homa, Missouri and Kansas IN the IN
terests of good roads and the Pike.
Peak region as a summer play ground
arrived IN Hays, at 9 80 Friday morn.
ing, May 18th, and were greeted here
by many residents. During the stay
which was necessarily brief, owing tC
the crowded schedule, many members
of the tour party met with local peo-
pie and became better acquainted
and this, according to C.. W. Dolph,
one of the principal speakers on the
! trip is one of the prime objects of
theh trip. The tour party left Colo
RADIO Springs on May 8, and will re
turn May 18th.
I'VE have so many people from the
great southwest section in Colorado
Springs and Manitou during the sum-
mer months that we all Just wanted
to get better acquainted with you all
by coming down here" said Mr..
DOlph. "All of the town couldn't come
so they sent this bunch to tell you hel-
10, extend the glad hand of welcome
to the Pixies Peak region in case you
ing summer weather, the gorgeous
mountain scenery and so many things
that make a summer vacation enjoy
able.
Another reason for making this
trip is to arouse interest in good roads
and especially in the best-routes that
lead from this prosperous locality to
Colorado Springs The highway is
becoming one of the principal routes
that are taken by so many of the mo-
florists which spend weeks at time in
the Pixies Peak region during the
summer months.
cit is a peculiar thing but, follow
ing sociability tours of this kind,
which Colorado Springs has staged, a
great deal of interest in road mat
tiers has been the result. Everyone ben
efits and especially those communities
in which the actual work is being
done, the farmer knows the value in
dollars and cents in good roads. To-
day a regular network of good roads
leads to Pixies Peak region and it is
the motorists mecca" because it
has so many places for motorists to
go after they are in ii"
Mr.. Dolph, who is the official speak
er on the cruise of the Pixies Peak car
