The most beautiful mountain region in the world. Describing a few points of interest along the way. The limited trains that cross the country, that have every comfort and convenience of hotel life, find greatest favor with the tourist's and traveling public on account oi their quick service to distant points. The Colorado Midland train which leaves Denver every morning gives the traveling public the same elegant car service as the Overland Limited, pullman sleepers with beautiful toilet rooms and the best Observation car with smoking room and reading room and a chance to view the grandest mountain scenery on earth. Leaving Denver, the run of seventy four miles to Colorado Springs gives th« traveler a chance to see the results of irrigation in the substantial farm houses throughout the Valley, while to the right are the foothills, with the enow covered peaks in the distance, tht> most prominent of which is Longs Peak, 14,271 feet; Grays Peak, 14,411 feet; Torrys Peak 14,336 feet and long before we reach Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak, looms up prominently be fore us to the height of 14,108 feet. From Colorado Springs to Cheyenne Mountain where Helen Hunt perished in the snow; Bald Mountain and Pikes Peak tower with their snow covered summits way above the clouds. Leaving Colorado Springs we pass through Colorado City once the Capital of the State. Then on into Manitou, the widely known health resort at the foot of Pikes peak. From there one can take the Cog Railroad which ex tends to the top of Pikes peak and car ries more passengers every year than any road of its kind in the world. Leaving Manitou our train climbs the moantain up through Ute pass, where the roadbed is blasted out of solid rock. Manitou and Colorado Springs are away below us now and the vast plains of the Great American Desert extend ing off to the East, dotted with Lakes and farm houses makes a scene never to be forgotten. We cross a high bridge then through a short tunnell and soon reach Green Mounain Palls, a summer resort very largely patronized by people from all parts of the world. The three great water falls that come plunging down over the rocks, the pure embracing mountain air, the beautiful scenery with first-class hotels and cottages makes this an ideal spot to spend the summer months. Leaving the falls we see Pikes peak to the north, as it seems to stand out in bold relief we can view it from different points as the train climbs the grade to the Divide, there a branch road leads to Che great min ing camp of Cripple Creek. From Divide down through Florissant Canon the mountain views are 'beautiful and very interesting. Then as we pass on through Granite Canon with it's great walls of stone and ragged cliffs, makes one shudder to think what would happeia should one of tlio.se large boulders come tumbling down on our train, but as they have stood sentinel there for ages there is >no fear of danger. Soon we enter South Park. Here at an altitude of about 16,©00 feet is the largest mountain parV in the state Here upon a time nearly all the large game such as buffalo, elk, deer and antelope as well as hundreds of Indians roamed where they woutid, where now in their piace are thousands of cattle horses, and many hay ranches. This park is surrounded with mountains from which there has beeu millions of dollars work of preeious metals taken. Near Hartsels they have just lately dis covered some very pomising leads that prominent Mining men are preparing to develop. Leaving Hartseis the scenery is grand and ever changing. The many mountain peaks are pointed by the railroad men until we reach the Arkan saw Valley. Our next step is Buenna Vista. This town ties on the Delta be low the station. The state reformatory can be readily seen in the distance, The Arkansaw River Hows through the fertile valley, to the left is the Collegiate range of mountains with Mt. Yale some 14,187 feet; Mt Princton, 14,190 feet, and Mt. Harvard, 14,374 feet with their lofty peaks exteningaway above the clouds. The ride from Bueuna Vista to Lead vllle is a beautiful ever changing panoramic view of mountain scenery with lumber camps, saw mills, lime kilns and smelters showing the many industries of the people. Leadville, once the most noted city in the world, is to-day a quiet city, situated among the mountain peaks at an altitude of some 10,103 feet, and is yet quietly pro ducing from her numerous mines much of the precious metals which help to supply the markets ofthe world. Over three hundred millions in gold and silver have been mined in Leadville to date. As we leave Leadville, Mt. Massive which is the highest mountain in the state looms up before us. It being 14,425 feet and is continually cover ed with snow the year around. Again climbing up mountains we reach Busk, where a tunnell more than two miles long; greets us, and pierces the Continental Divide. Passing through this tunnell we emerge on the Pacific slope. Here some of the grandest and most magnificent of mountain scenery greet us, the rugged chasm with cliffs 2000 feet to the gulch below, and the towering'peaks around us make an awe inspiring scene never to be forgotten. One can see the railroad tracks a half mile below us as our train winds over these tracks among the hills for four teen miles, then we reach Hellgate, and as we look back from Horseshoe Curve wo wonder at the magnitude of railroading in the Rockies. On down through the Frying Pan river valley; mines and mills are at work, trout fishing is fine in the stream and the region is known as the "Hunters Paradise". Red Rock Canon presents another wonderful scene unlike that on the other side of the Divide. There are great massive mountains of red sand rock that look like Castles built for the Ancients. Mt. Hopris stands like a sentinel close in this region at an altitude of about 14,300 feet ami is very im pressive in its grandeur. At Cardiff are the great coal mines and hund reds of coke ovens that supply coal and coke for the railroads of the Great West. At Glenwood Springs is one of the greatest resort hotels in the state. The great curative properties ofthe hot mineral springs bring!tourists from all over the continent. From Glenwood Springs our train follows the Grand River. The next place of in. terest being at Rifle where our President stopped last year to make his hunt for the mountain lion in the White River country to the North ward. Emerging from the mountaics we enter the great fruit section of Western Colorado. The Grand Valley fruit has gained wide spread re nown and and high national reputation. Peaches, peas, plums, apples and grapes art shipped by train load to the Eastern and western markets. A good nights rest as we go across the Utah Desert gives us a chance to appreciate the Great Salt Lake valley as we descend front Soldiers Summit in th morning and see how grand the Mormon pioneers have made the desert bloom as roses, and build a sity that compares with any of its sijte in the world au<l contains many points of interest to the tourists. This ride only takes twenty-four hours from Denver, and through the graud old Rocky mountains over the Colorado Midland Railway which is the grandest of rail way scenic lines of its kind in the world. Why journey to far countries. To view their wonderous sight, When here in our Native land, Dame Nature takes delight, In lavishing her wonders, So splendid to beuold. With Virgin Forests—Endless plains, And mines of precious gold) The Rocky Mountains rear their heads. In greeting to the sky. Their peaks reach far above the clouds, That float so gently by The awe inspiring Canyons, Wherein swift waters flow, While far above yet plain to see Are Peaks aids wrapped in snow. So take a second thought dear friends, E'xc seeking Foreign climes, And visit Colorado, Via the Midland Line, Vou never will regret it. Nor will you fuel ashamed, To piaoe our Native Country, In the foremost ranks of fame. GEO. L. PAGE, Operator P. R. R., Casneron, Pa. Council Proceedings. Special meeting Borough Council !

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1906. Cameron County's Opportunity. Cameron county was formed in 18G0,by taking small slices of continuous territory from McKean, Potter, Elk and Ciiuton counties, but it has never bad a citizen as a representative in Congress.*, or a Presi dent Judge on (lie bench. Year after year for more than 40 years have Republican leaders in this county taken part in Congressional, and Judicial conferences, and conventions, sometimes with candidates of their own. And year after year they have been invited to come again, till the heart grew weary, and faith sickened and well nigh died. Still a few faithful souls never gave up, and at last their efforts are crowned with success as shown in the nomination of 15. W. Green, for President Judge of this Judicial dis trict, and Capt. Charles F. Barclay, for Member of Congress, from this Congres sional district. Now what is the duty of the voters of thisgcounty under the circumstances? To me their duty seems very clear. Self preservation is the first law of nature. Our county is young, young and small, and it we would not be eaten up alive by surrounding counties we must stick to gether, and work and vote for our own men regardless of politics. The beauty of this situation lies in the fact tuat both candidates are men that Cameron county does well to honor. With such men in office there will no louger be any question as to just where Cameron county is located. Capt. C. F. Barclay, is thu peer of any man this district has ever sent to Cou gress, and as to Judge Green's legal and forensic ability his confreres have spoken and will speak. There is no question as to the crying need for a non-partisan Judiciary. All partita are agreed on that point, and here Judge Green has made his position per fectly clear. His court will be a court of Justice, and not a place to play politics. "Even handed justice" he says,"to rich and poor alike." And no man who has knuwr B. W. Green for the last 27 years as I have done will doubt for one minute that he means just what he says. There is oo earthly reason why any Republican should vote any other than the straight Republican ticket, and it seems to me that every voter in the county no matter what his party affiliation may be, who has the good of Cameren county at heart will vote for C. F. Harclay, for Congress, and B. W. Green, lor Presi dent Judge, to the end that men may know that we are loyal to our own, and a force to be reckoned with. Then when men say that Cameron is a small county they may qualify that adverb as did a friend once who was speaking of our worthy Chief of Police, when be said, "He is a small man. but he is one of the biggest small men that you ever saw." This is Cameron county's opportunity to make an indelible impression on the surrounding counties, and this chance once gone may never return. K O. BARDWEU,. DEATH'S DOINGS. SKAVKtt. George Seaver passed peacefully out of this life at his home on Whittimore Hill, Weduesday. August 13lh. He had been ill for maey montha with gastric carcino ma, or His sufferings though very greai, wore bourne with christian fortitude. Funeral services were held from the Methodist church at this place Sunday afternoor. at three e 1 clock, conducted by Rev. N H.

Last Friday evening a number of young ladies and gents were invit ed to help celebrate the Kith anni versary of Miss Mamie Farrell at the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Farrell on east Fourth street. Those present report a pleasant time. More Soldier Boys. 1(30 of Uncle Sam's boys from Fort Niagara camped above town yesterday and continued on their journey this morning. They are on their way to Mt. Gretna and will travel over the same route as did the other detachment that pass ed through here last month. They expect to return about Oct. Ist. Hall Nominated. The Democratic judicial confer ence for the 25tli district met at Lock Haven Tuesday and Harry Alvan Hall was nominated for president judge by a vote of <1 to .'5, after which the vote was made unanimous. The Lock Haven Express says: "Besides the confer ees there were less than a score of persons iu the courthouse and it was hard to scare up a little en thusiasm." Sad Death of Little Guy Robinson While playing near an exhaust pipe at the Johnsonburg paper mill last Wednesday, eight year old Guy Robinson was badly scalded, and died ten hours afterward. The little fellow was playing with a younger brother, when the pipe which gives out steam saveral times a day left off its supply resulting in his death. Athough the flesh was dropping from his body, he ran to hia home some distance away. The child is the son of the late Win. Robinson formerly of this place. This is the fourth child that has died since the father not a year ago. His remains were brought to this place last Friday, inter ment being made in the Catholic cemetery. Add Insult to Injury to Clinton's Candidate. Quite a delegation of friends ac companied Harry Alvan Hall, Esq.. of Ridgway. to Lock Haven yester day to attend the Democratic judi cial conference, which met iu this city yesterday afternoon. A num ber of Renovo Democrats were with the party to help stir up en thusiasm for the Hall candidacy. We understand that George A. Brown, Esq., Clinton's candidate forjudge, sent a written request to Clinton's conferees that his name should not be presented to the con ference, but for some reason the request was ignored. It is said that Mr. Brown had no official notice of the meeting of the con ference and that he and his friends are very much dissatisfied at the treatment accorded Clinton's can didate. In the first place he was not permitted to select his own conferees and to this slight was added an ignoring of him in ar ranging for the meeting of the con ference. The Elk county Demo cratic machine manipulated the whole proceeding from beginning to end.—Lock Haven Express. Cameron County Fair. Emporium, Pa., Auy;. 18th. lOOli.

Words followed between the men and suddenly the stranger drew a knife and stabbed Thielges just over the left eye. Taken to Scranton. Potter county authorities are said to have received an inside "tip" that an attempt was to be made to release the men now in jail here awaiting trial for counterfeiting.
