MANITOU And VICTOR
Colorado Points Of Interest Viewed
by oskalOOsa Girl.

The following extracts from letter
to Mr.. and Mrs. George Prime from
their daughter Marie. are published
by permission and win be found inter
esting to all:
Denver, Aug. Saturday after
hurrying through my work I went
home and grabbed my carpet sack and
started for Colorado Springs. The
trip was in company with Miss Fom
belle and by four o'clock we arrived
in the beautiful city Of 10000 inhab
itants. On the way down we passed
through very pretty country although
not mountainous, still in sight of the
mountain scenery. Palmer Lake is
about two-thirds OF the way and at an
uphill grade, being 1920 feet, while
Denver and the Springs are only s..
ESQ. Most every year they are doing
quite a neat business here at Palmer
Lake, but this year there is nothing
doing practically at all. This com
plant holds good, though, everywhere
guess, on account of the Fair at
st. Louis. a.
When we reached Colorado Springs
there was no one there to meet us,
but we decided that there would be
some one soon, so waited and soon
heard that glad call of Annals and
there they were in a three-seated rig
and driver to match, ready to take us

grips, thence to drive out South
Cheyenne Canon. We are looking on
all sides and have quite drive before
we reach the mountains, but we pass
through Stratton Park, one of the
prettiest / ever saw, and | guess the
only one Colorado Springs has. Then
we come to places Of interest mostly
named on the rocks, one being called
the Devils Slide" and here is where
Anna and Mrs. Starke were riding
on those burros and Mrs. Starke made
the mention that it was no wonder the
devil had his toes turned up when he
got down that place, The entrance
is now only short distance, and the
driver told us to just wink at the gate
keeper and he would only charge us
20 cents, but we pretty near hurt our
eyes at it and then it cost us SO cents.
This gate-keeper is also the owner
and at the beginning of the season
was offered $4,000 for the lease Of
the falls and grounds surrounding.
But he decided he was making little
too much OFF them during one year to
let it go. I wouldn't wonder but he
makes as much as six or seven thous-
and dollars during one year. There
is a kodak gallery and eating house,
besides taking pictures Nor pretty
near everyone who comes. Where are

old gentleman got safely past the
place where the band was stationed,
the big base drummer caught up the

We would have gone to Helen Hunt
Jackson's grave had we had time, but
it was getting late and there were SC
many things to think of that we had
to let it go. There are two ways OF
reaching this grave, one by the trail
that she used to go up the mountain
to reach her fayorite spot where she
used to do her writing of books, and
the other by climbing the steps of
Seven Falls and then walking over
about half mile. There is the story
that the white burro that we had our
pictures taken on is the same burro
that Helen Hunt Jackson used to
climb the mountains with, and he is
claimed to be AZ years old. He no
doubt is very near that, for the poor
old fellow is blind, deaf and dumb.

SOME IMPORTANT
BUSINESS CHANGES
First of January Will Witness
Several Business Changes.

Drug Store and Hardware Store
Will Commence Business.

Quite a number of important
business changes are scheduled to
take place the first of January,

According to the mandate of the

doing business in Newark are pre-
pairing to shut up shop and go
out of business.
1t has been talked on the streets

hanson would erect a building
and embark in the hotel business.
When asked about the matter
Wednesday evening by a Journal
representative Mr.. Williamson
stated that he would probably be-
gin work on a building for the
new hotel within a few days. The
site selected is the lots now owned
by Fred d. Whiting where the
Newark Mercantile Company s.
building was burned few months
ago.
The Newark Drug Company is
a new concern that will begin bus
mess the first of the year. 4ney
will occupy the lower part of the
Hotel Magness. The stock and
fixtures have already been order
ed. The business will be in charge
