The places of principal interest In
Santa Fe are: The ancient plaza the
Governors palace, without doubt the
oldest governmental building in the
United States; the Fonda, which
marks tn q end of the historic Santa Fe
trail; San Miguel church, built in
l541 A.; the "Old House," on De Vargas
street; Rosario chapel, built IN 1852;
the ruins Of Fort Marcy, the massive
walls OF which are still in fair state
of preservation St. Michael's college,
the oldest institution Of higher learn
ing west OF the Missouri; the Histori
cal Museum, containing the finest col
lection OF antiquities 10 the Southwest
and the largest library Of archaeolog-
ical and chronological works to be
found outside of Washington City.
Other attractions are the Lamy foun-
tain, the Cathedral, Territorial Capt.
tol Building, Federal Building,
Kearny monument, Loretto chapel,
and the National cemetery. Within a
few miles Of the city are the Cliff
Dwellings, where 10000 caves aban-
doned by a prehistoric people are to be
found; Monument Rock. which marks
the site Of the abandoned Montezuma
gold mine; Arroyo Hondo, on the
banks Of which are mounds contain
ing the most beautiful specimens Of
ancient pottery the Turquoise mines,
where the Tiffanys OF New York have
secured most Of the turquoise they
have sold 10 recent years the Petri6ed
Trees, near Cerrillos, and the numer-
Gus Indian pueblos, whose strange
people preserve to this day traditions
antedating Columbus and celebrate
their feast days with dances Of heather
origin and mystic significance.
These are but few Of the wonderful
sights and attractions Of Santa Pc and
vicinity, but space forbids farther
mention, and 1 shall only attempt 70
desbribe a few places Of principal his
toric interest.

ing the Indians before them by
superior force OF arms. In the last
decade of the sixteenth century, Don
Juan de Onate, one of the most daring
of these adventurers, crossed the Rio
Grande and established the first
Spanish settlement on the present site
OF the city of Ell Paso. Desiring a
more favored locality for his colony,
where it's people would be protected
from the winds of the plains and the
SHOWS of winter, it was but
natural that Onate should continue
his explorations farther up the valley
of the Rio Grande, and in 1898 he left
the first settlement of San Gabriel and
established his permanent capitol at
Santa Fe.
Here the Spaniards continued in
power until the year 1856, when the
Pueblo Indians revolted, and, under
the leadership of Pope, laid siege
to the city. After nine days of war
fare, the Spaniards were forced to
evacuate and retreat to Ell Paso. Wild
with victory, the Indians gathered the
archives and historical records of the
province and burned them on the
plaza in front of the Palace.
Thirteen years later, the Spaniards,
under the leadership of De Vargas,
re-entered Santa Fe, and on the day
after Christmas drove the Indians
from the town and le-occupied its
houses. Spanish and Mexican rule
then continued until ls46, when
General Kearney entered the city and
planted the Stars and Stripes. This.
in brief, is the history of the ancient
capitol-a history so filled with deeds
of brilliancy and daring as to read
like romance.

The present city Of Santa Fe is a
revelation to the traveller visiting 1t
for the first time. Nowhere else in
our county are past and present so
strikingly presented to the eye. The
people of the city are proud Of the
ancient landmarks, and are preserv-
ing them with jealous care. The
business district has its center around
the ancient plaza, now a beautiful
park, filled with sparkling fountains
and handsome monuments. There
are practically only four blocks of
modern business houses, the remainder
of the shops and stores occupying
single-story, adobe buildings. But
the conclusion must not be drawn from
this description that the business OF
Santa Fe is not up to the standard Of
the ordinary town OF 5000 people, for
within these old mud houses, with
their low ceilings, narrow doors, and
grass-grown roofs are displayed stocks
Of the necessities and luxuries of life
that are not surpassed In the best
department stores in the country. The
New Mexican printing plant, one Of
the largest producers of printed matter
and blank books in the Southwest, is
housed in an Adobe building,
In the residence district, flowers are
grown In riotous profusion, and the
streets are shaded by magnificent
trees, whose spreading branches make
the highways veritable arches of
green. The lawns are well-kept and
refreshing to the eye, and the homes
of the people show every evidence oil
thrift and care. The town Is one vast
orchard of apple and pear trees, and
within the walls of convent and mon
astery gardens, the September sun Is
purpling the grapes on vines century
old.

TO FEAST ON PEACHES
HERE IN SIX WEEKS
Americas Will Thus LuSu-
rate Soon.

Americas will be eating luscious,
ripe peaches in a little while now, and
from her abundance of this delicious
fruit will ship probably two hundred
carloads to sections less fortunate.
Mr. r. S. BrOadhurst brought in from
his orchard Of $4,000 trees, yester-
day, several limbs broken from trees
and covered with fruit as large as
guinea eggs-in fact, about one
fifth grown. Already there is a
tinge of red upon the cheeks of the
peaches which will spread into a
crimson blush ere they ripen during
the first June week. The fruit is
perfect in formation and the only
difficulty presented is the abnormal
quantity, the trees being loaded be-
yond their capacity All of the large
orchards here are in prime condition
and the peach crop this year will
be simply immense-the largest by
far ever grown in the Americas
fruit district.

MONEY IN LITTLE FARM

Americas Man Making Sue

Irving Brady came up yesterday
from Sanford, Fla, to spend a few
days with relatives in Americas, his
bOyhoOd home and which he loves
best-neXt to Sanford Mr.. Brady
was raised up here on a thousand
acre cotton plantation, but he now
lives on a thirteen acre "truck patch"
which yields more money. His prin-
cipal crops are early, lettuce and
tomatoes, and from these he is realiz-
ing rich results On six acres of
celery he has already sold six thou
sand crates, supplying the Americas
market to a large extent, among
others. 1t costs about $3.50 per acre
to market his celery crop, Mr.. Brady
says, but as it nets him $1.75 to $3.50
per crate, with 1000 crates per acre
the average yield, the amount of
profit is evident. Then he gets four
crops a year from the same land,
rotated in celery, lettuce, tomatoes and
hay. His tomato crop is now being
marketed and will pay handsomely
as did the others

TO BUILD UP

Natl. Y. P. Alexander to
Stay in Ga. Some Time.

1t was with some difficulty that
Mr.. Lee Allen was induced to ac-
cept the position of State President
of the Patriotic Order Sons of Amer
ica
Mr.. Allen felt that his duties as
alderman, and as president of the
Board of Trade, together with his pri-
yate business affairs, rendered it
practically impossible for him to take
on new burdens. National Vice
President Alexander is to remain in
Georgia considerable of the next
few months working in the interest
of the order. He will organize new
Camps, make the purposes of the or
der known where at present the or
ganization has no camp, and will seek
to revive interest in camps that may
have fallen by the Wayside. There
are now tWenty-four camps in Geor-
gia with a membership of probably
over 1000, and by an active cam
paign for the next few months it is
hoped to add considerably 70 the num-
Der Of camps and to the total men,
bership.
President Allen will go as delegate
from the State Camp to the meeting
of the National Camp at Chattanooga
this fall This will be a notable gath
ering, as the order includes many
prominent men in it's membership in
the North and West. In Pennsylvan-
ia alone it has over 10000 members.
The barbecue dinner served by the
Camp to the visiting members on
Wednesday night at the City Hall was
a delightfully."- enjoyable affair. Prob
ably two hundred members and
guests were in attendance and the
feast was thoroughly appreciated
Timely remarked were made by Mr.

SAME SAD STORY
IN COTTON MARKET
No Cotton Locally at Con-
CGSSiOnS.

1t was the same old story in the
! cotton market yesterday. Net losses
for the day were II to % points. The
opening was at losses of 5 to IL
points, but in the nearby positions al
advance of several points was soon
made Prices moved in narrow limits
during the morning but in the after
noon the market worked lower. Liv-
erpool broke sharply before the close
and this had its effect on this side
The generally favorable weather con-
ditions for the new crop and the
sIackness in demand for the finish
ed product operated in conjunction to
beat down values.
New York opened to Is points
down, and after some advance, eased
off, the close being at net losses of
Is to 10 points for the day. Spots
were marked up points New Or
leans opened to 8 points down. A
small advance was soon more than
neutralized and the close was II to
% points below the final for Wednes-
day, May leading. Spots were re-
duced Lice.
Liverpool opened 5 to 8 points low
er, which was about as due. The mar
ket showed no strength and the close
was steady, II to IL points below
the last for the day before. The Eng
lish market is due 1-2 points lower
this morning. Spots were reduced 10
points, the sales being 1000 bales
No trading was being done in the
local market, though there was some
inquiry on basis around 1-2 cents
for good middling. But no cotton
changed hands
