PARK AND CEMETERY.

and flanked everywhere by lesser peaks 
and tumbled mountain masses of smaller 
size in whose hollows lie the most beautiful 
lakes. 
Everywhere are mountain gorges of the 
utmost wildness: rushing rivers and water- 
falls; valleys clothed with pines right up to 
timber line where trees cannot grow be- 
cause it is too high and in winter too cold 
and wind}-. 
Imagine what all this looks like in sum- 
mer, and then go there yourself and you 
will find that you did not imagine even a 
small part of its real beauty. 
Down from the Continental Divide, 
which the crest of the mountains is called 
because it divides the streams that flow 
eastward into the Atlantic Ocean from those 
that flow westward into the Pacific, descend 
nineteen principal valleys, seven on the 
east side and twelve on the west. Through 
these valleys run the rivers from the gla- 
ciers far up on the mountains. 
Many of these valleys have not yet been 
thoroughly explored. It is probable that 
some of them have never been even en- 
tered except by Indians ; for there are In- 
dians still living during the summers in the 
Glacier National Park. The great Black- 
feet Indian Reservation, one of the many 
tracts of land set apart for the Indians still 
remaining in this country, adjoins the Gla- 
cier National Park on the west. North- 
wards, the park adjoins the Waterton 
Lakes Park in Canada. 
There are 250 known lakes. Probably 
there are small ones in the wilder parts 
which white men have not yet even seen. 
This region was not visited by white men 
till 1853, when a government engineer ex- 
ploring for a route to the Pacific Ocean 
ascended one of the creeks by mistake and 
returned when he found that no railroad 
could be built there. The next explorers 
were engineers who went in to establish 
the Canadian boundary line in 1861. 
In 1890 copper was found at the head of 
Quartz Creek, and there was a rush of 
prospectors. In 1896 Congress bought the 
land east of the Continental Divide from 
the Blackfeet Indians, but not enough cop- 
per was found to pay for the mining. Since 
then few persons went there but big-game 
hunters till 1910, when it was made a na- 
tional park. 
There are now several very fine hotels 
and several camps on the east side. Ivlost 
of the tourists go there, but the west side 
is wonderfully beautiful, too, and hotels 
and camps are found there also. 
There are a few good roads for automo- 
biles and trails for walking and horseback 
riding. A railroad touches its southern 
boundary. 
Other parks will be described and illus- 
trated in future issues.

KNOLLWOOD CEMETERY, CLEVELAND, OHIO 
KnolUvood Cemetery, one of the newer 
of the modern cemeteries of Cleveland, 
Ohio, was organized in 1908, but did not 
commence business on an important scale 
until 1912. Since then some .500 lots have 
been sold. 
The cemetery is situated on one of the 
highest points in Cuyhoga County, and has 
good natural drainage and sewers seven 
feet deep around the sections. 
The ground is rolling, and there is a park 
tract of sixteen acres at the entrance, an 
attractive gateway with granite |)illar.s, .\ 
paved road and boulevard leads from 
Cleveland to the cemetery, thirteen miles 
from the public square. 
Knollwood is on the Gates Mill car line 
and funeral cars can be securefl at reason- 
able prices. 
The recent paving of Mayfield boulevard 
affords an excellent paved road from Eu- 
clid avenue to the main entrance of the 
cemetery. 
The grounds include 217 acres of which 
25 are at iiresent in use. The entire ceme- 
tery is under perpetual care and 10 per cent 
of the price of all lots is i)laced in the per- 
petual care fund. The snperinteinient's 
residence, chapel and other buildings on 
the grounds are valued at $25,000. The 
grounds were laid out by Paul Heinze, of 
Detroit, and have been developed on the 
modern lawn plan. 
At funerals a large tent, grave lining 
and lowering device are furnished free of 
charge. 
They expect in the near future to build 
a fine chapel and receiving \ault, waiting 
room and offices. There are about forty- 
five acres of wooded land on the grounds. 
The cemetery is managed by a Board of 
I'rustees, and the following arc the officers: 
D. G. McIntyre, President: Dr. J, J. Buel, 
Treasurer; W. II. Weblier, Secretary and 
Manager. 
I'Mllowing are tlie rules of the cemetery 
regarding momnncntal work :
