Montebista, Colo., Contributed. In my last paper I told you of the settlement of the San Luis Valley. Now I'll tell you what makes it Buch a great country. First the altitude makes it a great health resort, many come here for pulmonary diseases. If Heaven is ibove the earth, which I believe it is, we are more than a mile nearer than vour folks are down there in Randolph. The "Valley" is 7650 altitude or more than a mile and a half above sea level. It never seems very cold here in the winter, nor does it get hot here w thMmer. ' We always sleep under blankets or some good bed covering in the summer. We are surrounded by mountain ranges. Tne range on the east is tbe Sangre-de-Christo which is said to be the exclamation the leader of the. first Spanish explorers made when thev climbed to the ton of the "Culebrar' range and beheld the east range bathed in the glories of a set ting sun, Sangre-de Christo! which in Spanish is "Blood of Christ made perfect." The peaks of this range are "Blanca" (white) and "Crestone" (top) which is 12,500 feet alt. Blan ca is 13,3000 fet and there are other minor peak-, any one of which the tops are above "timber line which is from 11,000 to 12,000 feet altitude. On the south is the "Sanantone" mountains. The highest peaks are tje Cumbers which are above "tim ber line. On tbe west is the Great Continental Divide, called this be cause the springs on the west of the range send their waters to tbe Pa cific ocean through tbe Gulf ot California and on the east side the waters go through 'the Rio Grande river to the Gulf of Mexico. The peaks of the Continental Di vide are "Baldy," "Pintada," and "Pyramid," each of which is over 12,000 feet altitude, "Baldy" being over 14,000 feet) high. All the peaks and a part of each range is covered with snow all the summer and this is another cause of the greatness of this valley and in nur next letter we will tell you how these surrounding mountain ranges contribute to the prosperity of our country. Candidates. It is reported that Hon. A. L. Brooks and Judge Strudwick, of Greeusboro, Senator R. D. Reid, of Reidsville, Senator B. S. Royster, of Oxford, Senator J. C. Buxton, of Forsyth, and Hon. V. S. Bryant, of Durham, and Hon. S. M. Gattis, of Hillsboro, are all aspirants for nom ination for Congress in the Fifth district, and that Major Unas. M . Stedman, of Greensboro, Hon. W. WKitchen, of Roxboro, Hon. F. A. Woodard, of Wilson, nnd Hon. John D. BelloBy, of Wilmington, are can didates for Governor in 1908. Defend t he Homes.
