Denver-Denver and all Colorado
will benefit by the new summer tour
list rates announced in Chicago re-
Gently to the Pacific coast, as under
the rates stopovers are good at any
point. The round-trip rate announced
is $50 from Chicago; $72 from the
Missouri river and S64 from Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The
rates become effective May Is and are
in effect until Oct. 81 There is no
doubt but these rates will prove of
immense benefit to Colorado" said w.
X. Cundiff, assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Union Pacific. '"The
fact that stopovers are allowed will
give the tourists opportunity of COM
ing through Colorado, visiting the
Rocky Mountain National park, the
Denver section and the Colorado
Springs district and they will have
plenty of time, too. The rates are for
stopovers either way, so the tourists
who go by the Yellowstone or Glacier
park lines to the coast can come back
through Colorado, so, to use slang
phrase, we get them coming and 60
