I'LL:

I arrived at the inn,' writes Mr.. Roper,
II was advised not to attempt the as
cent for several days on account of
the danger. l therefore waited until
the fourth day after the snow. Start
ing about seven in the morning, | rode
alone and without guide to Boulder
field, where the horse was left | had
some description of the appearance Of
the Keyhole, and it had been suggest
ed that perhaps / would find difficulty
in getting by the snow in the Trough
and might do better to climb the bowl
ders along the side. The geological
survey map constituted the rest of my
information about the ascent.
Walking across Boulder field was
somewhat sheltered from the wind,
which was blowing a gale from the
southwest. On reaching the KeyhOlc
I found the wind blowing against me
so strong that could hardly stand. |
therefore retraced a few steps, sat
down in the lee of projecting rock
and ate a portion of my lunch. It was
so cold that there appeared to be no
prospect Of rain at higher attitudes,
and / therefore left at this point my
knapsack, containing my raincoat, the
remainder of my lunch and few 9TH
er incidentals.
Cutting Steps in the Ice.
after leaving the Keyhole the gen.
eral direction of the trail was indi-
Gated by a few cairns, but they were
very scarce. The footprints in the
snow of party that had made the as
cent the previous day were Of consid-
cradle assistance and particularly so
in the Trough, where | found their
steps cut in the ice and crusty snow.
l did not have to cut more than six or
eight steps, and as had nothing that
could be used for the purpose except
my hunting knife this was very fortu-
nate
"The ascent from the Keyhole 20
the summit required an hour and thir-
ty minutes. In the Trough l was on
all tours about half the time and did
considerable climbing over and
amongst the powders. l would char
acterize the ascent as dangerous rath-
er than difficult. There was no snow
of any consequence except in the
Trough, although the notes in the
register on the summit showed that
the party had found two inches on the
summit the previous day.
81 had taken opportunity to enjoy
the many magnificent views on the
way up the peak, and it was fortunate
that did so, as there found storm
gathering, the clouds being about on
the level with the summit Of the peak
and snow starting to fall. l made a
slight tour of the summit and then
located and examined the register Of
the Colorado Mountain club.
Fighting Snow Storm.
"The snowfall rapidly increased, so
that in twenty minutes after reaching
the summit l started the descent, as
feared difficulty due to the snow cover

Seeks Land in Indian Reservation.

The state of Wisconsin wants about
1000 acres of valuable lands within
the Indian reservations of the state.
This want is of long duration, and
under memorials from the state leg
islature the delegation from the state
is asked to take up the fight anew to
see if these lands can be obtained AL
though it is admitted by the interior
department these lands are the prop
erty of the state under the swamp
laaA grant of 1850, the fact that later
the :ends were embraced within In
dian Reservations induces the Off
Gals of that department to decline
to patent the lands to the state pend
ing litigation to determine the actual
ownership.

tive campaign.

BUSY DAYS IN THE OLD TOWN


That Newark is on the boom is
apparent to even the casual visi-
tor. Practically every street in
town is the scene of building op-
erations, and contractors, build
ers, mechanics of every kind are
driven to desperation for laborcrs
TO carry on the work. Aside from
that part of the extensive college
extension plan already begun,
which represents an expenditure
of over half a million dollars,
houses are going up everywhere.
On Delaware avenue, in addition
to the New Century Club building
and Wolf Hall, three sets of dou-
BILE houses are nearing completion
under the supervision of J. Cliff
ford Willis. The dwellings, own
ed by Miss Addie Wilson, ale Of
pressed brick, solid and substan-
tial looking, 80 X 40 feet, contain
ing nine rooms and bath. They
are modern in every particular
and will fit in splendidly with the
towns need for just this type of
residence.
On Amstel avenue, opposite the
H. l.. Bonham residence, work is
progressing rapidly on the new
home of DR.. Walt Steel. The res
idence will be entirely of Folcroff
stone, finished throughout in hard
wood. 1t will contain twenty
rooms, including a suite of three
rooms on the southwestern corner
of the building, to be thoroughly
equipped in modern Office style by

CONDITIONS IN DELA-
WARE HIGH SCHOOLS
Relative Number Of Non-Res
dent Pupils

Owing to the states provision
for payment of tuition in town
high schools, for pupils in grades
7 to Il, inclusive, from rural dis
tricts, the high school enrolment
becomes an interesting subject of
study, as shown by advance re-
ports of State Commissioner of
Education DR.. Charles A. Wagner.
The proposition of rural pupils
in town high schools has been a
subject of frequent discussion.
The actual figures are as follows:
Total enrolment in grades 7 to
II in town schools-New Castle
county, $40; Kent, 90l; Sussex,
1174; total, 2715. Enrolled in
grades 7 and 8, 1926. Enrolled in
high school grades, 1889.
Number of pupils: resident
New Castle county, 471 Kent, $50;
Sussex, 872; in grades 7 and 8,
1886; in high school grades, 937.
Non-resident-New Castle county,
l79; Kent, 271; Sussex, 29l in
grades 7 and 8, 29O; in high school
grades, 452.
Enrolled in non-approved high
schools, As; nonresident pupils
enrolled in Wilmington High
School, 81; number of pupils re-
ceiving high school education, 937
resident, 588 nonresident.
The ASP nonresident pupils in
town high schools are 30 per cent
of the 1889 enrolled in high
school grades; thus one-third of
the pupils in town high schools
are nonresident or rural pupils.
For the State the computation
shows IA pupils enrolled in high
schools for each 1000 pupils in
elementary schools. In 1911 the
Russell Sage Foundation credited
the state with Sc high school pu-
pills for each 1000 in the element
ary schools, ranking the state 9th
At that time Minnesota had IA
high school pupils for each 1000
in the elementary schools, and
was ranked Goth of the 4S States
Actually, conditions are improved,
whether Delaware's relative posi-
tion is changed or not, for doubt
less other states have improved
conditions also. A slight correc-
tion for Delaware figures should
be made by allowing for high
school pupils who are atten ling
business colleges, academies, nor
NAL schools, and other private
schools, but the necessary figures
are not available. Actually, high
school patronage is improving.
