The traveller who has dime out here for the
first time is almost sure' to "experience a feel-
ing cildisaepantmeet avhen he reaches 'Pueblo.
Tele name is apt to Biggest the idea of allele.
ken rather than an American towea, but it
se happens thaelthere is really .nothing Mexi-
can about it except the inmate. After'a seareb
of two or three hoUrri I was notable to find a
single individual of Spanish origin in it, and I
was"told bya newspaper man, who appeared
to be well informed as to the .composition of
the population of the place, that he did not
think that there were two Spaniards in it.
Thenstlie-feet-thort-Pueblo ire situated in the
valley of the Arkaneaa, among the foot bills
of tlae Rocky Mountains, is likely to -suggest
to the mind of any ono who has been accus-
tomed to the scenery of the St. Lawrence, the
Ottawa, or•indeed any of onr Canadian rivers,
the idea bf picturesqueness,fertility, and
beauty, but the traveller will look in main fer
any of these in this partiefilar locality, The
Arkansas, like most of the other great rivers
of thewestris a fraud. It is just abodt as
mean an apology for a river as anyone who
lies Isom accustomed to real elvers couTd well
conceive. There is, it is true, more weer in
it here than at dome points farther down, for
it grows "small by degrees," if not beauti-
fully lead.," the farther it moods from its
bue evefehere it is a river of sand rile
Baer than of water, A huge atteem of quick.
sand with a few veins of water running through
it. And instead of the verdure and beaety,
which ere,generally found in the velleye of
large rivers, one finds nothing but a state of
sterility, which leis painful to comteniplate.
here indeed' had repeated aesurances from
the people that the land is of the most excel-
ent quality,. and that all that it reeving to
make it eminently productive is to "get the
"weteront of it ;' and• en the cisme principle. '
I may say that all that ib requires to make
?debt° beautiful is to fill the Akkanstie with
'water instead of sand, and toolothe the barren
hills which suirenrid it with grass, trees,
shrubs and flowers; but the revolution in no. •
tura whieh produceethis state of thing% would
turn the waldernese which surronds it, and
which stretches out for haffireds of miles to
the meth and the south and the oast Ofit, in.
to a fruitful nem, -
As it is; I ein afraid it roust be confessed
that, from art artistic point of vie*, there is
very little of interest either in the city itself
or ite eurreundings, except it be the dim and
distant outline of AD Rooky Mountable 'which
tieci scarcely visible front, the aity 'on account
of the hills with 'which it is henamee in. Itis

Of the dome:any was 56 bring the town up out
of the i'alley and from ening the barren and
•
sandy bMs which eurround it unto a level and
elevated plateau which lies to the leest and
south of it. With tine view the plateau in
question has been irrigated and planted, at
great expense with cottonwood trees. But
though the water is on the land, and the cot-
tonwoods are growing; the city hes not yet
come up out of the hollow, and probably will
not come up for some time. There are a few‘
metered houses and a couple of churches on"
the "Mesa," as theeplateau in question is
called, butthe business is all done in the. vals
ley, where, also, the bulk of the people reside,
and probably whatever of growth the town
will have for opine time to come will be there.
And it seemr to be a pity Shat -it ehould be so,
for barren and desert -like ap, the hills and the
plain that lies behind them are, the valley is
still worse. The town herthe appearanoe of

to the Atehecsoil, Topeka et Santa Fe Railway,
but it isnot impossible that the very thing
which has called it into existence will yet work
its ruin. It is now the .western teminao a
this read, but it ia not probable that, especial-
ly in view of the turn which things have tak-
en in the mountains that it will be very long

supplies which find . their way tothoeminese
The Wench of the Denver and. Rio Grande
Railway, which'conneets Pueblo with Canon
City, is already carrying much of the business
past Pueblo; aue Denver is pressing the South
Park Railway forward withal possible speed,
in the hope of connecting Denver with teed -
villa by railway communication in time to se-
cure ti' the former the 'trade of the latter. In
view of these facts it is Morally certain the
Attheson,Topeka & Siete Fe Railway Clom-
pany, one of the most wealthy and powerful
corporations on the continent, will not be slow
-to-extend-its toad to the -westward.Jp_thee
event it is more than possible that this dusty
little town will only retain the shadow of the
prosperity which it enjoys at present. It will
still be an impotent point for the shipment of
-cattle, and there willIbe a limited amount of
bnebandry carried on in the valley' of the Ars
kansas, and of one or two of its tributaries,
whereeirrigation is possible, bet bah of these
together will not be enfficient to make it a
