Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of a sanitarium, she is not devc:d of in
terest. The health seeker should nevaf
go to dull place. Ennui and lstless
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Here is interest for the studious histor-
ian, the gay sportsman or the mere sight
seer If you have energy enough to move
around you can not be dull amid such
surroundings.
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Badly lifts a snowy dome in
winter, and his steeply sloping forested
sides in summer rival his winter beauty.
In the winter the full moon at night and
! the sun by day turn his crest into q
diadem of brilliants. To the west the
Jemez and Vale mountains, scarcely less
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect tho
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back.
ground for all this splendor.

such waters rs flow through this deep cut

is of special value"
