O. Bonfils, boss of the Denver Post, says: "We are going to the top of Mount Evans, more than 14,400 feet high, and I'll show you a real mountain country. You could drop Switzerland in It and never find it again." You want to see Pike's Peak, which means to you the Rocky Mountains, old mining days, gold rush, everything western. you learn that Colorado has 100 peaks as high as Pike's Peak and many higher. Long ago Mr.

Pike, tolling over the prairies With his own, saw a and noticed that it didn't JSwe. That was Pike's Peak. Mr. Pike's name stuck to It. Pioneers wrote "Pike's Peak or Bust" on their wagons.

Soon everybody had heard of Pike's Peak. That helps us to realize what advertising can do. It made the reputation of Pike's Peak, 'while higher peaks were neglected. Your mountain driver says: "I saw that Kansas automobile license; that's why I stopped. Those girls from flat states are nervous.

You are afraid to blow your horn behind them. They might twist the wheel and go over the edge." He, far from nervous, Is quite happy with half an inch between his outer wheel and eternity. "There isn't any danger," says he, "If you jammed on your brakes your differential would drag along the ground and you wouldn't go over." Happy optimism.

You can describe the Taj Mahal, or Senator Borah in action, but you can't describe "the Rockies." First you look up and exclaim. Then -you look, down and gasp. You look -stratg'ht' ahead and find reaches back for hundreds of- miles toward the west.

Your driver says, "You can see the Denver, telephone building from here." As you go up. Bear Creek roars down the gully. On your left enough water power Is wasted to run many factories. "This place was full of dinosaurs once," says your driver. "The big ones in the Smithsonian Institution used to live here.

See those three things like claws, in the rock there? A dinosaur's foot made that mark." For seventy-five miles the mountain road leads always upward, around turns as sharp as a street corner, with the tops of pine trees a thousand feet below. Presently the trees, change, thick trunks and short, heavy limbs, and the trunks themselves are twisted, like fantastic columns, or human bodies hi illustrations of Dante's hell. You reach the last struggling line of trees. On the lower side green; on the side toward the mountain top they are bleached white, bark gone, worn away by wind, hail, driving snow. A little higher and the timber runs along the mountainside as as.

a knife edge. At that ght. Immutably fixed by nature. 'trees stop. There, in desperate.

Silent courage, they have fought for their lives through successive generations for thousands of centuries. "See that lake down there about 700 feet?" says the driver. "That's Lost Lake, and nobody knows how deep ft is. Sco how black it is in the center. You can catch big trout there, if you know enough to use live mice." Reader, this is no tale of horror.

No live mouse is put on the hook. Proceed. "The biggest trout won't bother with flies, and they're wise. You take a live mouse, tie a string around him, fasten a hook to the string on the mouse's back. The hook doesn't touch the mouse.

You put the mouse, fastened to your line, afloat on a little piece of wood. The breeze carries him out onto the lake. The mouse won't get ofl the wood. He's afraid. "At the right moment you jerk your line gently and the mouse, nulled from his raft, begins to swim.

Magnificently beautiful is the view 'from that Rocky Mountain top, overlooking thousands of other peaks In Colorado there are more than 1000 peaks more than 10,000 feet high.

Mount Evans' top is bare and brown, struggling grass, moss and lichens fighting for a place on the granite.

This course would carry her over the Lfena valley, In the region of the famous Lena gold fields.

It appeared that Dr. Eckener would follow his original course carrying him over the western end of the sea of Okhotsk, then down- over Sakhalien to Japan.

Chancellor Snowden's rejection of the offers of the other creditor powers, it was felt in British sources this afternoon, left little chance for further negotiations here unless Prance, Italy. 1 Belgium, and Japan find it possible increase their offers. substantially. Chancellor Snowden was stated to have calculated that, instead of the 60 per cent of his demnd the cred- iton claimed to be offering him, their proposals probably would net about 20 per cent of what he feels he must have and at the utmost can accept.

In his conversation with Premier Jaspar of Belgium, concerning the offer, the Chancelolr said that it it were the last word the other creditors had to say in the matter everybody might as well go home. The Chancellor held that the offer itself involved no sacrifice at all for the other principal powers but was simply an offer to increase Great Britain's share of reparations at the expense of the smaller powers. $50,000 Suit Is Caused by Fire As Mob Stormed New Orleans City Hall citv cameraman the picture above as a mob was rushing Into the Kfew Orleans in progress in the council chamber, Acting Mayor Walmsley ana 'three commls- rate strpt-t A minutes later police the building With In the Inset are holding up a strike MJ JAWVO uui £-iriivcrs. i jw nu clubs and tear gas bombs, five persons being S3nt to hospitals, sympathizer, shot in the foot during the melee.
