Beginning about June 20, the Rock Island will run four excursions from Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha to Colorado common points, making a rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip and returh limit of October 81at on the tickets. These excursions will be run' as special excursion trains and about the same dates return excursions will be run from Denver, Colorada Springs and Pueblo to the Eastern points, the same rate prevailing, thus enabling Colorado people desiring to do so to make tourist trips east daring the summer, with the same advantages granted Eastern tourists who come West.
