General Ticket and Passenger Agent
George Ady of the Union Pacific
was in the city yesterday and
was met by GAZETTE reporter
at the Fort Worth aud Denver
general offices. Mr.. Ady had just COM
pleted tour of the state in the interest
of the great Panhandle system, and was
not 10th to talk about railroad matters
that he thought would be of interest to
the public. In reference to the report
Of a coming reduction Of forces on the
system, he said he had no information
that there would be any cutting down
on this end, the force here being no
larger than was necessary, SO far as he
knew, TO transact the business of the
company. When asked if it was
contemplated to increase the pas
senger service on the Fort Worth
and Denver Mr.. Ady said that he did
not see that it was needed, and that the
service had recently been materially
improved in the way of an additional
train that met all demands, and that
chair cars had been placed on the line,
adding greatly TO the comfI of the tray
cling public.
1.-THE company has an eye on the
wants of the public he said, "and
when they see anything absolutely
needed that the business of the road will
in any way justify, it Will be supplied
before the people ask it.
"How is travel over the line?' asked
the reporter.
at is very good, and much better
shor, III Df
the year.
ITO what do you attribute this in
crease?''
"To two causes: The Panhandle of
Texas has been so extensively advertised
by our road that it has attracted the at
tentiQn of the world of homeseekers,
and they are pouring into that section by
hundreds. Another cause that is adding
greatly to our business is the growing
popularity of the mountain summer re-
sorts in Colorado. And right here L wish
10 tell you that no country on the face of
the globe, north. south, east or west,
affords more comfort, more pleasure, or
more means of amusement to the sum
mer tourist than do the summer resorts
in the mountains of Colorado. In the
matter of scenery nature did her best in
forming that section. The grandeur of
the mountains whose tops are ever COW
cred with snow; the beauty of living
streams of pure sparkling water; the val
leys covered with fragrant wild
flowers, and the forests Astounding
in game of all kinds, while the finest
trout in the world fill all the mountain
streams, furnish feasts for the eye and
sport for those who love the sports of the
stream or the forests.
"That is all very nice, - said the re-
porter, "but how Is IT about accommo-
dations and the charges for the same?'
1.-THE accommodations IN the way of
hotels and cottages at all the resorts,
cannot be surpassed. For those who
prefer hotels, there are as good hotels
with all modern improvements, as can
be found anywhere, and the charges are
away below what will have to be paid at
any of the eastern watering places. For
those who prefer other than hotel life,
cottages or even tents with all things
necessary TO light housekeeping can be
rented at moderate cost, and the nec-
essaries of life are much cheaper there
than they ara here in Texas.
az tell you thGre is no country like il
for a summer jaunt. You can set on the
bank of beautiful trout stream catching
waited to you from every side the fra
GRANGE OF thousands of flowers, and a
delightful breeze from the snow capped
mountain tops fans your brow. You
may talk about Kentucky, the mountains
of Virginia and North Carolina in the
summer, bnt the snow-clad Rockies
with their invigorating climate beats the
world. The people are beginning TO
learn this too, aud they are coming there |
10 spend the summer from all points
Texas aSwen as other states.
''How arc rates from Texas TO this
land of beauty?''
Low, very low-so low that person |
could hardly feel them. And then after |
you get there living is SO cheap. II is a
mist Ike 10 think that because they are
summer resorts that these places charge |
high prices. You can live there, and |
live well, at from 81 to 81. 80 per day,
while at the resorts east you can t look |
at hotel for less than the highest prices
