just remember now. The d. & R. q.
kindly allowed us to buy tickets at
the regular rate, so I'm at liberty to
say it's one hell o. road to have to
ride over.
By the time we got to Canon City
we was all pretty well organized az
had a reception committee all ready
to greet Mrs. Allen, the president o.
the association, but l guess she was
onto us, cause she went over on the
earlier train.
Next mornin' when No lande,
Glenwood Springs we was escorted to
the Hotel Colorado by the entire police
force.

Course, we got special rates or most
o. us would o. had to carry the ban

what was good at the cave an the
plunge an bout everthin 'cept the

! had bath the Saturday night be-
fore, SO l didn't have to go in, but
some o. them fellers spent heap o.
time in the cave an the plunge. in
fact, Windy Williamson said he was
gettin to be a reg lar cave man.
We had some good meetin's an
turned out some business. 1t was one
o. the most profitable meetin's I've
ever attended. We cut out long-wind-
ed papers an didn't let Teller talk
less he had somethin' to say. OF
course, if Roy Ray'd been there we
coulfn t have done that.
There was dancin' that evenin' an
some of the fcllers really could shake
foot.
Saturday afternoon we was guests
o. the Glenwood chamber of commerce
and was taken in autos to the ShO-
shone dam and showed where the juice
comes from fer our lights an power
here in Eaton. A big dam stops it
as it comes down the river an carries
it through a tunnel six miles long an
it drops down the mountain side in
big pipe and goes through house
what has a lot o. machinery in it
what squeezes the water out and then
goes over the wires to Denver to run
the street cars when they amt on a
strike an on up to Eaton where we
use it to heat the metal for our type
settin machinery.

they got through tellin' me.
Then they took us to Carbonate,
where Mr.. Sweet an Gene Grubb has
pretty fair success raisin spuds. The
gang / was with knowed all bout
raisin' spuds, SO we filled up on but
termilk an went back to town. They
say they raise lots o. ,buttermilk at
Carbonate Anyway, it's a pretty
little city.
The evenin' the Hotel Colorado give
a banquet to the editors an a number
o. the common herd what live round
there.
Congressman Ed Taylor told us
bout raisin' grandchildren down in
Washington an that he was startin
somethin' believed he called dy-
nasty.
There was some other efellers what
talked an some o. the editors said
few words when John Greenwalt, what
was toastmaster, would give 'em
shot.
