care Of INDECENT civil war veter ms who
became stranded in this city. Later the
benefits of the establishment were ex-
tended to soldiers and sailors who served
in the war with Spain. Regulars who
served in either of those wars or the war
with Mexico, and who are not members
of the home for regulars. may he admit
ted to the c street home if their dis
charges show faithful and honorabi

HOMES OF CLIFF MEN
PROMPT STEPS NEEDED TO
PRESERVE RUINS.
Increased Interest in Relics of Pre-
historic Race Due to the Labors
of DR.. Fewkes.

Relics of d prehistoric race in Colorado
will be lost unless prompt steps are takea
to prevent their deterioration from eX-
posture to the weather. says a report
just made to Score airy Ballinger by II.
NJ Randolph. superintendent OF Mesa
Verde National Park in Colorado.
The work of DR.. ]. Waller Fewkes,
ethnologist OF the Smithsonian Insttu-
ton. in the excavation and repair of
Spruce Tree House and Cliff Palace has
greatly increased the interest in the
park, says Supt. Randolph.
1T is now important he says, that
Balcony House and Peabody House
should be similarly treated to prevent
further decay The superintendent
speaks at length of the work on these
ancient ruins and declares that both the
Balcony and Peabody houses have suf-
fered considerable deterioration through
the natural action of the weat ..er through
the year and are in a dangerous condi-
ton at the present time.
Necessity for Roads.
He says that one of the main necessi-
ties in the development of the park is
that of road building and points out that
the cost of eXcavating and repairing OF
ruins and of all other development work
is made excessive by having 10 use pack
animals for transportation, and the use OF
the park, he points out, by visitors is
greatly reduced on this account. The car
Tiage road should be completed at the
earliest possible moment, SO az TO permit
driving to all the principal ruins.
He believes that rangers should be ap-
pointed to look after stock and guard the
ruins from vandalism. He recommends
that the private holdings in the park
should be eliminated and provision made
for the inclusion of the Ute Indian reser-
walton lands by exchanging the Ute noun
tain tract therefor.

Another Method of Attack,

Another, and unusually plausible, form
of attack IS to demand that all land
not now bearing trees shal' b t'ro n
out of the national forests. For centuries
forest fire. have burned through IN.
western mountains. and much land thus
deforested is scattered throughout the
national forest awaiting retorestation
This land is not valuable for agricu ture
and will contribute more to the general
welfare under forest than in any other
way. To exclude II from the national
forests would be no more reasonable than
IL would be in city to remove from
taxation and municipal control every
building lot not now covered by house
1t would be no more reasonable than to
condemn and take away from our ia M
ers every acre OF land that did not bear
crop last year. or to confiscate a mans
winter overcoat becaus~ he was rot ca
ing 1t in July. A generation In the life
IF nation is no longer tina a season
in the life of a man. With a fair chance
we can and VIII reclothe these denuded
mountains with forests, and we ask for
that chance.
