To The Summit of Pike's Peak
Of all the things that invite the
tourist out for a day of pleasure
and sight seeing, a ride on the C«>g
Road to the summit of l'ike - Peak
is the crowning otic. We have
bean! mant tales of the danger of
going up. and how we would get
iek and how the altitude would af-
fect us until we were undecided
as to whether to go or not, until we
took a walk to the half way house,
and Finding the way safe that far
we derided to go to the top.
Mr. Mitchell and 1 started early
one morning and after a ride of 12
miles on the street car. we stepped
oil at the Cog depot, and found
many people anxiously waiting the
train, which soon pulled in and in
less time than I could tell you, the
coach was filled to overflowing and
numbers of disappointed ones left
to wait ten minutes for another
train.
We started, and as the train
moved up the mountain side,
climbing higher and higher, lovely
views were unfolded to us. and we
seemed to lie lifted to a purer and
higher plain of thought, as well as
a purer atmosphere. The moun-
tain stood out in bold relief above
us, its sides clothed in a garment
of green enibroidericd iu the love-
liest hues, with beautiful Mowers,
cliffs and crags as ornaments.
Above the cog road the burrow
trail wound around the mountain,
and here and there were groups of
merry boys and girls bound for the
summit, and along by the track
were those who had grown tired
from walking, and wore taking a
rest. After passing the Half Way

The next place was Windy Point,
con- two and one quarter miles from the
summit. There we stopped and
had our pictures taken, also regis- j
tered our names and they were put
in the Pike's Peak Daily News
printed at that point. Looking oil
to the left we saw the Sangrade

away. There we had to put on our

The length of time elapsing be-
tween the exposure of susceptible
cattle to infection by ticks and the
appearance of Texas fever among
tlicni is dependent upon the cli-
mate and the development of the
ticks. Thus, if northern cattle are
placed on pastures, in highways or
in pens or ears, etc., in summer,

Many cattle appear perfectly
healthy yet are infested with ticks
and have the fever parasite in their
blood. Sometimes the owners can
not understand why such animals
should be regarded as dangerous
to others, and consider il unjust
that they should be subjected to
quarantine restrictions. The fact
is that such cattle have usually
contracted the disease iii a very
mild form at an early age and have
been immuned to further attacks,
ii11hough still carrying the para-
sites in their blood. They are dan-
gerous because the fever parasite
in their blood may be at any time
transmitted to susceptible cattle by
ticks'
While the disease may produce
artificially by inoculating a suscep-
tible animal with the blood of ait
infected one, il is spread naturally
only by the tick.-, therefore, the dis-
ease can be stamped out and the
quarantine line can then be re-
moved.
The discovery of the part played
by the tickr- in the spread of lYxas
fever, was made hv tile Bureau ol
Animal Industry of the 1 nited
States Department of Agriciiltun
in 1891. and the same principle
has been found to apply to the
transmission of malaria and yellow
fever from man to man by mosqui-
toes, and the spread of ct rtain oth-
er diseases.

formation about the ticks and gh •
ing directions for getting rid of
them may be obtaind free, on ap-
