Tourists Make Way with the Type for
Souvenirs.
Unique among the newspaper Offices
OF the United States. and probably the
highest in the world. is that on Pixies
Peak. The paper was an experiment
last season. but this year is a full
fiedged success. and is being published
twice a day out among the trees that
are very scanty up at timber line. The
publisher Is T. b. Wilson.
For several years Wilson has been
publishing newspapers in the noun
ain When he started the Pixies
Peak News IL was with some misgiv-
ings. He located his office on the very
peak. but the storms are so frequent
that he found IL better to move down
a little. However. he is yet $4,000 Feet
above sea level. and. with his wife and
daughter. spends a very pleasant sum-
mer. They all wor at the paper.
When the train on the cog road comes
putting its way up from Manitou the
passengers are Induced to give their
names. Then. while they go to the
top. the paper is printed and In 1t are
the names of all who have been on the
peak that day. OF course, there Is a
large sale among them. as they desire
the papers for souvenirs Of the visit.
The editors wife is able to set type
and print the paper as well as her hus-
band. One day when he vas away she
got out the paper. and. not having
had time to sell the edition before the
train started for the foot of the noun
tain, she paid her fare to the bottom
and sold papers on the train. Arrived
there, she did not have money enough
to pay her way bac and started for
the top on foot-a walk of 10 miles up
hill by the road.
The manager of the road saw her.

Not much news in this little noun
