The government project to construct
the Gunnison tunnel and canals, in
volving an outlay of 100000. has hit
another snag. But the government Of
ficials who have charge of the matter
believe that 1t will not prove lasting
obstacle. In the preliminaries leading
to the letting of the big contracts, tho
opposition in the district has succeeded.
Certain requirements of the secretary
of the interior were defeated for the
time being at meeting of the share
holders last Wednesday. as two-thirds
vote was necessary to adopt. The mi
nority of the landholders in the
irrigation district seek to over
throw the federal government
plan and return to the state
law. Around Grand Junction a feeling
is being created or manufactured that
the construction of the canal and feed
ers could be done better and cheaper
through local control. The state law
gives permission to community to
form an improvement district and dis
pose of bonds to raise money to meet
the work. This plan is being advocated.
1t is claimed that the local persons who
want to dispose of the bonds are at the
head of the project to depose the fed
eral government officials.

Virgil wrote here the Georges and
"Aeneid," with the lOveiest view on

his remains are buried, he having died
just nineteen years before Christ was
born.
In an outlying section of Naples is
the town of Pozznoli, where st. Paul
set foot in the dawn of the Christian
era. Cicero called it then miniature
Rome" and with its hundreds of mar
BILE palaces, temples and magnificent
baths it was both princely and i'm
posing.
Driving from there on, small is
land called Nisda is reached, tiny
spot, but rich in history. Here Brutus
retired to a villa after the murder
of Caesar and here he and cicero met
in consultation and then parted never
again to see each other. Brutus' fare
well words to Portia were spoken
here, and here the lovely and devoted
wife committed suicide upon hearing
of his death.
The ruined town of Baiae next de-
mands ones attention. 1t was the
grandest Roman watering place ever
known, all the great writer's of the
day having spoken of it's luxury as
something unsurpassed. Caesar, Pom
pey, Nero, Caligula, Hadrian and 9TH
ers owned villas in this now deserted
spot, where nature and man have
combined to make the place a scene
of desoation with earthquakes and
repeated wars.
The reader is thus given fragmer-
tary idea of the past of Naples, its
departed wonders and glories, and
can understand the great interest it's
records have had for centuries for
scholars. Now for the Naples of to-
day-the bright, charming, hopelessly
dirty Naples. Some one has said that
her environs form paradise but that
the city itself is purgatory.
Great improvements have doubtless
been made in the past few years, and
spacious thoroughfares greet the eye,
but new Neapolitan features cannot
change the chief characteristics of the
place, viz, rags and noise, donkeys
and dirt.

Brother whateer the world hath taught
However diverse our feet may roam
Our love can center In one thought
Which leads us TO our youthful nome.
An humble roof with honest hearts
Contentment, graced with willing hanos
More beauty to a home imparts
Than heritage of house or lands.
What though no art our windows STAIN
Nor costly carpets spread the hoor!
The lilacs peeped In through the pane
The grass grew green about me door.
No paintings graced our narrow hall
With mimic mountain, wood, or rili-
The greatest Master of them all
Had hung his work on ev'ry NIL.
From boughs, where robins build and sing,
Like snow the apple blossoms fell:
The wild grape twined above the sprihs'
The poplars shook above the well.
The sparrow built his modest nest,
And sang no song prescribed by RUE,
The swallow smoothered his slaty CREST
Or clipped It in the crystal pool.
The little plot our mem'ries till,
Bright poppy-bloom and sanron Xieius'
/, The wild rose gems the craggy NIL
And yarrow clothes the scanty heius'
Some sunny CLEANS our hearts recall
That vandal time cannot decay; .
Some shadows DER our mem'ries fall
That sunlight neer can chase away.
