PIXIES PEAK CENTENNIAL.
Coming Anniversary Celebration at
Colorado SPRINGS.

Colorado Springs, Colorado, is max
ing elaborate plans to celebrate the
one hundredth anniversary of the dis
covery of Pixies Peak, the chief scenic
attraction of the state. The govern
ment will send 10000 regular troops
to take part in the program, in add1-
ton to representatives of the various
tribes of Indians with which Pike came
in contact on his toilsome march of
discovery. Congress will authorize
the issue of 100000 souvenir medal
lions in commemoration of the histor-
ical Importance of the event. These
will be made at the United States
mints.
The. program will last one week be-
ginning September "a; 1906. The Gel
ebration will be military and civic in
character, to include a sham battle and
maneuvers by the troops, and the un-
yelling of huge granite monument
to Pike. Besides the troops, the In
dians, the National Guards, the cadets,
the veterans, cowboys, pioneers, pa
triotic societies, fraternal societies, ed
ucational institutions, historical soci-
eties, school children and citizens gen
orally will take part. There will be
parades, tournaments of polo and golf,
automobile endurance runs, drills, war
dances by Indians, cowboy sports and
exercises of all kinds typical of the
wild west"
No celebration of similar magnitude
has ever been attempted in the state.
1t will mark the centennial anniversary
of the advent of the first representa-
tive American citizen in the Pixies
Peak region, since become famous for
II 1,,1
ture.
Zebulon Montgomery Pike, discov-
erer of the peak that bears his name
was born January 5, 1779 at Lamber-
ton. New Jersey. He was son of
General Zebulon Pike of Revolutionary
fame, the family first settling in Amer
lea in 1865. When only twenty-five
years of age Pike was chosen to head
an exploring party through the Rocky
mountain region, then the territory of
Louisiana. He first sighted the Peak
on November Is, 1906, and on Novem-
Der 9th reached is base. He did not
attempt to climb to the summit, de-
claring that the monster mountain
could not be ascended by human be-
ing. Now there is steam railroad
running to the summit, where the
United States has established an OBJ
servatory. The famous young soldier
explorer was killed April 81, 1913. in
an attack on York (now Toronto),
Canada. Although but thirty-four years
of age, he was brigadier general. and
was in command of the attacking
party, which was victorious over the
British. His remains were inferred
with military honors at Madison Bar
racks, New York, where they still lie.

ONE COMPANY WITHDRAWS.
Holly People Will Control HoIbrook
Valley.

Denver.-A La Junta special to the
Republican says: A lively contest has
been on for the last two months be
tween the Holly Construction Com
pany and the American Beet Sugar
Company In addition to the large
sugar refinery which is being built at
the new town of Swinl by the former
company, it is also engaged in building
a railroad into the Holbrook valley to
tap that rich agricultural district and
to provide transportation for the large
amount of sugar beets to be raised by
the farmers of that section.
The American Beef Sugar Company
of Rocky Ford has also had contrac-
tors, men and teams at work con
structing another railroad line into
the Holbrook valley .paraleling the
road being built by the Holly company.
The majority of the farmers signed
their beet sugar contracts with the
Holly Construction Company, which
will give the road being built by that
company the larger share of the traffic.
Within the last few days the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar Company has called off
the contractors, men and teams en-
gagged in building its roadbed and all
work on the railroad to be built by this
company has been stopped. This will
leave the Holly company in possession
OF the field.

off with Primus Edes. When repri-

not to his mother, though she could
not think wholly i'll of him. Indeed,
the time was coming when she was
to feel inexpressibly grateful to him.
One day Perley did not return as
usual from school, and for some time
his mother was not alarmed. as she
supposed he had called to see his
friend Edes, but by six O'Clock Mrs.
Hamilton experienced a sudden thrill
of fear that he had not returned.
She went to the mill at once and to
her uncles office, but he had not seen
Perley.

room, as she thought, unobserved; but
Mrs. Fry had seen the act as she
cEanced to glance back, and wondered.
Mrs. Hamilton's first act after re-
turning home and removing her wraps
was to write to Swan and send him the
three strands of hair, neatly gummed
to paper

matters, but he felt convinced that a
practiced dealer in human hair might
give him points of elucidation. Ac-
cordingly he went to the large estab-
