Sends Photos TO London.
General Passenger Agent George W.
Heintz Of the Rio Grande Western is
in receipt Of a letter from the house Of
commons, London. asking that he send
half a dozen large tinted photographs
of scenes along the route of the West
ern, in order that they may adorn the
walls Of one Of the Hobbies of the house
OF parliament at Westminster. Need
less to say, the request was complied
with Immediately. AS several thousands
OF tourists from all over the world daily
take in the legislative halls Of Eng
land, the chance of advertising the
Scenic Route is one not to be lightly
passed by.
1t may not be generally understood,
but the Western is the heaviest ad-
vertiser in the west. In speaking of
the matter yesterday Mr.. Heintz said:
THE Rio Grande Western does more
advertising than all the roads in the
west put together, and we advertise in
all the principal cities of the world ;
taken day by day, we never receive less
than twenty-five letters of inquiry from
different parts of the world. To attend
to this correspondence takes up the
major portion of a mans time"
There are over 1000 papers in the
United States at the present time that
are carrying Rio Grande Western adds,
in addition to those which are repro

columns. An idea of the business con-
nected with the advertising department
may be arrived at when it is stated
that the postage bills alone amount to

Philadelphia, May 12.-The report
from New York that the Pennsylvania
road had arranged to borrow the sum
of $15,00O,00O for one year at 4 per cent

stock purchases, notably that of the
Long Island railroad, has been denied
by Captain John P. Green, first vice
president Of the Pennsylvania road.
and by William A. Patton, assistant
to the president. Mr.. Cassatt is out Of
the city.
Il have not heard of the statement
and l know of no such proceedings"
said Captain Green. such a thing is
impossible and perfectly absurd on its
face"
Despite Captain Green's denial it is
understood that negotiations have been
in progress during the past five weeks.
II is said here the loan has been
placed in New York. with the Chem
lcal National bank as intermediary, at
per cent, for one year, with the priVi-
lege of renewal for another year.
The Pennsylvania railroad, it is
stated, win issue debenture certificates
as security for il. This proceeding, if
It proves to be true, is exceptional in
the history of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. It is believed to have been rem
dered necessary by the company's re-
cent heavy outlay acquiring stock in
terest in the B. & o. to the extent Of
104, 600 shares; in Chesapeake & Ohio.

me question is frequently asked:
Why is it that everybody going east
ask for their tickets over the Denver
q Rio Grande railrOad?n This is easily
answered; it is conceded by the travel
ing public that there is more scenery
on the D. & r. q. r. r. than on all
the other railroads In North America
combined. The rOadbed, as we'll as the
equipment, cannot be excelled, and the
new dining cars are simply. perfection.
one feature concerning the Scenic
Route" which should always be thought
OF by travellers is, the two routes be-
tween Grand Junction and Denver: the
broad gauge runs via GlenWOOd
Springs, through the Grand and Eagle
canyons, over Tennessee Pass, through
Leadv1ile, Browns canyon. the Grand
canyon of the Arkansas, or ROYAL
Gorge, Pueblo. Colorado Springs. Pal
mer Lake to Denver. The narrow gauge
follows the GunnisOn river, passing
through Delta, Montrose. over CerrO
Summit, through the famous Black
canyon, where is to be seen the Curre-
can't Needle, over Marshall Pass, which
is conceded by the known world to be
the greatest feat of railroad engineer
ing ever accomplished, through the
Royal Gorge, Canon City, Florence,
Pueblo, Colorado Springs to Denver.
Tickets are good via either the broad
or narrow gauge, at no additional cost
to passenger. The most of the people
going east this week, account of the
very low excursion rates that the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railroad is making.
viii go over the broad gauge and re-
turn over the narrow gauge, thus TAX
ing in all of the scenery in Colorado.
II should also be borne in mind that
the through Pullman and ordinary
cars, also chair cars to Omaha.
Kansas City and Chicago via Grand
Junction only go over the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad. The Denver &
Rio Grande company appreciates the
large business that the Utah people
have always favored it with, and soIic-
its the business again this season.
