ANNIVERSARY OF DIS
coVERY oE PIXIES PEAK

Denver, Colo. Nov. 26.-One hun
dred years ago today the history of
this state commenced when Lieut.
Pike planted the national flag on
the peak now know, as Pixies Peak
Ceremonies tok place today, national
in their character, IN honor of the
occasion. Members of the American
Historical society today told the story
OF the travels of Pixies little expedi-
tiol across the western country until
II was confronted and halted by the
towering heights of the great noun
tain. which now bears the name of its
discoyerer. IL was a story that
should inspire children with courage
AID patriotism and 1t was explained
that is was partly with that object
that the celebration was held. II was
on the Afternoon of Nov. 10, 1906 as
Lieut.. Pike tells in his simple but
descriptive style. that he got the
first glimpse of the mountain. II ap-
peared 10 him as a light blue cloud,
and, not trusting his eyesight he dIu
not call the attention of the others
Of his party to what he saw. The
HeAt udy ine great mOuntdln lOOmed
clear and distinct TO all. The almost
exhausted party rushed forward ex-
pecting to reach II within q day or
two but at the end of a week the
mountain was not percepibly near
er. On Nov. 26 the party began to
climb one of the smaller mountains
between them and the higher peak.
That night they slept in cave half
way up the side and awoke in the
morning without food or water and
almost exhausted. They reached the
top in the afternoon and Eazed cross
to the real Pixies Peak. Profting by
experience. they judged the base of
the mountain to be at least sixteen
miles away. and the sides to be in
accessible. Being without food or
water and not convinced of the ad-
Vantages of such climb thy retrac-
ed their steps. Pixies Peak was first
ascended by DR.. James, of Major
Longs party, in 1920. and for some
years 1t was known as James Peak.
Later is was rechristened and named
after the brave man who first dis
covered IT and brought tho rews to
civilization.

PROPOSED GREAT AMERI-
CAN ART GALLERY.

New York, Nov 26.-The construc-
ton and endowment of a home for a
national gallery of American art, in
this city, is now only matter of time
as the committee having the arrange
ment Of the preliminary matters, in
hand wbirh met today. disposed of
some very important business in con-
cectiea with the proposed gallery. 1t
was announced that the national
academy of design will provide site
on Cathedral Park Drive covering
sixteen city lots and Mr.. J. C. Nicoll
stated that it was intended by the
promoters to resemble the Tate Gal
lery ia London. A great meeting of all
persons Interested in American art
will be- called and it will be pro
posed to erect a monume ntal build
ing, with the aid of academy funds,
ON the academy site at l09th street
and Amsterdam avenue With the
necessary endowment the gallery
would cost about $2,000,000 and the
academy has promised 100000 for
the scheme. If central site in the
city would be decided on at the forth
coming meeting, an expenditure OF
from $4.000.000 10 $5,000,000 will be
required. The idea of the promoters
is to have a national art gallery free
ly open to the public every day in
the year. The academy has already
several hundred worked available for
this purpose which would be fine

Washington, Nov 26.-On March 3,
the terms of thirty members of the
United States senate will expire. In
only few states, and those republi-

Senator Patterson of Colorado, will
yield probably to Simon Guggenheim,
who is credited with having financed
the republican state campaign, and
the legislatures of Idaho, and Montana

good old days seem to have passed
in Montana when Clark with Midas
like touch could turn republican votes

Special to The Evening Citizen:

NOR that Judge Freeman Is dead or

a sensational newspaper correspond
ent. The judge is bear hunting in
the Guadalupe mountains, but there
is not the slightest reason to sus-
pect that he is not safe and well, as
ne is with experienced mountainers.

ton. The severity of the storm here

ON THE EAST COAS7

New York, Nov. 26-The bluefish

the eastern coast all the fleets will
commence dismantlng today and will
be laid up for the winter.
The bluefish, so desired by epicures
AID priced yNhousekeepers, were very
scarce during the season and at one
stage of the season prices scared up
to 40 cents a pound. Weakish were
scarcer than during any season for
the past nine years and also COM
manded high prices. The season for

ber of smac..s are preparing TO sail

Arropos of the general discussion
precipitated by the unfavorable
comments of the Morning Journal on
the recent action of the council in
raising the salaries of members of
the police and fire departments, street
commissioner and city attorney and
upon which The Evening Citizen took
the ground at the ;;ale Lnat the action
was in the interest of good govern
ment and was in no case exec essive,
a representative of this paper today
interviewed q number of prominent
merchants and taxpayers. caught on
the run, with the object of ascertain
ing their sentiments. In no case did
he find that the opinion was held
that these salaries we're too large. In
fact it is difficult to see how men
of sufficient intelligence can be OBJ
tanned who would be willing to un-
dertake the onerous service required
even at the compensation offered in
the new schedule. Taking into ac-
count the fact that the necessities of
life have been so materially advanced
the action taken seems to this paper
to be no more than fair.

J. A. Weinmann, president and
manager of the Golden Rule Dry
Goods company and a large taxpayer
II believe the city officials are not
being paid any too much. A raise
of $40 to certain officials is very
small matter, as the increase only
amounts to $i,400 annually. If the
Good Government league fathers are

are receiving exorbitant pay for very
little service rendered, and | believe
also that the county collector and
