only official palace in America, and un
doubtedly one of the oldest buildings
standing in the country. Santa Fe il
closely identified with the Spanish con
guest of Mexico and the southern part oi
the United States, and visitors will find
many buildings and places whose history
reaches back to the sixteenth century. liz
the country near the city are Indian
pueblos which are of great interest, and
the many fete days observed by the In
dians and descendants of the old Spanish
conquerors are we'll worth trip from
distant states to witness.
sANITARIUM AND OBJECT.
ut is the intention CT the Santa Fe In
dustrial Sanitarium company to establish
upon its property an institution which in
many respects will be radically different
from any sanitarium now in existence.
1t is well known fact that congenial oc.
cupation is great factor in restoring
broken health. Acting upon this idea the
company will carry out the following
plan:
"The 11,20O acres of land will be divid-
ed and set apart for three purposes:
"(1) Fifty acres will be set aside for
a sanitarium building, upon which tract
will be erected large sanitarium build
ing by eminent physicians in st. Louis.
In this building will be provided enter
tainment and treatment for those who are
wealthy or able to spend the time in
recreation. The mountains just back of
the site furnishing best of hunting
grounds, while in the mountain streams
is found the finest trout fishing in the
world. (2) the 1000 acres nearest the
city will be divided into two and five
acre tracts, cottage erected upon each
tract, fruit trees set out and the soil pre-
pared for cultivation. In these cottages
will be placed those persons and families
who are seeking health, but not able
financially to make an extended stay;
from the grounds connected they will be
able to pay their expenses by raising
fruit, poultry and vegetables, which will
all find market at remunerative prices.
Those who desire to lease larger tract
for term of years and engage in sugar
beet culture will be assisted in every way
possible and land furnished them; (3) all
that part of the property controlled by
the company which cannot be irrigated
will be fenced in and converted into a
park. 1t will be planted with pine tree
seeds, stocked with deer, quail and tur-
keys, and in less than ten years time
paying forest will be established while
the game thereon will prove a valuable
adjunct to the sanitarium tables.
"The company commands ample capi-
tai to carry out these plans, and in the
mountains is stored an abundance of
water to assure the success of the indus
trial feature of the enterprise.
BENEFIT TO RAILROADS.
"The climate of New Mexico is attract
ing the attention of healthseekers all over
the world, and within the next five years
thousands of people will come here. They
must be transported. An increase of
well-to-do citizens means correspond
ing increase in freight business. The
beet sugar factory to be erected as soon
as sufficient acreage of beet producing /
farms can be gotten ready to supply the
rev raterial, will furnish great tonnage
of freight, etc.
