more closely associated with the

the Mexican settlements at Santa Fe,
Albuquerque, Ell Paso and Chihua-

Colorado should follow the ex-
ample of Kansas and do its part by
marking the trail where it passes
through this state. 1t belongs in a
measure to Colorado, and it played
an important part in the early his

Whatever may be done in this
state or in Kansas should be done
soon, for lack of use and the settle

the trail and making it more and
more difficult to determine its ex-

pass over 1t now, and the men to
whom at one time it was familiar
are growing old. 1t must be out
lined soon or the opportunity to pre-
