century ago Lieut.. Zebulon
IA 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.
II 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 it's rocky heights
Thirteen years later, however, DR.. Ed
win James with a portion of the ex-
ploration party under Mai. s. II. 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
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 simpl-
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
conquest of the mighty peak. The con-
structive ability of the American en-
gineer has won another triumph, for
