take hold of anything TO advance the
interests OF Denver and the state of |
Colorado. Public spirited citizens
made It possible to erect a Y. M. C. A. |
building here at cost of $500 600, |
an auditorium seating about 10000 |
to 10000 people at cost Of $780, |
900, the ampitheater where the stock |
and horse shows are held at cost of |
$500 900.
All of the churches are we'll repre- |
sented here, amongst them l would |
especially mention the Central Chris
tan church. The Central Christian |
church erected near the business por-
ton OF the city is church erected at
cost OF $3.50 900. and 1t is one of
the show places of Denver.
Many beautiful parks are located
in different parts of the city and made
accessible to all of the residents by the
street car lines.
The theaters are very handsomely
finished and are a credit to city
twice the size of Denver. There are
many places of amusement here.
Hotels are of the very best, among
which are the Brown Palace, Albany
and the Adams. The last named is
me of the most beautiful little family
hotels that | have ever seen and is
we'll filled at all times. For the pres
ent the Adams is my home. And we
are royalty treated there.
want TO tell you about the Ian
coin centennial celebration here. Pre-
ceding the services that were held in
the Auditorium in the afternoon the
parade formed, led by the Denver Post
band consisting of 6s pieces Of boys
and girls connected with the Denver
Post, which is one of the most pro-
yressive and up to date papers in the
west.
All OF the papers reflect the condi- |
ions that exist here and the surround
ing country. The Rocky Mountain
News and the Denver Times, which |
are two Of the leading morning and
avening papers. have a wide circula-
ton.
The celebration Of the Lincoln CEN
tennial concluded with memorial serv
Ices at the Auditorium. II is estimat-
ID there were at least ~ .00'0 people |
TO do honors to our mar
tyred president. The exercises were =
both impressive and beautiful and
were conducted both by the Blues and !
the Grays.
Located as Denver Is. midway be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
we get all of the good theaters and
lectures that are iourneying from
coast to coast. l had the pleasure Sun
day of hearing DR.. Grenfell, the Ash
ermen's friend of Labrador. and the
original OF DR.. Luke, of Labrador,
which a great many of our Paducah
citizens heard in a lecture given by
Mrs. Haskell at the First Christian
church some time ago. DR.. GTenfell
is a pleasant speaker and shows great
earnestness in his work. He has been
engaged in this work for over 20
years and still seems to be a young
man.
r. Denver is in a building boom and
from the present indications II looks
like there will be at least $40, 0O0,-
600 invested here in homes and Office
buildings In 1909. Several new and
very fine hotels will be erected here
this year and one can scarcely under
stand the need of so many hotels in
Denver. l spoke of this the other
day to a prominent citizen of Denver
and told him that il looked TO me
like they had gone hotel crazy here,
but he replied, saying. "Why. my dear
sir. with all of our hotels and room
ing houses, we have to turn away peo-
pie every night from our hotels now,
what will II be in the summer time
when we have at least 65, 900 tour
lists here during the summer months?''
Saturday and Saturday night we
had a perfect blizzard here and Sum
day the thermometer was below zero.
but when the sun came out Monday
Il was like spring day and one
could scarcely realize that we had just
passed through such an extreme biz
.ard as we have. This climate is
and while the changes are
sudden, yet we do not feel these
changes on account of the pure, dry
Give all my inquiring friends my

Colorado climate. BE-

Hoping to see many OF my Ken
