tauuua opens July list and continues
forty-six days, ending August Iotn
with a series of grand entertainments,
musical, oratorical and dramatic, tnat
can be equaled nowhere else west
of the Mississippi river.
The Boulder Chautauqua was round

of Texas. The work soon grew to sucn
magnitude that an equal NUMBER OF
business men of Colorado was invited
to assist in the management ana 10

departments in its educational system,
a series of platform entertainments Oh

Each year new advances have been
made and changes effected to meet the
requirements of patrons. More than
twenty states were represented at
Boulder last year. Every facility as
to accommodations was called upoh'
This year the work of preparation mas
been going forward steadily and Chau-
tauqua guests may expect ample facli-
tiles and satisfactory service IN all
respects.
The educational department at Boul-

lists TREKKINO THiTHER.
A Brief Description of Some of the At
fractions, Among the Chief OF which
is the Boulder Chautauqua.
Denver Correspondence

Colorado has gained the title Of 1.-THE
peerless state of the mountains" The
title is fairly given, as no other state
under the domain of the stars ana
stripes presents so many advantages
Of climate, scenery and variety or
products. The gold and silver mines OF
Colorado are hardly less famous than
the magnificent sweep of mountain,
park and plain. The region embraced
by this queenly domain Is each year
becoming more noted as a summer re-
sort. The great lines of railway lead
ing from the East and South have THIS
year granted rates and privileges to
summer tourists not granted BEFORE
and it is expected that the food or
travel to the shades of the Rockies Will
far exceed that of any previous year.
The attractions of the Paris eXposl-
ton are to many persons worn with
the tolls of business less alluring than
the music of mountain stream and the
indescribable charm of life amidst the
rugged grandeur of the sublimest han
diwork of the Creator. The change of
altitude and pure air are marvellous
physicians. No tired worker can make
n mistake by spending the summer In
the Rocky Mountains, and no mortal
who yearns for communion with moth
er nature in her most attractive forms
will regret season in this land or
wonders.

REAL ESTATE BOOMING.
A NEW BRICK BLOCK GOING UP.
|. Ensbretsen Will Erect a Fine
) Block on West Water Street.

Truly West Water street Ii having q
boom. The steady trend Of business
and improvement in that directi, n
Tor the past year or two, coupled with
the removal of the post Office, has
caused real estate in that section of the
city to raise in value, and if present
prospects are an indication, West Wa
ter street will soon be the most promi-
nent business center of the city.
The latest move, and an improvement
which will be q conspicuous and sub
stantial one, is the new brick to be
erected opposite the PUBLIC OPINIoN
onlce, on the corner Of Water and
River streets. by HI. Engbretson. The
deal was closed last week whereby he
becomes owner of the corner lot west of
the city hall, and on Monday morning
men began to tear down the wooden
structure ON the corner lot and the
building between that and the city
hail, used by him for an office.
Mr.. Engbretson intends to begin, as
soon as the wooden buildings are out
of his way, the. erection of q handsome
brick block. covering the two lots west
of the city hsH. The building win be
44x70 feet, two stories high, and pat
termed somewhat after the Citizens
Savings Bank block, with plate glass
and pressed brick front. The lower
floor will contain two store rooms, and
the second story will be- made into
halls at present, and left SO that it
can be partitioned into offices when de-
sired. The removal Of these two un-
slightly wooden buildings, and the
erection in their place Of this hand
some block will be noteworthy i'm
provement to this part Of the city.
