CABIN CARE is
'''DISAPP0lNTlNG''
Tourist Says That Greater Re
spect Should be Shown I.
RS Old Home

A we'll dressed, prosperous man
stepped from big touring car to lo3k
at the Roosevelt cabin on the capito
grounds. He stopped William Erlen'
meyer, who was coming from the capl'
tol, after gazing at the cabin.
"My name is H. A. Johnson" he said
81 am travelling from my winter home
in California to New York by auto
mobile. l was a great admirer Of
Theodore Roosevelt and stoppe~ to
see the cabin. l simply want to tell
a resident of the city that l think II
is most fortunate that the cabin should
be allowed to fall into such a State.
II wonder how many people realize
that there are thousands Of tourists
who stopped to look at that cabin with
interest and with reverence. There
is a big hole in the roof, window
glass broken, and the inside looks as
il it we're used for a st0rehouse. Bis
marck is one of the prettiest cities ]
have seen but the lack Of care for the
most interesting spot in the city has
disappointed me.%
Inquiries were made concerning the
case of the cabin. The state board
of administration denied responsibility
stating that the care of the cabin had
been turned over to members OF the
local chapter of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution.
Members of this organization said
that it was expected that the cabin
would be moved on the other side Of
the capitol grounds. near the new
Memorial building when it is coL.,-
pleted, and that it was not planned
to do anything to the cabin until that
time -
