| visitor, is the Mesa Verde, In south
western Colorado.
Discovered by Accident.
One December day in 1888 Richard
and Alfred Wetherall, searching for
lost cattle on the Mesa Verde, or green
mesa, near their home at Mancos,
Colo, pushed through dense growths
on the edge Of a deep canyon and
shouted aloud in establishment. Across
the canyon. tucked into a shelf under
the Overhanging edge of the opposite
brink. were the walls and towers of
what seemed TO them a palace. They
named it Cliff palace. Forgetting the
cattle in their excitement they
searched the edge of the mesa in all
directions. Near by. unders the over
hanging edge of another canyon, they
found similar group, no less majes-
tic, which they named Spruce Tree
house, because a large spruce grew out
of the ruins
Thus was discovered the home Of
the cliff dwellers. the most elaborate
and best-preserved prehistoric ruins
in America if not in the world. A
careful search of the entire mesa in
the years following resulted in many
other finds of interest and importance.
In 1906 congress set aside the region
as national park. Even yet it's treas
ures of antiquity are not all known. y
remarkable temple to the sun was I'M
earthed in 1915.
Cliff palace is the most celebrated
of the Mesa Verde ruins because it is
the largest and most prominent. 9th
ers are not less interesting and i'm
portant from a standpoint of history.
Spruce Tree house is next in size.
Balcony house and Peabody house are
equally well preserved. There are
many others; some which have yet to
be thoroughly explored, and probably
some still undiscovered.
Two Hundred Rooms in House.
Cliff palace is 800 feet long and con-
tanned probably 200 rooms. Spruce
Tree house is 216 feet long and was d.
,, vided into ia rooms. Spruce Tree
house originally had three stories and
its population was probably about $50
persons.
Until the summer of 1915 no struc-
lures had been discovered in the Mesa
Verde except those of the cliff-dwell-
ing type. Then the department Of the
interior explored a mound on the top
of the mesa opposite Cliff palace and
uDearthed Sun temple. DIR. ]. Walter
Fewkes. who conducted the explora-
ton. believes that this was built about
1900 A. D.. and marks the final stage
in Mesa Verde development.
Indians of today shun the ruins of
Mesa Verde. They believe them in
habited by spirits whom they call the
Little People. Ii is vain to tell them
that the Little People were their own
ancestors; they refuse to believe it.

Uncle Sam wants the people of the
United States TO use their national
parks and become acquainted with
their splendors.
To build legal fences around the
scenic beauties of the West is not
enough, holds Secretary Lane of the
| department of the interior. "Why have
great national Fairgrounds unless the
people play in them?' he asks. Let US
have our scenic splendors seen, he in
sists.
Hereby hangs the story of new
and interesting policy in the admins
tration of the national parks.
In these great reservations are TO be
found more of the mystery, majesty
and magnificence of the out of-doOrs
than can be found in any other coun-
try of the world. They contain rest
for the weary; spur for the sound
man and tonic for the weak; infinite
outlet for exuberant youth and new
yigor for the aged; and even this-life
for a dead imagination.
There are countless snow-crov'ned
mountains, waterfalls of dazzling vol
ume and dizzying descent, canyons
that seem like CULTS of eternity, trees

Climate and soil conditions, because
they affect the time and amount of the
