FOUR PERSlSHURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT Occupants of an automobile were injured Saturday when a speeding touring car skidden into a sedan which was coming toward Richmond, pushing it over an embankment, near Elkhorn Falls.

Mr. Menmuir was driving the car and according "to a witness, was using every care. The road was covored with fresh Travel and Mr. Menmiur pulled out to the side of the road to give room to

a large car which was coming, it is said, at a forty mile an hour speed. Offers No Assistance. The large car did not slacken speed, nor give way for the sedan.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Aug. 26 "Sheep is dear and deer is cheap, but a tenderfoot is valuable beyond all calculation." Some southwesterner made the above epigram a long time ago, and the last part of it, at least, has been steadily gaining significance with the years. Sheep are not dear this year. On the contrary, the bottom is out of the wool market and wool is about the only thing that brings much money into New Mexico. The cattle business is also up against hard times. Good crops are ripening, but there is

little market for them. Tenderfeet, on the other hand, are , at a premium. Every dollar in the i tenderfoot's pocket looks twice as large to the native as it did a year ago. And the tenderfoot always has dollars in his pocket, and there are many ways of helping him spend them. He must be fed and housed, of course, but in addition to that he must be supplied with a large assortment of souvenirs and curiosities, and above all, he must be shown the great Southwest. Taking care of the tenderfoot is really becoming a leading industry in the northern half of New Mexico. New Mexico is just beginning to be discovered by the traveling public, and each year brings tourists in larger numbers than the year before. If high fares kept down the travel by rail a little this year, the stream of jitney-pilgrims which flows over- the transcontinental roads w-as great enough to make up the deficiency. Albuquerque caters to the health seeker rather than the pleasure seeker. It has half a dozen sanitariums on the high mesa to the east of

it, it has some of the best tuberculosis specialists in the country, and it has a long list of complete recoveries from tuberculosis to its credit. But it is also prepared to take care of the man who wants to see the country. There is at least one organization which makes a business of taking the tourist anywhere he wants to go and telling him all about it, and there are several

shops where he can get the load of

Indian blankets, pottery and baskets

which every traveler to this part of

the country brings home with him. The Indian Country

New Mexico is a country admirably

adapted to the entertainment of the man from the East. It is a land of level plateaus broken by mountain ranges. Scattered over this wilderness are the villages of the Pueblo Indians the only Indians in America who still live much as they did in pre-Columbian days. These Indians

have every summer a number of dances and fiestas which provide spectacles of barbaric beauty. In addition to these living Indians, there are the dead cities of the cliff dwellers, wonderfully preserved. The roads across the messa ars smooth and good. The mountains supply scenery that will bring an ejaculation from the most hardened sightseer. There are hundreds of mountain streams alive with trout, and good hunting in the fall. In addition To

this, the southwest has a certain fascinaion that is indefinable. Whether it is the ever-varying beauty of the country, or the peculiar stimulating quality of its air, or its restful, goodnatured, unbusiness like atmosphere, or a combination of all these things, the southwest has the power of attaching people to it. The man who has been there once nearly always resolves that he will go back some time. There are thousands now who come back every summer. The New Mexicans have been quick to realize that their country has a

great future as a national playground, and that that future depends upon keeping their country the odd and beautiful place that it is. They are preserving their antiquities, they aro co-opeiating with the government for

the protection of their forests and fish and game; they are building roads and trails, they are even making over their towns and the houses they live in. You must go to Sante Fe to see this last process at its best. A large number of arists and a few writers and archaeologists have settled in Sante Fe, and these have been joined by the more forward- looking natives in an effort to make Sante Fe, which is the second oldest city in the United States also one of the most picturesque. A new hotel, a new postoffice, and a Dew theatre are now being built about its ancient plaza, and all of these are being done in the Pueblo Indian style of architecture, and decorated by artists of high abilityIn addition to these public buildings, many private residences are being built in the same curious style. Tho result is that Santa Fe is acquiring an appearance extremely exotic and foreign. America is said to be more uniform

in appearance than any other countdy

in the world. An American town of

a given size is just the same from

coast to coast. "Main Street is as

standard an article as a given brand of

soap or chewing gum. Well, in Sante Fe, Main street is an ancient square

with a lawn and thick shade trees. Half of the buildings about it are old adobes with projecting roof beams. Many of its shop windows show gaudy Navajo blankets, pottery and all the other colorful wares of the Pueblos. Along its sidewalks, blanketed Indians, big-hatted cowboys, and Mexicans make up half the crowd. "Main Street" is here a place individual, not to say bizarre. The Easterner Adorned, Among this crowd is always a certain number of individuals whose dress is picturesque almost beyond the dreams of a movie fan. They wear big brown hats, creased in the center, woolen shirts, often of a bright color, with a silk bandana of another

color around tho neck. Their khaki trousers are thrust into riding boots. Often they adorn the whole wih a great pair of silver spurs or a rattlesnake hat band. These striking features include women as well as men, and the women are dressed about the same as the men, always in trousers, nd usually with the addition of some fetching Indian jewelry in silver and turquoise. Who are these people, you ask? They are sunburned, grinning, happy. They seem to have nothing to do. They seem to know all about the country, and be familiar with all its bi-lingual slang. You think they are the most picturesque natives you have yet seen. But they are not. They are

tenderfeet. Whenever you see a man dressed like Billy the Kid of Buffalo Bill, you may safely bet that he is from New , York or Chicago. Yon cute thing who looks like a Chip of Flyin? U is a freshman in Wellesley, and was never before west of the Mis

sissippi. These are the "dudes." They need a certain amount of care and direction,., and those who make a business

of supplying it are known as dude-

wranglers. In Sante Fe or Albuquerque, the tenderfoot can find some one who will take him anywhere he wants to go. any way he wants to go there. An old-lady in feeble health will bo shown

all that can be seen from the seat of a touring car. For those who want

to rough it a pack outfit will be or

ganized in snort order, and trips will

be taken into some of the wildest parts of the Rocky mountains. You can get exacly what you want, and you do not

have to pay three prices for it either. When it comes to taking the money. New Mexico has much to learn from such old tourist countries as

Florida and New England. But tho New Mexicans know their country.

and they will show you just as much

of it as you are physically able to

travel, hey will lead you to peaks far above the timberline, and into gorges a thousand feet deep. They

will show you Indian dances as strange

as anything in Africa, and they will make your hair stand on end at the

spectacle of men shedding their own blood in a religious orgy. They will lead you to the best trout fishing, and they wil find you a bear or a mountain lion to shoo at, if that is what you crave. New Mexico has not yet achieved

any of the conventional summer resort atmosphere. Golf .lings are scarce. The broad hotel veranda with its rocking chair flirtations, the dancing pavilion, the band concert, are yet to come. But if you want to see a land

that is diferent, tho dude-wranglers

will show it to you.
