YEARS ago. To Pike’s Peak. That is what folks said years ago. They did not go to Pike’s Peak, but to the junction of Cher ry Creek with the South Platte river, where in the bed of the stream gold was found. Pike’s Peak was a landmark seen for hundreds of miles, and to get within seventy-five^miles of it was ‘‘getting there’’ in those days. The beautiful temperance city of Colo rado Springs, forty-nve miles south from Denver, is oetwesu Denver and Pike’s Peak, but there are no springs at Colo rado Springs. At the foot of the moun tains, five milee west, are springs, at Manitou, or in the garden of the gods, as some one named this grand, majestic locality, from which folks start on horses or mujes for the top of Pike’s Peafo and a chance to see the world below. We see into the valley of the South Platte. It comes out from a doorway in the mountains, about twenty-six miles south west from Denver, as the water came out of the rook struck by Moses. By the way, Moses was different from some people of to-day, as he was a suc cessful striker. See the crooked line of bright, green trees, thrifty cotton-wood, that mark the course of the river. See the belt of green' farms along the river, clear down to Denver, ana on forty miles north, -show ing where farmers arc getting in their work, and by irrigation bringing forth crops that pay large profits. DBNVKR. Now we see thosyires of theeity. Now the city itself. Gracious! what a city. There it is, fourteen miles cast of the foot mills. Fourteen miles east from the mountaina, on the plains. It looks like an oasis in a desert. A city four miles long and about a mile and a half wide. A city of 80,000 inhabitants. One of the handsomest, taost progressive cities in the Union. Considering all things it ha* no rival on earth. Where thirty year* ago was a liald-headed plain, now* rise tens of thousands of trues, to almost hide the beautiful city they shade.

The three different sections of the torpedo are screwed together ao aa to make water-tight joints. The project is so constructed as to dive ana keep certain depth by means of the automati- callv controlled pins in the bow and the diving rudder in the tail.

But Van Wyck abso lutely refused to be squelched, and gn re ly replied- in his most rasping tones: “Now I suppose we shall be treated to the terrors of the Supreme Court. ” The Senate, of course, laughed, and that, too, at the expense of the great Edmonds. Van Wyck is no respecter of persons. When fully convinced that a certain project is right and ought to prevail there isn’t anybody in the Senate who can prevent his fighting that measure to the bitter end. “Old Van,” as the boys call him, is against secret seasons. He believes that the Senate was created for the purpose of attending to a part olthe people’s business.
