search for an easy crossing of the
great range.
If you stand in the streets of Denver
and look toward the setting sun you
will see why no railroad can easily go
in direct line westward from Colo
RADIOS capital. The great range of
mountains to the westward of the
city raises rampart-like toward the
sky, the SUBMITS of it's lofty peaks be
ing clothed the year around with
wreaths of perpetual snow. 1t had
long been the dream of Colorado men
to run a railroad toward the west over
the top of this great divide and tap
the almost Iimitless resources of the
mighty empire that lies beyond this
towering wall. This would link the
capitals of Colorado and Utah with
bands of steel, and cut down the rum
ming time of trains across the CONT
nent so the trip from the Atlantic to
the Pacific will be shortened by near
ly day.
The company that is now the Bur-
lington road once tried to run line
across this great divide, but the sci
ence of civil engineering was not far
enough advanced in those days to en-
able it to be done successfully. More
than $1,O0O00O was sunk in tunnels,

1855 he was brought to Texas as
slave, says the Houston Post. When
he was set free he bought small
farm and there was one pecan tree
on it. He planted a few more trees,
but they were small or common pc.
cans.
While young and strong he raised
cotton and corn and made a living,
but no money to save. To-day he is
no longer able to work the field, but
devotes his attention to pecan trees.
One tree bears the largest pecans
grown in America. They can be found
at the department of agriculture,
Washington, where he sent a few.
Last year he sold $54 worth from
this one tree. He gave his friends
some and planted more. The young
trees he is selling rapidly at 81 each
and yesterday said he had none left.

that is thrust out into space. There is
something awe-inspiring about this
elevated place that you cannot ex-
plain. You stand there and try to i'm
agine what the scene is like when the
dawn rises out of the abyss to the
eastward, or when the sapphire west
is kindled with the crimson glow of
one of Colorado's hectic sunsets.
Huge banks of perpetual snow that
defy the sun lie along the track to the
establishment of those who have come
from regions where the touch of
spring vanquishes the pearly precipi-
tation that has fallen during the win

earth where railroads run, there is no
sight more startlingly picturesque
and strikingly novel than these ma

The territory which it opens for set

CONTINENTAL DIVIDE
Atlantic to Pacific Run Will Be Shortened Nearly Day When
New Line Is Completed.

Did you ever hear of the mountain
railroads of Colorado? 1t will amaze
you as much as a tale from a story
book. One of these lines runs almost
due west from Denver. 1t climbs the
great Continental Divide, which rises
more than a mile high, mile west
of the city, and this climbing of the
Continental Divide is a feat which
has astonished civil engineers in ev-

If you will look on the map of the
State of Colorado you will see a vast
empire without a mile of railway
stretching between this city and Salt
Lake, Utah. The Union Pacific rail
road runs north from Denver to Chey-
enne, Wyo., and crosses the level
plains of Ogden, Utah, turning toward
the south to enter the City of the
Saints. The Denver & Rio Grande
railway runs south to Colorado
Springs and Pueblo and swings to-
ward the west, passing through the
narrow defiles of the Royal Gorge and
following the Arkansas river until it
turns northward again to reach Salt
Lake City. The Union Pacific railroad
runs 627 miles in its passage over the
sage brush plains between Denver and
Salt Lake City. The Rio Grande runs
TAI miles in swinging with many a
loon and curve down toward fho
southern part of the state, in it's
