EN you enter Denver, Colorado, you comt to the urban hub of nearly one-fifof the United States. th state capital, a great western city, a gateway to the mountains all these Denver is ' and more. Spokes of influence extend from it into the entire Rocky Mountain area, and into large regions of the adjoining plains states as well, making it the financial, commercial, ana industrial center of a vast area. No other city in the United States with a quarter-millio- n population is to far removed 500 miles or more from all other big cities. Naturally,' the people of .this great region .urn , to Denver, whether they are out for business or pleasure, for a commercial fight or a recreational frolic. Its a habit of long standing The miners started.it when they came every so often to the rough little town that was Denver in the sixties to spend some of their gold for supor less plies and the rest in more ,v ' riotous living. Later, when great riches werfe made in gold and silver and cattle, the ortunatq ones moved to Denver and built the mansions and hotels and business blocks that started the solid structure of the adventurers, city. and capitalists flocked to Denver in the seventies and eighties. Many younger sons of the British nobility and several Britons with well - known titles made the city their headquarters for extensive cattle operations, and gave glittering parties at the old Windsor hotel and the American house that have not faded from Denvers memory. Before its irrigation empire was even dreamed of and while its mineral kingdom was still undeveloped, Denvers location was of little value; but young Denver, despite surveys, clung stubbornly to the belief that in some way the transcontinental railway, when it came, could be pushed through the mountains west of the city. When, instead, .the lines of steel were extended through Cheyenne, a hundred miles to the north, Denverites put aside their disappointment and quickly raised the capital tc build a connecting line to the new high- . i i way. With this rail contact with the eastern settlements established and with the steady growth of mining in the mountains, Denver drew to herself in a few years direct lines of railroad from the east. Now these highways of steel radiate north and. south and east from Denver like the ribs of a fan. A result of this railway gence on Denver has been to make the city one of the countrys leading livestock markets. Never Lost Dream While ' the ' transcontinental railways went their busy ways north and south of Denver, the city never lost its dream of a line straight west through the mountains. Greatest and most tireless of the dreamers was David H. Moffat, tunnel who visioned . a through the Continental Divide under James Peak. . He not only dreamed, but worked, and spent his fortune on the project. He did not live to see his plan realized, but on July 7, 1927, the Moffat tunnel was holed through. Now a standard-gaug- e railway operates double tracks through it into Middle Park, opening up a new moun; tain realm to Denver. iYou sense Denvers most astonishing physical achievement only . when you let your imagination wander back seventy years. It is hard to believe that barely threescore and ten years ago this great A , . . . ; ' . -- Globe-trotter- s, . : . six-mi- le city, with its hundreds of miles of streets, lined now with fine, towering shade trees, was raw prairie.

So frequent are these drenchings that in summer the watering hose is not removed night or day from the hydrants. Use Water Lavishly Knowing that this is a dry country ahd that water is precious, you ask one of the official; of the water board about the heavy use of water in the city and run into a surprising paradox. It is very important that we use water lavishly today, he tells you, in order that our grandchildren shall have enough for their vital needs. Visiting water works experts think we are crazy when we make that statement, but it is literally true. This is an irrigation country. Municipalities, as well as individuals, must follow the laws worked out under irrigation conditions in getting their water supplies. Once . BDdDTTEIL Mrs. J. H.

We are looking forward to a city of half a million or more by 1950. Thats why we want to keep every drop of Denvers annual water supply busy and to increase the supply in you all possible ways. One way in which Dener plans to increase its water supply con- an engineering stitutes romance. When the Moffat tunnel was dug, an pilot tunnel was carried through the Continental Divide beside the large railway bore. Denver leased this small tunnel, and plans to bring through the towering mountain range hundreds of millions of gallons of water that now flow into the Pacific ocean. In education Denvers fame is great. Educators from the two hemispheres have beaten a path y to this city at the base of the Rockies to study its scheme of teachers salaries, its indefatigable efforts to keep the subject-matte- r which it teaches abreast of all worthwhile developments, and even its school architecture. eight-foot-squa- re far-awa- ; , A Practical School ' Another famous part of the Denver educational system that draws educators from afar is its Opportunity school. From 8:30 oclock in the morning until 10 at night this practical school is open alike to young people and old. In it elderly men and women, denied the education they wished in youth, receive high school instruction; men displaced in one occupation may learn another; and young men and women may be trained in practical arts, from barbering to bricklaying, and from cooking to etching. Most of Colorados institutions of higher education are naturally concentrated in and near Denver. In the city is the University of Denver, founded,' when the community was little more than a village, by Colorados territorial governor, John Evans, the same John Evans who previously had founded Northwestern university, Illinois.
