This is a good chance to get a new suit cheap few short years made a garden out of a desert. Far as the eye can see here on each side of the track green fields of sugar beets and alfalfa are seen with here and there a field of wheat that from the appearance of the straw has not had a rain since it was out. From Ordwayon into Pueblo there is here and there a straggling field of alfalfa along the banks of the river. We arrived at Pueblo at 1:20 m. "and had a good view the "Pittsburg" of the Rockies.

As one of the train men expressed it a hog would get lest in the place. It seems that from the roughness of the town around the Station it was laid with ut any reference to streets or alleys. The different blocks are designated as Block or 2 etc. It i very rough some houses being directly above one another. We have iaid out here an hour and ten minutes.

The travel is so heavy the railroads are having their hands full handling the crowds. About twenty minutes out of Pueblo we got our first glimpse of the mountains which appear on first sight as great clouds in the distant horizon. It is hard to convince a tender foot that they are as far away as they are. A short distance out of Colo-orado Springs we can sea the top of Pike's Peak towering above its fellows. Now Pikes Peak doesn't hold the charms for us it did a few years ago.

Our bones ache yet when we aee it. We have been there on the burro trail. We, have just arrived at Colo rado Springs and many are the expressions of delight as the pret-ty landscapes comes into view. All about the depot there are pretty lawns and gravel walks and drives. This contrasts greatly with the grayness of the scenery iiniiii p.
