perb Conditions.
A HIGHLY. ENTHUSIASTIC VISITOR.
Where the Very Spectre of Death is Wis
ible the Ruddy Glow Of Health

| Ut. a. >. conner, a prominent phNsl-
clan OF Scranton, Pa, who has been in
the valley for the past week on a trip
of pleasure and recreation, let Monday
for Scranton, highly enthusiastic over
what he has seen in this section of the
of the country. In talking to News
representative he said
Your climate is magnificent! 1t is
unsurpassed in any portion of the world
and it is but matter Of few years
and a little development, until thous-
ands of healthseekerS will yearly take
advantage of the superb climate, and
winter here. Thousands whose hold
on life is but flimsy web of hope will
breathe the health giving atmosphere
of the Sacramento mountain region,
and whore the very spectre of death
itself was visible the ruddy glow of
health will once more brighten their
countenances.
Il am free to say, after a careful in
vestigation, that for pulmonary troubles
it is not surpassed by that of any other
climate on the globe, and for the worn
out man of business, a few weeks re-
creation in the pure air and glorious
sunshine, will give him zeal that will
infuse new life into his existence. Even
though | hare been here but few
weeks l already feel like a new man.
Your climate is so mild that even the
worst suffers from pulmonary troubles
will find it an ideal wintering place
Il am surprised to find so much of
the modern in western town the size
of Alamogordo. The large, substan-
tial buildings, the magnificent water
works system, tt.ar indeed many of the
arger cities could well feel proud of
such a system,) the electric light plant,
the two immense lumber mills, and
other signs of progress and develop
ment, while source of surprise to me,
prove conclusively that within few
years Alomogordo is to become one of
the leading cities of the entire South
west, and Otero the richest county in
the territory of New Mexico.
"Your progress has evidently not
stopped with the acheivments mention
ed above. The work of development
yet goes on. With the-advcnt of artes-
ian water, the whole valley will be dot
ted with magnificent fruit and stock
farms.
II understand that within few
miles Of the city are immense lodges of
marble and building stone which is being
opened and will soon be on the market.
This will prove a very valuable enter
prise to the place and will contribute
largely to its growth.
"The acre tracts which the Improve
ment company has placed on the mar
ket aud which are being set with fruit
trees will be source of pride to the
city and of revenue to the purchasers.
II have visited the new town of Capt.
tan and the coal fields and believe
the coal supply to be inexhaustable.
There is great stock and farming coun-
try around CAPTAIN and 1t cannot he p
making good town. Several business
buildings have already been erected
and many more are in process of CON
struction there. An air of progression
characterizes the work there which in
sures the rapid growth of the place"
The d ctor will probably return to
this locality in few months with a
view to investing here. He is shrewd
in business, cultured and aifable gem
tleman, AMI the sort of FELLOW that
makes his influence felt In any locality.
He cannot return too soon to suit the
many people who met him while here.
