Greeley, Col, Sept. 1.-There
was never 4 more successful en-

known as the s:Frontier Colony"
1t was not long, however, before
this name was lost sight Of, and
tho locality is now universally
known as Colorado Springs. The
plan originated with Gen. Palmer,
President Of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, and the chief
features were as follows: Several
thousand acres were purchased,
lying three miles east OF the base
ofPike's Peake, on most suitable
ground, but with only a moderate
supply Of water. The scenery
was so grand that it compensated
for every disadvantage, and there
were several remarkable objects
Of Interest, such as the Garden OF
the Gods, Cheyenne. Canon, and
Ute Falls, while the soda aud iron
springs, seven miles from the
COLONY, and owned by the Compa-
ny, possessed great attractions
The land being surveyed, irrigat.
ing bitches were constructed at a
great expense, streets were laid
OF, the town was plotted, aud
members were allowed to select
certain parcels OF and for the
sum Of e15O. But only part OF
tho lots were open to selection, the
rest being held in reserve by the
Company. In addition to many
Improvements, made withoutcost
% the members, the STREETS were
planted on each side with shade
trees, aud the wide avenues With
four rows, two rows beiag in the
middle. For some cause, difficult
