relatively warmer in winter and cooler in
summer than other places having nearly
the same annual temperature. Compare
the difference between the coolest month

IN Santa Fe the monthly range is 1913, in
boston, 451; Albany, 49,4; Buffalo, 44.s;
Detroit, 446; Grand Haven, 43.7; North
Platte, 52.3: We find that Santa Fe has the

temperature Of Wisconsin and Michigan,
and the winter temperature of central

favorable summers that resident of SPRING

Iuch waters as flow through this deep cut in
;he mountains and supply the city of Santa

If the fruit farms. The water is absolutely
)ure, cold and fresh from the melting
nows above, or trckling from springs in
he mountain side 1t is free from all lime,
slkali or other ingredients so very injurious
10 the consumptive patient. Such water Is
great boon anywhere and at any time, but
lere, where other features of sunshine and
1ure air combine to produce an ideal
climate, it is of special value"
