HOTEL LOBB|ES
Surprised that Santa Fe was on a
Branch Line of Great A. T. & S.
r. System. H5

Henry Hoyt Moore. Of New York City,
editor of the Outlook, who is in the city
| for few days, says that he was aston
ished to ind that Santa Fe, which gave
to the great Santa Fe railroad system $
name, was on branch line instead OF
being on the main road, and that 1t was
not so very easy to get into the town.
On starting from New York, Mr.. Moore
was naturally of the opinion that the
railroad ran comfortable sleepers
through to this historic city. $50 far
as have gone," said Mr.. Moore, 81 find
Santa Fe to be the most interesting
town on my entire journey from Gotham
to the Grand Canon of the Colorado. l
am informed that an encyclopedia that
have consulted gives me wrong i'm
preston as to the population OF Santa
Fe. as have learned since coming to
New Mexico that there has been a
gradual, although not large, increase. :"
zone thing that have found very
noticeable during my short sojourn here
is the absence of race suicide, particu-
larly among the native people.
II am very favorably impressed with
your climate, and find it cool, pleasant
and exhilarating. The historic features
and scenic attractions here are OF the
greatest interest to us eastern people,
and I am glad / came to visit this, the
oldest seat of government in what is
now the United States. certainly
have obtained great pleasure and con-
siderable valuable Information for my
days visit in Santa Fe. am on vaca-
tion, simply, and am out for few weeks
rest and recreation. The more see of
YOUR country the more l am convinced
that made no mistake in choosing New
Mexico and Arizona for my trip

New Mexico Can Stand 1t.
New Mexico can stand it," was the
expression used by Robert L. McCance,
of Pittsburg, Pa, auditor OF the Santa
Fe Central Railway, who was a guest
at the Claire, last evening regarding
the gravity of the strike of the pack
ing house employees throughout the
country. Mr.. McCance knows. He
had just laid aside copy of the Cleve-
land, Ohio, Press, which contained an
itemized statement of the advance
prices of meat that have gone into
effect in different eastern cities since
the strike was declared last week.
'Like a large number of others, | can
not get along without meat" continued
Mr.. McCance, "but on the other hand,
have already remained in Santa Fe
a week longer than expected on ar
irving here l always make 1T point
to combine business with pleasure on
visiting Santa Fe. know of no other
place Just like it, and would remain for
some time but for the fact that am
now due in Kansas City. l go to El
Paso, Texas, today, but Ell Paso is not
Santa Fe, and I will be there but
short time. Santa Fe for me whec |
am at leisure in the southwest. They
tell me that this city has been suffer-
ing on account of lack of water, but
during all the time have been here
have seen no real suffering. Why, to
my knowledge, Santa Fe. with popu'
lation of 5000, has smaller death
rate than any eastern city that l visit
of double the size. During my many |
visits here have known OF but one
who had been a resident of the city
for any length of time, to pass away,
and one of the first questions | ask on
coming here is: Anybody dead?' Peo-
ple in the far east have the impression
that New Mexico is in a torrid eli
mate. I remember that l was sur
prised myself on my first visit to this
Territory. have learned something
during each succeeding visit and the
more learn the better I enjoy Santa
Fe and the New Mexican climate"
Mr.. McCance, who is engaged as
travelling auditor for thirteen different
large corporations, principally in the
railway line, has a wide acquaintance
in the east and is carefully following
the political situation. He says, how
ever. that he will not start a racket
until after Judge Parker has openoa
the campaign. When asked what he
thought of Judge Parker and William
Jennings Bryan appearing on the plat
form together at. Chicago, Mr.. Nc
Canoe said: eff that condition OF af-
fairs is ever brought about, you will
hear more about the Nebraskan than
Judge Parker"
