Persons who have never visited the
Rocky Mountains of Colorado often
find themselves speculating, idly or
otherwise, upon distances between the
leading localities most prominently
named in railrond and other advertise-
ments. Of course, one can look up
such information In guide books, but
a guide book is not always at hand
when discussions over distances arise.
Thousands of visitors make the trip
between Denver and Colorado Springs
without any definite idea whatever con-
cerning the distance between these
the East, North or South, Pike’s Peak
appea’-s to extend down into the very
streets of the city, while as a matter of
fact it is seven miles from there to the
Cog Road station in Manitou, and nine
miles from this point to the summit.
The shortest distance by rail from
Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek la
forty-seven miles, while if a atrln*
were Btretched on a “bee line" between
these points, It would measure lesa than
fifteen miles.
Ute Pass, extending from Manitou
to Divide, the top of the front, or Ram-
points Trains make It In about two
hours, hut as both speed and distances
are deceptive to the eye In the rarified
Colorado air, the laymen Is not sure
whether he traveled twenty-five miles
or 100 miles in a given time. The trav-
eler knows that Colorado Sui ings is
“somewhere near Denver,’ but how
many strangers know that it is exactly
seventy-four miles?
Denver is twenty miles from the foot-
hills, though to the Inexperienced eye
the distance appears all the way from
four to twelve miles. Very few people
not posted concerning the distance.

State Honored reputation, and is recognized eveiy where
as “The Banner School” .
In its infancy it had no buildings-no equtpments-
it now has a nice three story modern hrtek, thoroughly

It has grown from a mere something to the greatest
School of Commerce in Oklahoma. Its two schools of.
which either is greater than that of any other business
college concern is a demonstration of its growth an<*
prestige. ^ ^ expf,rience there was but little demand
for its students--to-day it cannot bo supplied and the
graduates are to-day 100 per cent more than that of 10
years ago..
