Pixies Peak Climb
In Touring Car
Rocky Mountain Region Startled by
Feat of Studebaker six Through
Rain and Snow

This article was not paid adver-
tisement, but was taken from the
automobile section of twin city daily.
eve will pause here moment, la
dies and gentlemen, to allow you to
contemplate the sight of lifetime
an automobile making the ascent OF
the peak"
Thus spoke the "spieler" on the cog
railroad that scales Pixies peak, to
delegation of touring Knights Templar
and their wives.
The car, long rakish Studebaker
"Six" of touring model and carrying
five men, had already passed the tim
Der line that marks an elevation of II, :
700 feet, and was engaged in a battle
with the bare granite mountainslde
which was, in many places, as steep as
The roof of house.
It's course was an alternate series OF
rushes, punctured with pauses, when
the crew piled out and rolled big
rock out of the way or filled gullies IN
the trail which had been abandoned
more than 10 years ago, on the COM
pletion of the railroad.

High School Squad
Defeats Dawson
A Lively Foot Ball Combat Took
Place at Lakeview Park Last
Saturday
SPECTATORS MUST NOT CROWD
Redwood Boys Succeed in Gaining
Through TOuchdowns and One
Goal Kick
ECTATORs MUST NOT CROWD

1t was a wee bit warm for genu-
inc, spirited foot ball game last Sat-
urday; but somehow the boys of the
local High School were in exception
ally good trim.
The game was called promptly, on
schedule time and the maroon and
white entered upon the gridiron with
naughty spirit that was manifest
throughout the game. The Dawson
boys, too, showed the making of a
good live team and one worthy to en-
ter the contest.
From start to finish the game was
full of vim and spectacular exhibits.
The goals were made in the first,
second and last quarters, principally
through line and end plays. Several
very successful and pretty forward
passes were made by Redwood, that
brought cheers from the enthusiastic
spectators.
The Dawson team showed up splen-
didly and would have made goal had
it not been for bad pass when with
in reach of touchdown. They were
game to the very last and fought hard.
The final score was 10 to 0.
The Redwood boys have improved
immensely and to the coach, Prof.
Jordan is due much credit. Through
his guidance we look forward with
interest to 1913 championship team.
Beware of Foot Ball Rules
Prof. Jordan caused the home team
to be penalized fifteen yards, at time
when Redwood had the ball within
one-half yard from the goal. This
NAV have seemed to be an injustice
to the team, but Mr.. Jordan believes
in playing the game according to the
rules provided for it, and in justice
to the opposing team.
The rule book states plainly that
should anyone but the players and Of
ficials be caught on the field during the
game, the home team is subject to
penalty of fifteen yards.

WHEN Gust Of LIVING VAS HIGHER

According to a report lately issued by the
British board of trade, government depart
nent, the cost Of living in the United Kingdom
is not higher today than it was about thirty
years ago, or in 1884, and is actually lower than
it was in the years 1871 to 1884, by q percentage
varying from 10 to 81 per cent. As the rise in
prices of necessaries in recent years has been
worldwide the evidence of this fact being the
chief feature OF the British report, according to
q review of it in the London Spectator prob.
ably high prices in the former times mentioned
we're also universal. As to the United States,
the statistics available at present writing begin
with the year 1890, yet they contain evidence
that the American situation correspondcd to TIM
Isritish in the years in question.

AN EFFICIENT OFFICIAL.

From an unofficial source it is
learned that the department is con-
templating the transfer of Omar l..
Babcock, agent of the Colorado
If such a move is contemplated it
is the opinion of this paper that Mr..
Babcock's transfer at this time would
be detriment to the service and
to the work which has been
inaugurated under his administration.
While it may be the opinion of
the officials of the department that
Mr. Babcock's services would be
valuable to some other Indian tribe
We feel confident that no other Of
jicial could be placed in charge here
who could perform the duties of sup
erintendent more efficiently or hon
estly than the present sup
erintendent. Especially at this time
is the change, if there is to be
a change, to be deplored, as the
Indians of this reservation are just
now receiving their allotments and
making great preparation for the till
ing of their lands this coming spring
It would take a new man some time
to familiarize himself with local con-
ditions and with the conditions of
the local Indians. Mr.. Babcock lis
thoroughly familiar with these con-
ditions, having been on the ground
for the past two years. Before the
opening of the reservation there
are liable to many intricate ques-
tons arise relating thereto, and as
in this connection, it appears to us
that to try out new man at this
time would be a grave mistake on
the part of the Indian Service.
Not only with the Indians is Mr..
Babcock exceedingly popular, but
he is also held in the highest es-
TEEN by tn people of Parker,
with whom he comes in contact
more or less in business way The
people here have always found him
courteous and fair in every, way and
would regret to see him moved to
some other field. There are few
Indian agents in the service who
look after the welfare of the govern
Ireit's wards more faithfully than
does Mr.. Babcock, and it is sin
cerely hoped that the department will
see its way clear to keep him ON
the job in Parker for a long time

scroll of the heavens. Long after the
earth with its pomp and vanities has
crumbeld to cosmic dust, or vanished
into some other system, the light
waves flashing eternally through
space will continue to carry the
comparatively brief story of man and
his deeds.
If we travelled still farther out in-
to space, and caught up with the
light waves that left us, say APO
years ago, we would see Columbus
discovering America. The waves
that left us 700 years since would
give us the picture of Runnymede,

light years from the earth speed
the waves that bear the story OF
Caesars fame and the glory that was
Rome's. Still farther out, HURTING

the dusty corridors of time, a picture
of the earth when it was void and
without form, ages and ages before
that wonderful creature, man, had
entered the arena of life.
