| Tomorrow morning at s o'clock
one of the largest crowds that ever
| left Grand Junction for Glenwood
Springs will be taken out of the un-
ion depot on a special train fur
nished by the Colorado Midland
railroad. and the indications are that
the crowd will be one of the jolliest
that ever left the city for the Colo
RADIO spa. The interest taken in the
excursion and the big series of events
to be pulled off in Glenwood Springs
tomorrow, in which scores of Grand
Junction people will take part, is ex-
ceedingly keen and the trip to Glen
wood Springs is the general theme
of conversation this afternoon.
Perhaps the greatest thing to oc-
cur in Glenwood Springs tomorrow
will be the big production to be CIV
en- at the Glenwood opera house in
the evening by an organization COM
posed of the very best musical and
histrionic talent of Grand Junction
and Palisade, and there is no ques-
ton but what the entertainment will
be one of the best home talent pro-
ductions ever given on the western
slope. Many prominent Grand juno
ton people will take part in the fun
making, notably among whom are
NJ. H. Loeffler, Sherman w. Moody,
e. A. Sherman, Leon ]. Chapman,
John NJ. Conley, II. A. Dennison,
Mrs. Myrtle Greer. Miss Clara o.
Haire, Miss Fannie Slocomb, Miss
Florence Brooks ana DOZENS of 9TH
er well known Grand Junction and
Palisade young people. Those who
have witnessed the rehearsals have
been most enthusiastic over the quail
ity of the minstrel, music and come
dy entertainment to be given. 1t
will be a dandy show.

Springs the Grand Junction and the
Glenwood Springs high school base

there will be no dull moments for
anybody. Swimming contests, drills
btstween Woodlnen teams, tugs of
war and various other amusements
will be provided. 1t is certain to
be a great day of fun.
This will be the opening excursion
to Glenwood Springs for the season
of 1908 and hundreds of people will
avail themselves of the low rate of
$3.50 for the round trip offered and
the many pleasures promised are
more than persuasive in their nature.
Reports received here today indi-
cate that large delegations of Pail
sade, Grand Valley, Rifle and New
Castle people will board the special
as 1t moves along. There will be
one or more bands on board the train
and the trip over will be a pleasure
in itself.
There is but little doubt that all
who can possibly get away will make
the trip and take in the big doings
tomorrow. Especially is the home
talent show with Grand Junction and
Palisade people in the star roles at
tracing the amusement lovers

depot just on time tomorrow morn
ing, and those who have not yet pur-
chased their tickets or who may not
