A WoRTHY EXAMPLE ro FoLLoW.

Denver continues to grow and pros per far beyond the expectations of all disinterested parties who have been looking on from a distance. For years this place struggled alo~g, without making much headway. In 1870 the population of Denver was but little over 4O00 or not quite as large as Tombstone Is today. This number was not materially increased until about 1874, When the shaping of her superior system of railroads began to open up the country, and make 1t possible t0 develop the latent wealth of that rich mining region. Thus it will be seen that, dileen years after the first settle ment Of Denver, il possessed a popula- ton of less than 5000. But these 5000 souls were full of life, energy and perseverance; they were made up of the
 bone and sInew of the great West
 With them everything was possible and nothing was too great for them to
 undertake, if 1t promised anything for
 the future of theIr town and Territory.
 The Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific
 were completed to Denver, giving them
 competing lines to the East, making 1t
 possible to secure far freight and pas
 s-nser raUes, but betQEe th5y could
