THE MONEY MOON"

A ROMANCE By Jeffery Farnel.
 Frontispiece by A. I. Keller. Dodd,
 Meade &r Company. New York.
 MT Jefferv F'arnel has followed his very readable book, 'rhe Broad High way" with another which is full of hu- nor. pleasantly and delight, "The Money Moon.' and which for pure beauty and style is one of the best books that has been published for many days.
 Like Wordsworth tour in summer. it is interwoven with the tender charm of poetry and love, and while the followers of such writers as Mrs. Edith Wharton. Mr. Arnold Bennett. Mrs Humphrey Ward and Miss May Sinclair. may ob- serve that .it is only story they will have to acknowledge that it is a mighty good story and well worth reading

FORMER DURANGO MAN, WHO
TOOK $500. is FREE PEND
ING GOOD BEHAVIOR

Although John Clark ONeilI, for
merly of this city, admitted having
taken over $500 of the Well-Fargo
Express company money, where he
was employed for several years, and
spending it in saloons and dice games,
he will not have to go to prison.
In the west side Denver court, Judge
Teller sentenced him to the reforma-
tory at Buena Vista and then sus-
pended sentence as long as O'Neill
keeps in the straight and narrow path.
1t seems that O'Neill expected the
best fortune that could befall him un-
der the circumstances was term in
the reformatory, although three of
the most influential men in the state
had appeared in court and plead for
leniency for him.

PAPER PREPARED BY EDGAR Blu
CHANAN AND READ BEFORE
HORTICULTURAL BOARD

Secretary Meauff of the state hor-
ticultural board sent special invi-
tation to Edgar Buchanan of this city
TO attend the annual meeting of that
society the 18th and 18th of this
month at Grand Junction and deliver
the principal address on orchards. Mr.
Buchanan replied that it would rot be
possible to get away at the time but
said he would send an article OH the
subject if desired, making it applica-
BILE to the higher attitudes. Mr.. Meauff
Immediately requested the sending of
the article in time for presentation at
the first session in order that it might
be taken up and discussed. The Her
aid takes pleasure in giving space tn
the article as Mr.. Buchanan is an eX-
pert in this regard and every fruit
grower should cut out and preserve
the article for future reference:
The problems involved in this sub
ject are of great Importance to the
state of Colorado, and afford fruit
full and interesting field for investiga-
ton on the part of the hortic culturist.
The apple crop of the United States
this year amounts to about II ,0OD, 900

ceived by the grower in all parts of
the country should be sufficient to af-
ford good profit. Yet, we hear
many complaints from different dis
.iicts about the small prices obtained
and the sluggish movement of the
crop.
1t is quite possible that here in
Colorado we are producing too many
late fall and early winter apples that

MANY SALES OF RED CROSS
SEALS ARE BEING MADE

The interest which the Colorado peo-
pie are taking in the fight to exter-
inmate the great white PLACE is shown
in the manner in which they, one and
all, respond to the sale of the Red
Cross Christmas seals. These sales
are being pushed in every town in the
state and the work is being done by
volunteer workers, mostly young la
dies who are interested, and, who are
willing to give a portion of their time
toward the stamping out of the dread
disease-consumptio These girls
stand in the Railways of the large
buildings and other places from $3.50
in the morning until $50 in the even
ing and request each passerby to pur-
chase a package of the seals. The
packages are done up in small en-
yelopes containing, ten, twenty-five
or hundred seals as the case max
be and the purchaser chooses the num-
Der that he wants. There is no beg
ging of the trade, neither is there any
attempt to embarrass- an earnest
appeal to purchase the stamps and use
them according to the directions on
the envelope.
The Red Cross society does not ex-
pect to make any great amount of
money out of this work. What it
hopes to do is to educate the people on
what it is doing in the way of ex-
terminating the white plague and also
to educate the people on how to help
eNterminate it.
Hence, when a citizen is approached
and asked to purchase a package of
Red Cross Christmas seals, he should
understand that it is work of edu-
cation voluntarily donated

CONGRESS ASKED FOR sI6,647 TO
CARE FOR NATIONAL PARK
DURING FISCAL YEAR

The department of the interior pro-
poses to spend $16,647 on the Mesa
Verde National park during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914, if the
amount requested by the secretary of
the interior is appropriated by con-
gress. This is an increase of S1,647
over the appropriation for the current
fiscal year.
The principal items are for the re-
pair and completion of the road to the
ruins, construction of telephone sys-
TEN, and general administration.
The Mesa Verde National park is
situated in southwestern Colorado and
may be reached from Mancos. With
in the park jurisdiction are many no.
table prehistoric ruins, the cliff dwell
ings comprising group of great i'm
portance to the study of American
archaeology.
The principal and most accessible
ruins are Spruce Tree house, Cliff
palace and Balcony house. Spruce
Tree house is located near the head
of draw of Navajo canon and orig
inally contained about 1870 rooms, built
of dressed stone laid in adobe NOR
tar, with the outside tiers chinked
with chips of rock or broken pottery.
Cliff palace, located about two miles
east of the Spruce Tree house in a
left branch of the Cliff canon, consists
of group of houses with ruins of
146 rooms, including twenty round
kivas or ceremonial rooms, and ta-
pering loopholed tower, forming a
crescent of about 100 yards from
horn to horn, which is reputed to be
one of the most famous works of pre-
historic man in existence Balcony
house, a mile east of the Cliff house,
in Cliff canon, contains about twenty
FIVE rooms, some of which are in al
most perfect condition. In each of
these villages is an elaborate system
of Notifications, with, in some cases,
walls 2.3 feet thick and twenty feet
high, watchtowers thirty feet high,
and blockhouses pierced with small
loopholes for arrows.
For the development and care of
the national parks the secretary of
the interior has asked congress to ap-
propriate the sum of $733,O14, an in
crease of $505,464 over the appropri-
ations for the current fiscal year. The
national parks constitute ideal recre-
alton grounds for thousands of peo-
pie, but their development and use are
seriously retarded by the lack of ade-
quate roads and trails, and until suffi-
cient money is appropriated for begin.
ming a comprehensive plan of devel-
opment the parks will fall far short
of rendering the important public use
for which they are intended. 1t is the
intention of the department to make
the principal places of interest in the
parks more accessible, to render trav-
cling more comfortable by sprinkline
the roads throughout the dry season
and to guard the health of the trav-
eler by the installation of proper wa
ter supply and sewerage systems. The
responsibility for the future conduct
of the national parks must rest with
congress, but the department feels
that the financial needs of these res
ervations should be clearly presented
to congress in the annual estimates
A comprehensive list of books and
magazine articles on the national
parks has recently been issued by the
department of the interior and may
be obtained on application.
