Geok-Tepe, at about 10 o'clock in the
morning, all the passengers make a rush
to little memorial museum three or
fouS hundred feet from the track on the
opposite side from the depot.
1t is an artistic building of brick COW
cred with stucco painted white and is
filled with relics of horrible massacre
that occurred there in 1881, when the
Turkomans made their last stand against
the Russians and 10000 human beings
were slaughtered in the most merciless
and inexcusable manner.
Guns picked up on the battlefield that
were actually used in the fight are artis-
tically arranged upon the walls. Several
small cannon that were engaged in the
bombardment are parked on the outside
before the entrance.
Within are portraits of the men that
were conspicuous on both sides Makdum

mans; Tekme Sirdar, the second in COM

deliver us. Talk about what your
competitors resort 10, it certainly
makes us laugh.
We also note that you place con-
siderable stress on the Grand juno
tion Fruit Growers Associations en-
dorsement, for your pots. That is
all right Mr.. Hamilton, but we did
not regard them as worth the price
while we regard as good authority
on great many things. We don't
consider them any better authority
on smudge pots than they would be
on Lydia L. Pinkham's pills.
Now Bro. Hamilton, | think that
the fruit growers of the valley know
a great many things that you nor !
have never told them. but there is
one thing that you have certainly
overlooked. The fruit growers would
certainly like to know just how many
boxes of apples you got off of your
2O-acre orchard this year.
Last year we noticed in nearly ev-
cry paper we picked up the enormous
yield you got from 10 acres last year,
but we fail to have seen any state
ment this year of your vast fortune
derived from the crop of 1909.
Now If 1t is a fact that your fruit
fell off badly. and you did not get
half crop, tell us why it fell off;
you ought to be able to explain this
matter satisfactorily to yourself at
least
And l should suggest that you get
this out in as nice shape as possible
as no doubt number of the growers
will want TO have them framed.
Respectfully yours,

TO COME HERE
To VISIT THE
PROJECT

The senior class in civil engineer
ing at Colorado College. accompanied
by Professor G. j. Lyon, head of the
department of civil engineering, will
leave today over the Denver g. Rio
Grande railroad for 1,00O-mile trip
through the state.
This trip, which is taken annually,
is conducted in order that the stu
dents may see in operation the vari-
GUS plants and methods which have
been discussed by them during the
four years of their college course that
precedes the inspection trip.
The first stop will be made at Port
land, Colo, where the large manu-
featuring plant of the Ideal Cement
Company will be closely inspected
The party will then go to Canon
City, inspecting the recently con-
structed water works which brings
water for the domestic supply of Cam
on City from point 6 miles west in
the Royal gorge, and while there will
also be shown over number of large
irrigation projects
At Leadville, n stop will be made
to see the methods of mining and re-
ducing the ores of that district.
The large power plant of the Cen
tral ColOradO Power Company at Sho-
shone will be visited, as we'll as all
the large irrigation projects in the
Grand valley
A stop will be made at Montrose,
enabling the students to visit the
world-famed Gunnison tunnel; and
from that place the students will go
on to Telluride, where there are some
very important hydro-electric power
plants.
The party will then proceed to the
San Juan district, looking over min
ing, irrigation and railroad projects.
and will return over Cumbres pass to
the San Luis valley. a number of
side trips will be made in the San
Luis valley to numerous irrigation
works under construction.
1t is expected that the party will
be away little less than three weeks
on this trip.
These inspection trips are an i'm
portant part of the work of the en-
| gineering school of Colorado College,
and il is the policy of the institution
to see that all its students have the
advantage of these excursions before
their duation.-Colorado Springs
