upholstered in crimson and old god, with
all conveniences of toilet; high back, luxu-
rious seats; the smoker model of practical
convenience, upholstered with leather; the
dining cars newly equipped and furnished
upon the regular Moth Western standard

for these trains by the Wagner and Pullman
companies, each company seeking to outvie
the other in excellence of construction. con

In addition to the FOREGOING features Of

A Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize a colony of So

lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing a contented aud
prosperous community.
AL who desire to join with this object in

The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with a climate suited
to tho growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach,
There will be an abundance of water for IT,

ture.
A town will be laid out with 'ots for bus
mess and residence purposes, these last in

Greedy Colony. Wide streets will be made

reservations will be made for churches,
schools, public buildings aud parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on tho adjoining lands
Temperance is the basis of contentment
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard o
virtue and the shield of the weak A strict
prehibitory clause will be inserted in the

chiefly by people Of limited means like him.
