Among the Hills.

Special REELECTION Correspondence.
GREEN Mt. FALLS, Colo, Aug. s.
Whatever may have been thought by
those remaining behind the Abilene
people who are settled for an outing
in the beautiful Ute Pass are well
satisfied with their venture. 1t is
something in these August days to be
where cool breezes blow off the snow
and light wraps are needed in the
evening, to say nothing of wide reaches
OF magnificent scenery, Of inspiring
views Of snow capped peaks and dane
ing waterfalls, We are mile aud a
half above Abilene but the altitude
does not affect US aud the days are
going with delightful pleasure. There
is no need Of any "antl. homesickn aud
the only thing that worries the party is
the early limitation OF the tickets and
passes.
The Pass is filled with Cxcursionists,
thousands Of knights coming up to see
this section OF the state. Colorado
Springs and Manitou are first visited
aud those resorts are thronged. This
place aud Cascade have fewer visitors
but still there are plenty to occupy the
tents, hotels aud cottages.

1t is currently reported that the
people who run the resort were former
" pirates and highway robbers hut
chose summer resort management as
more profitable. The rumor probably
started from the high prices charged
for everything.
