Speaking of opera houses, A. G. Ireland
has in his possession a rough draft of a
most complete and convenient building

opera house and public hall, Office rooms,
etc., combination that is admirably
suited to the purposes of small town.
Such building as this must be erected
in Santa Fe in order to insure the owner
a safe profit on his investment. Placing
the rentals very low and allowing tor the
use of the hall but one night in each
week, Mr.. Ireland figures out return in
rentals on such a building of over $500
per month.

looking toward closer trade relations with
Santa Fe. Mr.. Morton expects to do a
big business this year in shipping prod
ucts of the soil from this point.
