of Tularosa (the flower of the lilies
looking out from its plateau elevation
of some 4,550 feet above the level of
the sea, the town commands most en-
chanting view of the surrounding cOun-
try, which by the way includes some of
the finest stock, farming and fruit

for that matter. Tularosa has popu-

Fifteen miles to the northeast towers

the territory. Off to the east, and run
ming south to the Texas linz a distance
OF 100 miles, stretches the timber COW
cred range of the Sacramento moun-
taius, veritable treasure house in fine
spruce and fir. This range is broken
at frequent intervals by broad and
fertile valleys, holding some of the best
farming land to be found anywhere in
the west. This is the only section of
New Mexico where crops can be grown
to high state of perfection without
the aid of irrigation. The average al
titude in this mountain region is about
1000 feet above the sea level, and the
pure water from its thousand of clear
mountain streams, combined with pure
atmosphere, makes it an ideal spot for
the healthseeker as well as for the home
seeker.
Fifty miles to the west of Tularosa
and running parallel with the Sacra-
mento range, is the San Andreas
range. Between the two ranges, lies
the valley of Lost River. Here are
located the largest gypsum beds 10 the
world, covering an area of nearly 1000
square miles.
TularOsa was settled in 1862. The
original townsite embraces 800 acres of
land, laid out into blocks 800 feet
square, intersected by streets 40 feet
