SUPKRB CLIMATE.
In Colorado all the con
ditions o health arc met.
There is a sufficient alti
tude to cause lung and
chest development; there is
the dry exhilarating mount
ain air, with an almost abso
lute absence of malaria;
there is the tonic effect of a
bracing climate, without
ils rigors; an atmosphere
filled with ozone; cool nights
in summer, a bright, sunny
sky almost every day in
the year, conducive of
cheerfulness and bringing
a new pleasure every morn
ing, constantly stimulating
both mind and body.
To enable persons to
reach these favored locali
ties without unnecessary
expenditure of time or
money, the Union Pacific
has put in effect very low
rates- and splendid train
service, three trains leav
ing Missouri River daily
for Denver, one of which is
"The Colorado Special,"
the finest and fastest train
in the west. Accommoda
tions arc provided for all
classes of passengers on
these trains, the equip
ment including free reclin
ing chair cars, dining cars,
buffet, smoking cars, draw
ing room sleepers and day
coaches, etc.
