The stop at Las Vegas was very
pleasing one. Short stops at Springer.
Wagon Mound and Watrous, all typ
ical New Mexican towns, brought the
tourlsts at 1890 o'clock this morning
to Las Vegas, the largest and prob
ably the best town yet made. The
stay here was until 2 O'Clock. but 1t
included side trip to Hot Springs,
which most Of the party made on spe-
cial trolley cars, one of which was
run by President Epperson OF the
road. This trip lasted thirtyfive min
utes each way, and was up the CALI
mas valley TO the Montezuma hotel.
The start was made as soon as the
train arrived. and most OF the party
returned In time for visits among the
business men, while others took
baths and dinner at the Montezuma.
The baths were luxurious and much
appreciated. as the alkali water here
abouts has been very disagreeable.

tory, and these we're visited. ~ were
