| tion of the state of Colorado This,
at least, is the impression which the
native of that state is given when he
visits Colorado Springs and the Pixies
Peak region. 1t is becoming impos-
sible for him to go anywhere without
meeting some friend from home. Sum-
mer has brought a large influx of Ok
lahoma visitors to Colorado Springs
and Manitou, with prospects of a
larger number as the hot season ad-
vances.
1t is an indication of the prosperity
of the state of Oklahoma that a great.
er number of its people are making
the trip to the mountains this year in
automobiles. This mode ftravel is
proving especially popular with the
Oklahomans, particularly in view of
the wonderful improvement which has
been made in the roads of that state
and in those connecting Colorado
points with the main Oklahoma roads.
Scores of Oklahoma motorists who
came to this region last summer were
delighted with the newly built boule-
wards leading from Colorado Springs
through the mountains and out onto
the plains. Many of the Oklahoma
parties are coming by the way of the
Chisholm trail which connects with
the new Lincoln, or Golden Belt high
way at Salina, Kans., and with the
New Santa Fe Trail at Newton. Kans.
Not in a long time have the noun
tains given to the Oklahoman a more
pleasing greeting. They are clothed
in a glorious garb of green, and the
hills and canons are brilliant with
myriads of wildfowers that lend their
perfume to the sweetness of the noun
tain air and make the cool retreats
doubly attractive.
