The Frontier Woman . . .
Tells of ‘ Winchanted' Week
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE. Hotnrmtkin* Editor
Ray and I returned from our
week’s western wonderland va
cation in Colorado. It was an en
chanted week, full to the hilt
with new experiences. I had nev
er been on a “packaged tour’’ be
fore. We won this one from the
Council Oak store. There were
87 winners and each of us could
take a guest.
All our expenses were paid by
Council Oak, including our train
tickets, hotel bills, $10 a day for
meals, bus tickets, reservations,
etc. Only money of our own spent
was for souvenirs and extra en
tertainment, such as shows and
dog races.
We drove to Sioux City where
we met other winners at the
Council Oak warehouse and also
met Council Oak officials. We had
our luggage tagged and were
given our train tickets, reserva
tions, and expense money for
meals.
One couple roamed the building
and the husband, leaning over
the water fountain to take a
drink, lost his train tickets and
reservations but was not aware
of it. Later, they were somewhat
on the frantic side but were re
lieved to find that someone had
picked up the ducats and turned
them in at Council Oak head
quarters.
In the reception room we eyed
each other rather like a group of
strange animals but soon started
to get acquainted with one an
other.
We were treated to a buffet
dinner in the evening at the cafe
teria in the Council Oak ware
house. I don’t think I can remem
ber too accurately just what we
were served but it was mighty
good.
Photographers took pictures of
many. Ray and I were among
those to be photographed for
Austin Schneider’s TV news show
that night.
Although we have been
watching Austin present the
news for three years now, Kay '
didn't recognize him in ail the
confusion. But I did. lie is i
more plump than he appears on
TV.
After dinner we were taken in
small groups through the huge
now Council Oak warehouse.
This is so large that it covers an
area in which you could put a
baseball diamond. We found the
fruit rooms most interesting.
These keep fruit at the proper
I temperatures. We found the ha
I nana room most fascinating. The
* bananas hang in great bunches
and are green. Other types of
! fruit and vegetables are handled
! ia these rooms. Merchandise of
other types is piled in the ware
house in alphabetical order and
is piled 20-feet high. It is handl
ed by little traveling “trains” and
small electric plevators which
hoist it into place. Everything is
modern and spic-and-span.
When the warehouse sightsee
ing was finished, we were ush
ered into a reception hall and
seated. Then, a few were intro
duced and some gags were pull
ed.
It was an all out effort to get
everyone loosened up to enjoy
themselves.
We were ushered into air-con
ditioned buses for the trip
through Iowa to Omaha. There
was a hub-bub of talk and chat
ter. .
Upon our arrival at Union
station, Union Pacific took our
pictures. We didn’t handle our
larger luggage and did not see
it again until it was put in our
hotel rooms in Colorado.
Since we intended this to be an
“eating” as well as seeing vaca
tion, we had cherry pie and cof
fee in the Union station, then
boarded our train for Colorado
Springs. Four special cars had
been added to “The City of Den
ver” train and our car was com
pletely occupied by Nebraskans.
Acquaintances ripened rapidly.
Ray had been on a train only
once before in his life. Both of
us enjoyed eating in the dining
car the next morning.
Dining car service—creamer,
sugar bowl, salt and pepper con
tainers—were all silver. The ta
ble cover was yellow and the salt
was dyed yellow to match. Fresh
carnations graced each table.
Our coffee was in silver pots,
each pot containing just two cup3.
All the waiters were colored, and
we had to write our orders on
the slip, instead of giving them
to the waiters. Although the din
ing car did some rocking, the
serving was deft.
Council Oak treated everyone
to gum, cigarettes, salted nuts
and such. Union Pacific passed
out balloons as souvenirs and
each lady received a small travel
kit.
When we arrived at Colorado
Springs, the Chamber of Com
merce met us, took some pictures,
pulled some stunts and otherwise
welcomed the large group. We
then checked in at the beautiful,
historically rich Antlers hotel.
This is normally a haven fur I
the wealthy, but, in our case, i
they had the filthy poor.
I would estimate our room cost,
$25 a night. It was extreme'v
plush. The walls were a lusn I
pink, furniture and bedspread
white. The rug, thick and thirsty
looking, was red. Our big picture
window framed Cheyenne moun
tain.
We ate a couple of meals in j
the swank terrace room with1
immense crystal chandeliers that
dated way back. The hotel is old
but beautifully kept and decorat-«
ed. I
Over the years some extreme
ly famous people have stayed
there and still do. Bill of fare
prices were frightening. Although
Council Oak paid for all our
meals, I couldn’t bear throwing
their money around quite so free
ly, and, after the first two meals,
we found a place where steaks
were super and could be had for
$2.
We went on the C’heyenne
mountain tour and were taken
in red Cadillac limousines
which are built like a station
wagon and accommodate six
or eight. They have clear
plastic tops.
Some of our party had never
been in mountains before and the
hairpin curves frightened them
even while they thrilled to the
beautiful views from every
curve. We all enjoyed the sum
mit and seeing the zoo and the
Will Rogers shrine on the way
down the mountain.
Next day wc went on the
Pikes Peak tour. We were taken
to the cog railway in buses, then
went up to the summit on the
cog railway. The incline is ter
rific and the elevation goes up so
fast that it gave many of us pains
in our chest. I found my breath
ing was “shallow.” When we got
out or me ran cars we were
lightheaded.
At the summit, we left the cog
railway and spread out over the
summit, into the coffee shops and
souvenir shops, took pictures and
otherwise enjoyed ourselves.
We were taken down in bus
cruisers and enjoyed every mile.
It was beautiful, thrilling, scary
and great. There was no snow on
Pike’s Peak.
That afternoon we boarded the
streamliner for Denver and
checked in there in time for din
ner. Our hotel in Denver was not
so swank as the one in Colorado
Springs, but I must confess that
Ray and Blanche felt more at
home in it. We went to a show,
“The King and I,” that night and
off to bed. When we came in to
go to bed, a member of our tour
was waiting for us. She had lost
her luggage. She wanted to know
if we had any extra in our room.
It developed that her last name
was Rose, which she had not
written plainly on the ticket,
and porters had put it in our
room.
Next morning we went on a
guided tour of Denver which took
up the entire morning. It was
very interesting. I liked best see
ing Mamie Dowd Eisenhower’s
home which is owned by her
mother. It is unpretentious and
quite old.
That afternoon, Ray and I
went on a Rocky mountain park
tour. We were gone all after
noon.
Among the most interesting
things we saw was Lariat trail
up Lookout gnountain where we
visited Buffalo Bill Cody’s grave
and the museum on the summit.
Red Rocks park also was thrilling
and different.
That night we went to the
greyhound dog races. We had
never seen dog races before. They
chase an electrical rabbit. Save
your breath—we didn’t bet!
Next morning we used mak
ing radio interviews and that
afternoon we went on another
mountain tour. This took 11s
through Clear Creek canyon to
the ghost town. Central City,
onee one of the richest, if not
the richest town, in the world.
Mon' gold was taken out of
this place than anywhere else on
earth.
Wt> went on tours of the fa
mous Tellar hotel, where we saw
furniture used in that era. a bed
i com were President Grant had
actually slept, the sitting room of
Baby Doe. who married' Tabor
(the silver king). Together they
spent millions and millions. Both
died poor, sick and alone. Baoy
Doc was found frozen to death
at the silver mine not many years
ago. They had made no provision
for the future and when silver
petered out and our country went
on the gold standard, their money
was gone.
After leaving Central City, we
went to Nederland pass through
Roosevelt national forest via the
Peak - to - Peak highway. Some
where along there we ran into a
snow storm and hail. Mountain
tops were beautiful with the
snow, the evergreens glistened
and dripped with melting snow
and the roadsides were littered
with hail and snow mixed.
We saw many majestic views of
the continental divide and came
back through Boulder canyon,
which is beautiful. We made a
short stop at Boulder Falls, came
through the city of Boulder and
saw the University of Colorado.
That afternoon we boarded
the train at Denver for Omaha.
We stayed at the Castle hotel
in Omaha.
We had a very lovely room at
the Castle and in midmorning
boarded air-conditioned buses for
Sioux City. We reached there
around 2 o’clock, then came good
byes to all our new - found
friends.
Ray and I had lunch in Sioux
City and drove home, reaching
