of the satisfactory accommodation of
a constantly increasing tourist busi

ly serve with favor and tend to in
crease such tourist business from
Louisiana and Southern Texas points:
also from points in Central Texas
along the line of the II .V T C. road
In addition t»> the foregoing, an
nouncement is made that double dai

With tlie inauguration of this third
train it C understood the schedules
of tiie through Colorado trains will lie
materially quickened or shortened,
since the local train referred to will
make it possible to cut out a number
of stops enroute which have lieen
necessary to the through trains dur

Many people put aside all thought of an outing in

this greatest ot American playgrounds as one oi those
impossible things beyond their means. lime
when a visit to the top of the Continent was a
great luxury, as high in price as in altitude, but not
so today.
Nt u can spend the summer or .1 part of the Summer
iii < idorado and li\e as reasonably as you do home, and
the quick service and low tourist and excursion rates
afforded via Rock Island lines bring the Rocki** with
