Peak made famous by the Sioux Indians of early days now conquered by automobile. A long, nard task to climb to the peak on foot yet the power ful Buick car reached the summit entirely under its own power. Last Saturday, January 16, a $1050 Buick car from the Davis garage made the long and dangerous ascent to the top of Sioux Lookout Mountain. The car carried four passengers until within 100 feet of the summit when it was deemed advisable to unload on account of the dangerous angle at which the car had to travel along the narrow ledge, where on one side was a sheer descent of 100 feet. Half way up the grade it was found necessary to turn the car completely around and travel in almost the opposite direction in order to proceed. The place where the turn was made was approximately 16 feet square and was surrounded on three sides by a chasm 100 feet deep. The only direction in which the car could proceed after turning in tKis remarkably small space, was up a long, narrow grade which was marked about every 20 feet by "cat steps" from 8 to 18 inches high. This Dgrade was never over 8 feet wide and in places the car had to proceed within a foot of the edge. The conditions of the climb were such that it required enormous reserve power instantly applicable and the dependability of the brakes was a matter serious moment. The car at all times handled itself perfectly and had reserve power. The brakes held the car positively whenever necessary and the car at all times was under complete control pf the driver, -. - - nd Personal.
