hills for thirty-seven years past, has 
grown old and weather-beaten, and un- 
less rebuilt in a measure, or a new one 
erected in its place, the building within 
a brief period will not bear the weight 
of the throngs that oftentimes crowd 
its stairways, and must eventually be 
closed. 
It is possible, however, that a new 
and towering structure, built of gray- 
heads and cement, may within a year 
or so be erected upon the site of the 
present structure. Rumor has it that a 
citizen who. desirous of building some 
memorial to the memory of a dead 
member of his family, in addition to a 
monument, has in contemplation the 
building of such a structure and pre- 
senting it to the cemetery association. 
Such a memorial would be noted and 
enjoyed by thousands and would be 
remembered forever in the name of the 
donor. Nothing definite has, however, 
been arranged in this direction.

ten years ago, at a price of 6.5 cents 
a square foot, of which 40 cents went 
into the perpetual fund and 25 cents to 
the city. There are about four miles 
of roads and 400 natural trees on the 
grounds. There is a granite receiving 
vault with a capacity of 75 bodies, and 
a wooden chapel building. E. C. Smith 
is superintendent. 
Hare & Hare, landscape architects, of 
Kansas City, have prepared original de- 
signs and plans for a graceful and sub- 
stantial little shelter house, for which 
they can furnish working drawings and 
specifications. They suggest that the 
structure, which is illustrated herewith, 
lie built of brick covered with stucco. 
For this purpose cheap second-hand 
shelters in the charming little wooded 
valley shown in the picture, and their 
simple character and the manner in 
which they have been made a part of 
the landscape may be seen in the illus- 
tration of the one in the foreground 
that is covered with a luxuriant growth 
of climbers and almost hidden by shrub- 
bery. These shelters cost about $300 
each. 
The valley seen in the photograph is 
about 600 yards along and 300 feet 
wide, and is traversed by a little brook 
over which a rustic bridge has been 
built. Valley Cemetery is controlled by 
the city, and includes twenty' acres, with 
a total of about 7,000 interments, a 
yearly average of about 100. There is 
about $70,000 in the perpetual care fund. 
All the perpetual care tract was sold
