WAS THE BIGGEST TOURIST
SEASON on RECORD

According to the figures compiled in
Denver. the tourist season which clos
ed on Thursday, was the biggest in
the history Of Colorado. No colonists
rates are now to be had in the east
to western points and tickets sold to
this section during the summer and
deposited with the Joint agencies at
Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo
uncalled for up to Thursday night
have been forfeited.
f. Between 1000 and 5000 tickets de-
posted with the joint agency at the
Union depot In Denver have not been
called for by the owners, which means
that that number OF people have come
to the state this season on excursion
tickets who will remain permanently.
That does not include the permanent
acquisitions who came on one way
tickets.
g. X. Hooper. general passenger
agent Of the Denver Rio Grande, es-
Inmates that the total number OF COL
onists that passed through Denver
during the past two months on COL
onists tickets At $4,000 and will go
ahead OF last years record. There
were forty carloads OF tourists hand
led in Denver on Thursday and it is
estimated there viii be 125 cars from
Chicago and the east handled by the
Denver & Rio Grande during the re-
mainder Of the week.
The regular tourist business for the
season has also broken all records and
will go far in excess Of the number OF
people handled by the railroads last
year. There were 6S.502 tickets de-
posted with the joint agencies in Colo
