tier days when gun play was com.
mon affair. Speaking Of the new auto
matte Colts which has been put on the
market, Mr.. Chase says that it is the
only gun that has ever been made that
can take the place of the old AS.
There have been many new models put
out inthe past with the view of getting
the cowboy and "bad man" trade but
none have been success and the old
time AS has retained its popularity
without an effort When the first
double action guns were brought into

ness, but after few of them had been
shot in the leg with their own pistol
while endeavoring to pull it, the new
toy was discharged and the old stand
by reinstated. The new automatic '38,
however, he says will shoot straighter
than any other gun that has ever been
tried and with a soft nose bullet will
prove just as efficient as the As.
Edward F. Bohm Is registered at the
Claire, having come up from Lamy for
the express purpose of just spending a
day or two in Santa Fe. Mr.. Bohm is

ness. Every winter just before the
usual northern February bad weather
makes its appearance in the central
states, Mr.. Bohm starts out for the
southwest, and he always comes to
New Mexico for at least part of his |
time. In talking in the hotel Office |
with New Mexican representative
he said: Santa Fe has the best clim. |
ate of any place in the country.
There is something in the air here
which actually puts new life into a
person and makes him feel that, after
all, this world is not such bad place. |
don't know what it is that makes
Santa Fe's air so much better than any
other-it may be the proximity to the
pine-clad mountains combined with
the altitude-but I do know that this
is fact. l tell you that, for sight |
seeing and for climate, there is no
place in New Mexico like Santa Fe.
will always tell my friends who are
intending to make tour through the
west that, no matter how many miles
out Of their road, they may have to
come, they must not miss a visit to
this beautiful city. Why, l would go
a long, long way out of my road to
spend just two days here. l have Wis
tied all over the western and south
western part Of the United States and
through Mexico and there is absolute
ly no place which can even claim to
have rival to this climate"
Mr.. Bohm left Cleveland in Febru-
ary and came down through Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. He was greatly
impressed by the great development
along agricultural lines in those two
territories. He was in the City of
Mexico about three weeks ago and says
that it showed to depth of nearly
three inches while he was there, some
thing very unusual. He states that all
through the southwest and Mexico
there has been an unprecedented rain
and snowfall this winter and that con.
litions were never better for big crops
and for livestock. On the way from
Mexico he stopped in Ell Paso and in
the Mesilla Valley. It was much mild
er at Las Cruces than here but he
missed the exhilarating properties
which he says he is always sure to
lind in Santa Fe, and only in Santa Fe.
Mr.. Bohm will spend day or two
more in this vicinity, driving out to
some Of the Indian Pueblos and to 9th
sr points of interest after which he
will return to Lamy and take the San
"a Fe for trip through Kansas on his
way home. He expects to return next
year and in the meantime says that
ne intends to send all his friends to
Santa Fe, where they can see the real.
