. The Central Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico. Agriculture. The central RIO GRANDE VALLEY 47 around the suburbs of Albuquerque, many of them of three or more rooms, fitted with electric lights and water and as comfortable in every way as the average small cottage. The accommodations for healthseekers are being constantly enlarged and improved and while no especial effort is made to induce the sick to come to this region, the unequaled climate is the magnet which draws each year a constantly increasing number of those who need its beneficial influence. A considerable portion of the happy, prosperous population of this valley is made up of former invalids, men and women who have come in time. The Central Rio Grande valley and its adjacent territory offers special attractions to the tourist. Not only are its ancient adobe settlements of interest, but the Indian pueblos dotted along the Rio Grande from Santo Domingo to the typical Isleta village are THE INDIAN VILLAGES well worthy of a visit and careful study. The Jemez pueblo in Sandoval county, with its ancient church and mission, the Laguna village in Valencia county, with its nearby pueblo of Acoma and the Enchanted Mesa, are points to which tourists are flocking every year in steadily increasing numbers. The larger portion of the proposed Pajarito national park, with its wonderful cliff dwellings, lies in Northern Sandoval county. The village Indians are a peaceful, unobtrusive people, busying themselves with their farms and orchards, flocks and herds and with the pottery making from which they derive a considerable portion of their mea- ner Jemez Canyon, Jemez Hot Springs in Distance.
