WONDERS
OF AMERICA
THE DEVILS TOWER
BY T.T.MAxEY
8. western Newspaper Union.

THIS peculiar freak of nature
/ which has become one Of Uncle
Sans Nationa. Monuments, is located
near Sundance in northeastern wyo-
ming. Ii is gigantic rock, 900 feet
high. probably 60 feet In diameter at
the top and mile around at the
base. Rising sheer from the level
for almost hundred miles.
Undoubtedly this tower was useful
TO primitive races as well as to early
pioneers as a landmark. It's thought
that during the subsequent Indian
wars members of the Sioux and Grow
tribes directed their marches by the
aid OF fires and other signals flashed
from this ever-visible tower.
AS one approaches this monsuous
rock, his amazement and awe In
creases. because II seems Incredible
that any force OF Nature could have
carved this solitary monument.
To climb 10 the top would seem an
impossibility, yet IL is said that a
number of years ago a man and q
woman accomplished this feat sue
cessfully.
Now that the war is behind us and
Uncle Sam has more time TO devote
to home matters. ii seems not unlikely
that he may deem II advisable to
send an expedition to the top of his
new possession and cause a series Of
stairways TO be constructed for the
accommodation and convenience of
venturesome tourists bent on getting
acquainted with their own country.

and is constructed of California gran

Within the tower is an immense
