have been At Beulah. Pueblo'o
summer resort. more than q week
and have explored her canons. bsau-
tiful groves and green mountains.
Beulah ID still young. and her beauty
has not yet been marred by the hand
Of man. believe she has afuturs.
Beulah Is twenty-five miles south
Of Pueblo and can be reached by auto
in an hour and half at cost of one
and half dollars. The town itself
is small. but there are quite q num-
ber Of summer residences scattered
up and down the valley. This canon
Is about mile wide at It's widest
point. but much less at It's narrowest
point. II Is surrounded by noun
tains and mountain peaks covered
with a carpet Of green grass, pines
and evergreens. Three mountain
streams unite here and form the st.
Charles river. which empties Into
the Arkansas river. Beulah il high.

done II will be . great attraction to
this part Of the state. I think Pu-

not booming this place mora thaa it

About ton miles south Of Bsulah
there 10 very large mountain called
"Oid Bsldy." At the foot Of this
mountain 10 the town Of Rye. About
fifteen miles farther south there 10
range Of mountains called the
Greenhorn mountains. the summit Of
which Ii covered with snow. that
can be ssen all the year round.
I have been wondering how this
range came to be called the 0rsoa.
horn mountains and b.lieve I have
the conundrum solved. Some cav
enty years ago. when I Was Q small
boy. there was . custom among the
Irish here To call new conner from
the old sod. - 9reenhorn." II he
asked any questions about this coun.
try they would all laugh at him and
say. "Oh. you srs . greenhorn."
These new comers were often wiser.
better and more polite than thoss
Who made sport Of them. Ftaaily.
I believe. one Of them became dis
gusted and decided to 90 farther
west. He crossed the MississiDol
river. creased Missouri and kanaaa
and came 70 Colorado and Joined Q
tribe Of lndisns. D
when these red skins asked him
his name he would aay. Away back
In Illinois they called me . green.

Orcsnhorn. Finally he died. and
~ he had been . very nice man and
very useful IN the tribe these In.
dians decided TO cali this mountain
range the 0reenhorn Mountains Ia
honor Of his memory.
I have stated that only two moun.
tains near Dsulsh have been named.
