Why Take the Wabash
For ST. LOUIS?

For ST. LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pulmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROIT?
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTSi
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

You will find the time and service of the
Burlington Route superior to all other
lines.
The magnificent gas-lighted vestibule
"Flyer," leaving Denver daily at 900 p
M, reaches St. Louis at 7:20a. NJ, and
Chicago at $500 a. M, the second morning,
making connections for oil points east.
The Burlington is the only line run
ing through sleepers and chair cars from
Denver to st. Louis without change.

The Northwest New Mexican, printed

miners have staked all the stakable claims
in the Good Hope district. Why, that's
all right. That's the way Colorado min

and feel that they are welcome.

THE field of labor is suffering from a
fit of congestion that only the remone-
