BIG TOURING CAR CLIMBS PEAK
Rocky Mountain Region Startled by
Feat of Studebzker Six

1--WE will pause here for a moment,
ladies and gentlemen, to allow you to
contemplate the sight Of a lifetime =
an automobile making the ascent of
the peak"
Thus spoke the "spieIer 'on the cog
railroad that scales Pixies Peak, to a
delegation of touring Knights Templar
and their wives.
The car, a long rakish Studebaker
six" of touring model and carrying
five men, had already passed the tim
Der line that marks an elevation Of
IL, 700 feet, and was engaged In bat
tie with the bare granite mountain
side which was, in many places, as
steep as the roof of house Its course
was an alternate series of rushes, pun
ctuated with pauses, when the crew
piled out and rolled big rocks out of the
way or filled gullies in the trail which
had been abandoned more than ten
years ago, on the completion of the
railroad. The last 900 feet of the
climb the rain changed to snow, which
added further difficulty to task often
pronounced impossible.
The cog train dashed for the summit
and it's passengers waded through the
gazed downward toward the invisible
world, more than 1900 feet below,
listening intently. Their wait was
short From almost beneath their feet
there came the hum of powerful mo-
tor, doing the bidding of its driver who
was calling on it for all it had. In a
clowd of snow flying from all the four
wheels, and bounding over the great
rocks which everywhere serried the
trail, the car fairly leaped the steep
gradient at the top and. with cheer
ing crew, pulled up on the little plateau
beside the government observatory.
The Studebsker is the third car to
make the ascent, it having been pre-
ceded by a little runabout OF the push
mobile type, and by light racing car,
the crew of which made good use of
an ingenious arrangement of blocks
and tackle. Nothing of this sort mark
ed the irst ascent of the peak by a
fully equipped touring car, nor had
there been any special preparation what
ever for the climb. The day itself was
most unfavorable, due to the weather.
