trail, but is transported in a palace car to the top of the Peak, amid the most wonderful and beautiful scenery on the continent. The line terminates at Denver, a magnificently built city of nearly a hundred and fifty thousand people. It is probable that no American city has so many features of unique beauty as Denver. Its splendid public buildings and its broad avenues, lined with beau- tiful residences, cozily located at the foot of the snow-capped mountains of the Rocky range, render it unlike any other city of its size in the world. The ride from Pueblo to Denver along the foot of the mountains is one never to be missed. The snow-covered peaks, the many combinations of sun and cloud and rain and snow, the marvelous atmosphere, all combine to surprise and charm the beholder.
The Rock Island Route furnishes unsurpassed facilities for the emigrant or home-seeker, the sportsman or the tourist. It taps the heart of the new Territory of Oklahoma and southern Kansas, a region teeming with large erops, with fertile fields and salubrious climate. In its extended ramifications, no other road reaches so many im- portant and thriving cities. It must be apparent to the reader that the line is admirably situated, and that in many respects it occupies a strategic position superior to that of other trans-Mississippi and Missouri railroads. These advantages have been utilized in the past, as they will be in the future, in developing the localities through which the various branches extend, and in building up the permanent prosperity of the property whose history is so closely interwoven with the settle- ment, development and prosperity of the west. To this purely local traffic must be added the con- tributions of its several termini, all large cities and prominent trade centres. With the growth and steady development of the manufacturing and other industries of Chicago, Peoria, Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Atchison, Leav- en worth, Topeka, Pueblo and Denver, the Rock Island inst materially make corresponding strides. In brief, its commanding geographical position, coupled with its direct eastern alliance for through business, must render this one of the most remun- erative in the west.

TRANSPORTATION.
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway,
OPULARLY known as the Sante Fe Route. The initial lines of this great system were first built from Atchison to Topeka in 1869, and for many years the former city was the eastern terminus of the road. The man- agement of the Santa Fe, with great energy, pushed out its lines in every direction into the young and growing state of Kansas, in the ma- jority of instances preceding settlement and civil- ization. This road was the first to penetrate across the southern part of Colorado, via Pueblo and Trinidad into New Mexico, until its lines en- tered the old adobe town of Santa Fe-whose citi- zens were half Spanish and half Mexican. As its course penetrated the wilderness, it sometimes fol- lowed the old Santa Fe trail, which had been made famons years before by trappers and also by the Government freighters. The marvelous growth and development of the state of Kansas is in a great measure due to the enterprise and public spirit of the managers of the Santa Fe system. Not only did they devote their energy to the up- building of the road, but at great expense they maintained emigration and colonial agents in the various countries of Europe, as well as in the east- ern, middle and southern states, thereby advertis- ing the state of Kansas as no other state has here- tofore been advertised. The Santa Fe owns and operates more miles of road in Kansas than any other line, with its vast system east and west, north and south lines reaching every important town in the state, and penetrating sixty-three
counties in Kansas. The magnitude of its busi- ness is immense.
The general offices of this road are at Topeka, with general branch offices at Chicago. The Santa Fe is an extensive system, extending by its own and leased lines from Chicago to Galveston on the Gulf, to Guaymas on the Gulf of California in Old Mexico, and to San Francisco on the Pacific- reaching also the important inland cities of Den- ver, Pueblo, Kansas City, St. Joseph, St. Louis and Peoria, as well as the leading towns in Texas. During the fall and winter season it has an cxten- sive passenger traffic to the Pacific Coast, as well as to the genial climes of Mexico and Texas. The management is enterprising in building up a large and increasing freight traffic, and it is recognized as one of the important trunk lines.

Other Roads.
MONG the other important lines through this part of the state is the St. Louis & San Francisco, having its eastern terminus at St. Louis. The Kansas City & Gulf Road has a large north and south traffic, and the same may be said of the Southern Kansas Road. Another road with a growing business is the St. Louis, Ft. Scott & Wichita. The various small lines of this section are valuable tributaries to the main trunk systems of southeastern Kansas.
