THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



recreation or life employment, is especially 

 beneficial. 



The death rate is very low, and the 

 United States census returns show the fol- 

 lowing percentages: 



Colorado 0.94 



Indiana . . . 1.03 



Ohio l.H 



Florida 1-21 



Virginia 1-24 



Kansas 1-25 



Illinois 1-33 



Pennsylvania 1.-4U 



New York 1.58 



California 1-61 



Massachusetts 1-77 



Louisiana 2.00 



Arizona 2. 61 



Compare Florida and California, states 

 which are noted as health resorts, whence 

 thousands seeking a renewal of impaired 

 health, flee in hope of restoration, with 

 Colorado, and both are seen to fall below 

 the state in the heart of the Rockies. 



The average velocity of the wind at 

 Denver is 6.3 miles. Compare this with 

 Boston 9.2 miles; San Francisco 9.3, and 

 Cheyenne 10.6. There are nu cyclones or 

 blizzards or damp winds. The nights are 

 always cool in summer. The air is pure 

 and dry and invigorating. The heat in 

 the summer (which is never excessive) is 

 not nearly so uncomfortable as in a lower 

 attitude and more humid climate. There 

 is no rainy season nor are there any fogs. 



PRICE AND TERMS. 



The price of lands is carefully graded 

 according to location and quality, and 

 ranges from $50 to $150 an acre. The 

 average price of the land in the sections 

 platted in five and ten-acre tracts and 

 suitable for fruit is $100. The terms are 

 very liberal. A small payment at the 

 the time of purchase and balance in one, 

 two, three, four and five years with inter- 



est on deferred payments at 6 percent. 

 Special terms will be made those who lo- 

 cate and begin immediate improvement. 



INDUCEMENTS TO COME. 



There are inducements enough to justify 

 you in the trip itself as a pleasure trip. 

 Come by either route you choose, you will 

 traverse the broad prairies and great 

 plains, and you will pass through some of 

 the grandest scenery the world affords. 

 You may see, too, according as your taste 

 and pleasure may dictate, the beauties of 

 nature in its loveliest aspect, or you may 

 witness the attempts to subjugate it for 

 the utility of man. 



If you come from the prairies of the 

 Central West the contrast will be as pleas- 

 ant as it is extreme. If you come from 

 the far East you will enjoy nature as ex- 

 hibited here on a far grander scale than it 

 is presented in the comparatively low 

 range of the Alleghanies along the eastern 

 coast. 



Come at whatever season you may it will 

 be a pleasurable experience. Although 

 the autumn or springtime will, of course, 

 present much greater contrasts of color^ 

 and the trip then will be attended with 

 greater comfort and personal enjoyment, 

 yet a winter trip offers its own peculiar in- 

 ducements. 



GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. 



If you are out of health the trip will 

 certainly be beneficial to you. If y ou are 

 a sufferer from chronic diseases there are 

 hot springs which rival those of Arkansas, 

 and medicinal springs which have effected 

 notable cures. 



Further detailed particulars will be 

 cheerfully furnished upon application.
