Seeking a Suitable Location For an
Army Hospital Is Attracted
Toward GIenWood
WuLFSOHN RANCH MAY Be GIVEN

1t is we'll known that Uncle Sam Is
looking toward the West for suitable
site for q tubercular hospital in which
to treat disabled soldiers. to whom the
nation is under lasting obligations for
their valiant services in the late war,
and who are broken in health as re-
suit of that service.
Without doubt such a site will be
selected.
A bill which has been introduced In
Congress will doubtless pass, and this
bill provides for the location of tu-
bercular hospital somewhere in the
Rocky Mountain region, and it is moro
than probable that some point h Colo
RADIO will be selected.
Colorado Springs Is q strong esadi-
date for the place, and it has some
good backing, but there is good reason
to believe that federal officials in
Washington who are interested in the
matter of proper selection, are very
favorable to Glenwood Springs. This
place has been Investigated by agents
sent from Washington, and it is well
known that they have reported most
favorably on Glenwood.
Only this week the proper authorities
at Washington wired an offer Of $4,000
a year for five years for the Hotel Col
orado, springs, pool and cave, or, in
other words, the company property ON
the north side of the Grand River.
This offer was promptly refused, and
movement was set on foot for the pur
chase of the Wulfsohn ranch Of 500
acres mile down the river, and an
excellent site for the two-million dollar
hospital which is contemplated by the
federal government. 1t is proposed to
purchase this site and make the gov
eminent a present of it. With this
thought in view, Mayor barrow cent
the following telegram to Congressman
Taylor, soliciting his support of Glen
wood for such an institution:
Glenwood Springs, Colo,
Jan. IA, 1921.
Hon. Edw. Taylor, M. O.,
H. o. Building, Room 265,
| Washington, d. C.
If Glenwood Springs donates to the
United States the Wulfsohp ranch Of
| five hundred acres can you procure the
pital here that is contemplated for
Colorado and will you take charge of
such endeavor without reservation
Over one hundred acres of this land is
now under cultivation and | believe
that tubercular hospital near at hand
not detrimental to Glenwood Springs.
@. W. BARROW, Mayor.
Mr.. Taylor promptly sent a message
in reply, saying that the only reserva-
comply with the wishes Of the people Of
Glenwood Springs, and if they wanted
such n hospital located on the Wulf-
soln ranch, or anywhere else, he would
enthusiastically work for its location
here. He called Mr.. Darrow's atten-
ton, however, to the fact that, except
ing himself, the Colorado representa-
tives at Washington were supporting
Colorado Springs, which has rendered
the government two thousand acres Ct
land, and has very strong influences at
work in Washington in behalf Of that
selection. However, Mr.. Taylor Aid
he had an appointment with Surgeon
General Cummings for Monday and
would 60 over the matter very thor.
oughly with him It that time, and
would wire or write Mr.. barrow more
fully.
Mr.. DsErow sent the following telc
gram in reply, and u awaiting faztAs,
