is little different from any other
in the state. There are many pretty
places in. the Colorado hills, and
this is one of the best. The desti-
nation is Como, mountain railroad
center which alone is interesting,
but before this is reached a beautiful
panorama of canon and hill top will
be disclosed before the eye of the
tourist.
1t has been arranged with the
Colorado & Southern, over which
line the excursion will be run, Fri
day, August %, to stop along the
way in order that the excursionists
may stop at any point and be picked
up on the way back. Some may
have particular spot at which they
wish to fish. Others may simply
want to explore the rocky canons,
and still others will wish to climb
mountain peaks. Full information
will be furnished patrons, as to the
different places of interest, and how
much time may be had at each place
before the return of the train.
The fare for the round trip will
only be s3. so where the regular fare
would cost over SIS. The proceeds
from the excursion will go toward
making a park eout Of an unsightly
vacant lot just west Of the railroad
tracks between Eighth and Ninth
streets.
Not alone will this trip be one of
unusual pleasure, but it will be of
true value In beautifying the city.

flowers of rare beauty inviting rest
and contemplation while yo'l wonder

Higher and higher, you go until
all signs of trees disappear and still
the flowers are with you, more beau

fore. A little green grass also finds
lodging among the rocks, but In the

Now the plains twenty miles be-
yond the foothills are visible, dot

sweeping down over the slope past

the snow fields of the Continental

you may see glaciers between Flat
top and Mt. Hallet. Great riffs. In
the landscape below these contain
black and almost bottomless lakes,
some frozen solid, others with icy
waters as clear as crystal. But
there are more of these visible
farther up.

In solitude. 1t is probably all In
your state of mind, but certain it is
that silence is the only proper lang
uage in which to commune with
these ruins of revolutionary ma
ture. Also, II you are good on foot,
walk all the way up. There is
pleasure in every step of the way.
There is but one trail leading to the
top Of Longs Peak. This properly
begins at the home of Enos A. Mills,
the we'll known mountaineer at
Longs Peak Inn. The peak may be
approached from the north or south
but ones course will run into the
regular trail sooner or later anyway.
Fine wooded slopes line both sides
Of the trail for the first three miles.
The air is almost heavy with the
odor of pines and flowers, blended in
most delicious harmony of scent;
swiftly rushing mountain stream
rolls and tosses beside your path,
and the song of hundreds of birds
fills the air. 1t is transportation
into another world. Whether you
be afoot or on horse back, as yet you
feel no fatigue. The surroundings
give vigor and strength.
A couple of hours at the most will
bring you to timberline, where vio-
lence and beauty have been battling
for ages and the battle line is strewn
with deformed plant life. Gnarled
and twisted trees try to hide their
deformed bodies in new coats of fol-
iage, W hich in time Is also twisted
out of shape by the fierce storms.

FOR A GUILD HOUSE

Saturday evening a pleasant enter
the Episcopal Sunday School Of Pros
pect Park in Pixies hall, University and
Bedford avenue Sc. The entertain
ment was given to start building fund
for a guild house, as such a house is
much needed by the people, Mrs. G.
II. Grouse and Louis Cook, the two
teachers of the classes had arranged a
very delightful program. The class of
MIR. Brooks gave sketch from Shakes

and the eight boys who took part in it
were George Hyser, Stevens Grouse, Ro-
land Teller, Edward Crory, Corbin
Crory, We're Chase, Leigh Lamoreaux,

part were Misses Steffens, Mary Harp
well, Faith Power, Grace Power, Fran
| ces Potts, Katherine Teller, Josephine
Crory, Mvra Good, Helen Chance, Nora
Engelbrecht and Ethel Chase. The fail
evening brought out great audience

N. E. TAXPAYERS CAUTIOUS
Committee Keeps an Eye on New Paw
ing Material.

Northeast Minneapolis residents
composing the committee appointed by
the property owners along Central ave-
nue. north of Eighteenth avenue, in the
interest Of street paving, met Wednes-
day evening in the office of F. L.
Palmer. DR.. Knapp is chairman Of the
committee, Frank Palmer secretary, and
committee Of two-Dr. Knapp and E
E. Haw-is in charge to test the brick
which is to be laid on the avenue. The
committee was also authorized to go
into court and restrain the city from
laying poor brick, and they have the
backing Of all the property owners in
case litigation should arise. These
steps were taken to protect the prop.
erty owners from getting an inferior
pavement, such as the one which was
laid on Central south of Eighteenth
avenue.
The same committee was appointed
to wait on the city council Wednesday
with request to have the telephone
wires put under ground before the paw
ing was laid and to request the gas
company to make connections and con
meet their main to Twenty-ninth ave
nue.. The purpose is to prevent the
paving being disturbed when once laid
and to that effect the property owners
have received notice from the city en-
gineer's office to make sewer and wa
| ter connections at once.

Sc. RESIDENTS
WANT new BRIDGE
WASHINGTON AVENUE BRIDGE
DOES NOT SUIT THEM.
They Want Washington Avenue Sc
Paved and Must Have Safer Railroad
Crossings-Over 500 Children Attend
Motley School, and Their Lives Are
Forever Threatened.

Residents of Minneapolis southeast of
University avenue, embracing Oak
street and the surrounding streets, are
DESTROYS of having three things in the
way of municipal Improvements. First
of all, they want new bridge to take
the place Of the Washington avenue
bridge; second, they want safer rail
cifc track on Oak and University ave-
nue. and over the Milwaukee track run
ming over Washington avenue and
University; and third, they want Wash
ington avenue paved from the bridge
to University In addition, they are in
complete sympathy with the movement
on foot by the University Avenue Bust
ness Men s association to have Univer-
sity avenue paved romIFourteenth ave-
nue. Sc, twelve blocks, bringing tito
the city limits one block east of Bed
ford avenue.
The demand for new bridge in place
of the old Washington avenue bridge
finds it's cause in the fact that first Of
all the, general sentiment Gin spite of
the city, engineers verdlct) pro
the 6eavy 9e tpae Of street haa e cans and
teams, and in addition to it the bust
ness men declare that the bridge is not
large enough to offer the desired con-
venlences as a connecting link between
east and west Minneapolis.
! AS both of the railroad crossings are
within two blocks walk Of the Motley
school, one of the largest schools in
East Minneapolis, the danger for the
children is continuously at the door,
and teachers, as well as parents. are in
constant fear that some Of the
younger pupils may come to harm. The
| Northern Pacific track passes the en-
ginehouse of No. 10, and like the Mil
waukee tracks, runs thru one Of the
most populous districts of Southeast
| Minneapolis. The paving of Washing
ton avenue has almost become an ut
most necessity and one which is unani-
mously desired by residents and tax
payers. It is the thorofare which con-
meets Southeast Minneapolis with points
across the river, and the constant
growth of Southeast Minneapolis war
rants an Improvement of that sort with
out a doubt. Oak street, while but
short from Washington avenue Sc to
the river bank and boulevard, is one
Of the prettiest streets and is finely laid
out. Surrounding it are Fulton, Essex
and Delaware streets, all beautifully
laid out, very wide and built up with
many attractive homes Seventeen
years ago there existed a Southeast
, Minneapolis improvement association
a year or two ago an attempt was made
at reorganization, but it was not very
successful. Now with the University as
ISOLATION taking lead in pushing
municipal affairs, the residents of thai
southeast section are stirred up to re
newed interest, and reorganization
may result.

How About Rlllpoards2

To the Editor of The Journal.
1t is evident that the various East Min
neapolis improvement associations are in
earnest in their efforts to do the best pos
sible for the community and it's improve
ment. Allow me to suggest thru this me-
dunn that the association take up the
matter Of ''billboards" and start crusade
against them. A ride on any Of the east
bound car lines will convince the repre-
sentatives of these leagues that we have
too much of a good thing in that line. cat
every turn of the road our vision is inter-
rupted by some huge, massive, atrocious-
ly-colored billboard. They cheaper the
aspect of that part of the city which we
know as East Minneapolis. There is hard
liy a vacant lot or corner, where some I'M
calmly advertising scheme does not form
the connecting link between houses and
| stores. A look behind the scenes-well,
| the less said the better-it suffices to say,
| that whatever has to be gotten rid OF finds
| a dumping place behind the many bill
boards down town, thus making a hideous
| nuisance. In addition to this every va
cant store on Central avenue is plastered
thickly with dashy billboards, custom
| which certainly does not add to the in-
viting appearance of the street. It would
be Of benefit to the East Side If the
leagues would take up the question al
