The dangers of travel by sea at this
time have played havoc with the
nerves of timid passengers.
Early one morning recently there
was considerable commotion on the
decks of a coastwise vessel pl. ug be-
tween Savannah and Baltimore, when
4 scantily clad man hurried from his
stateroom and dashed toward the up

Before congress closed its sixty

government granted this right-of-way

road, it did an unprecedented thing.

ices are installed, insuring communi-
cation along the entire trip.
The highway will be open to any
motor car. and automobile men
claim that any good driver will be
able to make the trip.
Undoubtedly the Pixies Peak high
way takes its place as the greatest
and highest in the world. Stelvio
pass, the highest carriage road in Eu-
rope. in the Alps between Italy and
Austria. has never been opened to the
automobile.
While there were many difficulties
the construction of this highway was
not a hard task for the modern engi-
neer. For part of the way from Cas-.
cade it follows the general line of the
old carriage road built in 1888.

Every mile of the highway to the

route goes through beautiful Manitou
and then into Ute pass. a 3O-mile cleft

Indians used to come to Manitou

the highway proceeds. Often. as the
motor climbs, it will be enveloped in
a fleecy cloud. Higher and higher the
car climbs. but the grade is so easy
that one does not realize that he is at
the summit until he can see the world
about him, east. west, north and south.
Sixty thousand square miles of seen

u Pixies Peak. More than a
century ago Lieut.. Zebulon
Montgomery Pike discovered
the mountain which now
bears his name. and. accompanied
by his little band. made a de-
termined effort to reach its summit.
1t cost him ten days of marching to
reach its base. and after a laborious
ascent which brought him only to the
crest Of one of the nearby mountains,
he was forced to give up the attempt,
predicting in his diary that no human
would ever scale its rocky heights.
Thirteen years later, however. DR.. Ed
win James with a portion of the ex-
ploration party under Mai. s. H. Long,
found an easier approach from the
eastern side and after hazardous
climb reached the summit on July IA,
1919.
Then came the United States gov
ernment engineers who constructed a
winding trail from Manitou to the top
of the great mountain and built there
an experimental station that study
might be made OF weather conditions
three miles above sea level. This
led to the building of carriage road
from Cascade in Ute pass to the top
of the mountain; and almost stimuli
taneously there came the cog railroad.
1t was built in 1890. making the ascent
in nine miles from its Manitou depot.
This is one OF the most famous of the
worlds mountain railroads.
And now in 1915 comes the supreme

Thos. Pulliam, Superintendent of the State Industrial School at Fort Grant, was a Williams visitor Tuesday. MT. Pulliam has had charge of the institution since the first of the year and is the right man in the right place. He is en- thusiastic about his work and at all times has the good of the boy first in mind. In fact he makes his work a study and is always looking for the thing that will make the boy who has made mistake come out of the institution a better citizen. He looks at the mistake a boy makes from boys view point, and then gives the advice of man. His boys have learned to trust him and that is the first step toward a successful superintendent.
