I will pen a lew lines this even
ing, but I will leave the description
ot the wonders and the natural
scenery of Colorado tor a future let
ter. Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday I spun) in Lincoln, Nerbas
ka, and il was so In t that we could
scarcely endure the heat. The hot
dry winds were blowing and the
mercury was Hunting up around lU
degrees. Thursday ii rained and ii
beeaim oler. hi Friday morning
at 4:15 I boarded a train at Lincoln
for Denver. The distance is about
500 miles. Halt .( this distance
wc were greeted with somu very nice
farmlands. At McCook, Nebras
ka, the tanning land disappeared
and for 250 miles we crossed a plain
upon which nothing grows, but buf
falo grass. Buffalo grass never gets
any higher than about two inches.
It is good only forgrazing. It takes
about eight acres to feed one head ol
.attic, but it proves to he nourish
ing, ax o:oo we reached Denver,
the great commercial, financial ami
industrial centre for the Rocky
Mountain region. The city lies
about a mile above the sea level and
the air is so rare that a person resid
ing in a districts like Pennsylvania,
only a few hundred feet above the
sea level, finds himself a little light
headed. To-day I came from Den
ver to this place and we crossed a
mountain on the top ol w hich is
located Palmer Lake, 7287 feet
above sea level, or about I. J mihs
above the water of the ocean. Il
was very cold up there, in fact, we
were among the clouds. Overcoat
were iii evidence in Denver last night
and to-day there are more persoilf
wearing overcoats here than those
who do not. I visited Manitou
this afternoon and walked to the
base of Pike's Peak whosesummif is
over 14,000 feet or almost 3 miles
higher than Middleburg. Alvin

DENVER, Colo., Sept. 15.
I penned a few lines from Colo
rado Springs on Saturday and will
now endeavor to give you an idea of
Colorado and its Capital, the metrop
olis of the Rocky mountain region.
Before beginning with that I "wish
to state that in order to get there
the Chicago, Burlington andQuincy
R. R. is the best line west of Chica
go running trains all the way through
to Denver, a distance of 1025 miles.
The trains are supplied with easy
reclining chair cars and the best of
Pullman sleepers. From Denver
through the Rocky Mountain region
the line selected by the writer was
the Denver and Rio Grande
to go to Leadville and the Midland
Road on the return from Ijeadvule
to Denver. These roads are con
ducted by gentlemanly officials, and
the train managed by obliging em
ployees so that it is a great pleasure
to travel on these lines. lhe Den
ver and Rio Grande has quite a
choice of routes for mountain scen
ery and has also a through line to
Salt Lakef 'ityand San Francisco.
DENVER.
All eminent writer, who for fifteen
years has specially studied the past,
present and future ot the frans-Mis-sourian
State, says :
"Tenver is the geographical, rail
road, financial, commercial, smelting,
manufacturing, live stock, educa
tional, and social centre, and 'general
hub' not only of ( Colorado, but of the
entire Rocky Mountain region.
" The population ot I lenver lias
increased as follows: i860, lcsllian
1,000; census 1870, 3,731; IS80
(census), 35,628; 1890 (census) lnr,
713; 1898 (estimated) 165,000.
'olorado alone ennuis i:i area
the whole of New England ami the
state ol' New York put together,
with greater and more varied re
sources than any other State in the
Union, but the i ntry tributary to
Denver (and within which she has
no possible rival for 600 miles in
any direction) extends fur beyond
llu Stale ol 'olorado and practically
embraces the whole ol the territory
west ol the Missouri River, with an
area considerably greater than the
wlmlc ol lhe ( icrman Fmnire

"In this vast region, everv new
mine worked, every fresh acre culti
vated, every new orchard planted,
every new quarry opened, everv herd
it cattle or (lock of sheep turned out
to graze, and every manufacturing
nterprise rtartol, reacts benefit iallv
on, and sends new lite blood to tin-
heart d Denver."
The city of Denver is "l!t7 feet
ibovethe level of the sea or il little
less than a mile higher than Middle
burg. To one accustomed to living
in a denser atmosphere or a lower
level, the sensation is peculiar. One
feelsa little light-headed and must
be careful to walk slow ly for fear ot
being exhausted. The writer had
the pleasure of meeting J. M. Hur-
nell, the business inanagei ot the
Rocky Mountain Newt, who took
him to the Grant Smelting works, a
place worth the time of a visit. The
it y of Denver is built almost en
tirely id brick, stone and marble and
very soon tin- citv will be lire pr.iot.
A view from the home of the
capital building affords a splendid
sight ot the city and the summit of
Famous Pike's Peak, a distance id
80 miles away. In the basement of
the capital building is a very good
museum and an unparalelled collec
tion id all kinds -d minerals found
in the state of Colorado.
COLORADO SPRINGS.
We h-fl Denver at 1:40 Saturday
itternoon for Colorado Springs, (hi
the trip we passed Palmer Lake, a
resort place on the verv summit ot
the Divide at an elevation of 7HIO
feet. Beaching Colorado Springs,
we found ourselves in one of the
most pleasant mountain resorts ol
the West. It is a delightful city in
which to spend a vacation on account
of'its excellent hotels, pure dry air,
salubrious climate, lovely drives and
many places of interest. Its reputa
tion has become world-renowned.
This beautiful little city was laid
out as a healthy resort and its fame
as a sanitarium is wide-spread ami
thorougly deserved. It i" weltered
on the west by the range of moun
tains, on the wist by blufts, on the
north by a spur of mountains called
the Divide, and on the southwest by
Cheyenne Mountain. The town
covers an area of four square miles,
so there is plenty ol ground around
most of the houses; the streets are
wide and lined with shade trees.
The plateau on which Colorado
Springs is built has two water-
t-ourses, dividing on the north and
joining on the south. The ground
has a gentle slope from north to
south. The gravel which forms the
sulwoil is extremely porous, so there
