles P. Taft, near Corpus
Christi, Texas.
