main trunk line of the proposed sewer
system.
This block No. 1. connects with Zen
it'll park on the east and with Scenic
park on the west, thus forming a con-
tinuous park feature of over a mile
in extent.
Scenic Point.
Scenic Point affording the most
superb view at Clodcroft, has ever been
planned to be brought into requisitio1
as one of the most valuable resort re-
sources of the place.
Its utilization contemplates a grand
driveway and prominade or walk ira
versing the center of Scenic park to chs
point-a distance of about half a mile
from the hotel-and at the point
shelter and rest pavilion This prom
enade, lined with ei4c-ric lights, would
be thronged day and night and would
be the feature of Cloudcroft and ex-
ceedingly popular.
To add to its attractions, the south
side of the park should be stocked with
deer. elk. antelope and other wild ami
mails, while the nora or Dorthwes:
portion should be made an INDIAN
reservation" or the home of any visit
ing indians. This, enclosed with
suitable wire fence excanJlEs along
the driveway and thoroughly separat-
ing the indians from the whites, would
afford sufficient contact without OBJ
jectionable features aud prove 4 s. eat
and inexpensive attraction.
Lake LingerIOnc.
Cloudcrofts great lacking Is a sheet
of water or lake, provision for supply
ing this need was made at the outset
and the remarkably feasible location
for an artificial lake at the mouth of
Cox canyon, was acquired. This would
form a lake a mile or more in length,
having q large supply of water-there-
by assuring a fishing resource. would
be about II miles distant, AMI reached
by an excellent route through delight
full surroundings.
An enjoyable automobile trip of so
minutes; boating and fishing, with the
hospitality of a little fish hotel would
constitute a valuable resort resource.
Indian Agency and White Mountain.
One Of the most attractive routes
for drive, on this continent, is that
from CloudcrOft TO the Mescalero in
dian agency, distance of about IS
miles. The government has repeatedly
offered to perfect the portion of the
road on the indian reservation, and
with an expenditure of a few hundred
dollars the remaining portion TO
Cloudcfoft can be made.
AT the agency arrangements can be
made for camp hotel accommodation,
and combined with it the feature of
indian guides and trail service to the
summit of White mountain.
A Chautauqua..
One of the largest "Chautauquas"
could be developed at Cloudcroft. At
one time the leaders in Texas of the
Boulder, Colo, Chautauqua agreed to
divert their interest to Cloudcroft.
Necessary buildings would have to be
provided. A perfect location was Sc
lected at the extreme head of Chautau-
/ qua canyon.
\ movement is now we'll under way
to start an embryo affair and it should
| be encouraged, with a view to future
development.
Leased Lands Within the Reserve.
School section No. 36-the most de-
.sirable mile square for resort pur-
poses in the Sacramento mountains
| lies in the north half of the reserve,
with southwest corner within a quar-
! ter of a mile Of block No. l. 1t was i'm
possible to secure title to this land
| and accordingly has been leased by the
| company from the territory since Cloud
/ croft started. .
This tract of land is vital to Cloud
croft and it must, in some manner, be
| acquired to constitute part of a
whole. homogeneous arrangement.
| Numerous plans relative to this have
| been suggested and one of which, that
would be most desirable if feasible
would be its grant to a summer uni
versity" for the southwest. The idea
being for parents of the scholars to
constitute a cottage population there
| on, and the purchase or rental of their
| cottage sites to contribute to the cost
of creation and support Of the univers-
| ity.
Careful attention and study should
be given TO the matter of this tract Of
| land.
The land Immediately to the north of
this school section, because of the to-
| biography of the country, is necessarily
| the location of part of the Grand
! Circle Driveway. In order to hold
| it, pending some permanent arrange
ment the land has been leased from
the territory. Some means for likewise
| Incorporating this land within the re-
serve should receive consideration and
| careful attention.
An Infant SanitarIum.

strated its wonderful curative effects

children restored to health and vigor
who unquestionably owe their lives to
