CHICAGO.

4 good rea1-cstate item is tilat the direct
foreign importatlons at Chicago are now equal
to those of Baltimore. Chicago is /. denser
city than most people know. The Chicago
Rctl-Estatc Circular points out that a conf
parison Of acres shows that Of orr important
cities three oniy-Brooklyn, Boston, and
Cincinnati
HAVE 4 SMALLER ACREAGE
than our own. and OF these three Boston has
less than two-tllirds and Cincinnati but half
our population. OF tie remainder, New
York alone shows denser population than
ours, having between $1,000 and :27,oo0 acres
within its city limits. while, rs com pared
with Chicago's -, 101 acres, we find 26,SS9
acres in San Francisco, 10000 in st. Louis,
and $500 i'll Philadelphia
When, in connection with these facts, we
take into account the immensely more rapid
growth OF our own city, it is easy to account
for the present rapid increase in the value of
real estate in aud near the city. There Is llo
question Of the fact that Chicago real estate
Is relatively far lower than that in any other
city Of the United States, In New York,
busincEs property has lately sold rs high as
S120 per square foot, and III Boston it has
brought S100.
No business property here has ever
changed hands at over $40 per square foot,
and since the panic. SIS has been the highest
figure.
IN RESIDENCE PROPERTY
the discrepancy is even more marked. We
have not ut hand the figures for Boston, but
in New York choice locations have sold as
high as S4,500 per front foot for lots 100 feet
deep, while within the past few weeks tho
highest prices paid here for lots $50 to $50
feet deep has been $500 per front foUt. On
The South Side such property, Ito feet deep,
has sold for S740 per front foot, whilc OIL the
North Side All offer Of over S570 for lots H.
feet deep has been declined, showing about
an equal value in proportion to tho depth III

THAT PRIZE
In fhe Estiitpr If The t,bict.ro T-ri

To the Editor of The chicago Tribune i
CHICAGO, Oct. 1G-IIaying noticed that a
prize Of money WAS about to be offered for
the best draw or lloist-bridge for our river,
would like to SLY through your paper that It
this amount of money were divided into ten
parts, Offering Il first an.! second prize for the
best methods, and also the different methods,
the results would prove t., be more Satisfacto-.
ry The great question t. be settled is, the best
method Of crossing the river, 50 that the least
time is lost by either tie navigate or citizen.
We can scarcely hope that the river tall be-
changed by cutting channels miles north or
south. thus doing way with the present river.
Tie practical question before us is to find: :
the best SYSTEM Of crossing. There would be
Il slight advantage III Il lifting-5ridge OF IN
Il tlrawbridge in the time occupied in moving
it; both would require to be worked BY
power other than men,; labor. The present :
swing-bridgcs might also be worked b7
power SO that half tte tine Uf opening and
shutting would thus be saved Tha "
bridges. are now SWING before the
ee'if' be the case i It It1;s power We're were used.
The men would calculate their time without
tear, Whether tho bridge be SWUNG or
lifted, or a draw, III either case the bridge
must be nut.. of the way before the vessel
passes. There would BE- u very slight ad-
vantage in the draw or lift bridge over ting
swing, should the swing bridge move toward
the vessel, but the bridge moves with Tho
vessel, SO there could be very little adyan'
tagc jn time over the present bridge, all be-
in. alike moved by power. The swing, It'll,
anil draw are alike liable to injury. from the
same causes, the wear and tear being a62as eh3s
the sl,.le IN all. 1t does not seem p0Sslol9
that any system of movable bridges, how
ever perfect, will be wholly satisfactory.
tine time is lost in the vessels passing
and NOT in moving the bridge;
All persons will agree they are not; fEettea
about the time when the bridge is about g
close, or closing that time is Short, and lna!.
with power, be reduced. There should bea
first and secoud prize offered for the bes.
practical method Of crossing the rieero o.
draw, lift, or swlng-bridge, all worked oy
power; also. for any other method OF cEoss. Sr
ing, and prize of substantial valne for ~ taa
method which. heing carried out, snonia
prove Itself complete in every respect. II
this way the best thought may be stimulated;
and the outcome a satisfactory solution Oh
the bridge question. D. IT,.

GUNNIsoN, Col, Dec. IL, 1881.
Ed. Register
This is Sunday. But who would
think it, to see the business houses all
open and the streets thronged by busi-
ness men and shoppers aud drinkers!
The saloons do a thriving business
here at all times; but Sunday is their
best day, I hear.
Well, perhaps you are wondering
awaiting description of what we saw
on our way here. The trip from Iron
ton to St. Louis has been made by SO
many Ironton folks, that it is needless
for me to describe that part of our trip.
We left ST. Louis for Kansas City in
the night; so what we saw on that part
of the trip is also indescribable. 1t
was a very pleasant part of the trip,
anyway; and more so because of the
reclining chairs which we were FORUM
ate enough to obtain. Next morning
we saw the "Bluffy"-looking Kansas
City arising to view in the distance
and grey dawn Of the morning. That
the Union Depot at Kansas City is a
great improvement on the one in st.
Louis, is one thing we noticed when
there; and it is almost as busy, TOO.
When we left Kansas City, we ran
along the banks of the Arkansas river
for miles and miles-in fact, We were
in sight of it until we reached Pueblo.
The river was full of floating ice, and
looked magnificent i'm the morning
sun. And when we struck the "pa- !
how interested we were
for awhile. But the monotony soon
became irksome; and even the little
prairie dogs and dug-outs and mud

ness beside our great desire to see the
About TIVE 1ty-four hours out from
Kansas City and the ground began to
appear broken, and small, blufflike
knobs could be discerned on all sides. |
And awhile later, in the distance
about two or three hundred miles off,
could be seen, rising out Of the ground,
the tops of mountains; snow-capped,
and blueish-pink in color. They leoke.t
as though they were about five or six ,

miles off, at the farthest--and l could
hardly believe that they were hun.
dreds of miles away. How relieved
we were to see them, and to think
that soon we would be relieved ol
the monotonous plains by sublime and
awe inspiring mountains-the great
Rockies Of Colorado!
AT Pueblo we awaited our train and
rectified few mistakes we had made,
and in the night again boarded the
cars-this time for South Arkansas.
Pueblo is thriving city; but il aw-
fully put together. Houses are built
Of all materials imaginable-and of
some no one would imagine, too. We
saw one building entirely covered
sides, ends, and roOf-with the tin from
old fruit cans: they had been melted
apart, hammered open, and nailed,
post in frunt of this mansion was orna-
mented (?) by a 'sand-hill crane" cap
ping it.. Other buildings" were Of
canvas and mud and straw. The town
proper, however, contains many almost
magnificent buildings; hotels and store
houses occupying whole blocks. But
oh how differently are they situated
and arranged from Eastern cities!
AS before stated, it was night when
we left Pueblo; so some of the most
magnificent scenery on the entire route
were invisible to us. But In passing
through the Grand Canon of the Ar
kansas, we looked from our car-window, =,
and the reflection of the ''head-light"
on immense icicles was a scenic won
der never to be forgotten. The sides
of this cavern are some three thousand
feet high, and perpendicular the entire
distance up-and imagine them, If you
can, covered with icicles, ami the light
glintlng, gIistening, and flashing myri-
ads of tiny sparkling spots all over the
whole thing!
We were soon on the tops of noun
tains, winding around and around
them. time and again; and at six diff
ferent times we passed the same spot
inside of an hour. We had been wind
gradually-and not very gradually, Ell
ther-getting higher and higher up
the mountain sides. All along this
road-the Denver and Rio Grande (nar-
row guage)-snow-sheds were building
on the mountain sides, where snow
slides were likely to occur.

i'm Pennsylvania! Here we have the

We were now nearing GunnisOn

you may imagine! Four nights and
days constant travel is tiresome, can
assure you. 1t was Sunday when We
arrived here. would not have known
1t from appearances, but my inner con-
science could not br deceived.
