SEEING COLORADO: cdW-
By REV. W. H. SCMROCK.
The Cliff Dwellings of the Mesa
Verde National Park, by far the most
picturesque of the prehistoric ruins
of the Southwest, are reached from
MancoS, Colo., a thriving little town
In the fertile Manqos valley. Our
party reached this place on (he after
noon of the day before , which the
contemplated . trip was mod-). Ar
rangements were completed with C.
B. Kelly fof Our transportation and
a visit was paid H. M. Randolph, the
genial and courteous superintendent
of the park. Early the next morning
we found ourselves on the way, en-
Joying the bracing air that blew from
the mountains, and the ride of fif
teen miles in a wagonette. Heavy
roads retarded our progress some
what, but the first and easier stage
of the trip was completed in good
time, lunch was eaten, wagonette
had been disbanded, horses chafing
the bit had been mounted, and all
were in readiness for the ascent of
the trail, when, to our dismay, we
beard the peals of thunder resound
ing from the mountains not far dis
tant. The storm approached so rap
idly that we scarcely had time to dis
mount and get under cover. The
rain fell In torrents, but soon sub
sided and the ascent was begun. The
rain had rendered the adobe ' soil
soft and very slippery, and It was
with great diffculty that the top was
reached. Horses unused to moun
tain climbing would have failed ut
terly. As it was, several fell, and
the riders were scared all but ' to
death, and not without cause. In
fact we all felt that it had been the
most thrilling experience of our life.
The summit, reached there was
spread before the eye one of the
most charming scenes ever witnessed.
The beautiful Montezuma valley,
dotted with vast patches of green
with Cortez in the center Btretched
out for many miles before the gaze
of the beholder. In the distance
rearing their maJesMc heads we saw
the mountains of New Mexico, Ari-
was to declare that there is no such
thing as colic, which, after the
"spell" bad passed, was not bard to
believe. ,
Breakfast over with eager step,
we hastened to the eastern spur of
Cliff Canyon two miles distant to
visit Cliff palace, the largest of these
Quaint dwellings, which is built un
der the roof of an enormous c
which arches from fifty to one hun
dred feet above It. Access is gained
with comparative ease, the only real
ly difficult place being a very nar
row passage between two immense
rocks, called "fat man's misery.
The floor of the cavern In which the
palace is built is several hundred
feet above the bottom of the canyon.
The entrance faces the west, and,
looking across the opposite side.
there may be seen on the top of
great promontory the ruin of an an
cient pueblo, now a pile of stones.
Cliff palace practically covers the en.
the floor of this recess and is about
J 06 feet long, two thirds of which Is
under the shelterng of the cave roof,
and is thus protected from rain or
the dripping of water from the rim
of the canyon above.
The houses are arranged in form
of a crescent, the curve of the vll-
in following that of the rear of
the cave in which it is built. There
Is not much regularity In the ar
rangements of the rooms, and gen
erally they are not crowded together,
There Is one passageway on the
ground floor that may be called a
street, which Is bordered by a high
wall over which the passer-by could
not look. It is difficult to say just
how many rooms there were orig
inally, but there must have been no
less than two hundred.
The rooms seem to have been ar
ranged with consideration for the
social divisions of the inhabitants.
The population must have been com
posed of a number of units or clans.

At four o'clock our hearts were
