Before leaving the city yesterday
for his home in Denver, l.. b. Meek,
brother OF T. II. Meek. expressed
himself in very favorable manner
of the country, and was particularly
impressed with the climate. which
he says is unequalled. Speaking
along the lines OF what appealed TO
him as neglected opportunity. he
said
II cannot understand why Pres.
colt does not have every summer at
least 1000 visitors. The city is ideal
in its makeup. while the environ
ment is fascinating, which with the
splendid climate, should make de
sirablc combination for those in
search Of rest and recreation To en-
brace each year. During the winter
have been on the coast. but after
a two weeks sojourn in this city, so
beautifully nestled in the mountains,
my health has been benefited more
than in country that has boosted
of It's unexcelled climate and its
health giving qualities. II is with
regret ! leave at this time, but bust
ness matters call me To Denver. In
August, however, | shall return 10

Mr.. Meek is large manufacturer
Of trunks and other articles in that
line in Denver, and is also promin-
emily known throughout the middle
western states as conservationisi
Of the natural resources Of the eoun-
try. He figured eonspicuously in the
first great land reclamation project
in Colorado. when the waters Of the
Platte were harnessed and diverted
to a point over twenty-five miles
distant. which reclaimed several
Thousand acres Of arid lands, and
from which was created n lake that
covers many hundreds 81 acres and
that now enjoys the distinction OF
