EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
PUEBLO, COL. TEL.. Nov. 7, 1872.
Here am I. at the end of my journey, at
last! Nineteen hundred and thirty-two
miles from Old Mather Huntingdon, via
the "Burlington Rout.," and yet I am but
little over half-way West! Such is the
magnitude of our great country. I have
just reached what, in the next hundred
ye irs, in all probability, will be the heart
or it as well as its geographical centre. The
va..-t plains which I have b. en pas-ing
th ough, for the last two or three dabs, at
the rate of twenty or twenty.five miles an
hour, will all en settled up in a few years
and millions will respond where only a
few stragglers are visible now. These
plains may look parched and uninviting at
present, but a very small amount of capit
and labor will make them gardens beside
the stet ile hills of Petan-ylvania and New
England. It matters not whether the na
tive American touches them or not, the
fireigners. that are constantly landing on
our shores, will make them to "bloom es
the rose." The tilling of the soil and the
planting of timber will bring with them
abundant moisture. 'this has been fully
demonstrated elsewhere. And with abund
ant moisture the most serious objection to
these vast plains will be overcome.
Well, to return to where I parted w'th
my readers yestertity morning. I to .k
the usual daily train on the Denver and
Rio Grande Railway for this plac,—one
hundred and nineteen miles from Denver
—where I arrived at 4:31) o'clock, r.
and put up at the Chileott House. The
scenery along the line of the rind is truly
grand. On your right you have the Rocky
Mountains, thrust up from the plain, pre
!tatting a th tusitid cut and carved shapes,
extending the entire distance. They are
just far enough off to take away their
naked ugliness and make them seem robed
in a garb of gauze, while on your left, un
til you reach the 'Colorado Divide," there'
is a succession of high bluffs upon which
many of the Monumental Rocks are loca
ted. Upon the strange and varied groups
here presented . I could have gazed for
hours.
When I left Denver there was consider
able snow upon the grounl, but the sun
came out warm and pleasant and it began
to disappear very rapidly. For the first
ten or fifteen miles out the read passed
through an agricultural region, and I no
ticed several farmers threshing. The win
ter grain looks well, and where there is
abundance of moi-titre the yield is said to
be from 40 to 50 bushels to the acre In
fact some of the old settlers tell marvelous
stories in regard to the prcductivenesa of
the soil wl•en irrigated, but I shall not re
peat them lest they might mislead some
one.
I stated above that I took the Denver
and Rio Grande Railway. This miniature
railway has created a tremendous sensa
tion in railway circles. It has settled the
question of the practicability of railways
of a gauge not exceeding three feet. I
am indebted to the editor of the Spring
fold (Mass.) RepuLlican for a description
of the equipment. He says : "The road
and its trains, in the first place. look like
a railway plaything. in contrast with the
broader and heavier tracks and lirger cars
of the accustomed lines; delicate and dain
ty, they seem almost tto faint and feeble
for the hard, quick work to which they
are called, and e-pecially unequal to the
g-eat contact which they have invited.—
Yet so far, surely, they are performing
their task with ease, with comfort, with
celerity, and with success. The track.bed
of the narrow gauge is 10 to 12 feet wide,-
as against 15 feet ; the distance between
the rails 3 feet, as against 4 feet 81 inch
es; the rails weigh 30 pounds to the yard.
as against 56; the engines 12 to 16 tons,
as against 25 to 30 tons, putting about half
the weight on the drive-wheels that the
large locomotives do; the pas enger cats,
with 8 wheels, and carrying 32 passengers.
weigh 6 tons, as against 18 tons. 8 wheels
and 50 passengers ; and the freight cars.
so far introduced, weigh 2 tons, run on 4
wheels and carry 4 to 5 tons of freight, as
against cars weighing 9 tons on 8 wheels,
and capable of 10 ton's load. Where four
passengers sit in the ordinary car, three
are seated in the narrow ones, two on one
side and one on the other of the passage
way, the car being divided in the middle
by a door, and the seats for two and one,
respectively, being reversed in the two sec
tions,.so as to balance the carriage. The
cars at first introduced are 7 feet wide, and
101 feet high from rail to top. They prove
a trifle more compact than is necesary,
and not quite generous enough in accom
modations for passengers; but this evil is
being remedied in new cars now construct
ing; while sleeping cars and day drawing
room cars can be made for the narrow
gauge roads, which will accommodate still
more persons. in proportion to their siz •
and weight, than the ordinary cars of this
character now do. The new freight cars
are on 8 wheels, weigh 3} tuns, and carry
9 tons. The box cars for general mer
chandise weigh 4 tons, and carry from 8
to 9 tons."
The road starts at Denver and termin
ates, at present, at Pueblo, a distance of
119 miles by the schedule. It full)ws the
valleys formed by the "Platte and its tribu
taries to the lop of what is called the Col
oradle." At the summit of this
- 14 151vide" a point 8,0 , 0 feet above the
ocean is reached, and 2,000 feet above
Denver. The grade is about 75 feet to
the mile. From the “Divide," which is a
spur of the mountains extending out at
right angles into the plain, from the chain
known as the Rocky Mountains, it fo,low
the tributaries of the Arkansas to Pueblo.
The cost of construction and equipment,
including all necessary expenses, have not
exceeded $14,000 per mile, while the Kan
sas Pacific, built by the same men, and I
think through a country better ad tpted to
building riilroads, cost $22,000 per mile.

work ! The ordinary passenger cars run

man c ,rs. A passenger can sit in them
,nd read for liners without scarcely weary
ing his e)es. It dues seem to me that the
pr jest is more than a suece•ss—it is a
complete triumph of the num who have
:Av.:eater' the '•Narrow Gauge." It is
just the thing in a mountainous region
or in an extremely Li!ly country. It is
just what the pa. ple of Huntingdon want
up Stone Creek, right past the birth place
of w. W. B.rst. Esq., the first Division
Superintendent of this kind of road in
America It would be Huntingdon's just
tribute to one or her meritorious sons.
EDITOR
W. W. Borst, Esq , who has been con
nected with the road as D:vi-din Superin
tendent since it has recoired a Superinten
delt, is a native. f St nJ Hunting
don county. wham his mother still resides.
Be served Lithfully during the war, in
the regiment of G.l. P..lmer, of Philadel
phia, now Gen. Palmer, President of the
Denver end Rio Grande R .ilway. After the
cess.tion of h.tstilitit-s. Gen. Palmer was
connect, d with the Kans:s Pacific, and
having every confidence in his old com
rade, Borst, he tendered him a position
upon the road. Ilis first position was to
superintend the shipping of the iron for
that road at Pitt burgh. Ile was subse
quently located as agent and plynrister at
Sheridan. Kit Carson. and finally at Den•
ver. In the n.eantinte Gen. Painter was
selected as President t.f the Denver and
Rio Grande R Tway, and he tendered the
position of D.vision Superintendent to Mr.
Burst whieh he accepted and *till holds.
Be is constant'y at his ptst, an indefati
gable worker, strictly temperate and regu
lar in his habits, and above all strictly
Mutest I hope to see the day when he
will be Sulam intendent of the entire line
of r. ad from Denver to the .ttio Grande, a
distance of 750 miles.
The country traversed by the railway
out to the •Divide" is quite inferior. and
this is the case down to the attighbothood
of Colorado Springs. Bark from the
Fountain, a ttibutary of the Arkansas, the
plain is occupied by Rancliemen who raise
anti feed th iu , at ds of cattle and sheep
A single Randleman may own two, three
or four thousand acres of land and feed
ten or fifteen thousand head of sheep or a
propottionato number of cattle. Millions
of dollars are invisted in the business. The
soil is strongly impregnated with alkali,
eta c title or sheep n'ed very little, if any.
She-p will net two d..llars per head
each year over and above expenses for
herding and cupping. They are worth
from 0.50(§3.50 per head according to
quality. Native sheep do not. succeed very
well: in fart it is said that only one-third
will survive at the end of a year. About
three-fourths Mexican succeed best.
Colorado Springs is the most important
point on the road. This is a beautiful
place. It has been built up inside of two
years. The houses are •noit and substan
tial and the streets are wide and dean. It
is well watered by water brought in a ca=
nal from the Fountain. Every street has
a pure stream of wat••r coutsing along a
canal between the side-walk and the street.
A very Sue hotel has been built here.—
Pike's Peak looms up above it on the west
at a distance of perhaps six miles in a
direct line. My impression was that it
was not more than two and a half or three
miles to the summit of it. • But on inquiry
I was told that the summit could only be
reached by traveling about sixteen Miles.
Carriages can be us,d for a distance of
eight miles. then mules for six miles fur
ther and the remainder of the journey
must be tandem] f
The distance front the railway stat!on to
the different places of interest in this lo
cality are as follows: Colorado City (Old
Tzwn), t‘vo and one-half miles; Bode
Springs, five and three-fourths miles;
Garden of the Gods, four and one half
tn:les; Glen Eyrie (where Gsn. Palmer
has a unign:fieent residence, and where an
eaglet was ushered into being while I was
in the neighborhood,) five miles; Cbiaun
Canon five, and Monument Park nine
miles. It will take several days to visit
all these places of interest.
Front 'Joleratlo Springs to Pueblo the
soil is strongly mixed with alkali. There
is very little timber ; only a few cotton_
woad trees. The vegetation is a peculiar
grass, sage brush and cactus. The atmosphere
is very highly rarefied. An eastern man, it
is said, will see an antelope upon the plain,
steal up within what he believes to be
shooting range, fire away and the antelope
will never cease its grazing. He will go
forward until he reaches the p•eipt where
he saw h;s ball strike the earth, and blaze
away again with a similar result. It will
not be until the third shot that he will be
likely to disturb the quiet of the harmless
creature before him. This decepti n in
distances was very mortifying to me. I
saw a little brtte out upon the plain,
which I supposed was a few hundred yards
away, and was astonished to hear that it
was several miles off.
Puebla. is located on t - le Arkansas a
short distance fiom where the Fountain
enters it. It emitaine a about 2,000 in
habitants. There are some very ne it brick
business houses hero and others being
erected. Many of the buildings. however,
are adobe—brick dried or burned in the
There are several persons here from

and carrying on ma•chandizing extensively.
They have stores at Pueblo, Trinadad and
Ft. Lyon. There is a son. of Dr. Win

doubt there are others.

At ha f-past ni - ae o'clock, A. M., on the
morning of the ith, I left Pueblo on the
"home stretch." I had the pleasure of the
company of Superintendent I'orst, who
had been visitiag the branch from Pueblo
TURE, STOVES, CARPETS,
to Canon City, a distance of 40 mileS up
in the mountains. At the latter place the
railway reaches coal ut'nes, where the best
coal is found for steam generating purpo
ses. yet discovered in the Rocky Moan
tains. Large quantities are beim.. mined
and shipped to Denver. It is supposed
;II it the K. P. R. It. will run a branch of
their road, from Kit Carson to Pueblo, for
the purpose of reaching these mines. Our
little iron horse—quite a pony—pulled u,
up the heavy grade towards C.lorad
Springs at from seventeen t r twenty miles
en hour. It has made an high as twenty
eight miles an hour. It was amusing to
see the rabbits run at times when the en.
g;ne would whist'e. I sow three and four
at one time. They would dash among the
sage brush as if the very Old Harry wo
of er them. The little prairie dogs, how
ever. would sit bolt upright and would
gaze at the unt.l it was only
a for rods off, when into their holes they
would pop, with a little yelp or signal. and
the next instant their noses would be pro
truding: Game appears to be very plenty.
At Colorado Springs I met Harry Hun
ter, son of John R. Hunter, Esq. of Hun
tingdon. He has been in the neighbor
hood for a year or two. He is well located
and doing very well. The diamond fever
had just reached the Springs. In a few
days it would be raging fiercely. Gre it
stories were being repeated of the finding
of valuable stones, worth thousands, of
course, and they would have their effect
upon a population that is principally made
up of adventurers.
lion. John Scott is expected at the
Springs this season again. He and his
party : - .re spoken of with much warmth.—
If he should fail to visit them the coming
Summer much trsapp ,intment will be fell.
Thousands of persons are beginning to vis
it these Springs, since hotels have been
erected, for their health,. It is alleged that
no incipient case of consumption or asthma
has fitiled to be cured in this atmosphere;
but on the other hand, whin the disease is
deep seated and in the last stages, the pa
tient is only hurried to his final resting
place The pulse is said to be accelerated
about ten pulsations.
We arrived at Denver on time, and an
hour or two later I was aboard of the K.
P. for Kansas City. I soon retired and
was aroused the next morning for break
fast at Wallace. The breakfast was a bad

it could be made. Here you get buffalo
steak and beef steak from the same piece
of flesh. Four buffaloes put in an appear

one and I spent the day very pleasantly
By six o'clock on the morning of the 9th
I was back to Kansas City.
I spent Saturd,y hunting up Eastern
pe ,ple. Among others I had the pleasure
of meeting Di. Huyette, fitrmerly of Sha
ver's Creek, who is now located in that
place. In the evening I attended a meet
ing of the Pennsylvanians in Kansas City.
at the Broadway Hotel, who had met for
the purp ,se of getting up a demonstration
in h nor of-the great majority given by the
Keystone State for Gen. Grant. There
were about forty in attendance It. was
resolved to get up a real old fashioned
Pennsylvania supper. The bill of fare was
to contain buckwheat cakes and map!e mo
lasses, glade butter. oven-baked bread. saur
kraut, apple butter, Monongahela whisky,
&c., &c. It was very pleasant meeting
these old fashioned Pennsylvanians so far
from home,
We spent the greater part of Sunday
with our old friend WU/. C Shafer and
his family, formerly of Bedford. They
keep the Smart House, and do a large pri
vate boarding business. Sunday is almost
104 sight of after passing the Missouri
river. In Kansas City the stores and
shops and places of amusement are in the
main kept open. In the afternoon we had
the pleasure of meeting Maj. Frank and
Josiah Holsinger, f rmerly of Wuodbnry,
Bedford county. They reside out of Kan
sas City several miles, but eventually, if
the city continues to grow as it has fur the
last ten years, they will be in the city
We bade our kind and hospitable friends
good-bye on Monday evening, at 4:30
o'clock, on the 11th in-t , and took the
Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council
Bluffs R. R. for St. Joe and the B. & M.
R. R. It fromthatpoint to Burlington. We
stopped at Ottumwa for breakfast and
found it quite a smart town. It is grow
ing very rapidly. We passed through
Fai:field and a namber of other thriving
and beautiful towns before reaching Bur
lington. This portion of lowa is very well
timbered. and I would judge very produc
tive. It has been settled for e number of
years evidently.
The Burlicgton and Missouri River Rail
!load is one of the best equipped roads in
the West. The road bed is substantial
and the cars are second to none in the
country. The dining car arrangement is
in vogue here and it is one of the greatest
improvements known to railroading.
We re-crossed the iron bridge over the
Mississippi and an hour or so later ar
rived at Galesburg. Here we were obliged
to lay four hours. This was very tiresome.
I spent the time sauntering about the
place and looking into the repair shops
At five o'clock we struck out for Peoria.
A few miles from the latter place we went
through a wagon and two horses. The
driver was thrown off to one side uninju
red, but the horses and wagon were not
word' twenty-five cents a bushel. This
delayed us considerably, but the Indiana
pais, Bloomington and Western train
waited fur us and brought us into this
place just in time to be too late. Here we
are obliged to wait five hours before the
next train leaves for Columbus and Pitts
burgh Five hours ! Just think of it !
But it can't be helped.
This is one of the greatest railway cen
tres in the Western States ; same to. or a
dozen trains are made up here. Fiona here
we go directly to Pi tsburgb, via Colum
bus, and, if we should not stop off at the'
former place, we will be in Huntingdon,if
all goes well, on Thursday morning.

It is gratifying to us to inform the public that
Dr. L. Q. C. Wisbart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial, for
Throat and Lung Diseases, has gained an envia-
ble reputation front the Atlantic to the Pacific

cured at hie office, While he publishes less, so

First. Not by stopping cough, but by loosening
and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy
matter collected about the tl nut and b.onch:al
tub., which cams irritation,
Second. It removes the cause of irritation (which
produces cough) or the inueous membrane and
bronehial tubes, assists the lungs to act and throw
off the unhealthy secretions, and purifies the blood.
Third. It is free from squills, lobelia, ipecac

disorganize the stomach. It has a soothing efieot
on the stomach, acts on the liver and kidneys, and

which it must hold above all Others in the market.
