FARM AND ORCHARD HOMES 

 NEAR DENVER. 



HOW TO OBTAIN A HOME AND AN INCOME AT 



SMALL COST. 



NO section of the Rocky Mountain re- 

 gion is just now receiving greater 

 attention than the region immediately sur- 

 rounding Denver, Colo., and this is espec- 

 ially true of the Cherry Creek valley, 

 southeast of the city, and for this there 

 are numerous reasons. In its broad, 

 smooth extent, in the depth and fertility 

 of its soil, in the abundance and constancy 

 of its water supply, as well as in the gen- 

 iality, salubrity and health-restoring qual- 

 ities of its climate, it is without a counter- 

 part in all this upland region. 



Here, under the bluest of skies, and 

 with an incomparable all-the-year-round 

 climate, dry, bracing and health-restoring, 

 the great possibilities of this sun-bathed 

 region for fruit growing, live stock raising 

 and general farming are being realized. 

 Especially will this locality attract those 

 whose health requires an outdoor life in 

 the dry, elevated region of the Rocky 

 Mountains, and these will there find not 

 only the health they seek but also profit- 

 able occupation and a business career. 



But it is not to the invalid or semi-in- 

 valid only that the idea of a home near 

 Denver will appeal. There are thousands 

 in our large cities who are becoming weary 

 of the grind and drudgery of city life; who 

 sigh for the country and green fields; who 

 feel that they and their growing families 

 would be healthier could they but get 

 away from the brick and mortar and out of 

 the narrow streets. They have been look- 

 ing toward the Rocky Mountain region in 

 the belief that there is for them the home 

 of health and prosperity and independence 

 for which they long. In this region, with 



its dry pure air and its almost continual 

 sunshine, many of those whom ill-health 

 is driving from the humid climates of the 

 eastern states will secure the great boon of 

 returning health, while the occupation in 

 the orchard or the garden or the dairy af- 

 fords the out door life so essential in ef- 

 fecting the cure. How immeasurably bet- 

 ter, in all respects, is such a life compared 

 with that of the conventional health resort 

 does not need to be pointed out, 



THE CITY OF DENVER. 



Thirty-odd years ago when the site of 

 Denver was marked by a few log shanties, 

 no one expected it to become the domi- 

 nant city of the West. But its growth 

 has been both rapid and permanent, and 

 to-day it is the most important city be- 

 tween the Missouri river and San Fran- 

 cisco. The attractions and merits of Den- 

 ver cannot be condensed into a few para- 

 graphs. It has become a saying that it is 

 unsafe to stop over at Denver, as an irre- 

 sistible charm is worked to create restless- 

 ness and dissatisfaction elsewhere, and 

 the visitor yields to the spell and cares 

 not to leave. 



Denver is beautifully situated at the 

 meeting point of the plains and the foot 

 hills. On the east stretches one hundred 

 and seventy five miles of prairie to the 

 Colorado state line, and on the West it is 

 only twelve miles to the mountains. No 

 visitor has ever been fully prepared for 

 the beauty of the city in its public and 

 private buildings, its magnificent business 

 structures of granite and marble ami 

 pressed brick, finished with onyx, its coin- 

 in ( dious hotels: its stately churches, and.
