While the construction OF high

Lamar wonld necessarily be eX-
pensive, it is believed that water
rights could be applied on the

The reclamation OF such vast
tract Of land--nedrly as much as

should stand reand to encourage

TOURS IN THE ROCKY
MOUNTAINS.

A mountain tourist in search of
grand and beautiful scenery finds an
embarrassment of riches IN Colora
DO aud Utah. but if The names Of
the Denver Il Rio Grande and the
Rio Gtande Western railroads are
borne in mind when planning Il
trip there is little chance of max
ing mistake or meeting with dis
appointment.
This is the only route having
two distinct lines through the
Rocky mountains, thus ailordIng
the tourist the advantage OF going
VIA one line and returning via The
other. In this manner the trip
from Denver. Colorado Springs, or
Pueblo to Grand junction may be
made Via the main line, through
the Royal Gorge, I.eadville. over
Tennessee Pass, through Eagle
River Canon. Canon of the Grand
RIVER and Glenwood Springs. re
turning via the Black Canon OF
Gunnison. and Marshall Pass, or
vice versa, all through tickets be
ing available via either route.
Tourists TO and from Salt Lake
City. Ogden, Portland or San Fran
cisco. will find it to their advan-
tage to haye their tickets read in
both directions via The Scenic
Line of the Worldn and "The
Great Lake Route" thus securing
the privilege of using one of the
above lines going and the other
returning.
The above covers in a general
way the trans. continental POI ton
OF he Denver n Rio Grande and
the Rio Grande Western, but it
must be remembered that this is
but a part of the entire system.
For instance, the line from Pueblo
over beautiful La Feta Pass, VIA
the magnificent Toltec Gorge TO

affords one OF the grandest trips on
the continent. This III connect.

the Republican party is concerned he
