Denver and Pueblo.
The Pueblo Chieftain has an inter-
esting editorial comparing Denver and
Pueblo. Denver with it's splendid
buildings, parks and avenues, absence
of dirt and Of slzy-dimming smoke is
compared with Pueblo, the dirtiest in
all Christendon."
Tourists are warned against it.

friend. Gracious, goodness, no! What
if it is the second city Of Colorado ?
It is positively the dirtiest in all Chris
tendon! away down among the shale
hills Of the muddy Arkansas! The air
OF the place is filled with clouds of
alkai dust, SCOT and smoke and deaf

in all directions! No handsome resi-

Confidence in Future.
What is it that attracts and holds
people in Pueblo?" Not SO much It's

confidence in its future; "a confidence
bounded only by that in the future re-

ton, just as the waters Of the Arkan-
sas, seeking a natural level, come to

upon them for living. Railroads
from every directi.n must make Pu-
