A WONDERFUL VALLEY.

Yesterday we were given an auto
mobile ride up the valley as far as
1rimble Springs and Mr.. Buchanans
fruit farm.
While this trip may be common
place experience to most of Durango's S
residents, forgive us If we enthuse
over IL little.
Without eXaggeration we believe
that there are no places in Colorado or
tho West more fertile and more beau,
tiful than this garden spot of the La
Platas.
From the scenic point of view the
contrast of rugged towering mountains
with their majestic pines and fir trees
with a hundred different shades Of
green perennials turning into yellow,
brown and red autumn leaves, and the
beautiful farm and meadow lands with
the Las Animas river circling through
the valley, produces most majestic
and inspiring view. What could you
offer to beat it?
From commercial standpoint the
trip was or eye-opener. We saw the
results of many rich grain harvests
lat horses. sheep and cattle, hundreds
of apple trees with their boughs still
bent to the earth with the weight OF
fruit. AT this time of the year when
frosts and SHOWS have long since end.
ed the harvest in most every other
section of the West, we had the pleas.
ure of picking strawberries and other
fruit at Mr.. Buchanan's farm and of
viewing beautiful flower beds in bloom
by the roadside.
Every visitor and new conner to Du-
range should be driven up this valley
The trip is most convincing proof OF
Durango's many resources.

the Maypole in the Strand, giving them
instructions at what rate to carry men
10 several parts of town, where all day
they may be had. Other hackney coach
men, seeing this way, focked to the
