region. MdcnlneS bearing OKlanOma
pennants or decorated with the state
flower are daily in evidence on the
streets OF Colorado Springs, Colorado
City and Manitou and upon the various
roads leading from these cities into
the mountains.
The exodus of automobile parties
from that state to the cool mountains
Of the Pixies Peak region began some
weeks ago and every day adds to the
list. Already more than a score of
machines have been registered with
the city clerk of Colorado Springs,
The condition OF both the Golden
Belt road, which leads direct to Pixies
Peak, and OF the Santa Fe trail, which
follows the Arkansas river through
Colorado to Pueblo and there connects
with the road northward to Colorado
Springs, is reported by incoming mo-
torists to bs good. The Chisholm trail
which connects with the Golden Belt
highway at Salina, Kans., and with the
new Santa Fe trail at Newton, Kans.,
seems to be favored route with most
of the Oklahoma parties.
The Oklahoma bunch is determined
to again carry off the handsome silver
trophy cup offered to the state with
the largest number of machines in line
in the automobile parade, which is
one of the features of the Colorado
Springs summer carnival. The earn
ival dates this year are August 27-27-
20. Last year Oklahoma and Texas
were the leading competitors, Okla
homa winning. There were $50 Okla
homa cars in the parade in 1911 many
of them beautifully and artistically
decorated, and all carrying the state
pcnnant.
Oklahomans who are summering in
Colorado Springs and the Pixies Peak
region all bring tidings of the pros
poets for an excellent crop in that
state this year. They tell the visitors
whom they meet from Illinois, Ohio,
Texas. Kansas, California, New York
and other states that Oklahoma never
was in better condition than at pres
ent. The wheat crop, according to
their reports, seems to greatly exceed
the expectations of the farmers. Corn
cotton and forage crops never looked
better at this time of the year, and
if the season continues good few
weeks more, the state will harvest the
greatest acreage crop in its history
If there is any one more enthusiastic
about his home state than the Okla
homan, he has failed to appear in Colo
rado Springs or Manitou this summer
