TO SPREAD THE TRUTH

The various towns over the state
are preparing to meet the minister
ing angel of better times by the
organization of boards of trade
and other associations having for
their purpose the better advertis-
ing of the section in which they
are located.
The idea is a good one and ii
pursued as it should be in state
like Colorado, cannot be otherwise
than prolific of the best results.
In the states where there is but one
resource to advertise, these organ
izations have been doing good for
years, and how can they be non
productive of results in state
whore there is everything to tell the
world abcutp
1t is a splendid indication when
such an apparent awakening oc-
ours, and it shows that the old-time
residents are again with us.
But there is new feature at
tached to the proposition now that
gives it better appearance than it
ever had before.
The people propose to see to it
that the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth is sent out in
cold type to ciucute the people of
the East on the advantages of the
Centennial state. There will be
no more mining fables and
Klondike booms in Colorado.
With every necessary resource
to make the state great
one, the truth is strong enough, and
from lessons learned in the past it
is evident that the people will do
more of the booming, as it has
been called by the early promoters
of the West.
Advertising will do Colorado
good, and it is encouraging to note
that the new sentiment is on the
increase, and that means are being
employed to place the exact. con-
dition of the state before investors
and home-seekers of the East.
Colorado, painted as she is, cannot
fail to attract people without add
ing extra touches that will only
bring disappointment to visitors
who come here with the idea of
finding things that really exist on
ly in the imagination of some
writer who is prolific of pretty
words. Denver Times.

chairs, lavatory, a writing-desk,
a compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and a carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is a 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 $3.50
a. m. today on one of them you
are landed 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
twenty-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 February 6, 1898
