RA1LwAY NEWS.

Travellers, tourists and people con-
templating a visit "back east" make
1t their duty to study up the geogra-
ply of our country, the location of
cities and towns, and the most deslr-
able routes by which they can reach
the desired destination. The open
ing of new lines. the daily adoption
of lnnorations and other matters con-
nected with railroading all prove in
teresting reading, and such items are
most eagerly sought after, while these
vast corporations vie with each other
in advancing the comfort and safely
of their never to be satisfied patrons.
We were most forcibly thrown into
this line of thought while enjoying
trip over that road whose name is
as familiar and with whose ramifica-
tions the experienced traveller is as
well acquainted as with the streets
of his native village. Reference can
be made to none other than the
Wabash whose Lines cover beauti-
full and fertile country and connect
Omaha, Kansas City, Des Mones,
Keokuk Quincy and St. Louis with
Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Pittsburg,
New Yoak, Boston and all intermedi-
ate points. But one change of cars

Quick time, smooth track, sumptuous

your leisure moving palaces better
known as Pullman sleepers, free re-
clining chair cars of the latest and
most approved patterns together with
affable and obllging agents in all
branches of its service, are IN each
and every particular characteristics
of the "Wabash." No matter whore

No other feature of our noble ex.
position is at once so attractive and
so instructive as is the exhibit being
made by the bureau of immigration
and statistics of the state of Colora-

play so profuse, and yet at the same
time so intelligently, SO discriminat-
ingly and SO tastefully exhibited
Herein is presented an epitome of
the natural products of Colorado and
of those manufactures articles to
which Colorado contributes the raw
material.
The exhibit occupies an area 60
feet in length, 45 in depth and 80 in
height, every bit of this space having
been utilized to the shrewdest advan-
tage. The arches supporting the su-
perad iacent galleries divide the space
into three distinct sections, and one
of these sections is devoted to the
display of grains and grasses, an
other to the display of material, and
the third to building stone, oil, ma
terial paints, and divers mapufact
ured articles. The rear wall of this
extensive space is covered with spec
linens of the fora of Colorado, this
complete and beautiful collection
having been loaned by the state Uni
versity at Boulder.
