Mr.. James H. Causey,

Denver, Colo.
Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of
February %, which is Just received.
The best answer ! can give to your
questions regarding the effect of pro
hibition upon tourist travel to Colora.
do, and the number Of visitors during
stock show week, is the past years
record H.
The 1916 stock show, the first I'm.
der prohibition, attracted more visit
ors than in any previous years, and
1917 was still better.
The tourist trave! to Colorado in
1916 was the largest in the history of
the state, and the outlook for 1917 is
most promising. Tourists never did
come to Colorado to get booze They
can get that nearer home. "-
l believe you will find that where q
Dtel bar is doing a large volume of
business. the bulk Of that bar business
is from the local residents of the city
in which the hotel is located and not
from the guests CT the hotel
While some people will claim that
the hotel business has been ruined by
prohibition. such is not the case; it
is merely their saloon business which
has suffered. Furthermore, if bar is
necessary to the success of any hotel
anywhere then thai hotel is one too
many fer the community to support.

ter, but this proved Just the contrary
as we had more tourists come to Den
yer in 1916 than was ever known be
fore and we heard no serious com,
plants from these tourists on account
of the absence of saloons. For a num-
Der of years the most prosperous
mountain resort place in Colorado,

pie than they ever did.
do not think prohibition has hurt
the business of the Shirley hotel but
that it has been a benefit to it, ]
am noticing the state trade is coming
to the Shirley oftener and l believe a
good many people in place of spending
their surplus money over the bars of
Trinidad, Pueblo, Salida, Leadville, anG
numerous other places in Colorado are
now saving their earnings and using
some of this surplus in coming to Den
yer more often.
We did operate bar in the Shirley

dry and made good profit from it but
we would not want to 90 back to the
old conditions under any circum-
