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 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 it's rocky heights.
Thirteen years later, however, DR.. Ed
win James with a portion of the ex-
ploration party under Maj S. H. Long,
found an easier approach from the
eastern side and after a hazardous
climb reached the summit on July IA,
1919.
Then came the United States gov
eminent 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 a 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

structive ability of the American en-
gineer has won another triumph, for

agement of the highway. The gov
eminent and the company agreed that
safety first" should be the ruling
principle in the construction and OPP
Grafton Of the highway, and those who
have made the trip over the first
twelve miles marvel at the easy
grades, the wide roadway and the un-
usual precautions which have been
taken to insure maximum enjoyment
of the wonderful scenery and to give
even the timid feeling of absolute
security as the motor car climbs
steadily upwards.
1t is 81 miles from Colorado Springs
to the top of Pixies Peak by the new
road. The actual highway is IL miles
in length from the point where it runs
into the Pixies Peak ocean-to-ocean
highway in Ute pass, at an elevation
of 7,415 feet, so that it's total rise is
6,746 feet. The average grade is six
degrees with a maximum of ten de-
grees, and there are only two places
where the grade does not rise.
Safety and Convenience.
The road bed is 20 feet wide and
this is increased to 26 feet on curves,
making it possible to be double
tracked all the way, with frequent
turnout" or stopping places provided
in case of tire or engine trouble. The
bridges, with concrete parapets, are
located on tangents, so they may be
seen at a distance of 800 feet. They
are built of steel and concrete. Signs
conveying cautions have been erected
along the route. Six water stations
have been established at intervals OF
three miles for cooling and retilling
purposes, and gasoline stations are To-
Gated at the roads terminals. Expert
repair men are always at hand for
duty and telegraph and telephone serv-

and construction gangs are pushing
rapidly the grade of this road through
bowlder fields way above timber line
to the summit. On the first day of
September there was opened to travel
the first twelve miles of the highway,
which connects with the Pixies Peak
Ocean-to-Ocean Highway in Ute pass
at Cascade, ten miles west Of Colorado
Springs and five miles west of Man
itou.
Built by Private Capital.
Before congress closed it's sixty
third session, it granted the right-of-
way for an automobile road that would
traverse the Pike national forest and
wind it's way UP the northern slopes
to the top of the peak. When the
government granted this right-of-way
through a national forest for a toll
road, it did an unprecedented thing.
But there were good and sufficient
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-10-29

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 it's place as the greatest
and highest i'm 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.
Scenery Is UnexceIIed.
Every mile of the highway to the
summit is crowded with scenic inter-
est. From Colorado Springs the
route goes through beautiful Manitou
and then into Ute pass, 30-mile cleft

Indians used to come to Manitou
to drink of the mineral waters there.
Amid a profusion Of Wild flowers,
through groves of pines and aspens,
the highway proceeds. Often, as the
motor climbs, it will be enveioped in
a f1eecy cloud. Higher and higher tho
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

be viewed from the seat OF the motor
car. There below is Colorado Springs,
it's broad avenues and boulevards
cleaning in the sun. Far out into
eastern Colorado are the farms, little
green patches upon the drab prairie.
Back in the chasms west of the peak
are grotesque formations. and on the
western horizon are the snow-capped
Sangre de Christie and the giant peaks
of the great continental divide. At
the summit one can SNOWFALL In Au-

ters?"
Miss Graham"
"Whew!" said Bramwell. Engaged,
aren't they?"
They stared at each other and then
smiled. There was small hope OF re-
covering the plans, but at least it
seemed to them that they were on the
trail.
John Peters, President Feggis' Sec
rotary, and Nancy Graham, his stenog-
rapher, had practically the run of the
office during the presidents absence.
The inquisition had narrowed itself
down to them. Nobody else could pos
sibIy have been guilty. Peters had en-
tered the presidents employ in his
present capacity five years before,
Miss Graham seven. She had worked
lars a week, and there existed some
feeling against her, not only on the
part OF the girls who were now her
subordinates, but among Bramwell
and Lewis, who resented the fact that
she and Peters occupied practically
Independent position during the presi-
dent's absence.
In spite of the heads precautions
the story of the theft leaked out. In
sensibly the suspicion of the office
force was directed toward the occu-
pants of the mahogany-furnished room
where Peters and Nancy worked to-
gether And insensibly Nancy felt
that chilling suspicion enter her own
heart.
There was, in reality, little room for
private talk between them, even II
they had been so minded. The presi-
dents office, fitted with transparent
windows that looked out directly upon
the general office, allowed both occu-
pants to be seen at all times. Often
Nancy would look up from her work to
see dozen pairs of eyes watching her.
They were to have been married
that spring. The marriage had been
postponed when the crisis compelled
the cutting down of salaries. John
was making only forty-five a week
now, a sum ample for their needs, only
Nancy, with memories of a life of pow
ertv behind her, did not intend to
start life, giving up her position af-
ter her marriage, without substantial
bank account. And she would not
work when she was married. She and
John were old-fashioned people, and
neither believed in that

after that a substantial raise at some
