A Trip to the San Luis Valley.

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-HsViDg received
many inquiries from friends in different
parts Of the state who are thinking OF
changing their location, some Of whom
expressed q desire to know something Of
the irrigated district Of Colorado and
the best means Of reaching il, and being
unable to answer their intsrrogstions in
telligently, decided to visit the great
San Luis valley, which at this time is
receiving go much attention. I would
say that there are many excellent lines
Of railway extending into the interior Of
the centennial state. Prominent among
them are the great Rock Island route,
Union Pacific and Santa Fs.
0a January IL, in company with Mark

trip over the Denver 6 Rio Grand
road into the above named valley. We
arrived in Alsmosa, beautiful city OF
!, 200 population, on the morning Of the
18Th, having laid over in Denver one
day. The climate is very much like
that Of Kansas. The temperature very
seldom gets lower than ten degrees be-
low zero, or higher than ninety above.
The nights are very cool during the
wRrmest summer months, necsssitRting
the use Of blankets. Snow seldom lays
longer than few days.
On the morning we arrived the ther-
mometer stood three degrees below zero,
yet we felt no inconvenience in travelling
in an open wagon without our oVercoats,
the air being so very light and dry the
crisp atmosphere seemed to have no un-
pleasant effect. Taking team we drove
ten OK twelve miles to the southwest and
found q most excellent soil from six 10
fifteen feet deep; originally covered with
crossword, which the old settlers say in
dcates the best land.
