The Western Slope Congress, through
its vice president, Geo. Stephan. =. who is
in charge OF the enterprise, has sent out
the following letter:
Delta, Colo. June %. 1897.
Dear Sir:-On behalf OF the Western
Slope Congress have just completed
arrangements with six railroad compa,
nies by which we will be able to send free
OF CHARGE car load Of fruit, vegetables,
grain. minerals. etc, to be placed in the
car in the form Of display and to be
sent through the country as an exhibit
ton Of the productions Of the Western
Slope. The car will stop at Denver, Kan
sas City. St. Louis. Chicago, Omaha and
all other towns OF any importance along
its route. We believe this to be the best
way to advertise the resources OF the
Western Slope and particularly as it is
not costing US anything. We do think,
however, that each county should send
some printed matter describing its natu-
raj advantages.
1t is proposed to assign to each coun-
ty on the Western Slope such space in
the car as they Iequire and We ask that
each coSaty appoint some one to gather
srch products n they may wish to ex-
hibit and alss to help place same in car.
We propoec to load the car. which will
be d. L r. 6. standard gauge baggage
or passenger car, at Grand junction
early in Scpte-aber and white the space
will naturally he limited. we think we can
assign to each county room enough
10 make a very creditable exhibit and we
believe that, collectively. X will make

Colorado. A practical ffuit grover -

the productions Of the Western Slope
Tho newspapers along the route will be
kept posted - to the time when the car
will arrive in each town and stope will
be made OF from two hours to one day
depending on size OF town and the train
service. 1t il estimated that the car
can make the trip in from three to four
weeks, during which time it will be
necessary for the counties furnishing
pseishab be fruit to occasionally foe ward .
new supply to replace that which decays.
l wish to urge upon the several coun-
ties the necessity OF acting in this mat
ter at once and to notify me a. to the
space required, the nature OF the xhibit,
etc. also notify me rs early As possible
who has been appointed to gather the
exhibit. l would also suggest that you
at once arrange for such printed matter
as you wish to send with the car for dis
tribution.
Hoping to hear from you at your earli-
est convenience, / remain. yours truly,

Prince Christian of Denmark, had he
been only a king instead of prince,
would certainly outrivai the story of
Alfred of old and the cakes. One day
he had to review some troops at Bierre,
country town of small dimensions.
Riding home, tired and thirsty, he stop
ped at ii farmhouse to beg drink. The
old farmer s wife bade him welcome and
enter. AS she was at the moment pam
cake making, she asked him if he would
like some. VERY much, indeed, =" re-
piled the prince. and soon he was com-
fortably seated, enjoying his humble
fare at the kitchen table.
Having finished his meal, he asked
the old dame how much he owed her.
Nothing at all" was the answer. On
his persisting that he would prefer pay
ing, she patted his shoulder affection
ately, saying: "You are soldier, my
son, and soldiers are always hard up )
/ never take anything from them.'' He
suggested he was not quite so "hard
up" as the generality of them "Ob,
know betterp' and with knowing
wink and q nod she turned to her pam
