AND TAOS PUEBLO
Assistant General Passenger Agent

Personal information.

Frank A. Wadleigh, assistant gener.
al passenger agent of the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad with headquart,
ers in Denver, Colorado, arrived in
Santa Fe yesterday, accompanied by
Mrs, Wadleigh, and after visiting
friends here today, will tomorrow
morning leave in his private car, for
EspanOla, from where he will drive
overland to the cliff dwellings in
Pajarito Park After spending one
day in viewing the ancient ruins Mr
and Mrs. Wadleigh will 20 to Taos
and Servilleta, and other points in
Taos County. 1ney will then return
to Santa Fe and from this city will
go to Denver.
When seen by a New Mexican re-
porter at the Palace hotel, where he
is stopping, Mr.. Wadleigh talked in
terestingly of New Mexico, his pro-
posed trip and of Improvements he
thought We're needed in Santa Fe;
81 have not visited Santa Fe for
twelve years he said this morning,
"and of course ! find many changes.
| am particularly pleased with the
number of new buildings, business
houses. and residences that have been
erected since | was last here. The
people of the Capital City are to be
complimented on the appearance Of
the fine new high school building,
which would be a credit to even a
much larger city than Santa Fe.
81 have heard so much of the cliff
dwellings of late that Mrs. Wadleigh
and myself resolved to visit them and
that is why | am here. | also want to
be able to give information concern
ing them 10 tourists when asked to do

his information from book. ! re-
gret that we are not going to be able
to spend much time at the cliff dwell
ings, only a day, | fear. | know from
what | have heard that a week would
be only too short, to properly view
Paiarito Park. However my time is
limited and as | want to cover con-
siderable territory adjacent to the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, can
not spend too long in one place. | ex-
pect to get started for Espanola to-
night or tomorrow morning early, by
having my car attached to sheep
train However, may not get out
ahead of the regular train.
''fou know Santa Fe should, and
think will, be in the future, the
starting place for tourists desiring to
visit the cliff dwellings. However,
in order to aid them in getting to
Pajarito Park, the county commission
ers of this county should see to it
that roads are kept in good condi.
ton and that good trails are con-
structed
"An overland trip to the cliff dwell
ings, would, in my estimation, be very
enjoyable at almost any season of the
year.
Another interesting trip is to
Taos where the Indians have an old
and extensive pueblo | want to see
that place. Tourists are always ask
ing for information about New Mexi-
co points and we railroad men should
be in position to tell them.
"The Denver & Rio Grande Rail
road, would like to bring in as many
tourists as possible to Santa Fe and
there is no doubt in the world that
in the future, the number visiting the
ancient city will be much larger.
From Santa Fe they are going out
in all directions to visit points OF
interest, especially those that are the
most accessible | understand tina,
when the bridge over the Rio Grande
at Buckman is completed, the trip to
Pajarite Park will be much easier
and more enjoyable one.
II am spending today visiting my
friends in Santa Fe, many of whom
have not seen for years. 1t is a grea'
pleasure to spend while, however
short, in the invigorating climate o
this little mesa and I am coming Of
