Grand Western Railway, in conjunction
with either the Denver and Rio Grande
or Colorado Midland Railroads. This
route not only carries the passengers
through the heart of the Rocky noun
tains and in view of the most magnifi-
cent scenery on the continent, but it
also provides for stop-over ON railroad
and Pullman tickets at quaint and pict-
uresque Salt Lake City, Glenwood
Springs, Manitou, Denver, etc. Through
Pullman palace and ordinary sleepers,
free reclining chairs cars and a perfect
dining car service via this route to Dem
yer, Omaha, Kansas city, st. Louis, and
Chicago. Personally conducted weekly
