HIS VOICE IS WEAK

Albuqueruue N NJ, September 1S.- Colonel Theodore Roosevelt saw much Of the Indians of New Mexico today, and when he started for Colorado tonight had struck up a neighborhood acquaintance with them Most of the day was spent Tn the run across the state, and when ever the train stopped the Indians and Colonel Roosevelt studied each other.
 The candidate spoke to a large crowd on the plaza here. He appealed especially to the Spanish-Amerieans to support the new party and to "learn basis.
 It was the Pueblo Indians whom Col onel Roosevelt met wherever he went. Col Cecil Lyon of Texas, major domo of the Roosevelt train, sent word ahead to tine Indian villages along the way that the colonel was coming through and the Indians left their little white huts on the cliffs and came out to meet him.
 The largest gathering of Pueblos was at La Juna, picturesque settlement of low, white buildings on the side of the hill There were perhaps hundred h. dians waiting for the train. Others sat on the red rocks above and looked down on the scene with impassive faces.
 Chief Greets the Colonel
 A former student at the Carlisle Indian school. Frank Smons, chief of the h. dians at La Juna, was in front to do the honors As soon as the train stopped the chief walked forward and shook hands with Colonel Roosevelt.
 What school?" the colonel asked.
 Carlisle" the chief replied.
 That's fine, by George" said the col onel. There was a Carlisle boy at the Olympic games who cleaned them all up. He ran like a coyote with torch in his mouth.
 At this the Indians wagged their heads and smiled, for the colonel had used a bit of Indian language.
 "Oh, I lived among the Indians in the north,'' he said, "and I know a good deal about you. See here," the colonel thrust arm into the air, with two fingers held apart like a V. Indian sign language" he said That means jack rabbit
 The Indians wagged their heads.
 Then the colonel drew his forefinger across his throat. as if he were cutting it.
 Sioux Indians,' he said, and the h. dians agreed.
 He then put his hands with finger out stretched beside his head, like hugh ears This was supposed to represent the head of wolf peering over the top of the cactus.
 Apache. he called out
 "The great white father knows" said the chief.
 A large part of the crowd in Albuquer- que was composed of Mexicans, George Armijo, who was sergeant of Colonel Roosavelts Rough Riders, acted as in terpreter.
 Colonel Roosevelt will be in Colorado tomorrow.

AMARILLO PLANS

pected to Increase
Tourist Travel.

Amarillo, Texas, Sept. 3.-Definite
decision has been reached by the
Amarillo chamber of commerce to
make first class auto highways
throughout Potter county, and to en-
courage all adjoining counties to take
like action in the interest of the tour
ist travel that is being brought this
way en- route to the great northwest
ern resorts.
During the present summer alone.
more overland parties have passed
this way than in all of the past his
tory of the Panhandle Parties have
passed from practically every state in
the union, and the indications seem to
point to an increased number with the
succeeding seasons. In anticipation OF
the traffic which is thus evidently in
creasing, great improvements on the
already fair roadways will be shown
early next year
Sign boards and distance markers
able that exclusive auto roads VIII be
established over parts of the route
through the Panhandle, for the &C
commodation of travellers to Colorado
and New Mexico resorts, and also those
who are finding their way through
this section every year to the Pacific
coast resorts.
Amarillo having been made a tourist
point by some of the railroads, is also
entertaining a number of parties who
find this city with its 5000 feet well
suited to their needs. More people
from various sections of the country
have summered here this year than
during the past decade, and prepare
lions are being made for the enter
tainment of a still greater number next
season.
