" Those enterpii Ing individuals who have
devisi-d so many mechanical devices
whereby the p:ihlio Is given thrills at sum
mer amusement parks seem to have been
outdone by western railroad men
Recogntxlrig the appeal of daring en
gineering feats to the aveiatie mind, these
railroad men aie taking advantage ff the
natural oppot unities afforded bv the nocky
mountains and are endeavoring to outdo
each other In the construction of railroads
and trams that will Rive the tourist a
mingled aenoation of wonder and feai'.
The modern enarlneer who Is constructing
a "thriller" in the mountains lays rails
where only the lonely prospector has been
w ith his burro or where the mountain sheep
has leaped from crag to crag. Or perhaps
he swings a cable across a mighty abyss
and the thrill seeker Is swung back and
forth across a yawning gulch and has the
delightful sensation that comes from spec
ulating on the possibilities if the ateel wire
that holds him in his bucket should part.
Amusement purveyors of this sort even
have their eyes fixed gloatingly on the far
famed Royal Gorge in the canyon of the
Arkansas. A trolley line from Canyon
City, Colo, to the top of this gorge is
planned. A bridge will span this cleft In
the rocks, which la almost as narrow at the
top as at the bottom, where the Denver
Rio Grande railroad could not find room to
bnlld its track on solid footing and had to
suspend a bridge between the granite walls.
When the trolley ears spin across the
chasm and the tourist looks down on the
transcontinental trains crawling hundreds
of feet below, a new sensation will bs pro
vided for the tlrelesa American thrill
hunter.
The man who started the work of turn
ing the Rocky mountains into a sort of
Coney Island la Rev. E. J. Wilcox, who
stepped from the ministry to mine promot
ing and from mining to a new form of
railroading. Mr. Wilcox was interested in
a mine not far from Silver Plume. Colo. A
tiny narrow-gauge railroad had been built
from Silver Plume to the mine. Mr. Wilcox
was enohanted with the view unfolded on
hla first trip over the line, which waa used
solely for the transportation of ore.
Tha railroad to the mine ended before
timber line was reached, however, and
Mr. Wilcox realised at once the advan
tage of extending the rails on to the very
crest of Mount McClellan, which is a
shoulder of Gray'a peak, and which la only
200 or MO feet lower than that mUrhty
mountain. Railroad . experts shook their
heads, but the enthusiastic promoter raised
the money for extending the line. In a
series of switchbacks, to the altitude of
14,0(10 feet. Today the line ends on the very
summit of Mount McClellan.
It Is the highest regularly equipped and
operated railroad In the world. There la
a higher line In South America, which is
not used for passenger service, and which
Is not operated regularly, but this Colorado
line to the top of a mountain peak Is used
for mail as well as passenger service, and
is In every respect, a genuine railroad.
The engines used In negotiating the
tremendous grades to the top of Mount
McClellan are of the - Shay mountain
climbing type, but are not equipped with
cogs. The steeper portions of the climb
are negotiated by switchbacks, which rise
not unlike a series of steps In, a gigantic
ladder. By alternately backing and going
ahead on these switchbacks the final alti
tude of 34,000 feet Is reached.
It la Intended to pile one thrill on another,
however, by extending this line still
farther. From Mount McClellan it Is In
tended to extend the line along the rocky
ridge extending to Gray's peak itaelf.
Gray's peak Is one of the highest moun
tain In the Rocky mountain range, and
years, ago, waa uaed as a weather station
by ' tha United States government. The
peak is considerably higher than Pike's
peak.

The iitlliiatlon of the mine railroad for'
passenger traffic suggested an Idea to
other mine owners on Mount McClellan
who transported their ore in trams. One
of these concerns. wmme steel cable
stretched a mile or more up the steep aide
of Mount McClellan, began earning pas
sengers up in the ore buckets. Here was
a new thrill whh a vengeance, and the
mine Osier soon began reaping more
profile from human freight than from hla
ore. Now he doea a big businoss all Bum

' Thrill for Tourists.
John Itrlsben Walker, who la never con
tent iinlehs he Is mapping out some start
ling enterprise, is resionsible for a mlle
long railroad near Denver that has more
thrills per foot than any other line In the
world. Mr. Walker conceived the Idea of
hauling passengers to the top of the front
range of the Rocky Mountains, overlooking
the plains that stretch eastward toward the
Missouri. He Installed a power plant on
the summit of Mt. Morrison, that towers
over the foothills west of Denver. By
means of steel cables two heavy cars are
hauled to the top of the mountain, and are
lowered again with their human freight.
The ascent Is made from the famous Red
Rocks strange formations not unlike those
that have given the Garden ot the Gods
ita fame. Mr. Walker haa created a park
among these rocks, and haa found a nat
ural amphitheater, nestled among the larg
est formations, where open air concerts
are given to vast throngs of people. Mt.
Morrison risea high above the park and
amphitheater, and only a man of Mr. Walk
er's daring would have thought of building
a railroad up so steep an ascent.
It Is thought by engineers that tha Mt.
Morrison railway Illustrates the ultimate
In cable construction. To construct a line
with a longer cable haul la an impossibility,
yet this line la conaldered so safe that Mr.
Walker carries no insurance whatever, as
he considers an accident an Impossibility.
Such acenlo roads demonstrate how the
engineer's skill Is tested to meet the pub
lic's constant demand for something start
ling. How far such devlcea will be carried,
can only be guessed, but with the Rocky
mountains as a field for exploitation, there
is going to be no lack of room for touriat

Colonel Scores Congressmen Who Are
Responsible for Annexation

CHICAGO. Feb. :.1.-Colonei Roosevelt
Roosevelt. In (he last of 1,1, frm
speeches here today before (he inion
I-eaaue club banquet, warmly advocated
the proposed recipioclty trade agreement
with Canada and scored congressmen who
he said, were responsible for hindering the
confirmation of the agreement hy means
of an "annexation scare."
Colonel Roosevelt was cheered when he
advocated the proposed reciprocity agree
ment with Canada and praised President
Taft for the efforts the president la x
trndlng toward Its confirmation.
"I not only believe in the agreement on
economic g.ounds," Colonel Rooxaveit
said, " but because I feel ft should le a
cardinal object of our policy to atrengthen
In every way the relations of amity and
mutual self-rennet between lis and our
great and growing neighbor on the north.
I am sure you share with me the feeling
of profound disapprobation for those mem
bers of congress who have Indirectly
aouglil to bar the path, riot only, to the
proposed reciprocity agreement, but to bar
the path to good feeling between Canada
and the fnited States by Introducing in
congress resolutions tending to look toward
the annexation ot Canada."
Taking up hla reference to fortifying the
canal, Colonel Roosevelt said: "In the
final treaty the United States guaranteed
that. Inasmuch as no other powers were
allowed to to have anything to aay about
the canal, we would police It, keep It open
and protect it. It Is our duty to fortify
the canal; there are no two side to that
qvestion."
