STEREOPTICON LECTURE
"PANORAMIC COLORADO
Mr." and Mrs. Gilbert McClurg Give
Interesting Talk In Me
- morial Halh
To a "large and appreciative" audi
ence, consisting of twelve people, Mr.
and Mrs. Gilbert McClurg delivered an
unusually interesting lecture on "Pan
oramic Colorado" in Memorial Hallon
Tuesday evening. Despite the dis
couraging emptiness of the Hall Mr.
and Mr. McClurg did full JuBtlcu to
their subject and the persons who
worn present were more than reward
ed for their attendance.
Both Mr. and Mrs McClurg are keen
Students of the Colorado of the past
as well as that of the present and the
presentation of pre-Columbian Colo
rado -with excellent pictures of inhab
itants, their homes and the products
of their primitivo arts showed the
careful research that the lecturers
hiive made in this direction.
v The lecture was given in two "parts,!
tho first of which had reference solelj
to primitive Colorado. Mrs. McClurg
delivered this portion of the address,
giving a detailed account of the devel
opment of life, of pre-Columbian times
as recently determined by extensive
.investigation among the ruins of the
JiabitaUoTfbfv the cave and cliff dwell'
,era of the region. Mrs. McClurg was
onS of the pioneers in this research
work and to her is due much of the
present k&owledge on the subject. The
nature' of the pueblos, or .homes of the
earliest .Inhabitants, and the strange
customs and ceremonies that formed
tUomaJprpart of-their lives .wore vlyJ
Idly portrayed and the immense valuo
of Colorado as a field for historical
research -was made plain.
The second" part of the lecture, de
livered by Mr. McClurg, dealt with Col
orado from the time it was discovered
by the first civilized explorers. The
coming of Pike was graphically deple
ted and the discovery of Pike's Peuk
was related in tho words of an ode
written to the Peak by Mrs. McClurg.
"As Israel saw of old, a 'small blue
cloud,
Pillared In distance, .to direct the
march,
So-rPike beheld tho peak." ' S
. The coming of tho first settlers-and
tho gradual growth of the "colored
land" were next related and the his-
,tory ofTthe resources-and productions
ibf'the-state'up-to tho present time was
told irr highly ontortaining fashion.
T.ho history of gold mining claimed
some time and Mr. McClurg stated
that over a million dollars' worth of
tlio-preolous mebul has been" produced
'from the mines or Colorado every
,4nonth' since 'the inauguration. of gold
mining on a large scale. The agricul
tural resources of the state, jilso,
claimed their share of attention. Tho
agricultural output according to Mr7
t McClurg is at present far' above that
'of the mines In money value. The re
(Clamatlon of immense areas of sup
posedly sterile land by irrigation has
pponed'up possibilities 'never dreamed
Jirboforo the last five or six' years and
ut the present time Colorado leads, the
United States in the production of
several staples. Wheat yields from 85

young men about to start out in life,
"Go west, young man, go west."

WOMAN W f RAGE
REV. ANNA SHAW AT CONVOCA
TION. Defends and Explains the Woman
8uffrage Movement to an Ap
preciative Audience.
Uev. Anna Shaw, president of tho
National Woman's Suffrago Associa
tion, spoke on woman's rights and
suffrage at Convocation yesterday
morning. She preBonted the underly
ing principles of that organization
against which there Is so much proju
.dice. .Her - appeal- was especially to
young women. Many women do not
ask for the ballot because it is con
trary to general custom and tloy f,eai'
peoplo will say JL Is a modern craze
of discontented women.
In tills ago there are new oppor
tunities for women, since they .arc
admitted to all state universities, with
tho exception of two. .Many people,
however, are like tho girl in tho Bos
ton University who, thru ignorance,
belittled the leaders, .Ellzaboth Cody
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and
alBo their work. As tho "blood of the
martyrs is the- seed of the church," so
"every privilege Ib wrung from the
heurt's blood of noble men and women
who- sacrificed for us."
Tho argument Is advanced thalv
when nil women want suffrage, mon
will grant It. Furthermore, women
should bo glvon n fair chance todo
what they can, for no more antagon
ism Is raised against women ontering
politics than there waB formerly
against higher education for women,
It Is the indifference and, ignbrance of
woinon ond tho prejudice 6f mon
whlcli prevent woman's' suffrage.
Reverend Shaw is perhaps the most
eminent woman that over spoko in
Memorial Hall, and the enthusiasm
with which she was received by the
students proved clearly their appre
ciation. -v.
Booth Still at It.
The following news Item, taken from
a dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald,
proves that "Bummy" Booth has
not ye.t entirely forsaken theTBclence
of ihe.pjgskjn:
"Prlncetou, N. J., Oct. 2. By far the
best day's practice as yet of. the
Ptluceton sqund was held today. Five
coaches were on the flqld. Thoy wore
Head Coach Rppor, Eddie Holt, 1902;,
Jack Munn, J90G; Gresham Poe,"l90a,
ahdJBunny' Booth, 1900. Tho scrub'
eleven lined up against the varsity for
two halves of ten minutes, and both
sides showed up well.
"The feature of the day, however,
was tho success of the 'forward pass
on both sides. It was a good ground
gainer, and Princeton seems to have
mastered It.
"Harlan, tho substitute quarter bock,
made u pretty drop kick for tho scrub;
whjle tho varsity -scored -twice oh
straight lino .pu'nges. Mc'Coririick, the
full back, made some big gains thru
tho scrub line, but otherwise the de
fense and offense of both teams was
about equal.
"Princeton plays Stevens Institute
of Hobokon hero tomorrow. The
Tigers expect nothing more than a
good practice game, but will neverthe
less try some new plays tomorrow
.which the coaches have planned dur
jng the last week.
