each day. Glenwood Springs is des-
tined In the mean future to be far
famed as a pleasure resort.
Our party stopped at the Hotel
Barlow, kept by F. A. Barlow former
ly of Norton county this State, who
treated us royalty. Knowing by per
sonal observation the hard lot of the
Kansas editors he took especial pains
to fill us up with good things to eat,
recommended the proprietor of the
bath house to give US a good cleaning
up and all in all treated US most
kindly, charging US but reasonable
prices.
Returning the party visited Mani
tou, Pixies Peak, the Garden of the
Gods, Colorado Springs and Denver.
Resolutions were passed expressing
the thanks of the Association to the
Colorado Midland and our own grand
and good road, the Rock-Island,
which for good road bed, fine cars,
accommodating officers and employees
and efficient service, is not excelled by
any railroad in the United States.
John Sebastian, the gentlemanly Gen
eral Passenger Agent of the Rock
Island, especially has the hearty good
will of all the editors of North West
ern Kansas for the kind and courteous
treatment he has extended to them.
He is one of the high railway officials
who seems to appreciate the value OF
the labors of the newspaper men in
new and undeveloped country, who
for small returns and few honors
through i'll and good times, champion
the cause of their State and locality
and by inducing emigration and en-
couraging people to ''stick'' to the
country, very largely contribute tt
the material interests of the railroads
Mr.. Sebastian is yet young mar
and he gives evidence of possessing
the ability and pluck to go still high
er in railway management.

torial excursion the writer left Den
