SUMMER NATIONAL
 CAPITAL FOR WEST

DENVER, Sept. 5.-The long-talked of plan for summer capital for the use of Presidents of the United States received a large boost when Den. ver's delegation in Congress announc- ed that President Wilson had given his consent to the plan to have him lay the cornerstone of the structure this month, provided Congress had been adjourned. Invitations were is- sued for the cornerstone laying on Mount Falcon, fifteen miles west of Denver, in the foothills of the RocE.es but the event was postponed dntil such time as 1t is convenient of the President to take part.
 The plan for a summer hoLIe for Presidents was launched a few years ago by John Brisben Walker. Others have taken up the idea until now there are official sponsors in every one of the tv venty.one States west of the Mississippi river. Mr. Walker do- mated the site The building proper is expected to cost not more than $5e,- 900.
 It is planned, however, to build a series of magnificent approaches and to buttress the natural precipice of a thousand feet, which the building will overlook on one side. This work will cost $2OO,0OO or more.
 It is planned to have the building held in trust by the governors of the twenty.two Western States. The Mount Falcon residence. 1t is pointed out, is almost in the exact geographi- cal center of the country west of the Mississippi.
 Mount Falcon, while not one of the high mountains of the Rockies, is several hundred feet higher than Den yer It is about midway between the extreme foothills and the continental divide. The nearest great peak is Mount Evans, 14,2S1 feet high.
 At the base of Mount Morrison, Q companion mountain, is located the celebrated park of the Red Rocks and Caves of the Titan. The peculiar red sandstone formation in this vicinity crops up in gigantic and grotesque figures Several of these huge rocks form a natural amphitheater. It is pointed out that the President could speak heye to thousands.
 The Mi. Falcon home will command a view of the main range of the Rock, ies to the west and the great plains to the east. Seventy lakes on the plains can be counted from the noun. tain. The project Is to be financed by popular subscription, chiefly in the western States. It Is planned to have the main portion of the building com pleted by the summer of 1915.

SHIPS ENGAGED IN
 NORTH SEA BATTLE

The Malnz, the German cruiser re ported sunk by the British, is rated af an unprotected third class cruiser, 4, 2S2 tons, 3SS feet long, with a draft 1 of 16M feet, built in 1910, carried 12 4,1-inch guns, and Q crew of S79. It developed 2s knots on iss trial trip The reports speak of Q second cruiser described as one of tue KolE class as being destroyed. The Mainz Is one of the Koln class and all of this class aer of substantially these dimensions and were designed for 27 knots.
 The Amethyst, the British cruiser reported damaged in the action, is rated as a scout cruiser. 5000 tons, 360 feet long. 141s feet draft, built in 1905. It carrieA 12 finch guns and a crew of 2s6. It's speed Is 231z knots.
 The Laertes, the British destroyer reported damaged, Is 965 tons, 26O feet long. built in 1918, carries three finch guns and 100 men, and it's speed is 29 knots.
 The first battle cruiser squadron which is reported to have delivered the attack comprises four of the fin. est vessels in the British navy, the Queen Mary, the Lion, the Princess Royal and the New Zealand. The United States navy has no ships of this type. They are as big as dread naughts, as fast as cruiser and as pow erful as a battleship.
 The Queen Mary ls 27,00O tons, ,66O feet long, finished this year. has eight 1Shinch guns and numerous smaller guns and 1000 men. Its speed Is over 2S knots.
 The Lion and the Princess Royal, built in 1912 with the same speed and armament. are slightly smaller.
 The New Zealand is 1S,S0O tons, has eight 12-inch guns and its speed is 25 knots.
 Obviously 1t was no great feat for these ships to sink light German cruis- CTS, but the great achievement from the British paint of view is that these ships should have taken the offensive against the German fleet so close in shore and under the protection of He. ligoland,
 The Nadgeburg, reported destroyed by the Russians in the Gulf of Finland, Is rated as a third class cruiser, but was slightly larger than the Mainz, It was 45OO tons, 446 feet long, built in 1912, had twelve 4.inch guns. crew of 37S and a speed of 271h knots.

tion that wished to enter into a
combination or contract could do so,
provided the contract or cooperation
was not detrimental to the public
welfare. In order to protect the
public the presumption would be
that the contract or combination is
thus detrimental.
In order that the farmers may
know whether any proposed
practice or cooperation is legal or
illegal. it will be ecessary also that
an Interstate trade commission be
created which shall have power to
pass upon the proposed practice o'
cooperation. This suggestion is in
accordance with the message Of
President Wilson, in which he
recommends that an interstate
trade have among others the power
to give advice definite guidance and

Santa Fe highway. For some months, a new road has been completed be-
 tween St. Johns and Concho. Here are concrete bridges and finely grad
 ed and beautifully curved ascent to the worst hill in that section. Between Beaver Dam and Milky Wash and on both sides of the same, is a new road
 in process of construction much of which is graded. This to prepare ap-
 breaches to a point where concrete trestles are to span the washes. The state is to bridge Beaver Dam and
 Milky Wash with concrete trestles to cost nearly $14,00O00 The state eng ineer is in that vicinity now to see to it, and the material has already been ordered. Work is to begin immedi- ately. This will forever do away with the notorious Beaver Dam and Milky Wash. Last, though by no means least, the Automobile Club of Southern California has an auto truck at work, signing the Santa Fe Highway. They are coming this way and have already passed Winslow. The material for this use on the Holbrook Springerville sec ton of the road, is being transported from the railroad to St. Johns and Springerville. Meanwhile, the num- Der of tourists travelling these roads continues to increase remarkably fast.
