BETTER HOUSES WANTED.
Healthseekers Desire to Secure Comfortable
Places.

3NSS1
There is a dearth of houses in Santa
Fe for health-seekers who are coming
from all parts of the country during
these months, on every train that ar
rives. A number of them leave Santa
lFe again soon, because they cannot find
|houses to rent. The average health
Seeker from the east who arrives mere
does not know how cozy and comfort
able an adobe house can be made DUR
ing winter, and regards the average
adobe as a mere howell, unfit to live H.
He is accustomed to live in a brick or
frame cottage, with all the modern I'M
p~rovements, such as in the smaller
cities of Pennsylvania and New York
hent from $40 to SIS a month for an
eight to fifteen room house, with a
small garden and agreeable surround
ings. The average health-seeker soon
learns that it is out of the question in
the west to rent a good house so cheap
ly, and will generally be satisfied with
a four or five room cottage, providing
it has agreeable surroundings. Houses
of that class are needed in Santa Fe, for
while there are many empty dwellings
in the city, they are not Of the kind that
the health-seeker will rent. Furnished
| rooms for light housekeeping, situated
| facing the sun, are also much In de-
| mand, and il properly advertised viii

MAY PRESERVE THE RUINS.
Special Agent to Report OIL Proposed Res
eryation.

Special Agent Max Pracht, of the gem
eral land office, has been assigned the
duty of examining the cliff dwellers and
Aztec ruins in south western Colorado
with a view of reporting upon the al
visibility Of setting aside that part OIL
Colorado as a national park or reserVa-
ton. The most interesting ruins are
situated in the Mancos canon n on
| the Mesa Verde, which are to be reached
over the Denver & Rio Grande. Ihey
are being despoiled by relic hunters
who carry off relics by the car a Inc
government has been petitioned repeat
| edly to preserve the ruins, as they are
probably the most interesting Within
| the boundaries of the United States. MI.
Pracht will leave for Colorado in a Few
| weeks,
This week a car load of relics were
Skinned from the ruins to New York,
| destined for the museum OF natural MIS-
tory, and comprise many of the most
striking objects, gathered from the ru-
ms near Mancos, that have ever been
discovered in Colorado or the South
west. These were gathered by Professor
Pepper, of the department Of anthropol-
ogy. for the museum. He has spent the
past four summers in the southwest,
and has dug into hundreds of burial
mounds of extinct races and visited
thousands of stone houses, far up the
sides of the cliffs.
He Ices not believe that an Aztec
temple has been discovered in north
western New Mexico. Neither does ne
believe that the life Of the cliff jewellers
extends back only 500 years. Many
points for which anthropologists have
been looking, have not yet been estab-
lished,'' said he, land it may be centu-
ries before the mile stones have beer
discovered. We do know, however, tina,
the Mesa Encantada was inhabited 1,50(
years ago., and that at least four stone
cities, one upon another, have existed
on the site Of Acoma. How long ago the
stone houses at Mancos were inhabited
no man can tell. 1t is as easy to say
5000 years as 500 years, but progress is
being maze ana we SHOulu VOl uccius
that the history of the rise, progress ant
decline of the cliff dwellers will never
be writer.
In an area of twenty square miles
over which | have worked during thu
last four years is a field ample enough
for all the museums and colleges of thu
) world to operate for the next 100 years
