A PRETTY SUBURBAN TRACT

"a 1boA oSoS4SokAN 4n<aS4
1t is doubtful if any considerable
number of our people fully realize the
attractiveness of some of Glenwood $
suburban home tracts. We are so busy
with the things that Immediately con
cern us that we are prone to becom,
forgetful of the surroundings and OBJ
livious to the environments which are
enjoyed by some of our neighbors.
For instance, how many of our citi.
zens, when they meet Wash Allen on
the streets or listen to the gong of his
wagonette as it moves through our
streets gathering up customers for the
West Glenwood baths, have any inteli-
gent conception of how Mr.. Allen has
transformed that property he purchls-
ed of Bob Ware few years ago into a
very beauty spot.
Unless you have been in the habi.
of visiting this place you cannot realize
what a lot of work and money Mr..
Allen has expended vn this property
and how both work and money have
counted in making the property one
of Glenwood IS beauty spots.
Speaking frankly and personally
the writer had not visited this nearby
property for several years. We re-
membered it in the somewhat shabby
condition in which Bob Ware left ii
when he got the mining fever few
years ago and went up to Alaska. We
were therefore scarcely prepared fol
found on recent visit to the Yves:
Glenwood baths.
The fourteen room residence was
found in 'apple pie' order, every
room as spic and span as though just
prepared for guests who were expected
to arrive in a few hours. The dining
room and kitchen are in the basement
and open out upon big cement porch
convenient to the vegetable cellar and
the large refrigerator where is kept tn,
rich milk and cream which is supplied
by the five Jersey cows which are KEEP,
on the place. The two other stories OF
the house are well arranged, the frs.
| floor opening out on a beautiful lawn
well set with flowers of all kinds.
The property comprises % acres, Il
considerable portion of which is set t.
alfalfa, supplying all the hay necessary
for the stock kept ON the place. Their
are $50 fruit trees which were at tn:
time of the visit mentioned and still
are loaded down with peaches, pears
apples, plums and cherries, the majority
of the trees being apples of the best
winter varieties. There is also al
abundance of small fruits and potatoes
and vegetables are grown to perfection
But the principal use of this property
is that for which it was by nature best
designed. Underneath the surface
there is an immense flow of hot, min
eral water and this is utilized to suppl,
10 bath pools which are well patronizeG
by those suffering from various disor
ders, being especially recommended fol
rheumatism and various forms of ski
disease. Although the property is
within easy walking distance, Mr.. Aller
operates conveyance, taking the Gus
toners to his baths and returning then
later to their homes. Several trips are
made each day by this vehicle, the rid,
adding greatly to the pleasure of thu
bath.
Mr.. Allen has his own private water
system, the supply coming from Oasis
creek and springs and being the best Of
mountain water, while the entire place
is made light by electricity from tn.
plant of the Glenwood Light and Wa
ter company.
This West Glenwood property is on
of Glenwood's s most delightful country
tracts and if you want to treat your
self to real subtuban surroundings
make the place visit occasionally
You will be well satisfied
