There was an extraordinarily dry spring and by July 3, the beginning of the "Hourist rush," the water shortage was acute. Construction work was stopped, and all road gangs and teams were sent out of the park In an effort to conserve water for visitors. And right then the discovery of nearly 200 dams built by the Cliff Dwellers saved the situation by showing the moderns how the ancients got an unfailing supply of water, no matter what the vagaries of the weather. Two quick showers furnlshed water enough to fill two reservoirs hastily constructed on the rim rock at the head of Spruce Tree canyon. One and a half miles of gathering draining ditches were dug. "Other work was doho. And then, along In August, came a succession of cloudbursts that filled up everything to overflowing. This prehistoric reservoir system is most Interesting.

Spruce Tree Cauip hotel, with all its apr _ l p u r t e n a n c e s , h a s b e e n m o v e d t o Hj an admirable location overlooking Spruce Tree and Navajo canyons. V This was necessary because of the steadily increasing attendance year by year and enlargement was not practicable on the old site. Mesa Verde can never compete in tourists with other national parks like Rocky Mountain and Yellowstone for the reason that It is tucked away In the extreme southwest corner of Colorado, 500 miles from Denver, the travel center. Moreover, it is an educational park, rather than scenic.* Nevertheless, the attendance last summer was 100 per cent larger than in 1920. The picturesque Rock Springs Trail has been opened from park headquarters' at Spruce Tree camp to the west boundary of the park, opening up some hitherto loaccessible ruiop of great Importance, as will be seen later. These Include Mug House, Jug House, Kodak House, Long House, Pouble House, Ruin 16, Step House and Pinnacle Tower. This is the greatest group of ruins in tbe park, with the exception of the Chapln Mesa group. Visitors will find a new museum building--and In it some new exhibits of unusual interest and Importance. There will be plenty of water on tap this summer-- thanks to the discovery of a system of. prehistoric darns and reservoirs in a little canyon opening off Soda canyon. And maybe this system is not interesting! Of course Mesa Verde is well worth seeing for Its unusual scenic features, aside from Its antiquities. This public playground lias real beauty, especially after the early summer rains when the Juniper and pinon trees are at their best on the Green Table Land. It is a high plateau, 15 miles by 8, from which the visitor looks over the variegated scenery of four states--Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. Park Point (8,575 feet) Is the highest elevation in the park. Point Lookout (8,428 feet) tops the mesa. The northern edge of the mesa terminates In a precipitous bluff of 2,000 feet. From it one looks over the giyat Montezuma valley, with its irrigation reservoirs and fertile fields, as from an airplane. In the distance are shadowy purplo masses--the Rico Mountains and Lone Dome of Colorado and the La Sals, Blues and Bears' Ears of Utah. To the south the mesa slopes to the Mancos river and beyond is the Navajo reservation, surrounded by the deep blue Carrisos of Arizona and the Luka Chukas and Tunichas of New Mexico. And, 45 miles away, from the midst of a sandy plain rises Ship Rock, 1,604 feet high, which at sunset one is ready to swear is a great old-fashioned wind-jammer under full saiL Mesa Verde, however, was not made a national park because of its scenic beauty. Its primary purpose is educational. It Is a museum of antiquities, in which ail the archeologlcal world has an abiding interest. Mesa Verde was the home of that mysterious prehistoric people we call the Cliff Dwellers. Its ruins and relics are the finest in all the American Southwest and in tbe world. Tbe American Southwest was old in civilization many centuries before Columbus discovered America. Coronado, searching for the "Seven Cities of Cibola" in 1539, found the ZunI Indians of New Mexico living in great community houses or pueblos, with not even traditional knowledge of the Cliff Dwellers. Scientists are now of the belief that the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde were abandoned by the Cliff Dwellers about 1,300 years ago. Any estimate of how long they had lived there before they disappeared from the face of the earth Is guesswork. The mesa In Mesa Verde slopes gradually from its abrupt rise at the north end to the valley of the Mancos at the south. Into this valley open many small, high-walled canyons. In the shelter of caves in the sides of these canyons are the best preserved habitations of the Cliff Dwellers In America. In prehistoric times a considerable population lived there. They practiced agriculture on the mesa above, raising corn, often by irrigation. They worshiped the sun. They possessed Don't wonder whether you can dye or tint successfully, because perfect home dyeing is guaranteed with "Diamond Dyes" even if you have never dyed before. Druggists have all colors.

Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved In the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this Idea in mind h« consolmd physicians, made eltpeHments finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from bis system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, to others who took It, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instructed druggists everywhere to dispense Allenrhu with the understanding that if the first pint bottle doen not show the way to complete recoveiy he will gladly return your money without comment. 1 - Mail orders filled by BUCK & RAYNER DRUG STORES CHICAGO, ILL. issm/stmBRmkmniir ma Brtak ThaeCMcmd , Make Ybt* Fit Tamomm.

They wove sandals and baskets. They shaped stones Into regular forms and laid masonry that has resisted the ages. They evidently advanced In civilization during their residence in Mesa Verde. There are hundreds of cliff dwellings in the canyons of Mesa Verde. Among the more famous are these: Spruce Tree House, with 114 rooms and an estimated population of 350; Cliff Palace, about three times the size of'Spruce Tree House; Balcony House, a remarkable defensive site; Fire Temple, a house of worship; Square Tower House. On the surface of the mesa several pretentious structures have already been uncovered and others- await tbe excavator. Sun Temple has 1,000 feet of walls. Far View House, probably a pueblo, is 100 by 113 feet. And now Jesse L. Nusbaum announces that he has found in Mesa Verde relics of a people who antedated the CUlf Dwellers. Mr. Nusbaum is superintendent of Mesa Verde National park under the national park service^ ft bureau of the Interior department. He Is also an archeologlst of note and has been identified with researches in Guatemala and in various parts of thd Southwest. He served as a major of ordnance in the World war. Visitors to Mesa Verde the coming season will have a cliance to see these relics in tbe new park mjuseum. And it may be that Superintendent- Archeologlst Nusbaum will hnve more to show. He Is now snowed In for the winter at Mesa Verde. Bi#t he is not hibernating. On the contrary, encouraged by the national park service, he is devbting ^very energy to the search for more relics. Here are some of the things Superintendent Nusbaum had to say about his discoveries at 8te0 Hoyse, before he went intb winter quarters: "The new Rock Springs Trail leading to the wsst side of the park has made it possible to visit many of the large ruins never before accessible to park visitors," said Mr. Nusbaum. "On this trail, st a ruin called Step House, enough evidence was found on the surface to establish the fact firmly that even before the beginning of the Christian era, Indians made their homes In the same caves in whlchtthe Cliff Dwellers later built their honMM above the ruins of this early civilization. "Evidence of this civilization, which is known to archeologists as that of the post-basketmaker*, has been found in northeastern Arizona and la northwestern New Mexico, but has never before been found in Colorado. "These post-basketmakers were the first people to begin the making of pottery, and shreds of the!* crude ware have been examined. It was found that cedar bark was used to temper the clay and prevent it from cracking during the process of drying.' Naturally, in the burning, this was destroyed and as a result the pottery was of a more or less crude and porous variety. It Is underrated and is the earliest type of pottery now known to exist in tbe Southwest. It is of an adobe color with rather a pinkish or yellowish cast." Mr. Nusbaum has in his possession specinMta# of this pottery as well as specimens of basket* that these ancient people made. Most of tbe baskets are of the fine-colled variety. ' ' "There is only one culture in the Southwest at the present time that Is known to antedate that of the post-basketmakers," said Mr. Nusbaum. "Already in the museum collection at Mesa Verde specimens are on exhibit which have been collected In tbe park and Indicate that tne earlier basketmaker people likewise Inhabited this region. If such is the case, possibly this winter a basketmaker cave may be located and tbe history of primitive man in Colorado will be carried bask to a period of possibly ten centuries before the birth of Christ** One of the finds in the park that makes Mr. Nusbaum reasonably sure that that region was once Inhabited by peoples of the earliest known A Standard for 90 Yearti v As a laxative and blood purifier there Is nothing better than Brandreth Pills.

SO and 90 cant 1 RheumatjsmffySy dams w«re constructed in the bottom of the canyon and In nearly all the available draws leading into the main channel where flood waters could be Intercepted and stored. The highest dam so fat found is a few inches over five feet In height, and the extreme length of any dam Is approximately forty feet. These were so built In a series (eightysix In quarter mile in the main canyon), that the extreme water level in the lower one reached to tbe base of the next dam above. Many of them are less than fifteen feet apart, and some are but a foot or two in height Water could have never been carried directly from the reservoirs to the fields above because of the depth of the reservoirs below the availably fanning land. Women and children evidently followed the method of many of the present Puoblo Indians, carrying jars of water on the head, over1 the trails to the crops to be irrigated. During heavy showers, the upper reservoirs were the first to fill and as they overflowed, the lowe? dams were filled. Since they were all for tbe most part built directly on the great sandstone cap which forms the upper 150 to 200 feet of the Mesa Verde; tbe water was rapidly absorbed by the sandstonu and soon disappeared from the reservoirs above* But it was not lost. Separating the upper cap of sandstone from the lower of equal thickness is an impervious seam of shale from a few inches to a foot or more In thickness, and since this has; a slope to the southward, the water seeping' through from the reservoirs above, saturated the sandstone to this Impervious shale seam, and followed it southward with the slope of the country to the point where It was exposed at Its confluence with tbe main canyon. Live springs were maintained at the exposed shale seam, and only in this way could water be obtained through lonp periods of drought which still persist on the Mesa Verde. ' Adopting the methods of the ancient Cliff Dwellers, two large dams were constructed on the rim rock at the head of Spruce canyoa, above tbe old stock reservoir, and drainage ditches were constructed to Increase tbe surface run off that could be conducted to these reservoirs. Four more reservoirs will be constructed above this first series this coming season. At tbe head of the canyon 100 to 150 feel below a trench nearly 350 feet long gathers "the water which filters through the thick sandstone cap or natural filter, and conducts it to cement cisterns from which it is pumped 175 feet above to the storage tanks where It is held for - camp uses. The larger the series of reservoirs above, the • greater the area of sandstone that is saturated.- and since the movement of the water through the great bed of sandstone is slow, the water which enters the reservoirs in the^ early spring* from the melting snows is the water which carries the camp through the long summer periods of drought. "The water when regained Is of the finest quality, no matter how dirty It appears above," said Mr. Nusbaum^ "To corroborate this statement, the state chemist at Boulder reported that even when the water was at its worst and lowest stage in the reservoirs above, only 426 bacteria were found in the unit sample submitted, which is a remarkably low count. Because of the vast filter in use, the water Is particularly clear anj} is nearly as cold as ice water." . ^ , Some sincerity only asks for Its acceptance.
