Colorado Springs Telegraph: V.
z. Reed of the Reed Investment
Company has returned TO Colorado
Springs after spending two years in
France and other foreign countries.
He will spend two or three months
here looking after business matters
and then will return to France.
Colorado Springs looks pretty
good to me- said Mr.. Reed, "and l
note that the town has made some
wonderful improvements in the way
of public buildings since ] was here
two years ago"
In 1901 Mr.. and Mrs. Reed and
their daughter went to Europe. Az
ter travelling through Germany, Aus
tria, Hungary and Italy, they re-
ceived word, at Buda Pest. in Hun
gary, of the Illness of their little
son, Werner, in Colorado Springs.
They fastened to Nice, France,
where their son was brought to them
by DR.. G. B. Webb of Colorado
Springs. They travelled in several
countries, trying to find a climate
best suited to the lads health, and
finally took chateau near Monte,
about 24O miles from Paris, where
Mrs. Reed and the children are now
staying.
In January, 1902, son was born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Reed, at their resi-
dence near Monte, and much red
tape was necessary to secure the
II. - ,ff In, fnr
the young man. 1t was necessary to
enlist the services of the American
consul, prove that the child's par
ents and all four of his grandpar-
ents were born in the United States.
and that the parents were unavoid
fore the certificates of citizenship
could be secured. The child, Joseph
Werner Reed, is registered in Nice,
France, in the American consulate
records at Washington, ID. c., and
in Colorado Springs as being a resi-
dent of this city and the United
States. He is probably the only le-
gal resident Of Colorado Springs who
has never been in the city.
II. p. Davie of Colorado Springs |
and George S. Newman of Aspen vis-
tied Mr.. Reed in France during the |
early part of 1904. They made a |
notable automobile trip through the |
eastern part of Algeria, Tunis and
down the oases of Biskra and Sidi-
'okba in the great Sahara desert, The |
trip was made in January and Feb
ruary, at the most favorable time of |
the year, and they had many ex
periences with heavy rains that dis
commoded them, but withal the trip
was a jolly one. The roads of sand |
and Jagged rocks proved destructive |
to tires. and IL was a common re-
mark that We're a long ways from
TETON street"
Mr.. Reed says his chief source of
American news in France were the |
Colorado Springs Telegraph and Ga
zette, which he received all the time |
he was there. The French newspa- |
pers do not compare to those in this !
country. Four pages is the average |
size and eight is the limit. Mr.. |
Reed showed a Sunday edition of |
the Telegraph to the editor of the |
leading publication in Paris, who in |
quired the size of the city in which
told him only about $4,000, the Par
isian asked If the American people |
were crazy.
Since his brief visit to Colorado
Springs about two years ago, Mr..
Reed has visited Spain, France, Bel
gium, Holland, Germany, Austria,
Italy. Africa, Egypt, Tunisi Algeria
and Morocco.
