Pecos Summer Resort.

Peter Powers was in from Glorieta yes
terday and arranged for furnishing a new
summer resort ON the upper Pecos, where
he will make it comfortable and pleasant
for all summer visitors. Attention is
called to his advertisement, which ap-
pears elsewhere. Mr.. Powers will con-
tinue to run his hotel at Glorieta and
thence will put on vehicles to carry tour
lists to his upper house near Coopers
place. There is no more delightful spot
in the Rockies than the upper Pecos re-
gion and those in quest of either rest or
sport will find there this season better
facilities than ever for enjoying them
selves.

THE GRAND ARMY.


The northern New Mexico delegates to
the seventh annual encampment, &. A.
r., department of New Mexico, leave to-
morrow for Socono. The convention
opens at Socorro on Thursday and will
be in session three days. The A., T. &
S. F. company has granted round trip
rate OF "a for the occasion, and prepare
tons have been made by the Socor-
roites for an elaborate entertainment of
the visitors.
The Santa Fe delegation goes with the
hope that the next encampment, in Feb
ruary next, may be held in this city. At
that time the legislature will he assem-
bled, the supreme court will be in ses-
sion and it is thought that the G. A. X.
men will be glad to 30 arrange their bust
ness as to permit them to visit the cap
ital at that time.
With reference to the next national en-
campment, which takes place in Boston,
the NEW MEXICAN is to-day in receipt of
circular from headquarters, signed by
Chairman Hume, Lowell building No.
2, A Beacon street, Boston, in which he
says:
/. Do you desire free quarters?
2. How many do YOU expect to bring?
8. For how long time do you wish to
engage quarters?
Mechanics building has been engaged
for the use OF members of the Grand Arny
of the Republic. The committee will
furnish mattresses, but can not provide
blankets. A restaurant will be established
in the building, 80 that all can purchase
their meals at reasonable rates.
Parties wishing hotel accommodations,
or accommodations in boarding or lodging
houses, will be located to the best of our
ability. The prices of hotel accommoda-
tons range from 80 to IS per day, Ameri-
can plan, according to the class Of hotel.
Rooms at hotels on the European plan
can be obtained for 81 and upward per
day. Rooms at lodging houses can be
had for SO cents to 81 per day, according
to location. Meals can be obtained at rs
cents and upward per meal.
We are making thorough canvass of
the city, and it will be our earnest en-
deavor to obtain only first class ACT ommo-
dations.
