the eastern end and the other near the
west end of the Colorado Midland Rail-
way; and both belonging to the line as
children of its enterprise.
In the history Of Colorado it is written
that the Ute warrior, sick from his
wounds or possessed by bad spirits which
would not be driven forth by the medi-
cine man, drank of the waters at the foot
of Pixies Peak and was cured In his
simplicity he thought he had regained
his health through the direct influence of
the Great Spirit, and he reverenced the
springs of Manitou as he did the great
snowy mountains. When his white
brother settled the land and sought the
springs, the fame of Manitou and Ute
Pass, from shadowy Indian legend be-
came world wide.
Manitou is SAP feet above the sea.
The springs contain salt, soda, iron and
sulphur, and their curative properties
are we'll known. The Garden Of the
Gods, Cheyenne Canon, Glen Eyre and
many other attractive places are near by.
The wonderful Cog Road, extending
to the summit of Pixies Peak, begins at
Manitou Iron Springs.
At Glenwood Springs, the mountains
encircle town, surprising in the beauty
of its location and simple loneliness the
Swiss villages of the Alps. Here the
great hills, lying one behind the other,
fading in the distance, make giant
fortresses that isolate and guard the
town; here the sun sinking behind the
western watersheds casts shadows into
the deep ravines and gloomy passes and
gives a glorious tint of mellow light to
the splashing waters Of the Roaring
Fork; here the breeze sweeping the hill
sides of evergreen and pine, arouses a
chorus of mountain voices and bears its
full burden of mountain odor and song
over the town. Glenwood has magnih-
cent hotel, five stories high, containing
200 guest rooms. 1t is lighted through.

bath house, separate from the hotel, are
complete in all of the necessary ap
