can show such stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek

death from tubercuar disease the New
Mexico rate is only 3 in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
mach lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptiye death
rate is 25 out of every 1000 of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is II, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring CHI
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter

which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, frat erected shortly after 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
detes from about 17l6; but it is full of
interest, as every room is consecrated by
the memory of thrilling events. In this
building Gen. Lew Wallace wrote his
famous Ben Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
1890 and SIN stands. BY its side is the

st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga- p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the Oldest civilized com
inunity in the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first founded. Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from chat time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport, Mo-, gave il a
world wide fame.
