PRES. TAFT OPENS
GREAT GUNNISON
TUNNEL In WEST

Montrose. Col, Sept. 24.-Presi-
dent Taft yesterday afternoon stood
on the brink of the deepest irrigation
ditch in the west and made an cleo
trical connection which started the
flow of water through the Gunnison
tunnel. which will reclaim 100000
acres of arid land and thus set in op-
GRAFTON the governments greatest ir-
rigation project. The president prev
iously visited the Montrose county
fair, and witnessed a novelty relay
race of cowgirls His train today
ran through long stretches of arid
lands, then suddenly would rush upon
an oasis whore green fields of alfalfa
and miles of fruit laden orchards
showed the miracle wrought by lrri-
cation. At the fairs the president
heard and saw marvellous stories of
the seasons yield. Everywhere the
baggage car was laden with fruit.
The opening of the Gunnison tun-
mel was most picturesque. On either
side of the ravine leading from the
portal OF the great bore hewn through
six miles of mountain, several thou
sand people gathered.
Taft had been given a gold table
bell. the weight of which when set
upon a copper plate representing the
district of reclaimed lands made an
electrical connection which caused a
squad of laborers, several miles away
to knock down the bulkheads holding
the back waters of the river. As the
muddy wall Of water rushed noisily
out OF the concrete hole the crowd
cheered.
In all his speeches today the presi-
dent touched upon irrigation.
At Grand Junction, he said:
In some places this country seems
the most God -forsakengspot on earth
We progress a mile orstwo and. the
influence of water makes II seem a
paradise. II is like rubbing Aladdin's
lamp, the production is of such
beauty, prosperity, happiness.
What has been done here has been
by private enterprise. but many en-
terprises involve the outlay of capi
tai 50 large, or require so muc risk
it is probably better to have govern
ment help. This high line ditch is
Just begun, yet all government lands
were taken up in the expectation that
ii will be put through. Something
must be done. propose to examine
the situation and IL circumstances
justify ask congress to authorize
steps which will enable the settlers
to reap the harvest they have been
making such long aud hard prepara-
tion for"
At Montrose Taft said:
'Your chairman referred to govern
ment paternalism. IL reminded me
how the constitution authorized the
government to marry the water to
your earth. ! supposed II grew out
of the governments ownership OF
public domain. which II is distribut-
ing to the citizens. and that the gov
ernment felt authorized TO assist
those who settle the domain by IN
vesting money i'm enterprises which
could not be entered upon by indi.
viduals on account of the risk of loss
in order ultimately to encourage a
greater population. Perhaps It
comes under the general welfare
clause, which has been made 90 much
Of BY each party when It wanted Ia
do anything which was of doubtful
power, under any other cause How.
ever. that may be the Gunnlson tun-
mel has been built and this valley il
going to blossom like the rose"

instinctivev the interest manifested in the church
homes of the leaders Of new administration Is
second only to the interest in the personalities of
the new leaders themselves.
There are a number of churches at the national
capital that have at one time or another enjoyed the
distinction of being the Presidents Church., but
with the Inauguration of President Taft this honor
will descend edifce that has never heretofore
attained such prominence All Souls Unitarian
church will be the new Presidents Church. dis
placing the Dutch Reformed church which has
served in similar capacity during the Roosevelt re-
gme While the present All Souls now takes rank
as presidents church for the first time, the pred
ecessor of the present edifice the home of this
congregation had early title to the honor, for one
of the founders of this historic Washington church
was John Quincy Adams.
William H. Taft has been pewholder at All
Souls-the only Unitarian church at the capital
since taking up his residence at Washington. 1t
may be remembered that during the campaign it
was asserted that Mr.. Taft was an atheist but the
charge was, of course totally unfounded The presi.
dent-elect is of Unitarian family his father and
mother both being Unitarians his grandmother hav-
ing joined the Unitarian movement with the famous
DR.. Charming, William H. Taft, like his father be-
fore him, was member Of the Unitarian church of
Cincinnati. After entering official life in Washing.
ton he took pew in the church that is henceforth
to be known as the Presidents Church."
However, as might be expected of Unitarian,
President-eect Taft is broad.minded in his religious
views, The Taft family, like the Roosevelts, is d.
yided in religious views, but Mr. Taft is not SO ag
gressively loyal to his own denomination but what
he frequently goes with Mrs Taft to the Episcopal
church. of which she following in the footsteps of
her family is a member When the Tafts spent the
summers at Murray Bay, Canada practice that
continued for 16 years-Mr. Taft took particular
interest in the union chapel of the Presbyterian
and Episcopal churches which he was wont to at
tend every Sunday during the vacation period, and
now that he has chosen new playground-Hot
Springs, Va. he has become regular attendant
al ST Luke's Episcopal church, diminutive place
OF Worship at this mountain retreat.
