High Hills
SOVEREIGN PANAcEA FOR THE
GRoucH.-6EAuTiEs or THE
SCENIC ROUTE.

M#
Though lhe Scenic Route has pro-
crossed scarce Two mlt Iron 4 Las
Vegas end, yet a trip aio j The Lroad,
hard mountain way on a bright day
is full of charm. After the road Is
reached by a tortuous and rather rug
ged course from the canyon, the grade
is inconsequential and progress is as
easy as or the Hot Springs boule-
yard. From the moment one finds his
attention no longer distracted by the
difficulties Of his path. the beauties
disclosed continue constantly 10 ac-
centuate as the traveller advances.
From tn epoint where the Scenic
route begins. the eye carries backward
over a vast expanse of shining vel
low mesa. swelling to low purple
hills resting on the horizons rim. In
the nearer distance lie the magnifi-
cent Montezunla hotel buildings and
their beautiful grounds. Across the
canyon Of the Gallinas. filled, if the
day is right, with blue mists shot
through with golden sun rays, rise
steep. green clad slopes, ~curtailing the
view. And above tower the hills
which seem to mock at the puny eff
forts of man. But, nathless. the hills
have afforded an easy way ami as the
traveller pushes on the view becomes
broader and grander. The ponds in
the canyon flash back the suns rays
and at times the whole stream be.
comes molten silver.
The white tents of the railroad
builders form a pretty picture and
from the depths m up softened
and harmonized with the scenic beau.
|ty, the hum Of hundred-handed indus
try. Soon the main range Swallowed in
the blue distant even under brightest
suns, breaks into view and thence
onward the progress is one of per-
petual surprise and delight. Mr.. Green
made an apt comparison, when he
likened the Scenic way to the high,
white roads of the Swiss mountains,
and the views to those obtained in
that incompatible region Of rugged
highland. and green valley and shin
ing lake.
The aspect of the far away noun
|tairs changes constantly The breadth
of view is inspiring, the feeling Of
freedom makes one say with Tell,
"Methinks a spirit in your echoes
answers me and bids your tenant wei
come to his home again. One be-
come; emancipated from the city, the
humdrum of life and the pettiness Of
man and feels himself as all must
feel theselves, a child of the wilds.
Let him who has grown pessimistic
and carping betake himself to the
highest point on the Scenic Route.
drink the pine perfumed air Of the
hills, let the touch of nature make
his soul kin with the realities Of the
world, let him. enjoy the aloofness,
the freedom, the Undesirable beau
tify of the high places, and cynicism
and unrest will take a vacation,

10 the Editor: VIII Won please

write To The Optic for information.
JOHN SMITH.
Mr.. Smith and his friends are not
the first by many millions to marvel at
this most stupendous and unequaled
odor. The first thought was to ask
a loyal o Of Germany who must
consume a pound a day, but his reply
was NOT wholly satisfactory:
why dol Limbnrger smell like 1t
does? II don'd."
The total dcpravity o. inanimate
things sounds plausible. But Lin.
burger cheese IL not inanimate. A
portion or II has q larger AMI more
congestcd population than New York's
east side. So that theory falls.
Perhaps this population believes In
advertising itself ard adopted this
certainly effective method. or per.
haps, on the other hand. IL proceeded
on the theory that this was It's pro-
yidentlally provided means OF defense
against destruction by cheese-loying

But after all. perhaps the most

AUTOMATIC HANDOUTS.
May Be Adopted By State Police-a
 New Wrinkle in Nippers.

The state police department has been asked to buy some automatir handcuffs. which are said to be th, last work in the handcuff line. The automatic handcuff is opened ana handled with one hand. This leaves the other hand of policeman free for the use of a revolver to compel the prisoner to hold up his hands The new cuffs are quickly opened by sim. ply brushing the locking bar against the leg. Then when the cuffs are pressed to the prisoners wrists they close witch a snap tightly around the wrist, whatever size the wrist may be. The cuffs are made of drop forged steel with single link and swivel. making it impossible to break them by twisting the wrist The link, hin-c s-.d swivel have a testing strength of l,050 pounds
 Another new police device is an au- fomatic nipper. If resistance is of fered. twist of the hand will bring the prisoner to his knees. It is said that practical tests have shown that a pSssoner can ha kept under perfect eon- &sr&X
