Road Being Built With Easy Grades
So Tourists Can Motor to Top.
Motorists turnout the country are
watching with much interest the rapid
progress which is being made in the
construction of the automobile high
way to the top of Pixies Peak. The
project, which is being financed by a
group of Colorado Springs business
men, is being constructed under the
supervision of the federal government;
A. G. Allan, an engineer of national
reputation, being in charge of the con-
struction.
This wonderful highway will be
twenty feet wide and have no grade of
more than 10 per cent, and will be one
of the greatest scenic and tourist at
fractions in the entire west. Motorists
driving across the country will be able
to pilot their own machines to the top
Of this far famed mountain, nearly
three miles above sea level.
The Pixies Peak Auto Highway, as it
is called, will be so safeguarded that
any motorist may drive a machine to
the summit without the slightest
danger.
The view from the summit of Pixies
Peak covers a wider scope of territory
than can be obtained from any other
point in the world reached by auto

mobile; a little over 10000 square
miles being visible to the naked eye
with downward view Of S,109 feet, or
nearly half a mile greater than the
Grand Canyon of Arizona.
The route of this highway follows
the general line of the old carriage
road to the summit. which General
William Tecumseh Sherman, in going
over the road with former Mayor
Heller Of Colorado Springs on July
II, 1889. pronounced to be the most
wonderful example Of mountain road
building he had ever seen.

Nuts a. Food.

Nuts form very concentrated form
of food, in many cases more so than
cheese, and when nationally used they
are readily digested and form part
of q well-balanced ration. Nuts are
plentiful in many localities and should
not be allowed to 60 to waste. A
pound Of walnuts will produce almost
three times as much energy as pound
of steak. Such being the case, would
not the use Of considerable, quantity
of walnuts. butternuts. and hickory
nuts be q valuable addition to the
households supply Of provisions?

Trenton. y. j., Jan. Is. An entire
section Of Trenton was almost wiped
out tonight by a fire that started in
the insulated wire department of the
John A. Roebling's Sons Company plant
along the Delaware and Raritan Canal.
The damage will amount to upward OF
$4,000 900 and some estimates place II
at S5.O00.000. although the officials OF
the plant cay this is high.
The fire spread with amazing rapidlty

flames. This building was 900 feet
long and employed upward of 600 men
night and day. The entire Trenton
Fire Department was called out, but no
headway could be made against the
flames. which spread as though they
were feeding upon OIL.
In less than an hour twenty-seven
homes in the vicinity were Cutted, IN
addition 10 the two big mills. The
flames spread to the John l.. Mott plant,
some distance away. but the damage
there was slight. The New Jersey state
prison is about a hundred yards dis
tant. and although at no time was the
institution in danger the guards had
much trouble in controlling the in
mates.
The loss in buildings is estimated at
about S50O,000, but the intricate wire
machinery, the stock, valued at hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and the
great contracts that the Roeblings had
under way will have to be counted IN
the estimates.
Although the Roebling officials have
never discussed the character OF the
work that kept these two plants work.
ing night and day when the rest Of
the mill was working half time, 1t is
fact that they were making trace
chains for the artillery Of the French
army. The chains were made presum-
ably for the Studebaker Company, but

for the French army.
Help came from Camden, Borden
