Two Roosevelt
Completed for
Washington Two carefully-
yuarded "wilderness'' areas in
the United States bear the name
of th President who made con
servation an American watch
word, Theodore Roosevelt.
The first, Theodore Roosevelt
Island, a 90-acre forest retreat
in the middle of the Potomac
river at Washington, D. C, was
given to the American people
in 1932. The second, the 65,000
acre Theodore Roosevelt Nation
al Memorial Park, was carved
out of his Elkhorn Ranch in
North Dakota's Badlands in
1947-43.
Neither has ever been com
pletely developed. Eoth are be
ng given greater attention by
the National Park Service as the
100th birthday of Theodore
Roosevelt in 1953 approaches.
Tea and Trumpeli
Though people now go to the
Potomac island to walk its 3Vi
miles of trails, to hear nature
talks and to picnic, in years past
they went to take tea, to dance,
to play tennis, and even, during
World War II, to practice com
mando raids.
Bought in 1717 by George Ma
son of Gunston Hall, Va., father
of George Mason who drafted
the Virginia Bill of Rights, the
"Island was maintained as an ele
gant family crossing; a stone
causeway connected it with the
Virginia shore, and ferryboats
plied between it and George
town, now a part of the District
of Colombia.
During the 19th century, An-
alostan Island, as it was then
known, was held by an athletic
club and a boat club. A wilder
ness by the time the Theodore
Roosevelt Memorial Association
bought it, it was turned over to
the government to maintain as
a place "where men may find
lost values and perspective amid
the tumult and confusion of na
tional politics and international
controversy."
Although such a sanctuary fit
tingly memorializes Roosevelt's
zeal for nature and conservation
the island did not play the vital
role in his life that the Badlands
did. "I would not have been
President," he said once, "had it
not been for my experience in
North Dakota."
Punkin-lily to President
Theodore Roosevelt first step
ped foot in the "short-grass"
country all alone on a cool Sep
tember morning in 1883. A slight,
ebespectacled youth of 25 an
"Eastern punkin-lily," the cow

Woman Threatened
For Affections
Portland (U.R) Police last
night arrested a 14-year-old boy
who officers said threatened the
life of a 59-year-old woman un
less she favored him with her
affections.

and Don Dimoff said the boy, a
high school student sent a threat
ening letter to Mrs. Florence Ros
si Sunday warning he had a gun
and would kill her if she called
police. The letter said he would
come to her home Monday night
Bouwman and Dimoff went to
the woman's home and found
two other notes. They were in
the shadows near the front door
when the boy approached. They
arrested him. They said the boy
would be turned over to juven
ile authorities after questioning.

and, specifically, to bag a buf
falo. He not only got the buf
falo but 20 days later owned 450
cattle.
That winter, when he went
home to serve his third year in
the New York legislature, his
mother and his wife died within
hours of each other. With his
grief he returned to the Bad
lands and built his "Elkhorn"
ranch 35 miles north of Medora,
N.D. There he rode and hunted
as hard as he read and wrote. He
also organized a cattlemen'i as
sociation that brought law and
order to the fighting frontier.
In September of 1900, Roose
velt made .another memorable
visit to Medora. Stepping this
time from the train as a candi
date for vice-president, he was
hailed by a swarm of old friends.
Someone brought a bronco. Off
Roosevelt galloped, to the top of
a bluff. There he stopped.
"Looking back to my old days
here," he said, "I can paraphrase
Kipling and say, 'Whatever may
happen I can thank God I have
lived and toiled with men.' "
