the sun by day turn his crest into Q

grand than the Santa Fe range reflect the
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back.

berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better

TIE WATERS OF SANTA ys.
Dr.. ]. F. Banter, vice president of the
American Health Resort association, says:
SIT is worth travelling miles to drink Of
such waters as flow through this deep cut
in the mountains and supply the city Of
Santa Fe for domestic purposes and for
irrigation of the fruit farms. The water
| is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
the melting SHOWS above, or trickling
from springs in the mountain side. 1t is
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
dients 40 very injurious to the consump-
tive patient. Such water is great booa
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features of sunshine and pure arr
combine to produce an ideal climate, il
is of special value"
