BORGLUMTOGOON WITH DAKOTA PLAN Sculptor Denies Estimating Need of $50,000 for Starting Work. +8pecial Dispatch to The Star. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., 16.—Recently it w great project of carving 200-foot heads of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and_Roosevelt on the face of Rushmore Mountain, in the Black Hills, had gone on the rocks. This was due to the circulation of a story to the effect that Gutzon Borglum, noted sculptor, had intimated that the residents of South would have to contribute $50. in cash before he would he able to procure the remainder of the money needed from outside the State Mr. Borglum. who is in San Anto- . Tex., carving a group for that city, denies the statement. The re- port circulated in South Dakota was said to have had its origin from men who attended a dinner at Rapid City, near Rushmore- Mountain, where Mr. Borglum was a guest, and spoke. Outlines Plans. “Our plans,” Mr. Borg “as formulated and und se with whom I conferrec ire the u: v during the first which means up to the Fall of ¥ plans involve making of the November complete as they will be de- veloped for carving. These are be- ing made here (in San Antonio) now and will be ready for presentation to the State committee in South Dakota within a few weeks. “The rough estimate of actual labor st_for the first year's aid Mr. Borglum, “was esti- ~mated at $15.000—not $50.000. and the feared that the | \ | Traveling items necessary were reviewed by a committee in Rapid City.” He stated that his work now is to complete his report upon the plans and complete designs and report prog- ress to the commissioners at Plerre, 8. D. He refers to congressional action. This is taken to mean that United States Senator Peter Norbeck of South Dakota, who was one of the leading men to formulate original plans for the memorial, will seek to. have Con- gress appropriate the sum necessary for completion of the carvings. According to an estimate made public by Mr. Borglum some months ago while in South Dakota, the proj- ect involving the carving of the four historical characters will involve the expenditure of from $1,000,000 to $1,250,000. Mr." Borglum, before his departure from South Dakota for the South | about a month or six weeks ago, col- lected $5,000 in cash from the resi- | dents of Black Hills cities for making | the preliminary survey of Rushmore | Mountain. |~ The report, now denied by him, tbat { the people of South Dakota would be required to contribute $50,000 addi- tional had caused discouragement among these who favored the project, who were about ready to abandon the whole plan, for had the report been true it would have been practically impossible to raise the $50,000 in South Dakota, and the whole project would have faced certain disaster. ———— PEER HERE INCOGNITO.

They rep- resent thousands of dollars in ma- terial value, but much more in that intangible love which the Nation holds for the sentiment embodied in that tomb, representative of the sacrifice of thousands. They shine for a day on the tomb, then move away to the guarding rall, and then they go the way of all flow- ers—they have served their purpose once and they go back to the earth, some day to bud again. Not since the day that the remains of America’s unknown fighter were solemnly laid to rest has any effort been made to preserve any of the trib- utes laid upon the tomb, either by in- dividuais, organizations, this or for- eign nations, although each Armistice day scores of floral tributes cover the tomb. The metdl and other wreaths which could be preserved and which were sent at the time of the inter- ment have been preserved and are in one of the anterooms of the great amphitheater in the National Ceme- tery. Every week, on an average, three wreaths or floral tributes are laid upon the tomb, according to those in charge of the cemetery. Through some of them are of the permanent Variety, it was said that exposure to the weather soon destroys these, and they are not preserved. Narrow Escape. From the Boston Transcript.
