Trip «f National Editorial Association Through Tho Pike's
Peak Region Arroases Ike Descriptive Powers of
Our Absent Edhor in-Ckief, Who Praises High-
ly The Hospitality of Coloradoans.
Colorado Springi. June 28. |
Editor Times: Well here we are
back in Colorado Springs again, af-
ter a trip with the National Edi-
torial Association to Denver, Fort
Collins, Boulder, Greeley and other
points in the great Centennial State
We have been feted, wined, dined,
motored, toasted, talked at, re-'
ceived and entertained time with-
out number; in fact, have had so
much of this sort of life that we
are glad to be back under the shade
of our temporary "vine and fig
tree" again, with leisure to catch
our breath.
When we closed our last letter
the sessions of the National Edi-
torial Association were just over,;
and we were preparing to jump in-
to the sightseeing and entertain-
ment part of the program with
both feet. And jump we certainly
did, for it required all the ingen-
uity of the versatile Mr. Hender-
son, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce to crowd into two days
all the sightseeing on the cards..
The Crystal Park auto trip. Cave
of the Winds, Garden of the Gods,
residence section of Colorado
Springs, Palmer Park. Mushroom
Park, Ancient Cliff Dwellings, Mt.
Manitou and Colorado City, Ute
Pass and convict built highway to
Cascade, Broadmoor, Cheyenne
Canon and other places were all
points of intense interest, and some
of the more interesting I will take
up later and describe. For awhile
the weather threatened to make
.trouble,.but Colorado weather is
like Oklahoma weather in some re-
spects, one of which is^ that you^
must'nt count on rain until it comes j
Only once did it really come and)
that was on the afternoon of the i
beefsteak fry in South Cheyenne;
Canon. Even then We were loaded
into carriages, provided with
weatherproofs, and driven t0 the
shelter house at the foot of Seven
Falls at the head of the canon,
where the beefsteak, tender, juicy
and done to a turn, was _ served
with all the other accompainments
and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Our Pueblo trip was one of the
liveliest experiences of the entire
two weeks' outing. For a bunch
of live, wide awake boosters, com-
mend us to Pueblo. There, in the
center of the beautiful Arkansas
Valley, they have builded an in-
dustrial center which is the livest
town in Colorado—and that means
a good deal. After the men of the
party had been received, dined, ad-
dressed and made to feel as wel-
come as the flowers in May, the
entire bunch were invited into a
secret society known as the "In-
dustrious Order of Ants." The in-
itiatory ceremony was a scream
from start to finish, and the poor
devils selected by lot to receive the
work traveled a thorny, rough and
rugged road before they were es-
teemed worthy to be received into
• full fellowship in the "ant hill," I
and were given the full mysteries!
of the noble and illustrious order.
It appeared to us that several ex-
tra touches were given for the ben- J
efit of the editors, but we might |
have been mistaken. Meanwhile,!
the women were being entertained
at another place.
Sunday morning bright and ear-
ly a special train on the Short Line
carried the party to Cripple Creek, j
This trip is one of the scenic won-
ders of Colorado, and no visit to
the Rockies is complete without it.
Though the distance between Colo-
rado Springs and Cripple Creek is
only about 18 miles on an air line,
the road traverses over 57 miles
in getting there, mostly right along
tl^ very tops of the mountains.
Many millions were spent in build-
in^ the line, which presents engi-
neering obstacles which were al-
most insurmountable, while the
scenic grandness of the road is
simply magnificient. Expressions
of awe and astonishment were suc-
ceeded by even more profound ex-
pressions as the train slowly as-
cended the mountain heights and
the wonders of mountain and val-
ley and plain were unfolded to
view. One man remarked, "Well.
I'm soing t0 quit. Everything I
see is the most astonishing thing
in the world, and I no more than
get the words out of my mouth un-
til I see something so much more
remarkable that other and former
sights pale into insignificance." At
Cripple Cree the party were guests
of the local commercial club for
dinner, and spent two hours in a
gold mine, half a mile under the
surface of the earth, whose vast
workings, spread out under the
city like catacombs, were lighted
by electricity and served with an
underground tramway. The trip
through the mine was an education
in itself to most of the party, some
of whom had never been in one
before.
Returning to Colorado Springs
we had barely time to change trains
and pull out for Denver. It was
with extreme regret that the press
gang bid goodbye to the Pike's
Peak region, that splendid terri-
tory within whose borders are
crowded more scenic wonders than
any similar spot on the face of the
globe. The splendid hospitality of
the people, the trouble and pains
they took to entertain us and make
sure we all had a good time and
had everything we wanted, made
a lasting impression on the news-
paper men. And in return there-
for the Pike's Peak region will re-
ceive more advertising than it ev-
er had before—advertising that
money cannot buy, because it comes
from the heart and through the
news columns, where paid matter
n^ver should go. We've met many
different kinds of people in our
lifetime, but never a people who
h*d more real, genuine, open
hearted hospitality than those who
inhabit the Pike's Peak region.
At Denver two more days were
spent in receptions, dinners and
sightseeing. On arrival we were
met at the depot and conveyed in
au'os to the Albany' hotel which
was turned over to us for the oc-
casion. Monday morning we were
guests of the Denver Motor Club
in an 18-miie trip to their new club
house at Mt. Morrison, where a
most delightful luncheon was
served, and where we spent a pleas-
ant hour or so viewing the snow
capped mountain tops, and inspect-
ing the handsome new club house.
Returning to the city, we were
guests that night at a banquet at
the Albany hot^l, given by the
Denvfr Press Club, the members
themselves acting as waiters, while
the lieutenant-govemor of the
state acted as toastmaster. Next
morning a reception at the Cham-
ber of Commerce claimed our at-
tention, the wife of Gov. Ammons
and other state officials being in
the receiving line. We left there
to return to the Albany to a lunch-
eon tendered us by the supreme
court justices and other state of-
ficials, and that afternoon from 3
to 6 the Denver Press Club kept
open house at their club rooms in
the Kittridge building, where the
boys were !free t0 play billiards,
write letters, absorb drinks from
the buffet, or do anything else they
liked. Meanwhile the women of
the party were the guests of the
Denver Woman's Press club at the
home of M;j. .William N. Byers,
and later the men and women came
together at an art reception at the
home of Mrs. A. G. Brownlee.
Our entertainment in Denver
came to a close on Tuesday evening
where at the auditorium we lis-
tened to a concert by Gargulio's
band, and the city commissioners
cave a demonstration of the chang-
ing of the building from a coxy
theatre seatine 4.000 to a conven-
tion hall seating 15,000. This won-
derful transformation was made
while the oeople were in their
seats, the immense galleries, bal-
conies and walls of the interior
swinging backward and outward"]
bv means of heavy machinery in {
the basement, the heaw omentum,
arch and columns being slowly
drawn into the dome, u ware alio
the files, wings and othar (taft
<tuingt. When the change was
complete. no vestige of the former
theatre remained, but a magnifi-
cent convention hall, in which a
National Democratic convention
hai already been held, was pre*
scnted to the astonished faze of
the press representatives.
I have already made this letter
too lontr and haven't even started
cn our trip to the rich agricultural
section of Northern Colorado. I'll
try and do this in my next letter,
and your indulgence for ail this
stuff I have written.

Already passenger men are getting
ready to handle the largest crowds
In the history of Oklahoma. They say
that in recent years the traffic during
State Fair time has been steadily
growing and they are expecting to
handle anywhere from 250.000 to 500,-
000 people during the twelve days

of Oklahoma people will take advan-

well as the excursion rates, making
it possible for the greatest number
of Oklahoma's population of asarly
two million persons to attend what
premises to be the greatest Stat* Fair
