Newspapers Grow Prophetic and Re-
hash Old Stories Of What is to
Happen to Great Resort
WHICH MAKES OFFICIALS SMILE

Recently there have been rumors
afloat as to the probable future. OF Glen
wood Springs as popular health and
pleasure resort and it seems that Ger
tain enterprising newspaper reporters
know much more about the plans of the
company owning the springs and hotel
which have from the beginning made
Glenwood famous than 40 the stock
holders ana officers who are here, in
charge of this magnificent property.
First there is revived that old thread
bare story to the effect that the Den
yer and Rio Grande Railroad company
was to purchase the entire Glenwood
property, baths, light and water plant,
hotel and all and operate all these in
dustries as sort of sideine or bypro-
duct to their railroad system This
story was printed in Grand Junction
paper and it is claimed that it came
from railroad man who knew moro
about what was to happen than he was
in the habit of telling. Next we know
the story is taken up and printed by
Denver paper with slight embelfish-
ments.
The small amount of truth in the
story is contained in the first paragraph
to the effect that the stock holders of
| tho GIanyrnn1 lot
the owners of the Hotel Colorado, will
probably purchase the furnishings of
the house and operate it themselves,
under a manager. 1t is not probable
that that will make any change, even
in the manager of the hotel as Mana
ger Lucas is favorite with the Hot
Springs company and will doubtless be
retained in charge of the house.
So far as the Gould interests throw
ing their influence in favor of Glenwood
they have always done that and through
the friendship of George Gould for Mr..
Lyle and the other stockholders of the
Glenwood companies we have in the
past and doubtless will in the future
receive many favors at the hands of
these interests.
When spoken to in regard to the re-
ports as to great changes at Glenwool
Manager Lucas who has been prominent
~ identified with the Hotel Colorado
since its building and opening, said,
So far as / know there is not liable
to be any change unless the Hotel Colo
RADIO company, which owns the hotel
furniture and operates the Colorado
under a lease. should go out of business
or be absorbed by the Glenwood Hot
Springs company which will operate
the hotel along with its other business.
There has been some talk of this and it
may be done after >this season.
When Manager Lyle of the Glenwood
Hot Springs company was seen he said,
&c You know rumors come in very handy
IN the makeup of a newspaper but the
only change of Importance that is likely
to take place so far as | know is the
probable requirement by the Hot
Springs company of the hotel furniture
and the operation of the house direct,
by manager. So far as the public is
concerned there will probably be moth
ing to indicate that any change what
ever has taken place. To be sure, the
Rio Grande and the other Gould inter
ests are very friendly to Glenwood and
to our companies and 1 hope their
friendship will continue in the future
as in the past.''
The article in the Denver papers
which has brought out much comment
and numerous inquiries is asfollows:
".Glenwood Springs is to be made one
of the most beautiful summer resorts
in America. The English stockholders
have arranged to take over the hotel
this fall from the Hotel Colorado com
pany, the lessees, and will operate all
of the properties under one manage
ment. The Gould railroads will throw
their influence toward building up the
resort, and it may be made division
point for the Denver 4 Rio Gr1nde.
"The new management expects to re-
model and enlarge the hotel and will
