summer than other places having nearly
the same annual temperature. Compare

In Santa Fe the monthly range is 1913, in
Boston, 45.1; Albany, 49.4; Buffalo, AS;
Detroit, 44.6: Grand Haven, 437; North
Platte, 1913: We find that Santa Fe has the
spring temperature of northern Illinois and
Indiana, the summer temperature of north
ern Wisconsin and Michigan, the autumn

favorable summers that a resident of Spring
