Opinion of J. T. Dye,
Prominent Attorney.

Among the sojourners in the city at
present are Mr. and Mrs. John T. Dye,
of Indianapolis, Indiana, the parents
of Mrs. w. e. Garrison, whose husband
is the newly appointed principal OF the
local high school, and who was for
merly president of Butler College at
Indianapolis Mr.. Dye Is one OF the
prominent citizens of the Hoosler
State, and was for many years general
attorney of the big -Four" Railroad
System. He and his wife have been
in the city for some time and have
fallen in love with the magnificent
climate and picturesque surroundings
Mr.. Dye expects to be going back
and forth all summer, having business
affairs to attend to in the east, but
his wife will probably remain until
the heated term is over. Mrs, Dye has
been greatly benefited in health al
ready during her sojourn and is as
enthusiastic as her husband in praise
Of the exceptional climatic conditions.
The Dyes shave a country home a
short distance from Indianapolis.
A New Mexican reporter had a
pleasant chat with Mr. Dye, who was
found enjoying the GOODNESS OF the
morning on the veranda Of the Pal
ace Hotel. When asked about his i'm
pressions of New Mexico and particu-
larly the climate with which Santa Fe
is blessed he said:
Best Spot for Health on Continent.
II cannot imagine a more perfect
summer climate than that of Santa
Fe. There is no eXaggerating it. 1t
Is the best on the continent The
pure, dry air, perpetual sunshine and
the grandeur of the mountain scenery
make it a most enchanting place. Its
merits are not sufficiently we'll known
in the middlo west People there un-
derstapd that it is a historic town that
retains q good deal OF the Old Spanish
life but they do not generally know
that it has the most delightful sum-
mer climate and is one of the best
health resorts anywhere. Nesting as
it does at the foot Of the mountains
protected from the winds, north, east
and west, 1t ought TO have, and | un-

best place in the country for the cure

Talks Of Trip Over Scenic Route.
Through the hospitality OF Mrs

here to Las Vegas. The view from
the summit of the road above Monu

and | find that there are many other
attractive drives about the city. The

Il think that Santa Fe win newt

resort and as place for delightful
summer homes, ii its advantages are
properly advertised. The foothills
contain many ideal locations for sum
