| J PRESIDENT TURNS TOBUSINESS CARES Forgets Vacation for a Time to Take Up Affairs of State. (Continued from First Page) mountains, pointed out the places of interest to the President during this motor trip. Gideon accompanied the | President on his first fishing expedi- | tion yesterday and walked with him | about the reservation several times. and the indications are that he will be the President's guide and outdoors companion, the enviable position held last Summer in the Adirondacks by | Ormond Doty. Cowboy Bosses Stables. “Dakota Clyde” Jones, a hig-hatted | high-heel'hooted and spurred cowboy | with a reputation throughout the West as a horseman and whose greatest | distinction seems to be that he tamed two buffaloes and broke them to baul- | ing teams, has been installed at the| lodge as master of the presidential | sta several highly rec ommended riding horses ready f historic frontier town in August of the “Days of '76.” The Pr for the invitation and said he hoped he could find it convenient to be! present. Three hundred editors, members of the National Editorial Association, with their wives and other gue: party of 500 persons, will be the f callers to be received by President and Mrs. Coolidge at the Summer White House, in the Black Hills. The visit will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow. ‘There will be no handshaking, but the President is expected to make a short welcoming talk. The sit to the Summer White House will be part of a two-day tour of the Black Hills by the editorial association delegation. The party will attend an Elk barbecue at the new pavillion, about half a mile above the lodge, before seeing the President. Mr. Coolidge has been invited to the barbecue, but is not expected to attend. After calling on the President the editors will go to Sylvan e, some 20 miles up into the hills, for a buffalo barbecue in the evening. After his morning of fishing and fnspecting the State park, the Pres- ident, accompanied by Mrs. Cool- idge, made his first call yvesterday afternoon at the executive offices, which have been established in the high school building. He remained only 15 minutes. Air Mail Service. To expedite the President’s mail be- tween here and Washington air mail service was inaugurated. Army air- planes are being used to connect with the transcontinental line at North Platte, Nebr. A plane will leave here daily at 4 p.m. to catch the eastbound mail. Earlier in the day one will bring mail for the President from the west- bound air mail. Capt. Earl C. Ewarty is in charge of the service. Three pilots, Lieut. Morrison, Lieut. Dyer and Staff Sergt. Haynes, have been detailed to fly the planes. Secretary Sanders said about 24 hours will be cut off the railroad time in handling the mail. Except for the fact there is no air mail line into Washington, the time saved would be greater. Army planes could be used from New York to Washington, but it was felt the saving to be made would not warrant the use of so many men and so much equipment. The ‘War Department has issued an order that only the President’'s mail is to be carried between here and North Platte. President Seems Pleased. The President seemed to be pleased with the quarters set aside for him in the school building. He was given a first-floor classroom with blackboards on the walls and instructions telling how to get out in case of a fire. His presidential flag has not arrived from Washington, but will be here in a day or two to be put up in his room. Mr. Sanders and E. T. Clarke, the President’s other secretary, have of- fices on the same floor. There is a telephone switchboard in the executive offices manned by a White House op- erator, so the President may talk di- rectly from the lodge to Washington it he desires. Three of the regular ‘White House stenographers are on duty at the offices here. One can ride miles and miles on the winding highway that runs to the lodge without seeing sign of man or beast. Occasionally a large herd of cattle can be seen. There are few birds in this section. Trees are few and far between until you come within a few miles of Custer Park. Such is the nature of the undulating land- scape that the President’s trail back and forth to his office offers to the eye. Pride Over Guests. ‘Warm-hearted South Dakotans do not conceal their pride at having the President and Mrs. Coolidge as the guests of the State and, although only & small proportion of them will get to see either of them, and very few will meet them personally, they are leaving nothing undone to make them feel at home. There is something touching and admirable about the delight of the people of the Black Hills country at the establishment of the Summer Cap- ital in a State which has sharply dis- agreed with the President in political matters. As evidence of the feelings of these people, they agreed to do all they can to give the President and Mrs. Coolidge all the seclusion they desire. Therefore, there will be no informal dropping by to say “howdy to Neighbor Coolidge and his wife. The people will be content to know that they are in their midst, and are happy and comfortable. To make sure that the Coolidges will like the place from the start, gifts in profusion, chiefly fish and wild game, have poured in upon the Summer White House. From all accounts this is likely to keep up. The President must soon decide where he and Mrs. Coolidge will at- tend church. The pastors in the vari- ous hamlets and towns scattered about the Black Hills country are eager for the honor and pleasure of having the distinguished couple at- | tend their churches, but no selection | has been made. There is a Con- | gregational church in Hermosa, 12| miles away from the lodge, and | as the Coolidges are of that de- | nomination it is possible they will| attend. The church is a small white frame affair, typical of the aver- e frontier house of worship. In size t is smaller even than the old Union Church, where the Coolidges wor- shiped in Plymouth Notch, Vt. Sees Hold-up Site. ‘This little buliding was pointed out to the President on his journey to his office in Rapid City, but he made no comment. Also during this ride, which was the first opportunity the Execcutive had had to actually take in the great rolling country him, the car was stopped for a mo- ment or two at Deadwood Gap, and 1he spot pointed out to him where the: | famous old Deadwood coach, nationally famous by wild and writers of Ve held up back In ‘The coach, according to the story 10ld the President, had a valuable shipment of gold bullion at the time of the robbery.

He ed one of those :triking | s so popular in the V ared, though, that the Pr ‘lost motion™ theo to horseback riding just | to other things that generally call for a costume. Aversion for Costume." Presdent Coolidge has an aversion for costume. At least, he cannot un- derstand why one should wear certain things for one kind of outdoor sport and another kind for other sports. This costuming for outdoor sports and exercise is what the President has so frequently described as being “lost motion.” he does not go in for golf, according to his own explanation, is because of the lost motion involved. On his fishing trip yesterday he ap- peared just the same as he does each day at his desk in Washington, ex- cept that he wore rubber hip boots so he could wade through the water in his_qu or the trout. He wore a dark business suit, tall starched | collar and necktie and a brown fedora | hat. His companions, Mr. Gideon and | Col. E. W. Starling, assistant chief | of the secret service, were dressed for | the occasion, Their costumes were the last word in what is being worn by Western outdoorsmen. That section of Squaw Creek in which the President had such good luck on his first fishing trip is at the foot of a mountain which hereto- fore had no real mame, but which is now known as Mount Starling. It has been given this name by the park authorities as a tribute to Col. Starling, who inspected the Black Hills for the President before the latter made his selection of a place for his vacation, and who has been living in the hills for the past three weeks. The colonel has become a great favorite with every one in the hills and, because of his love of the outdoors and his ability as a sports- man, he was paid the honor of having his name given to this mountain. 15 Gmdnnée at Baden.
