Colorado i Is Topic For Group Mrs. Beryl Lyon gave a program on "By-ways of Col orado" for the October meet ing of Travel Study club, ' Oregon Federation of Wom en's clubs, last Tuesday, at the home of Mrs. Horace F. Knight, 452 Fairmount street. Mrs. Lyon said that Colo rado is one of the most beau ". tiful states since it is high in lthe Rocky mountains and has : 32 peaks over 14,000 feet and 1,000 or more over 10,000 feet. It has been nicknamed the "Centennial State" because it was admitted to the union in 1876, just 100 years after the United States won its inde pendence from Great Brit ain. Colorado ranks seventh in size amor g the states, and 34th in population. The name "Colorado" comes from the Spanish meaning "colored red," since the waters of the Colorado river are, of a red dish tint. Colorado remained a wilderness, except for some trading posts, until about a hundred years ago, when gold was discovered, the speaker : said. Men rushed in great numbers to Pike's peak, near , where the gold had been found", and their slogan was the now famous 'Pike's Feak or Bust." Later many other : minerals were discovered. Colorado ranks first among , h states in the mining of uranium, which is so impor tant in producing atomic en ergy. - j tv- Arthur Flvnn, a friend of Mrs. Lyon's father, wrote "wnere we fninmhines Grow."
