 The present season. according to the predictions of local real estate deal CTS and railroad managers, will be one of the best in the history of the state for the bringing in of new settlers. i Conservative estimates made by 1 Denver men place the influx q, from [ = coming here as a result of advertis- ing campaigns to be carried on, ar which are now in force. while the fig ures from some other sources an nounce that at least 25.000 new pco- 1 pie .yill come to Colorado this sum- mer and settle here to become perma- nont and valuable acquisitions to the present population.
 In addition to the estimates made by the railroads and land agents.

Many more than this number will come to look over fthe ground and figure on the oppor- tunities presented. but proportion of them will go back to their homes. and it may be another year before they can settle their affairs and move here
 The Rock Island is doing yeoman service in the settlement of the east ern part of the state. regarded as the dry farming district. and new fami- lies are now coming in there at the rate of twenty day. These settlers do not come without means. either They represent prosperous and sturdy class of farmers.
 The Denver & Rio Grande is bring ing it's homeseekers and cOlenists to the San Luis valley district. and also to the great fruit-raising country in the Grand valley. and no higher class of investors and settlers are coming into the state than these.
