Idaho Springs good road delegates HAPPY.
Travelling to Denver to wake up people there {
Idaho Springs good roads dele gates chatty. {
They knew they had the best and telt they'd
be treated fair. {
Idaho Springs at the Chamber Commerce meeting
Told the people they must hustle or they'd fail c
Glorious big Denver gave our little boys greeting G
But they never said sword about the Santa Fe c
Trail
Idaho Springs spoke about their boulevard.
Told the Denver people they want the tourist trade
They woud have hustle-and start in working hard
Or BE- Of the III 10 when the selection is made. :
Glorious big Denver --only smiled and seemed con-
tented,
How could any suxgest-her argument would fail
Who would dare to pick road Unless Denver consented
But they said word about the Santa Fe
Trail.
Idaho Springs formed a combination.
Eight Thirty Counties strong with Denver at the head:
On reaching Pueblo Ny what sensation
Rubes and Hayseeds owned the town-Denver sneaked:
to bed.
Idaho Springs hung up map in hotel lobby
Showing northern Auto Road-over Hill and Dale
Hayseeds Pueblo had the tearing hobby
Tore map down to make for the Santa Fe
Trail
In his address of welcome the Mayor Pueblo
Said hed have chastise the Denver boys bit.
He said you been hoggng thngs-but we are
going t0lay you low
And the little Denyer Delegation nearly took fit.
Thirty Eight Counties with Denver contender
just began to realize that tthey doomed to fail
They wanted roads al through the state with Den
vsrair4 v center.
But the Rubens couldn't nothing but Santa Fe
Trail.
Eight and Thirty Counties knew thatthey were right
ahead
Sent delegates to Denver and had m-t1ng there
They formed Greater High Way Club and to
the Rubens gently said
You Join if you wish and we will treat you far
They voted all Roads proposed should be perfected
So the IDAHO SPRINGS WAY should be the first

How could the greatest Scenic Route in this World be
neglected
But help the Rubes 50 they use the Santa fe
