II With sssw, s.d vAea the reflections
frsa ~ setting sar strikes this
ssober peak it 10 . most wonderful
spectacle, especially o. . cold, clear
evening vhen the surrounding noun
tains are becoming dimmed with ap
preaching darkness, and the high peak
Of sopris is iightened from the setting
sun. 1t is sight worth while, and
gets . fellow thinking that it must
have been . truly Master Hand that
conceived such wondrous beauty.
Beyond any doubt, if Mt. Sopris
were rs well known and ~ well edver-
tissd Is Pixies Peak, there would be
thousands of tourists attracted out this
way, that now never get any farther
than the eastern slope. One, advantage
Of Mt. Sopris,-almost - high ~ Pixies
Peak-only q few feet difference, is
that clear, unobstructed view could
b had Of the vast area to the west
. Pssfect vision to the great Salt Lake.

The road builders At the state camp
are using fresnos-some call them
Buck Scrapers but fresnos are
what they are geaerally called, because
they originated in Fresno, California,
For road work they are hard to bea:
and also hard on a green hand and,
many are the knockout blows received
by "greenies' from the ever-ready
johnson bar, the lever that trips
the seraper. This bar got it, mon.
ieker Of Johnson bar from the fact that
it takes . good husky man to manipu-
late 1t. In many construction camps
big strong Sweeds were in great de-
nand, ~ they were the boys who
could do the trick to the queens TASTE,
naturally, it did not take long until
this lever was known ~ . "Johnssn-
fbar.o
Several years ago We tried our hand
with fresno while working for Smith
Bros. Construction camp, near Mont
rose. It was on the irrigation canal
built by the government to bring wa
tor from the Gunnison river to the dry,
prairie-doe infested lands Of the
Useenpahgre valley. Our rat-tailsd-
frickry plugs had ths habit Of stand
tae just - the fresno was being trip
