HISTORICAL.
Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith Of

An Indian pueblo had existed on the
site previous to the 18th century. Its
name was O-ga-p'ho-ge, but it had been
abandoned long before Coronado's time.
The Spanish town of Santa Ee was found
ed in 1905, it is therefore the second old
est European settlement still extant in
the United States. In 1904 came the
first venturesome American trader -
the forerunner OF the great line of mer-
chants who nave made traffic over the
Santa Fe worldwide in its celebrity.
