HOME ONCE MORE.


Mrs f. L. Chase is home again after
ten months absence and Monday the
Chapman door bell and telephone were
ringing constantly as friends called
In person or phoned TO welcome the
traveller home. 1t was late In the aft.
ernoon when the writer had the pleas
ure of seeing Mrs. Chase once more.
The trip was a great pleasure as well
as benefit, and one of the incest
things about 1t Is that she returns
more in love with Durango than ever.
Mrs. Chase spent some time in Chi.
cago, both on the way. and on her re-
turn She also visited friends In Mich.
igan. Indiana. and Missouri, but spent
most time in New York. She thinks
the latter place delightful and found
1t more and more interesting the long.
er she stayed II is so different TO
the west and at the same time so cos.
mopolitan In character that one Is con
staDtly finding something new.
She spoke in particular of her first
sight of the Atlantic ocean and of
how wonderful it is 10 mountain or
plain-bred people. in Its ever-shifting,
ever-changing moods. Today so calm
that ii wouldn't disturb a fly on its
surface; tomorrow. raging fury of
dark water and foaming spray
or course, Mrs. Chase visited Coney
island. and said description of the
gay scene is utterly inadequate, TO
make a listener or reader understand
the light and color and general attrac-
tiveness of the far-famed resort. She
spent some time at Middle island, on
Long island. with friends who have n
country home there. All of the sur
roundings were interesting-bu
such as we have none OF In the west
and the historic houses of Washing
toms time. Five miles distant Maude
Adams. tho well known actress, has a
farm.
West Point. Blackwell island. Sing
Sing, The Tombs. Wall street. and the
old custom house, are few of The
things in and adjacent to New York
that Mrs. Chase visited. After u busy
day, and just home from a trip when
she had seen 50 much she said she
mentioned just what things came to
her thought at the time, but she ex.
pected to enjoy the memory of her
rim tn
While at the coast Mrs Chase enjoy
ed the fish, which are so delicious
caught fresh. and In a variety unknown
to inland and mountain towns. The
same was also true while staying in
Wisconsin, on the shore OF Lake Mich.
igan. The Lake Shore drive and
number OF resorts around Milwaukee
she mentioned as especially attractive.
One OF the things that added to the
pleasure OF the trip. and would be ap-
preciated by most Durangoites. were
the theatrical attractions she was able
to enjoy. New York has the best
there is. and the large cities along
the main Travelled route from the At.
Ianiic to the Pacific. also get their
share of good plays, which gave an ex.
cellent opportunity to enjoy that form
OF amusement.
Business conditions are splendid
throughout the east and middle west
and seem TO be increasing In prosper
ity. Mrs. Chase remarked on the In
terest manifested by New Workers. In
Durango and this section. and said
some one must have been advertising.

the name by which the park will here

He gave as o reason for the change
the fact that "agriculturar' no longer
is representative of the true purposes
of the grounds and that therefore a
more suitable name would be chosen.
The state exposition, historical mu-
scum and art gallery and armory
buildings are one-third completed.
Their combined cost will be $780,000, to-
gether with the gardens and grounds
that will surround them. The base

are now rapidly assuming shape.
The buildings will form a great t.

to have the museum, art and scientific
galleries house rare collection gath
cred from all parts OF the state. 1t is
said that numerous offers have been
made by the wealthier residents of the
state of collections they have gath

does not expect to have any difficulty
in stocking the museum and art gal
