Taos, it is the Valley ranch that is
attracting writer's, painters, scientists

COS, is being recognized AS a summer
land superior to any other mountain
region of North America, as far as
climate, scenic and historic attrac-
lions are concerned. All records OF
tourist travel into Santa Fe We're
broken the past ten days, when
through the Old Palace alone passed
more than 1900 different visitors
from outside points. In fact, there
was one day, when the visitors ex-

reached 300 If only one-third of
that ratio is maintained for the
year it means more than 10000 tour
list visitors, and that is doing mighty
well for town of less than $500
people

ON WITH THE DANCE.
The dance given by the Fraternal

THE RETAILERS WERE PLEASED
Even though the delegates to the
state convention of the Retailers as,
ISOLATION. came only in tens and
scores. when they were expected by
the hundreds, that did not detract
from the perfectly good time that
hosts as well as guests had the Ilrst

delegates brought their families, so

A barbecue has become novelty and
rariety in this neck Of the WOODS
and was therefore enjoyed the more.
The meat was done to brown turn,
rich and juicy. while the coffee that
went with it, as well as the biscuits,
were a delight to the epicures in the
party.
The same evening Santa Fe's chiv-
