NEW. HOME
OWNERSHIP"
Law IN EFFECT
AND STATE SCHOOL LAND BOARD
HAS ORGANIZED FOR ITS AD-
MlNISTRATION - LONG TIME
FARM LOANS.

Oklahoma's new home ownership"
law is now in effect and the state
school land board has organized the
department for its administration by
the selection of j. Frank LauX, the
present title examiner of the board,
for secretary.
This department will have the han
ding and investment of the monies
derived from the sale of section Is
(the state educational institution
lands or lands taken in lieu thereo)
and the new college lands" all of
which have been or will be sold with
in the near future. Unlike many pri-
vate investment companies this de-
partment will start with over four
hundred thoussnd dollars of real
money and this will be increased to
a total of over half a million by jan
uarp l, 1915.
The money is to be loaned, or in
vested rather, in first mortgages on
improved farm land in Oklahoma un-
der the rules and regulations of the
commissioners OF the land office in
sums not TO exceed two thousand dol
lars to any one individual or family.
Loans are to be made only upon
lands on which the borrower resides
and holds as his homestead, and not
to exceed one half the cash value of
the land. The notes are to run for a
period of twenty three and a half
years and payments of four per cent
of the full face value are to be paid
semi annually; at each payment in
terest at the rate of six per cent per
annum upon the unpaid balance of
said note is to be deducted from the
amount paid and the remainder is to
be credited upon the principal of the
loan.
Loans from said fund can only be
made for the following purposes:
l, To assist the borrower to pay
for a home.
2. To pay off an existing mortgage
on the home.
8. To make Improvements on the
home farm.
Furthed provisions are made for
the investment of the fund in case
loans are not available and bond is
sues based upon the notes and mortga-
ges, or any portion of thief, taken for
the sale price of the public lands
named, or bonds based on the notes
and mortgages taken for the loans
may be issued by the commission
to provide additional funds. These
bonds will be gilt edged, five per cent
bonds, non-taxable and receivable as
collateral security for the deposit of
any public funds, and are approved
for the investment of trust and sink
ing funds.
Oklahoma is the first state to en-
bark intelligently and with a substan-
tial fund behind it on a plan of "home
ownership and the eyes of the ma.
ton are upon this economic expert |
nent. 1t should solve, in time, the |
problem of farm tenancy and inaugu-
ate a practicable and rational back
o the farm" movement
This department will in no way
conflict with or infringe upon The de-
'artment that has in charge the loan
ng of the common school funds of
he state. 1t has charge of an en-
irely distinct fund and is designed
o handle a different class of loans.
The commissioners expect to COM
lete the organization and begin max
ng loans in August.

A NATIONAL PARK
FOR NEW MEXICO

NOM NEW
The question Of creating a ma
tional park in the Jemez mountains
Of this state, to be known as the
National Park of the Cliff Cities,
is now being agitated by the vari-
Gus papers.
California. Oregon, Washington,
Montana, Wyoming and Colorado
have one or more national parks,
that the Government a~dvertises in
a special book, besides doing thous-
ands of dollars of work for the inn
provement Of them. The national
parks are also made prominent
features Of all railroad maps. The
result Is that they draw the tourist
traffic as nothing else will. Last
year three hundred thousand pe0-
pie visited the national parks; and
probably half a million this year.
The local expenditure would aver
age $40 a person. From this it is
readily seen what an annual flow
of wealth these parks bring into
the state, benefitting every portion
of it.
Two bills for the creation of the
national park of the Cliff Cities
died in the last session of Congress
without ever having a hearing in
the Committees on Public Lands
to which they were referred.
The bills will be re-introduceC
in the coming Congress, and re.
ferred to the same committees
Whatever may be the action of Con.
gress on these bills, the State OF
New Mexico is entitled to a hear
ing, and the influence of the West
ern Liberal will be exerted to SCI
that she gets such a hearing.

The National Park
of the Cliff Cities

(For the following statement,
the Liberal is indebted to Mr.. W..
B. Douglass, u. S. Surveyor of the
General Land Office, who is at
Stems, N. NJ, at the present time,
who represented Governor Nc
Donald and the Santa Fe Cham
Der of Commerce before the last
session of Congress, in a fight for
the Park. Mr.. Douglass has had
extensive experience in these mat
ters. He discovered the worlds
greatest natural bridge in Utah,
which he named the Rainbow
Bridge, suggested by it's shape,
and surveyed it as a national
monument. The Navajo National
Monument, embracing many inn
Iportant ruins, was surveyed by him,
and on his recommendation, made a
national monument.)
1t is known to all students of an
thropology, that mankind followed
the same trail in travelling from
the animal-like state to the highest
order of civilization. In the old
world the dawn of culture took
place thousands of years before the
Christian era; but in the New
World it is but yesterday, and al
most touches hands with the his
toric period. This renders the
prehistoric ruins of America full
of exceptional interest to the
worlds anthropologists in their
study of the origin of culture.
At no other point within the
United States can this study be car
ried on so successfully as in New
Mexico. On the eastern slope OF
the Jemez mountains are to be
found seven centers of an ancient
culture of a mysterious and lost
people. It was a dawning civiliza-
tior that reached its high tide here
and then, for unknown reasons, was
swept away long before Columbus
reached America. The principal
building of these people, was q com,
munal building, with its thousand
or more cell-like rooms, rising in
terraces from a prominent table.
rock, around which cluster thous.
ands of cavite rooms cut into the
soft tufa rock.
The largest of the cliff cite,
is Puye. The communal building
had about two thousand rooms
while it would require a walk Of
about five miles to pass all III
cliff dwellings.
To the west, overlooking .Puye
on the Tsikomo mountain, 11,40l
feet above sea level, is the grea

Indians, that no doubt was thu
