The inspector on the dredge at the
outer end of the channel reports that
for about thirty minutes just after
midnight yesterday morning the harbor
lighthouse light and the range light
were obscured by dense volumes of
smoke which came as far out as the
end of the channel. The probable cause
of this was the discharge of immense
quantities of frecracllers set off for

COMPLAINTS OF THE KINAU.

Capt. w A. H. Conner, in charge
of the Federal dredging contract. has
complained to Lieut.. S1attery, U. S. A,
nau kept her propellers going all Tues
day forenoon, causing the water to
wash out the bottom of the slip into
the excavation made near the end of
the slip by the Pacific. The Federel
contract has nothing to do with deep
ening the slips, and therefore Captain
Common claims the action of the Kinau
was not in good form.

Sketch Of Mrs. c. O. Maltby.

Mary r. Gilbert was born in Hills
dale, Columbia County, N. Y, Sept.
l6, 1888, and when eight years of age
moved with her parents to Lake coun-
ty, Ill. When nineteen years of age

with the husband, one sister and four
brothers survive her.
Mrs. Maltby has been poorly for
the last six years, and during the
six weeks prior TO her death was a
constant sufferer. She was patient
and submissive through it all, until
last Wednesday. Aug. 18th. at 6 80
a. IN. she passed TO her reward in the
hope of that Immortality which had
been her comfort during the years of
her life.
Throughout the many years she
lived in this county she gained many
warm friendships and wide
acquaintance, all of whom esteemed
her highly for her kindly disposition
and many womanly graces, and her
demise will be generally mourned.
The funeral services were held
from the home in Hesper township
Friday morning at ten O'Clock, Rev.
DR.. H. II. Green of this city officiat-
ing, with interment in Phelps ceme-
terry in Decorah. An unusually large

little left to be desired. The name
is derived from the eagles eyrie.
which still can be seen high up on the
face of the greenish crag near the
entrance. The formations are of the
same nature as those of the Garden of
the Gods, but of different shape, the
material being the same red sandstone
but sculptured by nature into pillars
and pinnacles. There are about 1000
acres in the place, and it is alto
gether natural park, full of dense
groves of beautiful trees, many cover
ed with vines. Down the canon
tumbles sparkling mountain stream,
among the tangled shrubbery of
which grows many of the choicest
wild flowers known to the Rocky
Mountain region. Rustic bridges
span the stream at frequent intervals,
marking the course of beautiful
driveway kept up by Gen. Palmer for
the use of the public. the grounds being
lighted by electricity at night.
Here and there are quaint, old fash.
ioned, cozy lodges, where the en-
ployes live. About the homestead is a
garden wall" and within it a beauti-
full parked lawn, dotted with hand.
some flower beds. fountains. shrubs,
walks, etc. There is also a green
house, coach barns. and various out.
buildings. But the one great sight to
see is the elegant mansion home,
at the foot of the mountain. 1t was
erected at a cost of million and a
half, and is built of moss rocks
gathered from the mountains, trimmed
with Bedford stone 1t is said that
it took 65 stone cutters five months
to cut the stone for the building.
The architecture is of the old
English castle style, and is beautiful
and quaint beyond description.
One of the principal natural points
of interest is Major Domo, a great
shaft towering 125 feet in the air,
larger at the top than at the base.
Beyond the glen lies Queens Canon,
adding much of beauty to the sur
roundings.
Gen. Palmer is doing wonders for
Colorado Springs. He is reputed to
be worth over $40, 900, 900. with an
income of S., 600 per day, which he
is trying TO spend for the pleasure of
the people of that city. He erected
the magnificent Antlers Hotel at a
cost of nearly million dollars, has
constructed and maintains numerous
driveways along the mountain sides
at enormous expense. and is now en-.
gagged in parking the land along the
railroad tracks for several miles across
the city.

ing few Days in this City Of Delightful
Climate. Magnificent Scenery and
Beautiful Homes.

In our last issue we attempted to
describe briefly the Elks reunion at
Denver, and give some impressions of
that city.
After most delightful week in
Denver we started for Salt Lake City,
via Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Glen
wood Springs and Grand Junction.
The trip was made over the Denver
& Rio Grande, probably the grandest
scenic railway in the world, and
was continuous succession of pleas
ing surprises.
From Denver to Colorado Springs
is two-hour ride along the foothills
of the Rockies, past Palmer Lake.

of Colorado, and through numerous

north, by taking few steps TO the
top OF the rocks on the left, one may
obtain good view of the famous
sandstone rocks, two parallel ridges
of ragged sandstone stretching away
for miles toward Cheyenne Mountain.
Before reaching the Gateway, the
Cathedral Spires will attract atten-
tion, both by their stupendous size
and marvellous beauty. The Gateway
is the grand feature, however. and
here the thoughtful observer may
we'll pause. Two immense slabs of red
sandstone, soft and beautiful in their
coloring. tower over three hundred
feet high on either side and seem to
challenge the right of the stranger to
enter the sacred portals. The extreme
height and at the same time the
narrowness of the slabs at the base,
as we'll as the many and varied color
ings of these great rocks, elicit at
once the wonder and admiration of
the beholder. In close proximity
may be found limestone, gypsum,
white sandstone and red sandstone,
each representing different ge-
illogical era, and each in all proba-
bility representing thousands of years
in its formation.
| The Garden of the Gods is so called
because it was once the worshiping
place of the Indian. In the echoing
cave he heard the voice of the Great
Spirit. and in the fantastic forms he
saw the images of his divinities.
Once within the Garden, the beholdeI
finds never ending interest in the
strange, wierd figures, dressed in
garish array, which surround him on
all sides. The imagination easily
sees in these forms the representatives
of living beings, and trip through
the Garden, especially if accompanied
by a good guide, is of unflagging
interest and pleasure from the time
of entering near the Balanced Rock,

point one may view Pixies Peak and
the surrounding territory through a

out through the awe-inspiring Gate
way on the other side.
We found time the same afternoon
to visit also Glen Eyrie, the beau
tiful mountain home of Gen. Palmer
a wealthy miner. railroad owner ant
capitalist. This beautiful retreat
so attractive in its sequestered solitude
lies about two miles north of the
entrance to the Garden of the Gods,
and is the most beautiful place of tn,

a magnificent canyon, nestled at tn,

Within radius of few miles may
be found some of the grandest scenery
of the world. There is so much to see
worth seeing several times over that
one could profitably spend an entire
season among the many points of in
terest about Colorado Springs. We
found time in the few days that we
were there to hurriedly visit some of
the most famous places. During the
afternoon of our first day in the city
we drove through the Garden of the
Gods, probably the most noted and
most frequently visited of all the
points of interest in the Pixies Peak
region. 1t is situated about five miles
northwest of Colorado Springs and
can be reached by carriage by two
different routes. Admission is free
to the public, and the roads are kept
up by the county. On approaching
the immense slabs of red sandstone,
which are the striking feature of this
locality, the close observer will no.
tice that the strata run up and down
instead of laterally, making it evident
that these formations. which are sedi-
mentary in their origin, have been
raised from their original position
and placed on edge by some great
convulsion of nature, probably the
same upheaval which formed Pixies
Peak and the adjacent range. On
reaching the crest of the hill, going

most of the journey Pixies Peak is in
sight, its great peak towering hun
dreds of feet above the mountains tops
about it, like a mighty sentinel,
standing guard over the wonders of
natures handiwork and mans de-
velopement on every side.
Colorado Springs is probably the
best known of an.year-round summer
resorts of Colorado, and is to our mind
one of the most attractive and beauti-
full cities in America. 1t is the cent
raj point of the wonderful Pixies Peak
region, and has so many natural
advantages and such delightful cli-
mate, that thousands of tourists are
attracted there throughout the entire
year. 1t has population of 10000,
lies midway between Denver and
Pueblo, and stands at an elevation of
6, 600 feet on the edge of the plains at
the foot of Pixies Peak. To the west
and adjoining it is Colorado City, a
manufacturing and railroad city of
over 5, 200, and beyond that Manitou,
the great summer resort, with 1900
people. While it is pre-eminent
rendezvous for invalids and tourists,
it also has great commercial i'm.
portance from the fact that it is the
midway gate to the western section
of the state. The greater proportion
of the wealth of the Cripple Greek
gold district is centered at Colorado
Springs, where the wealthy miue
operators and owners reside in mag.
nificent palaces amid the most admir-
able surroundings. 1t is said that
thirty eight millonaires reside in
that city, a greater number in pro
portion to it's size than anywhere else
in America. The streets of the city
are 100 feet wide and the avenues 140
the residence lots are laid out ON the
same generous scale, and everywhere
is an air of beauty. magnificence, rest
recreation and enjoyment. The ex
hilerating air, together with dry an6
even climate, give this city an ideally
healthy and enjoyable climate. Ii
summer, the hot, sultry days character
istic of this section are unknown
while the rigors of winter are scarcely
ever felt. In fact. the average mum
Der of days of cloudless sky is 200
with III days partly cloudy, so tina,
there are 3l7 days in the year that one
may indulge in outdoor life.
The city has many magnificent
hotels, one costing million dollars,
water supply costing over million,
coming direct from the mountain
springs and producing the purest water
in the world thirty-two miles of elec
trio railway; sewerage system costing
800. 900; seventeen expensive public
