Mr.. HARDY WRITES ABOUT
HIS TRIP IN THE SOUTH

How easily We are Influenced by
people, Friday night | fully intended
to go to Galveston, Tex, for week
or so. Knowing that Frank P. Smith
had Just returned from there l called
him up to ask about hotels and inter
esting features. He said the hotels
were bum and that there were mighty
few features of any interest and ad-
vised cutting Galveston out He said,
however. that New Orleans was a
charming place and. full OF interest
He followed this up by sending me
his New Orleans guide book and that
10 how | happen to be In New Orleans
today instead OF Galveston. Tex
! had never been in this part of the
south before and ! was ripe for just
snch suggestion as Mr.. Smith made.
. New = 0slesss Is $50 miles from;
Canon City and nearly the whole dist
ance is in Texas. Texas is a mighty
big state and nothing impresses you
with that fact SO much as the days of
tioNSt aSpaiINs ~ 81 AAoAA
one end TO the other.
Northwestern Texas is very much
like southeastern Colorado-a vast
prairie The price OF land has gone
up greatly during the past three years
and the stock ranges are being sold
OF for farms. Cotton is the principle
crop and cotton culture is being eS-
tended north and west. man from
southeastern Texas told me the reason
the farmers from his section were go-
ing to western Texas to grow cotton
is because IL is so dry out there the
weeds won't grow so there is less la
Dor about raising n CROP &.
Almost the only difference between
eastern Colorado and the first 400
miles in Texas. as it appears from the
car window. is perhaps three inches
in the height OF the prairie grass.
OF course this vast area has great
resources and Is not a bad section for
those who like It, but speaking person
aliy and with no desire to influence
others in the matter. am inclined to
think / would not accept rs a gift the
whole OF northern and western Texas
il had to bind myself to live within
its borders the rest OF my life.
Fort Wosth is a big. hustling coun-
Try town full of stock men and cow
punchers. II is the seat OF vast pack
ing and stock interests and attracts
people interested In stock never
saw so many people on the streets of
any town. not even of Cripple Creek,
as saw at Fort Worth Monday night.
Business OF certain classes ought to
be good. The who,e town looks about
like that section OF Pueblo between
the railroad and the river. Its best
hotel Is about like the Southern in
Pueblo.
Dallas, only thirty miles away. is
a. different IA Denver is from Pueblo.
II is a swell little city, with plenty Of
shade. There are lot OF lne modern
going up. Dallas has an ele-
CANT hotel. as good rs the Brown
Palace. and they are building aaother
Of about the same character.
From Dallas east, the country looks
green and prosperous and the ride is
more interesting. While one might
not consider Texas much ~ place of

YOU VIII "dhe up bue neAI AioI HinS
in Louisiana an hour OF two out of
New Orleans. This is the great sugar
country and in every direction you
see the sugar plantations. At this
time Of year the sugar cane fields look
much like corn fields when the corn
is or 10 inches high. Every big plan
tation has its own sugar plant and
these look 10 be about as big in eX-
tent as the Diamond Fire Brick plant.
Around each plant is a little town of
negro huts where the laborers live.

New Orleans is a city full OF inter-
est to the tourist. No other big city
OF America has so much that is foreign
and strange. The city has a popula-
ton of 100000, being more than twice
as big as Denver. OF, that number
prohH y 100. .0a9 are negroea One
quarter of the town is given over to
the French and Spanish, another to
the Italians. the finest residence street
is occupied principally by Jews, and
about every other nation is repre-
seuted.
New Orleans, with louisiana, has
been at different times French and
Spanish territory and much remains
to remind one of the old foreign rule.
The old cathedral, government houses.
old hotels. etc, are more interesting
10 visit than to read about
There are many monuments TO the
memory of the participants in many
battles, but perhaps the most unique
is the one the automobile rubber
neck-trip' man points out as having
been erected TO the memory OF those
who arose in 1874 and redeemed the
state from carpet-bag rule"
| asked a fellow what the altitude
OF New Orleans was and he said.
about four feet below" and it looks
it. All the streets are several feet
lower than the levees. and the Miss
issippi looks like it was about to over
flow at any time. Riding along near
the bank in a street car you can hard
ly see the boats on the river because
they are so high up.
To nearly everybody the most inter
esting thing in New Orleans is that
part of the city devoted 10 cemeteries.
These cemeteries are different from
anything In the world. The section
OF the city given over to cemeteries
looks about as big as Canon City.
Everything is above ground. The re-
mains are put away in vaults, This
is said to be done because the ground
Is full of water These vaults cost
all the way from few hundred dol
lars to few thousand. In the finer
cemeteries they are magnificent struc-
lures. mostly built OF marble in rows
like houses along narrow streets,
Reynolds house. In the cheaper
quarter the vaults are built of brick,
In some OF these burials are made for
term of years. There is vault un-
derneath. When the time runs out
the body is taken out Of the upper
vault, the conn broken up and burned
and the bones piled into the lower
vault. Then the upper vault can be
used again.
