RESTORING THE CLIFF DWELL

The charge that all government re-

brought against the annual report OF

used to blow up walls, and the shat

The work OF restoring the ruins in

as Cliff Palace. In the meantime It
is hoped that congress and the state
of Colorado will cooperate In the
construction of wagon road from
Mancos to this toiehistoric wonderland.
Today the tourist who visits the ruins
must travel horseback over rough
trail. This, no doubt. has kept down
the number of visitors to the park.
