MESA VERDE PAKK.
The Government to Improve
This Colorado Wonder if
Money is Appropriated.

The Department of the Inter-
ior proposes to spend $l6.G7 on
the Mesa Verde National Park
during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914, if the amount re-
quested by the Secretary of the
Interior is appropriated by Con-
gress. This is an increase OF
81, CAT over the appropriation for
the current fiscal year.
The principal items are for the
repair and completion Of the
road to the ruins, construction OF
telephone system, and general
administration.
The Mesa Verde National Park
is situated in southwestern Col
orado and may be reached from
Mancos. Within the park jurls-
diction are many notable prehis-
toric ruins, the cliff dwellings
comprising a group Of great inn
portance to the study of Ameri-
can archaeology.
The principal and most access
ible ruins are Spruce Tree House,
Cliff Palace and Balcony House.
Spruce Tree House is located
near the head of a draw of Nav
aho Canyon, and originally con-
tained about 13O rooms, built OF
dressed stone laid in adobe NOR
tar, with the outside tiers chinked
with chips of rock or broken pot
terry. Cliff Palace, located about
2 miles east of the Spruce Tree
House in a left branch Of the
Cliff Canyon, consists of a group
of houses with ruins of LAG rooms
including 20 round kivas or GER
emonial rooms, and a tapering
loopholed tower. forming a Gre
scent of about 100 yards from
horn to horn, which is reputed
to be one of the most famous
works of prehistoric man in ex-
istance. Balcony House, mile
east of the Cliff House, in Cliff
Canyon, contains about Is rooms,
some of which are in almost per-
feet condition. In each of these
villages is an elaborate system
of Notifications, with, in some
cases, walls 2.3 feet thick and
20 feet high, watchtowers 80 feet
high, and blockhouses pierced
with small locpholes for arrows.
For the development and care
Of the national parks, the Sec
retary of the Interior has asked
Congress to appropriate the sum
of $733, Ola, an increase of $685.
AGA over the appropriations for
the current fiscal year. The
national parks constitute ideal
recreation grounds for thousands
of people, but thier development
and use are seriously retarded by
the lack of adequate roads and
trails, and until sufficient money
is appropriated for beginning a
comprehensive plan of develop
lnent the parks will fall far short
of rendering the important pub
lie use for which they are in
tended.
1t is the intention of the De.
partment to make the principal
places of interest in the parks
more accessible, to render trav-
cling m more comfortable b y
sprinkling the roads throughout
the dry season, and to guard the
health of the traveller by the in
stallation of proper water supply
and sewerage systems. The re-
