made show that the operations of the

women stalked their prey finding vic.

PIKE NATIONAL PARK TO
CONTAIN ESQ SQUARE MILES

According to present plans, the
proposed Pixies Peak National park,
for which the Chamber of Commerce
plans to expend its energies during
the coming year, will extend about 10
miles south of the Peak; 20
miles north and will be about five
miles in width. including the Peak
itself. The committee which has been
discussing the boundary question has
mapped out its tentative boundaries
SO as not to include decided land or
land subject to mining claims and
the task has been a difficult one.
Whether or not the proposed area
will take in the city watershed has
not been determined.
The total area of the proposed park
will be about $50 square miles. This
is one of the smallest areas for ma
tional parks in the country, altho not
the smallest. At the present time
there are several communities plan
ming on campaigns for national parks.
including the Mount Whitney dis
tricts in California. The committee
feels that securing the national park
is one of the most important things
before the community and will bend
every effort toward this end. In all
probability some representative will
be sent to the convention of national
park superintendents in Washington,
when the local project will receive a
hearing Colorado Springs Tele-
