Edyth T.ozier Weather red, in des cribing a recent trip over the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, says in "The Exposition:" v '"At last the goal of the ambition of years has been readied mar vn Ions, wonderful, grand and inspiring Roval Gorge is on either hand. The only disappointing thing is you only have one pair of eyes, while the train durts in and out of the tremendous chasm. If any who have never seen it are wondering how it looks just go and see. Thousands have tried to des cribe it, yet every attempt falls short of giving the subject justice." If you contemplate a tup Hiast, write W. O.
