The Jasper news., 1906-08-30
c.. W.. STRATTON

ceived great deal OF information re.
garding the Ft. Collins district. The
next day the doctor very kindly took US
on drive of several hours, goibg through
the grounds OF the state agriculture col
legs, which is located at that place, and
also to the new. town Of Wellington To-
Gated twelve miles north Of FIT. Collins.
In making the drive to Wellington We
passed through some of the best sugar
beet country in Colorado. This was one
Of the most pleasant side trips We made
while in Colorado and would like to give
IN entire chapter in describing the coun.
try but lack Of time and space prevents.
We tspent Saturday night with DR..
Goodiug and family. All are well and
seem to be delighted with their new
home. The doctor has nice office down
town and s gradually building up a
practice. He says no feels like a new
man. His Office is mile from his res
idence aud the fact that be walks back
and forth three times a da, is evident
that his health is considerable better
than when he left Jasper. He has great
faith in the fniure Of Ft Collins district.
From Ft Collins We went to Boulder.
\ Boulder is one Of the prettiest towns in
Colorado and is quite an educational
center. 1t is the seat Of the Suite Uni
versity and has Chautauqua assembly
which holds five weeks session each
year. Boulder is right at the foot ol
the mountains and while there We bad
our first experience OF mountain climb
ing, After a great deal OF perseverance
: we scaled one OF the highest peaks to be
seen from the city and the panorama
which met our eyes was beyond descrip
tions. The city beneath looked like 9
collection of toy houses and the people
8 were almost undiscernable.
. When tcnderfoot attempts to de
: scribe the mountains he is liable to "fal
: down." for lack OF adjectives, SO we will
not attempt to go very deep into de
scription OF these mighty works'of God
II a fellow is inclined to think that b.
is somebody" let him stand by the sid
of one Of these mountains, and see hoV
small he really is. ~
As most people know, Pixies peak
the most conspicuous Of all the peak
as one approaches from the east. w
have always supposed that this was tn
e. highest leak in Colorado, but wa
somewhat surprised to learn that ther
are twenty ifive peaks higher Than Pike
peak in that state. ).
\ There ate number OF side trips int
