PASADENA, Aug. 2S.-Wilson's g
peak, one of the most restful and at
tractive mountain resorts in California
has been popular mecca for Pasadena
people seeking recreation this summer.
Those who have been so agreeably en-
tertained by the present management
on the Peak will be glad to know that
it is to be continued.
A report published today that the
managenent would pass into new
hands in short time Is mistake.
Manager Beard states that his lease
does not expire until October l, 19OS,
and he knows nothing of change In
management being made. The Toll
Road company, of which ]. III. Holmes
w r. Staats and Mr.. Wright are the
principal stockholders of the resort
property and they lease to Mr. Beard.
No new improvements are contemp-
lated except dancing pavilion. 1t Is
believed that this will be erected some
time before the approaching winter
The buildings on the mountain are al
ready wired for electricity. but there
is no hope of delivering the current
there till an electric railway is built
to the peak.
When this will be done is proble-
matical. A survey was made last year
by way of Eatons canyon and move
was on foot for the building of rail-
way by the Toll Road company and the
Carnegie observatory people jointly.
But negotiations failed to bring an
agreement between the parties as to
apportioning the expenses and the OBJ
servatory directors proceeded to grade
the dirt road which Is now in use.
On account of storms in the noun
tains in the winter season it would be
difficult to maintain an electric light
circuit up the mountain side under
present conditions.
Accommodations on the peak have
been taxed to about their full capacity
several times this summer and Strains
camp has about 200 people. Martins
camp is closed this summer on account
of the buildings being wrecked by the
heavy SHOWS last winter. They will
be moved to the top and rebuilt near
the observatory to add to the facili-
ties there where they have been
crowded this summer.
Four mule teams have been put on
the new road to the observatory which
was built for the auto truck That
machine was found to be inadequate
for the heavy work to be done and was
taken off the trail Heavy mules were
purchased and now the structural steel
for the five-foot telescope Is being
hauled up by three of these teams
They make the round trip in day. and
each team draws a load of two tons.
Several days were required to make a
trip with the auto truck and danger OF
accident was greater with 1t than with
the mll< teams. 1t is thought that by
doubIrsiec ,up teams there will be nc
srGTs difficulty in transporting to
leak by mule power the sixty-inch
lena now nearing completion at the
SantAr barbara street shops here.
