bright and warm thro the day, yet there

bright and warm thro the day, yet there
is always nice breeze from the noun
tains. The crops up here do not amount
TO much as a rule. As they must de-
pend on the rain for moisture instead of
irrigation. And they only get crop
about one year in three. This year has
been an exception plenty OF rain and
the oats and hay etc. look very good.
From here went to New Windsor
where my son Guy W. Uinamon lives on
a ranch Of 100 acres. Here they irrigate
and the crops are the finest ever saw.
I gathered few heads of wheat out of
his field which measured six inches in
length aud are'welI filled. 1t will make
go bushels per acre. The Alfalfa is fine
The potato and beet crops look very
promising. Windsor is thrifty little
town on the Colorado Southern r. r. Of
about 1900 inhabitants is about mid
way between FIT. collins and Greedy.
In the year 1905 there was grown in
this vicinity 1000 tons OF sugar beets.
And 1900 car loads of potatoes. They
feed many sheep and cattle for the east
ern market. The land is very rich and
fertile and taking it all around is a very
fine country. While there I vent to Ft
Collins and visited few hours with
DR.. b. A. Goodipg who likes the loca-
tion there fine and is working up a fine
practice.
The reservoirs for irrigating purposes
look rather large to we eastern people
some covering $500 acres Of land.
There is plenty more / could say OF this
beautiful country but foar my letter
will be too lengthy. Yours Truly.

Golden, Colo. July 80, '06.
Ed. of the NEws:-
I have been visiting in Colo for about
two months, and am ready now to start
back to Mo-, but want to give you a
brief description Of my visit. I first
went to visit my daughter Mrs j J Pike
who on account OF i'll health, is now re-
siding in camp, On the top of Lookout
Mountain. This is about 20 or 25 miles
west of Denver and $500 IT, higher. Az
Denver is just mile high, this makes
US over 1900 1t high. To reach the
camp, we take car at Denver for
Golden.
Then we take stage fer Mt. Lookout
This stage meets the 9;30-2:30- :3O
cars. And brings quite number Gf
tourists and pleasure seekers to the re-
sort every day. There is q hotel here
where one can get good ranch din
ner. They also have summer boarders
and there are some eleven or twelve
tents on the grounds beside some cot
tages, which are rented to those desir-
ing few days of camp life. The view
here is very pretty The scenery is beau
tiful, mountains on every side as far as
the eyes can reach.
The ranges nearest us are covered
with pine trees. The camp is located
right in grove OF beautiful large pint
trees. There is spring near the camp
And the water needs no ice as it is colo
as can be. Beyond these nearer ranges
about 35 miles distant one can see, ''Th
Snowy Range" which is co, srered will
snow the year around. There are owe
300 varieties of wild flowers which grow
: here. Some Of which are very pretty in
deed.
The weather here is very cold. Th
days are quite pleasant up to oclocl
when it begins to get very chilly and b,
bed time we are lowering over the stow,
and sleep under several heavy blankets
with hot water bags at our feet mos

VISITED CULEBRA CUT.
president Roosevelt lnspects the Most
Famous Portion of the Panama
Canal.

Panama. Roosevelt, who
stopped at the Tivoli hotel
Thursday night, started at o'clock
Friday morning with Mrs. Roosevelt
and the other members of his party to
make an examination of the Culebra
cut. The weather was overcast, threat
ening rain. At s: 80 the presidential
train arrived at Pedro Miguel, where
some steam shovels were at work. The
president had his train stopped for the
purpose of making personal exami-
nation. At this point in the cut the
peculiar soil conditions have resulted
in frequent landslides and this fact
was brought to the presidents atten-
tion.
President Roosevelt descended from
his train and climbed up on one of the
steam shovels, taking a seat alongside
Engineer Gray, whom he subjected to
searching fire of questions regarding
the work. During his conversation
Engineer Gray took the opportunity,
on behalf of himself and the other en-
gineers, to declare that, unlike the
railroad engineers, they were not paid
for overtime. The president promised
w iOOh iiIO liblo uIdIttI I16 std Gu Oh
the steam shovel about 20 minutes.
BY this time it was raining hard.
President Roosevelt told Chief En-
gineer Stevens that he wanted to see
all the works in connection with the
excavation, even to the temporary lay
ing of tracks. With this in view he
boarded work train near Pedro
Miguel and went on to the next point
where steam shovels were at work
Here there was no danger of land
slides.
The president spent some time in
the deepest portion of the cut, where
last Sunday % tons of explosives were
used to throw down $4,000 cubic yards
of material.
The rain was now coming down in
torrents, and the water poured in rivu-
let's down the funnel-shaped sides of
the famous cut. Several charges of
dynamite were exploded in order that
the president might see the effect, af-
ter which he went back to his own
train.
