WILL FEATURE ANCIENT CITY
Colonel r. E. Twitchell of Las
Vegas Succeeds in Securing
Appropriation.

In late months, the New Mexican
has called frequent attention to Incl
dents and occurrences which demon
strated the kindly spirit with which
the management of the great Santa
Fe system regards this Ancient City
and which with its manifold historic,
prehistoric, climate and scenic attrac-
tons it is trying to bring to the
attention of the travelling public. San
ia Fe appreciates this, especially since
it felt neglected for many years and
had an idea that among the many
hands turned against it were those Of
the officials of the great system to
which it gave its name.
To cap the endeavor to advertise
the city and its surroundings, and in
recognition of Santa Fe's claims to
being the most interesting summer
and winter tourist resort in the Unit
ed States, the Santa Fe Railway Com
pany, upon the recommendation of
Colonel R. E. Twitchell of Las Vegas,
| has begun the preparation of pamph-
let devoted exclusively to the tourist
and other attractions of the city Of
Santa Fe and vicinity a preference
/ that is accorded to few even of the
largest towns along the Santa Fe
| lines.
Old and New Santa Fe.
The pamphlet is to be an artistic
one and the first edition of 10000
copies may cost anywhere up to $10-
600 for it will be profusely illustrat-
ed with half tones not only in black
and white, but also in tint and possi-
bly, also in colors. OLD as we'll as New
Santa Fe, will be treated, for the
| sightseer is mostly interested in the
! historic town while the homeseeker
and capitalist is interested in the new
growth, in the irrigation and water
power enterprises now under. way in
this vicinity, in the opportunities for
establishing homes and investing cap
ital.
The Puebos.
The Pueblos are an unfailing source
of attraction and from no point can
be reached more conveniently than
from Santa Fe. But not only the Pu-
eblos now occupied, but the prehis-
toric pueblos, such as those at Aqua
Fria, on the Arroyo Hondo, and at
other points, will be brought to the
front and it will astonish many OF
Santa Fe's own people to learn what
a wealth of ruins is found as near as
six miles to the city.
| School of American Archaeology.
The establishment of the School O.
American Archaeology has turned the
attention of the world to Santa f'e il
far greater degree than people locally
are as yet aware OF. The mural dec
orations in the Puye room will MAKE
the school world-famous in them
selves and the Rito de los Frijole
room and the great historic reception
will give Santa Fe a treasure wort
more than gold mines and smelters a
far as attracting visitors is concerned
\ incidentally, the school will ais
bring much more prominently to tn
worlds attention the wonderful clit
dwelling region at the very door @
the city-weird, mysterious, magnif
cent, puzzling and inexplicable, SUI
rounded by some of the most magn
+ ficent scenery on the continent.
