An automobile trip over Colorado Spring allowed vs to nee the city to the best advantage. The Union Print er' llnino attraeted onr attention It to hii elegant structure and one which an' 'knight of the shooting stick and mallet" might well lie pleaded to cull home. It is almost sclf-sustainlne. having it own farm, dairy, garden, laundry, ice, heat, hospital, etc. (.'(dorado Springs is noted for Its line homes. "n one strees alone, are the mansions of seventeen millionaires. We didu.l put upon that street. The great climax of the trip was reached when we saw how the world is puilt, from the summit of Pike's Peal: Words fail us whim wo try to describe that journey. It was "awfully grand" and "grandly awful." They told u we must see the sun rise, from I'ikeV Peak summit by all means, or miss the iikwI beifutlful sight of the wholu Kooky .Mountain glories. Of 'oiirso we. didn't want to mins anything but the only thing to was to make a night trip. W were undecided how to make the tri whether by burro, train or n-fool This was our lirst ascent (and may i be my lust) so we decided the inort iiovd way would be to climb. We a' eunlingly equipped ourselves and se out a-foot about I p, in. Such a joll erowd ! We all fid t gay and festive and gave thoe whom we met the laugh w hen they said we'd never reach the top. We told them we wo-.ld be np mid ! the sun rie all right. We renelii'd the I la If-Way House which by the way, is only oue-thfrd of the distance not much the worse for went Mad supper and felt ho'.tcr but our levity gradually abated the higher we climbed. Pact is, we needed that ex tra wind and before we reached the lop, one would easily have mistaken us for a hunch of mutes. Such a con trast to the mood in which wu started Hut, though faint we were yet pui'sii ing, so .tarled on our way rejoicing The printing olllce, which is really hall way, was our next stop. We called on the editor in Ids sanctum sanctorum . ami, in order to convince hjni that I "as a printer, set up the' following which he published next day in The Pike's Peak Daily News: "Miss Maude 0. Thomas, editor of Tiik Hkavkii Hkkai.o, Heaver, Oklaho ma, was a caller at the News olllce Friday night She was on her way to the Peal; and was accompanied by W. II. Thomas. Beaver, Oklahoma, Fred K Hilton. Paris, Illinois, Misses lCrnui Orahireo, Heaver, Okla., Hazel Murphy and Zella Jones, Green Ridge, .Mo., and others. Mrs. Annie I.. .Tones and Mr. W li. Thomas accompanied "The Hunch" as far as the Half Way House. They were out for a good time and seemed to be having it a they came in singing and not down at the mouth, as many of the tourists do. This item was net by Miss Maude, who was nn. ioiii to "stick typo, on the highest pa per in the world the paper, above the clouds " A short ways nut from the printing ollice found us at timber line and there is where the fun '.') commenced, The bleep grade we had been climbing grow steeper and there was only one direct-in straight up. Two steps forward niul slip back one, made p:ogres slow and to make bad matters worse, our breath came like the muiiII boy in short pants and we could only go a lew steps until wo had to stop and wait for ttur breath to catch up. And windy! It was a good thing wo hailed from Oklahoma else the wind would have titriifd u luck. I.etinesay right here, Oklahoma wind are a gentle yephyr to what blew that night. We weie bound for the top though and did not iu'siluto for well we knew, "He who hesitates is lost," especially he who hesitates euroute to the summit of the Peak. Those blankets that were such a burden at first now came in lirelt) handy. It was cold enough to Crc'4H the ear- off u brass monkey. VW Mopped three hours on the way up at intervals, but little did wo rest. Imagine an all-night's walk through the wind and cold ami a halt for rest where you must lie ilown on the, warm ( '.' ) side of a massive pile of sharp edged granito never kissed by the noon-day sun and. which for cold, would put an ieeburg out of business, and sou if you can conceive any rest. Hut, even at that, we could have slept had it not beep necessary for us to bo up and do ing to see the sun rise. AVo had hard trouble to keep Zella and Krnia from falling by the wayside, but finally we arrived at the Summit, a tired, worn out set, too tired almost to appreciate the beauties or the biinriso and not teenung with a very great deshe fur more "novelty" of the degree thnt de manded such great physical exertion Tliu sunrise was grand. Away olf In the east a great retl ball east its brill iant rays o'er the valley below us blend ing the sombre grey of the grand old peak with the var'cd color of the ad jacent landscape and throwing over all a veil of majestic loveliness unfolding, as It were, Nature's great studio where the. angels had delved in a thousand cojors and combined all the most beau tiful in one great panorama which they gave to the Rocky Mountains for the "Pike's Peak Sunrise." We puuuigcd to gain admittance tr. the Summit House by paying 'J5 cents each for the privilege. We would have paid a $1.00 rather than stand out it that freezing blast. The Peak was not the only "high" thing we found. Cof fee was 'J.'i cents per cup. sandwiches "J."i cents, water, cold 5 cents a glass, hot 15 cents a cup and everything elt in proportion Our aupeiites had gone with our night's rest however, so wi were not bothered by prices Theonlj thing we wanted bad was to get home The altitude of Pike's Peak is II, 1 1. feet or nine miles. That is, when joi ride up or look up. When you wi 11. up multiply by ten times ten and ado I) ??' ?????!) 7v".'?'.'1 We spent the morning on top view ing the "pile of rocks," as one ex pressed It. It was mest too cold to he outside nfueh but we took jome pic tures and waited hy the fire for tin train on the Cog Railroad. It came in I tie time and we girls were among tin Irst aboard, Will had previously start ed down a-foot determined to walk tin -ound trip. The Cog Road route is a daring fete v'hen one stops to consider, and yet here has never been an accident on the road. Only the most reliable inc. ire employed and the greatest preeau i n is taken. Going up the engine iitslies tin car. Coming down it pre edes it and all trains run very slowlj . die could Jump olT at most any time s ar as speed is concerned. It didn't ippcarso awful tons but remember .vo had walked up and anything thai ilfo rd ed carriage looked good. It took .i minutes to make the descent. If one is equal to thu emergency, the limb is the only way to visit the Peak .everything fs seen at so inue.li better idvantage. The view from the car to lurried and incomplete while in Hit valk the scene can be viewed in all its randcur. The experience is worth uany dollars. When we reached the foot wo found he folks waiting for us and it didn't ako us long to hurry on home. The balance of our stay in Colorado vas spent in Mauitou and the Springs. Ve visited the Cave of the Winds and nany other natural wonders. This ave has ilfteeu rooms ami contains uost curious formations of rocks of iiiman and animal type. It is electric ighted. Thus ends our trip to Colo-ado We 'iopo that our attempt at describing mine of the things we saw, has been m teres ting to our readers and the best lung that we can wish for thoo who lave not seen I ho beauties that the West affords, is that some day they nay be able to see it all then they will .oalize how inadequate are words to losoribo.

She is located in a pretty part of Paonia in a neat now four-room cottage, cosy and nice. She is one of the main workers in the erection of our now Christian church. She spread the cement at the corner-stone laying. I suppose you know that Charlie Cartmel is .Hurried. I went to Outline last winter to spend the Holidays with my parents and would have stopped oil and seen old Heaver and friends there only that my stay from homo was rather limited on account, of the children's short ya- cation from school rAiuu aim son are staying with me this week Her name is Clark.

We should be careful to j;ot out or an experience only the wisdom that is in it, and stop there; lest wo bo liku the cat that sits down on n hot stove-lid She will never lt down on a hot stove- lid again, and that is well : but also she ' wilt never sit down on a cold one any , more. .Mark Twain. The "Dry" Amendment is Piled All Right The rumor has gained circulation over the state that the prohibition amendment to the constitution has not been filed in the secretary's olllce and therefore the election on the amend ment Is not legal The prohibition amendment was lllcd by Pnnldont Murray at the aine time the parchment copy of the constitution was transmitted to Secretary Filsou. The ainendineiit was separately sub mitted and therefore was Hied sepa rately with the secretary. It is bnunp In red leather, and on the cover in gold lettering is designated as a separate amendment to the constitution. As the. amendment was placed in a safe place in the vaiKt at the secreta ry's ollice. and the parchment copy of the constitution placed in a large paste board box for convenient . handling, many belle. eil the amendment was not died, as those -who examined the parch ment copy or the eoiititiitlon did Hoi mlike inquiry about the amendment, and not seeing it as a part of tin origi imil constitution jump'd to the eon I'luMon that it had not been Hied. i.ilhrie R'gister Tobacco Pouch Jarri;3 Big 'tim With its sides bulging with green backs an old tobacco pouch was dumped liy the post man on the desk of Fred 7..
