The BurIington's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the 1st of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are rs magnifi-
Gently equipped as any in the
country that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
eruufSirr5- ihrur y ,7esr, r,e,lve.-,-l~~,,-
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The buifet-smoking-library
car is something new for Denver
Chicago line. 1t is veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, writing-desk,
a compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet. The
curront periodicals and news
papers are on file, and n carefully
selected library islprovided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part,
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at $50
a. m. today ON one of them you
are lanslcd in Chicago at 2:l5 to-
morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points east The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twcnty-seven and three-quarter
hours. Just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is ALMOST five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to Fcbruary6, 1898.

An illustration Of the folly OF

An illustration of the folly of
worrying by looking too far ahead
is furnished by the present con-
dition of the sources of water sup
ply for the Colorado vallies under
irrigation. Last winter and
through early spring it was said
that the San Luis valley particu-
larly and the agricultural parks of
the state generally, were sure to
suffer from serious deficiency of
water for irrigation. Snow was
light in the mountains, thea. But
a cold and backward spring, with
considerable late snow fall and a
considerable rain fall in the past
month have dissipated the fears of
the pessimists and big crops
are assured,
