at that time was the principal port of entry
1t is now Of small Importance, sandbar hav-
ing formed across the mouth of the Rio Dulce
which prevents vessels drawing over 16 feet
of water from reaching this inland sea. Large
brass cannon, bearing the date 1896, have
been found scattered among the ruins of this
old fertilization.
Neither pen nor brush can do justice to the
wild beauty of the Polochic river, and those
in search Of new sensations can enjoy the
unique experience of travelling in perfect
safety through a tropical wilderness, where
gayly colored parrots and inquisitive monkeys
chatter at the intruder from overhanging
branches, and crocodiles, with wide open
mouths, lie basking in the sun.
This is the main route to the coast for the
natives of the Coban and Peten districts, who
bring their produce in canoes down the river
to Lake Yzabal and thus to the markets Of
Livingston.
On the Polochic, near Panzos, is situated
the great rubber plantation of "Tinajas,"
which covers $4,000 acres Of land. 1t is
owned by the Guatemala Central railroad and
is one Of the most important and richest
tates of its kind in Central America.
In the northern part of the country lies the
great lake of Peten, or San Andres. of which
comparatively little is known, except to anti
quarians. Situated in wild, almost uninhab
tied part of the country, perhaps the richest
in all Guatemala, it is difficult of access. This
immense body Of fresh water, 81 miles long
and having a shore line of 70 miles, is dotted
with numerous islands. On the largest of
these is the town Of Flores, with about $4,000
inhabitants. Near Flores are the ruins of
buried city, with stone images and monolths
covered with hierog1yphics, showing the I'M
read history Of a people which dwelt in the
midst Of this primeval forest ages ago.
At Lake Amatitlan we find ourselves on a
much visited lake. The borders of this lovely
body Of water, lying only 18 miles to the
south Of Guatemala City, are the Fairgrounds
of the capital. For Is miles along its curved
shore line run the tracks of the Guatemala
central railroad, which, particularly on Sun
days and holidays, carries many excursionists
to the town of Amatitlan. the favorite resort
Of picnickers.
Situated at altitude of nearly 1000 feet
above the level Of the sea, IL miles long and
miles wide, it is very deep and gives rise to
river, the Guastoya, which has its outlet in
the Pacific ocean, IL miles south OF the port
OF San Jose where 1t is IL miles wide.

FARM CONGRESSES
convene IN DENVER
Conference of Special Inter-

Farming Exponents.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Oct a.

+ COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. A.
The greatest event in the farming
world of America has brought togeth-
er a host of delegates to attend the
deliberations of the Sixth Information
al Dry Farming Congress in session
from Monday till October Goth, and
the First International Congress of
Farm Women, which convenes a day
later than the Dry Farming Congress
and closes on the same date.
The International Congress of Farm
Women Is an organization fostered by
the Dry Farming Congress and aims
toward the uplift of the farmers wife
just as the Dry Farming Congress
aims toward better crops. The move
ment was set afoot this year and has
met with great success among the
men and women of the rural districts.
The Dry Farming Congress has sur
passed all past records in the number
OF prominent men who have signified
their intention of addressing the as
sembly and already the delegates that
are flocking into Colorado Springs pro-
claims the largest attendance since
its birth.
The Sixth Annual Congress will
have in attendance six governors of
states. ten presidents OF agricultural
colleges. fifty professors of similar
institutions, fifty members Of the Uni
ted States staff Of agricultural experts
Q half hundred agricultural authori-
ties from different countries of the
world and more than three thousand
prominent farmers and business men.
The rapid growth of the dry farm
ing congress Is due to the successful
tho arid territory of the West-suc-
cess that has increased the land value
of the Western states by a large per-
centage and increased the agricultural
experts OF the world.
The exposition of dry-farmed pro-
ducts will occupy two buildings and
will be divided into two sections-the
machinery display and the products OF
the soil. Both of these have been ex.
tensively subscribed to by the farm.
