H tlup to pike’s peak On a Monday afternoon in September of 1906, I left Indepen¬ dence, Iowa, and arrived in Colorado Springs, Colorado the following Wednesday forenoon at nine o’clock via Kansas City and Limon Jun¬ ction. In going to Manitou and Iron Springs, the terminus of the cog- rcad, I passed through Colorado City, much of Colorado Springs and by the entrance of the Garden of the Gods. When I reached Manitou Springs I first tasted the water of the Soda Springs. What a nause¬ ating taste! I was content to drink but little here. Since the second cog-road train did not leave until 1:30 p. m., I took a walk up the track as far as I had time to go, and just as I felt tired enough to retrace my steps, I came upon a beautiful spring grushing from beneath a hugh boulder—not soda, sulphur, iron or any other bad-tasting medicinal water, but real, cool, refreshing, thirst- satisfying “Iowa” water. It was the only of such I had tasted since leaving my native state. After enjoying the scenery of an endless confusion of precipices and forest-covered mountains in the distance above and below, made possible by my lofty position, I came down with more speed and less energy then had been used in the ascent, just in time to catch the train for the top of Pike’s Peak. The 220 horse power locomotives of 28 tons each present a very pecular appearance with their hind wheels like car trucks and no front wheels at all. This tips up the cab and lets down the front so that in making the steep grades the boiler remains nearly horizontal at all times. Each engine shoves one car. Instead of coupling pins they have two steel rollers so placed that the awful jars and jerks of the en¬ gine are reduced to a minimum. In going up the seats are leaned to¬ wards the front so that you may sit straight up and down when the car is tipped; but when coming down they are adjusted to the other extreme so that one may lean back and keep from sliding under the seat in front. Each car carries about 50 passengers. In the middle between the rails are two sets of cogs about one and one-half inches made of the best Bessemer steel. These two sets of steel cog-bars are one and five-eights inches apart and fastened to the ties so that the cog of one bar comes opposite the opening between the cogs of the other bar thus making it quite impossible for the cog-wheel to leave its track, for 3
