Chief Executive
Denver Colo The citizens ot Colo
rado have started a campaign to pro
vide for the president ot the United
States a summer home in this state
The plans Avhich have already been
completed call for a Aeritable palace
of most original and picturesque de
sign the like of which does not exist
in this country It -will take rank
with any of the existing palaces or
European monarchs The idea orig
inated with John Brisben Walker and
a committee ot prominent Colorado
men is noAV in charge of the move
ment
The proposed home is on the Mount
Falcon 15 miles from Denver in tho
front range of the Rockies It is
planned to make the gift a token Irons
the people of Colorado and contribu
tions are now coming in from all over
the state The lund was started by
subscriptions from leading bankers
and business men in Denver Ground
has already been broken and it is be
lieved that the building will be con
structed in time for the next summer
season
During his recent visit to Denver
President Taft was apprised ot tho
summer home plan and expressed the
opinion that no locality could otter
finer natural attractions for cuch a
structure
The proposed house will be unique
in many ways and exceedingly at
tractive The plrns cI for a noble
and massive structure of gray gran
ite contrasting with the natural set
ting for the blilding The house will
provide amre room for the presi
dents atteJasts and acsi tants Au
tomobiles would bring the summer
home Avith frrty minutes cZ Denver
The view thrt tho site of the build
ing commands is its strongest feature
and it is this that was strongly urged
in makirjj a choice of sites Among

It is planned that boys in Los An

of courtship and marriage by the end

The girls are taught how to deport
