take some steps to put a stop to the
destruction of the historical places in
this territory. All over the western

the ruins they can find and there are
many hundreds of them all ove that
country. These people go at it in a
very careless way and a great portion
of the pottery they find is destroyed
What they can get in fair shape is
sold to dealers in New Mexico, and
Arizona for good prices. Some par
ties are making as high as $500 per
week and the time will come when all
these very interesting ruins will be de-
stroyed. If they are saved they will
be a drawing card for New Mexico
for all time to come. It is an easy

will be under cover The promenade ts reached
by stairs leading from the stadium proper and
there are thirty-eight stairways leading direct
ly from the seats to the ground. There are SIX
entrances to the mezzanine floor from the
ground. There are to be thirty-eight more
stairways leading from the mezzanine floor to
the seats above All the inner staircases open
the concrete stair running up between the
sections outside the stadium, and at the top Of
these are thirty-eight entrances to the upper
promenade
The stadium was begun June %. 1903 and It
was expected at that time that the 100000 In
hand would be sufficient for the work. OF this
sum 100000 was subscribed by members Of the
class of 10. Now, with the work suspended
temporarily nearly 100000 has been expended
and the great structure is still far from COM
plete.
Some idea of the enormous quantities Of steel
and concrete required for the building Of this
mighty "grandstand" is conveyed by the fact
that in the work far it has gone over five
hundred tons of steel have been used in string
ers and beams, while between ninety thousand
and one hundred thousand bags of cement each
weighing one hundred pounds, have been used.
to make no mention of crushed stone and other
material
1t is estimated that 100000 more will be
needed to finish the work, and it is expected this
will be ready when it Is resumed next spring.
Two towers are to be built at the two ends OF
the stands. the upper promenade is to be fin
ished, and about six hundred more concrete
seats to be placed in position. besides consid-
cradle other work. before the stadium Is COM
plete.
Professor Ira N. Hollis Of Harvard. has direct
charge of the work. and the students have
dubbed the classic structure the "Holliseum-"

leaders in the movement, among them being
George R. Sheldon, the lawyer, and James
