Com-petition. Spocial CorrQipondwoco, Denver, Col. Nov. 1-1. Denvor is tbe finest town in the west. This I have often heard, but1 never fully realized until to d iy, when the fall glory of thescpne burst up-, on tlie excursion party from the' heighta of the city as they were es-j corted in conveyances by the Denver I board of trade to view the city. On arrival here last night tbe Omaha party was met by a Denver committee and the frendora of the city tendered to the visitors. This morning at 9 o'clock they were taken in conveyances convey-ances to all tho 'points of interest in the vicinity, viewed the elegant public pub-lic buildings, churches and school-houses, school-houses, the solid and substantial business bus-iness houses (mostly of brick) and the tasteful pnvae residences wbich abound in tbe higher parts ol the town. The prevailing architecture of Denver is moro eastern than western, and there bos been built up here in the mountains a city which is the pride of its peoplo, and which they need not be ashamed to show to the world. An exceedingly lively, yet quiet and well-ordered ciiy is Denver. Her Btreets are not as wide as those of Salt Lake, but they have as solid a foundation. Shade trees abound, and water for irrigation as well as j domestio purposes is abundant, for , the former Cherry creek, a branch of i tbe Platte, is tapped seventeen miles I above tbe city, aud the domestic sup-1 ply comes from tbe Platte river, being i pumped to the highest points by the i Holly system. For information of the excursionists a fire alarm was struck, and iu about one minute six streams f water were in full blast, ' overtopping tbe highest buildings. The city controls the entire water system sys-tem and the tax is quite light. Tbe drives are numerous and pleasant, the gradual elevations and the mountain scenery reminding one of your city, though the view ia somewhat some-what wider here. The elevations of Long's Peak and Pike's Peak are distinctly visible in a clear atmosphere. atmos-phere. A large number of substantial buildiogB have been erected be:e during the present year. Some of the business houses do a very extensive exten-sive trade, a dry goods house more than rivalling any Omaha house. Some ol the Omaha merchants who come here expecting ex-pecting to open up a trade, seem disappointed, as they aay Denver Den-ver sells more goods in many lines and sells them cheaper than Omaha. Of railroad palaver there is no end. The common talk is on the subjects of pro rate, discrimination and competition. com-petition. Denver people seem delighted de-lighted that they have chances by the Colorado Central to reach the Union Pacific, and to day the latter company is more popular in Denver than ever before. To say nothing of tbe benefits of opening Ibis new line of communication communi-cation to Colorado in a general point of view, the local advantages to tbe people on the line of the Colorado Colo-rado Central, which embrace some of the best agricultural population of the state, its well as large mining camps, the work is a good and popular one, il for no other reason than that it nfbrds competition between be-tween Deuvir and Cneyeune, the patmeugr (are having already found its w;y down lo f3 as against tbe old rale of $10. The Omaha parly go to Clear Creek cnfion and the Georgetown region tomorrow to-morrow morning. I regr. very much that I cannot accompany them on accouul of lime. Tuey will subsequently subse-quently go to Garland, the southern terminus of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad. I start for Chicago in the morning. Truly yours, E. N. F. "THE.
