. TAyLOR'S VIEWS ON GRIZZLY CASE

An aggressive campaign for more

ters which occupied the attention of
the II ustees at the meeting Monday
night. A communication was read
from H. q. Overlook referring to the
advertising for the town which is to
be published this summer in Every
body's magazine, and suggesting that
a personal letter of invitation to visit
Glenwood Springs be sent to all per
sons on the bulletin of inquiries
which will be forwarded regularly to
the town from the magazine office.
In addition the writer suggested that
an advertising representative of the
town who would make a practice of
meeting all excursion trains and dis,
tributing literature among the tour
lists on these trains would be able to
do much boosting for future business
The city fathers took kindly to the
idea, and engaged Mr.. Overlook to
do the work outlined during the
months of May. June, July ana Au-
gust. He will write personal letter
to each inquirer, and will be on hand
when trainload of tourists comes to
town, for the purpose of placing liter
ature in the hands of these people, as
we'll as to answer ali questions that
the tourists may fire at him.
The bulletins from the magazine
people, consisting of the names of all
persons who inquire of the magazine S
resort advertising bureau concerning
this section of the west, will be posted
in some public place where all bust
.sess men Of the town who desire them
can take copies of these lists for their
own advertising purposes. The bu
reau managed by MI Overlook will
be strictly town affair and will dis
tribute only general town advertising
matter.

like to see the road built but did not
being done. Mr.. Kamm then saw
,'Mr. Ridgway who Informed him that
all improvements and construction
work on the narrow guage was being
made with view to broad -guaging
the track in the near future and when
