Street lights in Colorado Springs were extinguished and thousands watched the brilliant vari-colored lights on the summit, 14 miles away. The display, the third to be staged at the peak by the Adaman Club of this city, was visible for many miles in the clear air. It equaled 450,000 candlepower in illumination. Seven members of the club battled their way over the snowy wastes to the peak to light the flares, which had been left at the summit house by the cog_train on its last trip of the season. Four members of the club left here early Wednesday to blaze the trail, while the remaining three left early ypsterday. Thiee flares lighted at 9 o'clock last night gave the first news that the climbers had reached the peak. Storm clouds, which had obscured the summit during the afternoon, clear- ed away early in the night. The Adaman Club was organized as the outgrowth of a “Watch party” on the summit of the peak, December 31, 1922, in a_terrific blizzard, partici- pated in by five Colorado Springs mountain climbers. To the five who staged the first celebration the mext vear, another was added last year and | again this year. It is the idea of Fred Morath, founder of the club, to add a member to the roster each New Year until 50 have joined. Physical qualifications for member- ship are most rigid, as the midwinter climb to the summit of the peak, 14,109 feet above sea level, is a tagk which tests the hardest ,mountain climber. ts held | (1% FLOODS IN FRANCE REMAIN UNABATED Northwest Rivers Still Rising.
