Arvada, Colo, July IS, 1910.
| FRIEND SUMMERILL;
Having some spare time | send you an
account OF the general business affairs OF
| Denver. The tourist season is on in full
blast. It is a novel sight to see go many
people, from all parts of the east and
middle west, bound for the coast. Fri
day evening l saw seven trains at the
| depot making the crew change for Frisco
and Los Angeles. They put the noun
tain climber engines on here.
When you arrive at Denver you are up
against a proposition good and hard as a
stone wall. 1t baffled engineers OF skill
to find the easiest way over the conti-
mental divide. Ii you could have been
in the position where | have been in on
my tour you would have been astonlshed
to see the marvellous engineering skill
which had to be used to overcome the
great mountain barriers. l have taken
in all lines, riding OH the engines where
extra engineering skill and care had to
be displayed.
There Wasea time when the Denver q
Rio Grande used to detour all their coast
-Iine trains from the main line at Malta
Junction into Leadville, 81 miles and
over two miles high. 1t used to take
three engines to do it. They had to cut
it out as it took too much time, and time
is what counts here on coast line travel.
The Western Pacific Tr%anscontinental
line will be open for travel any day now
from Ogden, Utah. 1t connects with the
Rio Grande SYSTEM to San Francisco, and
parallels the Southern Pacific, known as
the Gould line. The magnitude and cost
of western railroad building is great.
l have had great courtesy shown me
by the heads of all departments, SO that
Il could get a thorough knowledge of the
difficult construction work.
Los Angeles is drawing her water sup
ply from Owens Lake, in the Sierras, 247
miles away, and it is the anne with the
electric system. There is 10 expense to
run the system after the construction
work is done.
1t is grand to see the electric displays
is all western cities. Denver, Frisco and
Los Angeles are marvellous after dark in
their great display of electric lights.
Denver is growing at a rapid rate. 1t
covers a great deal OF territory. The new
~postofice building will be far ahead of
the average government buildings. The
new postoffice building at Los Angeles is
about finished. 1t is fine, but the IL at
San Francisco is without a peer in all the
world. l inspected it throughout and it
is a wonder.
1t certainly would be instructive for
you to take in this trip and to cover all
Southern California to Mexico and return
by different routes as l have. What |
have seen has not been out ofcar windows
entirely, but right on the ground. As |
do not travel at night | see all that there
is to be seen by daylight.
l will not be satisfied until l take in the
Great Northwest-British Columbia, Van
Couver, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Ore
gon, and also Quebec, Montreal and the
Thousand Islands. / have Travelled about
enough for the year and will make that
trip later OH.
We have a fine boy. Lidie and Roscoe
are doing well. Charles has one child
from Jersey, one from Philadelphia and
the last from Denver.
Yours as ever,
MAURICE L. SPARKS.

PICKUPs.
The hoodoo has lifted.
They went there at a fast speed and
stayed fast.
Only two Woodstown men reached
second base and two more managed to
get to first.
Dutton pitched classy ball, % men
facing him.
1t was one, two, three with Woodstown
in all but one inning.
The lnvincible Bush was ineffective.
As the boys are playing fast ball they
want to keep it up. The Reliance, of
Biidgeton, are scheduled for Saturday.
Glassboro comes on August 9th.
The only hit of the game was made by
the first man up OH the first ball pitched.
Biddle is certainly making good on
second.

About a ton of powder storedi in an old
building on Carney Point took fire last
Saturday afternoon about 8 o'clock from
some unknown cause. The powder and
building were consumed. The early
arrival of workmen with the hose kept
the fire from spreading. The loss was
smalLbecause it was powder that had not
passed inspection as to color and shape of
grains.
The milk supply continues short in
this region. THE wet weather made bet
ter pasture but the flies tormented the
COWS so badly in the day time and the
mosquitoes at night they have not pro-
duced as much milk as formerly even
after eating high priced feed. Because
COWS cost from $40 to 500 each and feed
$40 a ton some who formerly sold milk
have quit and raise calves which are
quite profitable and less bother. The
increase in the price of milk has made a
greater demand for condensed milk.
Two suits were begun against the West
Jersey and Seashore Railroad Company in

day. Frederick and Theresa Welsh
