HISTORICAL.
Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of st.
Francis, is the capital of New Mexico, trade
center, sanitarium and Archepiscopal see.
An Indian Pueblo had existed on the site pre-
vious to the 18th century. Its name was
O-ga- p'ho-ge, but it was abandoned
before Coronado's time The Spanish town
of Santa Fe was founded in 1905, it is there
fore the second Oldest European settlement
still extant in the United States. In 1904
came the first venturesome American trader
tho forerunner of the great line of mer-
chants who have made tratfi C over the Santa
Fe trail, worldwide in its celebrity.
CITY OF SANTA FE.
The city lies in charming nook on the
west side of the Santa Fe range and is shell
tered from the northern winds by spur Of
low hills which extend from the mountains
west as far as the Rio Grande. 1t lies in the
center Of the valley at the mouth of pictur.
esque canon, the chief entrance to the Pecos
National Park, and through which runs the
Rio Santa Fe, a beautiful mountain stream,
having its rise in the Santa Fe range of
mountains. Its elevation is 1858 feet. Its
populatinn is 1850. 1t has good schools and
churches. There Is an excellent system of
water works. The city is lighted with gas
and electricity. 1t has more points of his
toric interest than any other place on the
North American continent. Land may be
purchased at prices to snit the rich or the
poor. Five acres in Santa Fe or vicinity
will produce more than can be produced
anywhere else in the world. Our markets
are close at hand and we can successfully
compete with any other locality. Since the
first frat tree was planted in the Santa Fe
valley there has been but one failure in the
fruit crop. What place, what country can
approach this record?
