The old Clear Creek house is being
thoroughly renovated inside and will be
painted on the outside in attractive col
ors. 1t is one of the landmarks and has
been the scene of many pleasantries.
With the improved conditions it should
be rented for hotel purposes without
any waiting. The frame buildings on
the same block are also being neatly
painted, and as fast as the work is done
on one it is quickly rented and occupied
A small amount invested in paint and
applied to building makes an entire
change and causes the property to be
taken up without much delay.

Seek Lower Tourist Rates.

One hundred commercial organizations
have been invited to participate in the
tourist rate convention called by Cover
nor John F. Shafroth to meet in the
state capitol November Is, and when
these representatives assemble it will be
the greatest meeting of commercial men
ever held in Denver.
1t is believed that this meeting will
pave the way to thorough understand
ing between the business men of Colora-
do on the subject Of concerted action on
their part for greater Colorado, and
acquaint them with the fact that the
Denver Chamber OF Commerce is exert
ing itself to help build up every section
OF Colorado, on the theory that what
helps Colorado helps Denver
Enthusiasm over the convention is
growing throughout the state. II the
full number of delegates are named by
the towns, cities, counties and CONNER
cial organizations, the total number of
delegates will be in the neighborhood Of
600.
While the object of the convention is
to secure a S25 round trip tourist rate
from Chicago and similar points in the
Western Passenger Association, many
prominent men in the state have ex-
pressed the opinion that if the railroads
do not consent to a general rate at this
figure they will be glad to install such
a rate two or three times a week during
the tourist season. Hewever, this mat
ter will be thrashed out thoroughly at
the convention, and special committee
will be appointed to appear before the
Western Passenger Association with
facts and figures calculated to convince
the railroad men that it will be to their
interests to make special inducements
for people to journey to Colorado. 1t is
believed, further, that when the railroads
become convinced that the entire state
of Colorado is behind the movement they
will grant the request.
With a population of 100000 people
in Colorado this state would be highly
profitable field for the railroads, and the
friends of the tourist rate movement say
that this figure can be reached in few
years if the railroads will take action
that will stimulate tourist travel to Col
orado. Therefore, it was with the idea
in view of obtaining the hearty co-opera-
tion OF the railroads that the convention
was called.

to Clear Creek points seems unfounded.
The rate Of sl5O per ton has been the

to the purchasers and the only change
is the dividing of the rate SO as to make
it applicable from Denver along with the
rate from the coal fields. Interviews
with the agent here and the coal dealers
show that the rate to Idaho Springs is
Just the same that it has been for years.
