RY WALTER M. RREL.


 to look upon the glories of the Rocky Mountains in general and the magniGi- cent view unfolded from the top of Pike's Peak, will, according to ]. c. Hlestand, proprietor of the Summit House which stands on the top of the Sentinel Of the Rockies" not only observe a large sign that will call their attention to Hot Springs, Ark, but at Mir. Heistands hotel at Iron Springs, Manitou, and also at the Summit House, will be handed Hot Springs, Ark, literature.
 By the same token, too. if you were to visit the Business Mems League, on the large table you will see stack of descriptive literature concerning the aforementioned places, and all of this is likely to lead one to suppose that an agreement has been reached whereby this eXempliflcation of reel procity is to be carried on by Mr. HHestand, which is eminently correct. The Colorado gentleman has been in this city a little over two weeks. He is registered at the Como and is bath. ing at the palatial Fordyce. 1t Is true that he halls from one of the great tourist centers in the country. but when one suffers with rheumatism one knows where to come to for re. lief, and it was "rheumatics" that in- duced him to descend from the pic. turesque environments of the Summit House, which is situated 14,147 feet above the sea level, and come to the noted healing waters of the local hot springs. But. having come and par taken of the baths, Mir Hiestand is returning to Colorado much improved. At least that Is what he told me in the lobby of the Como last evening
 MT. Hiestand became much inter | ested in this city. It was his initial visit to Hot Springs Thirty-five years ago he went to Colorado, having become proficient in the study of mineralogy in Pennsylvania, to make collection of minerals. Ten wears later the railroad to the top of Pike's Peak was built and when the first tourists arrived they found the min. eral collector awaiting them, giving them warm welcome in the role of boniface of the summit, and in the years that have intervened he has met countless thousands from all parts of the world and every state in the Union. Mir. Hiestand visited the Business Mems League and outlined to Secretary George k. Bedding a plan for the exchange of resort literature. Briefly, it is this:
 The Business Mems League will re- l ceiye and distribute literature during the winter season pertaining to Mani tOu and Pike's Peak, while during the summer MT Hiestand will see that there is distribution of Hot Springs literature in Manitou and at the Sum init House. Also, there is a sign to be placed on the top of Pike's Peak which will call the attention of visi- tors to this resort. Until this agree ment was made, that space was con. sidered immune for advertising pur. poses.
 There are from 20,O00 to 25.0O0 Der sons make the trip to the top of
 
 MT. Hiestand. "I am a member of the Commercial Club of Manitou. Col, and one of the directors of that or. ganizatlon, which has membership of over 300. l feel certain that the agreement l have made with Mir. Beld- ing will meet with their appreciation. If 1t did not, as an individual l will distribute the Hot Springs lteramreI at my hotel at Iron Springs, which Il own, as well as the Summit House, which is on the top of Pike's Peak.
 q have been here for IS days and have been much benefited by tNsl baths. I return to Colorado convinced of the efficiency of the hot waters here and shall certainly recommend to my friends that they visit this resort. The Fordyce bath house Is one of the wonders of the city. It is magnificent throughout and a great credit to Hot Springs. I am forced to 1 return tomorrow, because we will | open our season earlier than usual, | owing to travel to and from the Cali | fOnia exposition. I hope to meet many Hot Springs people on the top of Pike's Peak this summer At night | one can see the illumination of 12l Colorado towns During the clear | days one can gaze on 250 miles of mountain peaks. The view of the sun | rising and setting cannot be sur passed"
 Mir, Hiestand brought with him | considerable literature, which has been eagerly sought after at the | Como hotel. He claims to have inau- | gurated the picture postcard busi- ness, an idea, he stated, that was sug- gested by partner he had over 20 years ago.
 Remember this interview. gentle | reader, and make Mr Hiestand's ac- | quaintance if you go to the top of Pike's Peak. You'll find him a most l genial host and he won't be backward in coming forward with Hot Springs literature, either.
