Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of a sanitarium, she is not davc:d of in

Here is interest for the studious histor-

abundance, usually commanding C. better

THE WATERS OF SANTA ".
Dr.. j. F. Banter, vice president OF the
American Health Resort association, says.
ut 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 tsicklinc
from springs in the mountain side. 1t 10

THE MILITARY POST,
IT. Marcy, at Santa, Fe is tho oldest
established military station on Amt ,ican

garrisoned by headquarters, the band
and two companies of the 10th u. s. In
fantry under command of Col. E. p.
