The tourist or recreation industry Of
the west represents one of the biggest
activities. 1t is a business. 1t is
more-it is major industry. 1t must
be organized along modern lines to
produce the recreation commodity. The
machinery is all placed for Glenwood.
The structures for manufacturing rec
reation are all existing. But the or
ganization of the whole layout on a
comprehensive productive basis is lack
ing.
Glenwood Springs has every chance
to become one of the most famous
recreation centers Of the west. Study
by competent designers, organization
of the tourist industry of the city and
surrounding country as big produc-
ing unit, and a forward looking driving
and directing force will turn the
trick.
The important point to realize is
that the tourist industry is out of its
infancy. 1t is business in which
production and marketing are just as
important as in any business. This
point once attained there will be little
chance but that Glenwood, always
alive and progressive, will begin to
realize on the resource in mouatnin
type of recreation that is now lying
unproductive because of lack of or
ganization on major scale.

new PICNIC GROUND
near THIS CITY

If Glenwood is to become the recrea-
tional center which we believe it
should become, it behooves us to de-
velop to the very best advantage all
suitable camping sites and picnic
grounds within reasonable distance
and easy access, SO that not only our
own people but also our visitors may
enjoy to the fullest possible degree
the charm of the great outdoors so
near to us and yet SO little known.
even to our own residents.

Glenwood Springs was pioneer In
the tourist game. The natural var-
roundings plus the curative mineral
waters made the city naural place
for tourists to come to. But Glenwood
along with practically every other
place in the west has not kept step
with recreation developments.
This does not mean that the city is
not progressive. There are other
places much farther behind in recrea-
tion development as it is needed to
day than Glenwood But it does mean
this:
Ten or twenty years or more ago
when the pioneer tourist resorts of the
west were started and climbed into
II national position as such the recrea-
ton industry was very minor sort
of an activity. 1t was limited first to
a few localities Second there was a
much smaller group of people that we
could call tourists in the country.
Today there are hundred places
bidding for tourist traffic where ten
years since there was one or perhaps
two. Furthermore there has been an
increase in the number of tourists and

The boy is doing very well at this
time, although suffering considerable
pain. A brother, Alfred, arrived from
Kansas City Wednesday evening and
will return with Lee as soon as the
latter is able to travel.
The young man says he was over
come by the wanderlust and left his
home in Kansas City early in June,
bound for Los Angeles, in the hopes
that he might find work in that city.
He made the trip to the coast without
much difficulty, but he was disap-

and finally decided to return home,

WATCH OUT FOR
FOREST fires
''Watch out for smoke!n

watch out for smoke!'
This is the word that has gone forth
from the Denver headquarters of the
United States forestry bureau, to all
lookouts, rangers, guards, supervisors
and private individuals living in or
travelling through the national forests
of Colorado.
For this is one of the dryest years
in the history of the department.
Over 100000 acres of government
forest land within the Colorado boun-
daries, and in fifteen national forests,
drouth of almost unprecedented
proportions has spread.
The SHOWS of last winter have melt'
ed and gone, in the form of water
which has flowed down into the
gulches and valleys, or seeped into the
grounds. The thick carpet of pine and
spruce needles, ordinarily damp until
late in the fall, are dry as the proverb-
ial tinder. There are no snow mounds
under the trees, as there were last sum-
mer. Even on the uttermost heights,
such as the crest of the Sangre de
Cristo range, there is 80 little snoW
that tourists have hard work even to
see it from below.
nate so far this summer, considering
spread to more than ten acres in ex-

Only thirty-nine fires have been re-
ported, thus far, and most of them
have been in the southern part of the
state. A very few of the thirty-ni
spread to more tina nten acres in ex.
Colorado has been extremely fortu-
tent. They were extinguished before
they gained much headway, due to the
vigilance of lookouts, rangers, guards
and ranchers.
That there has been an element of
good luck in this immunity is admit
ted by forestry officials Eternal Wig.
ilange means much, of course; but a
momentary relaxing of that vigilance
might mean a conflagrat;on it would
take days to extinguish, and the loss
Of millions and millions of dollars

vigilance will not always protect for.
est from dangerous fire.
Conditions in New Mexico and Ari-
zona are cited as an example. Ac-
cording to an official report received
the excessive dryness of the season, to
from the forestry bureau at Albu-
querque, N. M, n total of sos fires
had occurred in the two states up to
July 81. OF this number 3s7 were
put out before they had spread to
more than fourth of an acre in ex-
tent, and "only eighty-eight became

amount to hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
The Coconino national forest, in
northern Arizona, has already had 143
fires. All but six were controlled be-
fore they had reached ten acres in
size, the report says. The Datill ma
toinal forest of New Mexico has had

At Denver last Monday the Demo

last months, it will be more pronounced
In the next two months, unless rain
falls pretty generally. The grass in
the forests is so dry it crackles to the
tread and touch. Dry lightning, that
relentless and wholly uncomfortable
foe of the forest ranger, is getting in
its work. By far the greater number
oil fires, of course, start through the
agency of careless humanity; but dry
L lightning strikes where it may be least
expected, and cannot be subjected to
the rigid camping laws with which
the mountain tourist and camper are
hedged about
Campers are being warned every
where to be exceedingly careful at this
particular time. Campfires should be
thoroughly extinguished before being
abandoned. The mere emptying of a
coffee pot over the Goals is inadequate.
The careless throwing away of match
may start a conflagration impossible
to stop until appalling damage has
been done. Every person visiting the
national forests is warned, on penalty
of severe punishment, to be constantly
on the alert with reference to careless
handling of fire in any form.
The danger will not be over until
the winter SHOWS set in, usually early
in October.
Supervisor Richey of the Holy Cross
forest says several incipient fires have
been extinguished on his forest this
season, some Of them just in time to
prevent very serious results.
Mr.. Richey says the people who
travel in the forest do mot mean to be
careless and, Al a rule, they would not
under any circumstances willingly do
anything that would endanger the for
eat, but they cannot realize that there

the town and the people so well that
he had purchased a handsome home

He was to come back in few weeks

and nothing further had been heard

friend here that he and his wife
agreed to disagree after some six
years of married life and that they
are separated. Since n fellow who

- Offer of playground site at. the
extremity of Lincoln. street comprising
some ten acres or more has been made
the town council by w. B. Moore and
the council has the matter under ad-
visement. 1t is understood that Mr.
Moore has offered the site provided
the town will agree to pay the cost
of upkeep and maintenance and II the
town should fail to maintain it after
six years then the property is to re-
vert back to the owner. 1t was fur
ther proposed in conitection with the
matter to raise sonie $4,000 among
citizens of the. town.. this money in the
event Ii is raised to be used in build
ing a swimming pool, a dancing pavil-
ion and other park equipment. The
town council has not yet accepted the
proposition, it was stated yesterday
Some of the councilmenf object to ac-
ceptance of theEproposition on the
ground that the site is too far. re-
moved from the main section of town
and would not be available to young
children. Since the discussion of q
public playground has arisen two
other sites have been suggested, One
of these is in the rear of the Yorkville
Graded school and the other is known
as the Spencer woods below the coun-
ty Jail. w. Mason Mcconnell, a mem
ber Of council said yesterday that ten
acres Of this property could be pur-
chased for $500 and nc thought 1t
would be a much more desirable prop
erty than the Lincoln street extension.
In the event the council should accept
the Moore offer the understanding is
that the property would be in charge
of the town council and would be
available not only .as playground but
as a public meeting place. .
