The Rocky Mountains are ma- jestic; grand; awe-Inepiring. This isnot the first impression one geta, however, while rolling over the hot dusty ploins of Colorado, when the long line of cloud-shaped objects first appear above the wes- tern horizon, nor when @ nearer in- spection reveals the immense pilea of varied colored rocks, apparently preventing further progress in a western direction The feeling is rather of disappointment. But on baths from the hot sulphor springs are not excelled. Aside from the baths and the mountain scenery there ia little to attract the tourist. The editor of Tae Times fs jotting down these impressions from his tent, onthe mountain side, over- looking Manitou Springs, the Sara- toga of the west, in the shadow of Pike’s Peak, which is to hold is Centennial celebration next month. Captain Pike, the discoverer of this famous Peak and which bears his name never had the satisfaction of seaching its summit, or even its foot hills. In September 1806 he reported to the governmen that was within a day’s march. of a wonder- fal peak in the Rocky mountains covered with perpetual snow, which he would reach and explore. He was then on tho present site of Denver, After a day’s march his provisions gave out and he was fore- ed to return tohis camp.

One visiting here, where time is limited, with a desire to see the most of the mountain scenery should by all moans take the High Drive. A street car ride of twenty minutes brings you to Stratton’s Park, where a conveyance with driver can be secured at a reasonable price. The Drive leads up through north Cheyenne pass, through scenes of marvelous beauty and grandeur, to Bruin’s ‘Inn; then the drive turns abruptly up the mountain alde fol- lowing a grade of about 45 degrees until 1¢ reaches the summit. Much of the drive is in sight of the-Cripple Creek rail road, and its wonderful construction can be noted. A rest of an hour {s taken at the summit, while the driver feeds his team. An old Irish lady hasa hut here ard dispenses hot coffee and a good sub- stantial lunch. The descent is made, ending at Colorado City. It requires about four hours to make the ride. “Camp Allen” will be struck about the last of the month, when we will return to the best town in the best county in the best State, inhabited by the best people now on earth. tioncan people with fantastic shapes. mendous power that threw up these that controlled the power and gave weired shapes, wonderous beauty But man who has bridged the ocean, tunnelled the mountalos and brought all nature under hiscontrol, this great divide between the east and the west, but built his railroads through and over them, following the water courses, when practicable, otherwise climbing the mountain where, to one below, it would look hazardous for a mountain goat, or the patient, long-suffering and sure footed burro to find a safe footing.
