When Burr Mcintosh came to AL

took a photograph OF the grounds Of
the American Lumber company and
another of the Alvarado hotel and
Santa Fe station hat were u%ndoubted-
ly the most perfect panoramic views
ever taken in this part Of the world,
That was two years ago, and photog-
raphy has not been standing still.
Yesterday a photograph was taken
in front 90 the Elks building. which
Is in every way more remarkable than
the Mcintosh photographs. II is a
picture of the knights of Columbus.
taken bv Mr.. 4. Newman. of the
Great Western View comnany: a pic
ture of two hundred and fifty men.
with every face in the picture as clear
cut and well defined and as perfect
as if especially posed for a cabinet
photograph. A picture five feet long
and a loot wide. in its completed form
and without doubt the most perfect
specimen of modern photography ever
seen here.
Mr.. Newman's reputation as an ar
tist n scientific photographer has
preceded him here, and all doubt of
A. disappears in the face Of this pho
tograph. The speed with which the
work was done Is another interesting
feature. The exposure WIS made at 2
o'clock. with the two hundred and
fifty Knights lined I'm al across the
front of the Flks building. At G
O'Clock the finished n~hotoeraph was
on exhibition. There had been no re-
t%ouching, for with the kind Of work
done nv Mr.. Newman's re%touehino is
superflnous. This picture shows
every detail. Vt Is as perfect rs " on

of avery man Mr. Nauvpaan 30
known as the foremost scenic photog-
rapher IN America, which means In
the world. since photography has
reached its HIGHEST development in
this country. He Is not only an artist.
but an inventor. and controls exclus-
lively the improvements on the won

known In scenic camera building.
With this camera - is possible to
make a group picture, no matter how

All conventions now being held in
Albuquerque will be photographed by
Mr.. Newman. and he states that he
has also occurred a number of what he
excellent views Of Albuquer-
que. which will be on exhibition at the
booth. or which may be seen at his
work rooms owe the Zelger cafe.
The great mou OF Advertising
which will result from Mr.. Newmann's
work during the fair can not fail to
be of greatest benefit to Albuquerque.
The pictures will go all over the coun-
try. and viii give his city the very
best kind OF publicity. The city OF
Albuquerque could hardly hit on a
more effective method Of advertising
than to secure a large number of the
of the city and place them
throughout the east. This method has
already been taken up by Trinidad
with such excellent results that sew
eral hundred of the big pictures OF
that city have been ordered and are
now being distributed. IL is a matter

n the Commercial club. and on which
action will probably be taken while
he Great Western View company Is
maintaining its headquarters here.
