many mountains in the Colorado
Rockies that exceed $4,000 feet in

mic magnificence and availability for
public use and resort, was that por-
ton of the great range, of which Longs
Peak is the center, set aside for spec
ial development and administration.
This was done by Congress at its
last session. On July l Secretary Lane

Between these peaks are a number of
mountain lakes. nearly 200 of them.
These vary In size from a few acres up
to fifty or sixty acres. They are all
beautiful.
In this region there are not only
mountain peaks and mountain lakes
but there are many kinds Of wild life.
For instance, you have in this region a
great number of mountain sheep, an
animal as active and as alert and agile
as the chamois in the Alps. He ranges

"In addition to the mountain sheep
other big game are the grizzly bear

the beaver, is exceedingly common. In

The Eastland Horror

Once more calamity of frightful proportions
has visited the city of Chicago. The Eastland
disaster this morning even surpasses the awful
Iroquos theater catastrophe in the number of
lives lost Unknown to the thousands of pleas
ure seekers who thronged the decks of the excur
sion steamer as it lay at the wharf ready for
trip across Lake Michigan. Death was an unbid-
den guest aboard the ship. Probably nobody in
the vast crowd gave thought to the possibility
of such terrible accident. There was no more
apprehension of danger in the minds of the ex-
cursionists than there was to be found in the aud
fence at that Inflated matinee performance near
ly twelve years ago. In that holocaust more than
600 persons lost their lives and, in today's
