A Sign Of Prosperity

In both the Pueblo high schools the freshman
words the number of young people of high school age
who have come to Pueblo in the past year greater
than the number of that age who have left the city.
This may be taken proof that the population of Pueblo
has not declined a result of the flood.
The registration cards indicate that the newcomers
in the high schools have principally from .he four
states of Kansas Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Some
of the heads of the families to which these young people
belong doubtless occupied in reconstruction work
Pueblo but persons engaged in such temporary employ
ment do usually bring their families to the place
where they at work.
There is good reason to believe that a large part
of the population in Pueblo is composed of home
makers and investors who have been attracted here by
the ordinary conditions and circumstances aud whose
purpose of change of residence was not changed by
the flood And it is probable that much of this added
population result of the good roads campaign
in Colorado
The people for the most part desirable
addition to the city and the state. They adding
merely to the population of the city, but also 10 its
wealth and its productive power. The older residents
of Pueblo wish them prosperity in their new home and
trust that they are than the advance guard of
larger numbers that likely to come within the next
few years.

OIL OPERATOR HAS
HIGHWAY BUNGALOW
Walter K. Campbell Has Mo-
tor Driven House to Use
for Summer Touring.

TULSA, Okla, July IA trip to
California is being made from this
city in one Of the most unique va
cation boats" imaginable. This
gasoline bungalow" is mounted on
o-and-one-half-ton truck chassis
equipped with a motor from a five
ton truck.
The "voyagers." who are now en-
froute TO California in their pull
man" home, are Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter X. Campbell, their daughter Dor
I othy, fourteen, and their son, James.
/ sixteen. This family plans 10 spend
I two or three montas "vacauoning. +"
/ all OF which virtually will be spent
on the road.
The plan of building a house on
wheels in which TO spend his vaca-
ton was conceived by Mr.. Camp
\ bell, who is a prominent oil opera
tor OF Tulsa. Mr.. Campbell consid-
ers that the vacation for himself
and family will be very econom-
zeal one. There will be no railroad
fares and no 'profteering" prices
for meals, accompanied by liberal
/ tips 10 walters
While the first cost is a consid-
cradle item. the trip itself shculd be
made at a fraction of the expense of
the same trip by railroad" Mr..
Campbell stated. But we intend
to use this car from year to year.
for it is built for service as well as
for looks. There may be a few re-
pairs from time to time. but even
I they will cost less than railroad trav-
Ell and its accompanying expense.
Motor Bungalow Compact.
Campbell's highway bungalow"
is sixteen feet long and six feet four
inches high. There are quite a few
windows, which extend entirely
around the car. causing it to resem-
bic a street car.
Campbell's car" is very compact.
In addition to the drivers seat.
there is another seat directly behind
the drivers seat. on which the occu-
pants may ride when they wish to
view the scenery in front Behind
this seat is a cOmmOdious fuIl-size
berth, with a six-inch mattress that
folds into a long comfortable seat
when not used for sleeping purposes
Above this berth is an upper berth,
which fastens TO the ceiling when not
in use. A third bed is provided by
fastening a speCIally-built set of
springs to the opposite side OF the
interior.
Across from the lower berth is a
table that swings downward and
rests against the right wall, but
which when raised provides a large
dining table. The lower berth is
used for seats at this table.
Underneath the lower berth are
a dozen drawers that extend entirely
10 the wall. These resemble "A fill

large clothes closet Of sufficient size
to hold the ordinary clothing of four
persons. Adjoining this clothes clos
