lake Borah Doubts Wisdom of Ex.PreS.
ident's Visit Among the Wi|ds
Of African Jung|es
He WAS SICK IN THIS COUNTY

81 do not believe the President can
stand the trip through Africa. Why, he
was sick four days when he was out
here in the Divide creek country a few
years ago. He could not leave the cab
in and DR.. Lambert made him go to bed.
The President told me he was filled
with ma alaria while he was in Cuba, and
that he had never been able to rid
his system of it, and feared he never
would. He is subject to fever and he
said that every time he took cold it
nervy and will go as long as he can,
but l am afraid he will not be there
long. ! know that if he takes Dr..
Lambert with him the doctor will make
him come out of there. l have q
chance TO go with the party, but | am
undecided. | am afraid the fever
would get hold of me and do not want
it,
Thus did Jake Borah, the noted west
ern guide of Gypsum, speak to a report
er of the Post Wednesday morning of
the proposed hunting trip of President
Roosevelt among the wilds of Africa.
Continuing, Mr.. Borah said: ''The
President is one of the best men ! was
ever out with. He is experienced IN
camp life, and was always ready to do
his part in the camp work. He would
make his own bed. Why, one time the
President said to me: ''Don t you think

WILL TRY DOUBLE HARNESS

Earl Litten, of Palis:,dc, and Miss
Blanche johnson were married in this
city Tuesday evening of this week by
Rev. Greer A. Foote, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe johnson, of Avon, but came to
this city some few weeks ago, pre-
sumably to attend school. 1t is said
that she has known Mr.. Litten some
two years but the fact that she was not
yet eighteen years of age caused the
intended wedding to be delayed. That
all difficulties might be removed the
mother of the bride was called to the
city, arriving here Tuesday morning.
She gave her consent to the marriage
and the happy event was the result.
The ceremony was performed in the
Presbyterian manse, and was witnessed
by few of the immediate relatives of
the bride.
The happy couple departed the same
night for Palisade, where the groom is
employed on fruit ranch.

When the question of the removal OF
the D. < R. G.. track from Sixth street
was brought up in the council meeting
Monday evening, it was more than
hinted that the railroad Officials were
playing for more time. 1t was even
said that the twenty-year limit would
soon be up and that they would have
a perpetual right to the street for
track purposes. Councilman Barlow i'll
a sideways whisper gave the idea that
if those tracks were not moved forth
with, a crowd should go over and tear
them up One would have thought
railroad company which has advertise
the city so generously was the worst
demon on the face of the earth. But
such is not the ease.
On Tuesday afternoon a reporter for
the Posi- interviewed Mr.. Hugh Wilson
regarding those Sixth street tracks
and the gentleman said: -.
"I have been so very busy the past
few weeks trying to keep the tracks
open and free from snow and lee that
have had no time to meet with the
Glenwood city council, but hope to do
so Just as soon as possible. OF course
we are going to move the track, and
will do so just as soon as the frost
leaves the ground sufficiently to pre-
vent the tearing up of the ground too
much We expect to do the right
thing in this matter for we have very
little use for the track where it is.
We will move IL though if the city
Authorities wish, and if they insist we
will take up the matter at once and
not wait for the frost to leave the
ground, az we had desired.
This does net look as if the railroad
company wanted to do other than the

all but ready to go to Shoshone in

reached him from the power camp that
the death angel had preceded him and
had claimed the spirit of the unfortun-

Reports roe, owed from Shoshone state
that Barrett had succeeded in drinking

The fellow had previously called on

LOCAL ELkS MAKE MERRY

Glenwood Elks and their families and
friends were participants in a royal
good time at Hotel Glenwood Wednes-
day evening of this week. Some forty
couples tripped the light fantastic and
enjoyed a short session of Keno.
"A new departure was noticed in the
keno game. The ladies took part and
were successful in securing some pretty
souvenirs of the occasion. During the
course of the play, if gentleman ke-
noed prior to lady, the game was not
stopped, but was continued until one
of the lady players had kenoed. To-
gether the lady and gentleman would
advance to the head of the large ball
room and receive their presents. Among
the most successful of the ladies were
Mrs. II. W. Smith, Miss Arta Crook and
Miss Valentine, Crook and Miss Mar
gueri.e Marquis. Some of the souven
irs were very costly, and included Il
handsome mission lamp, gold plated
clock, pin trays of silver and silver
plates. The gentlemen received some
sort of comic novelty, such as jumping
rabbits, toy rattlcs, etc.
Dancing was INDUCED in until the
II O'Clock toast, ''Here S to Our Alb
sent Brothers. which was given by
Brother Frank Hayes. This toast is
one of the most beautiful ever written
and to the Elks it means far more than
idle words or pastime. Fruit punch
was served and a grand time was the
result. A number of visiting Elks We're
present and entered into the merrvmak
ing with true Elk spirit and good fell

Believes in Mason Valley Mine
and in What the Future
Holds.

Llew Humphries. consulting engineer
of the Mason Valley Copper company,
returned yesterday from a fve.weck IS
trip throughout the east on business
connected with his profession. When
seen by The Tribune yesterday Mr..
Humphries stated that he had spent
several weeks In ST, Louis. Chicago and
Milwaukee making a study of machiu-
cry, IN order to get new ideas aud TO
get proper line on mine machinery,
in anticipation OF the future needs Of
The Mason Valley and other orcaniZa.
tions with which he is connected in n
consulting capacity.
When questioned in regard to the
Mason Valley mine and its affairs. Mr.,
Ilumphries stated that he could add
nothing new TO what already had been
said. As to what is now on foot in
the cast he was not at liberty to dis
cuss. but he could say that from all
reports from the mine everything at
the property was III splendid condition.
He sees no reason why the property or
stock should be less attractive now
than heretofore, especially as each day S
development increases the available re-
sources of the mine. In other words,
Mr.. Humphries, like Mr.. Gum, knows
no reason why stockholders should feel
uneasy over their interests.
