WONDER PICTURES
"Trip Through Beautiful Clear
Creek Canon Shows Most
Wonderful Scenic Spots in All
America; Let's Tell theWorld.

Cne of b N st interesting
entertainments for the people of
idaho Springs for some time was
the picture exhibit Tuesday after
noon by j. B. Kent, the moving
picture man who is IN the city and
visited here several times before.
The pictures shown at the opera
house were for the benefit of those
attending the Pioneers picnic, and
but few were aware that they we're
to see beautiful views of Clear
Greek county. AS we have stated
before, many who lived here for
years and years fail to realize the
beauty spots around Idaho Springs
and surrounding country, but Mr..
Kent who is always looking for
the most wonderful sights for his
moving pictures, readily saw this
was an ideal spot for his line of
work. The pictures, when shown
on the screen, presented new
light to those who saw, and made
them realize more clearly the re-
ma .'kabe scenery OF this county.
Views were shown efFEookdut
mountain picturing the Hair Pin
Loop, the wafer falls in our own
city, the Colorado and Southern
double header train rs it pulls up
the mountain west Of here, tour
lists alighting from the train at
this station, Il birds eye view of
Idaho Springs, which was taken
from the tunnel below the city.
Hot Springs hotel, the Glacier
near Alice, Chicago creek. and
numerous other points of interest
in Clear Greek coupty
They are wonderful views and
il given the proper advertising,
will put Idaha Springs in the
minds of the people who have
never heard of the place, and make
them anxious to come.
There is no comparison to be
made between the beauties of this
and other mountain regions in
Colorado No other region has a
glacier so accesibie-only II miles
away. and one can ride within
half mile Of this wonder. Why,
Boulder will give $500 for a pic
ture Of the glacier in that county.
But its two days climb to the
spot. Then the rains, SHOWS, mist
ETC., have always prevented the
making of good picture. These
obstacles are not prevalent here.
