Beautiful Resort.
Beautiful alfalfa fields, bordered
along the fences and bitches with shady
cottonwOods. make the region in the Vi
cintty Of TularOsa most attractive to
the visitor The cultivated section looks
very much like shat OF the lower Mestlla
valley, though the SOIL Is not 80 sandy.
In summer time the beauty of the YER
dure is enough to make Tularosa at
Jractive as a resort The summer tenn
perature here is always much lower
than that Of southern New Mexico and
FL Paso, because Of its altitude and its
proximity to the pine covered, snowclad
peaks OF the mountains. The beauti- l
ful flowers In the half-century-o gar |
dens, the cool QuietnesS Of its shaded |
streets, the quaintness Of its old homes, |
al contribute to make the place attract
