It is probably 'the i most Interesting to me because it ! mark scene of activity within the , memory of men now living, ami being I of comparatively p-o r,t construction, j Its age is m ire eaily comprehended and appreciated by one who has made ! little itudy of the ar.tiqiiiti.-s. j The Fonda Is one-st.,ry adobe building, and occupies a block of land at the southea-t corner of the plaza. This structure served the same pur pose to tbe Santa Fe freighters that the terminal depot doe to tbe modern railroad. Here millions of dollars worth dt merchandise was unloaded for distribution aoj Mexicans, lir-M) tfce cEcial report of bis trip 1? Xrw 31-xif:. io tbe year above men-tl:-Lf-i. I q-jcie from this history: "Dr.z: :-?fi-k mule period, from 11T to IU4. wajDsfcad not ome into a, aid trad! r.g eip-editions over the f iaias were ma-Je by random adven-jrer-, their gis beicg transported on the backs of mules. One Captain Beckceil made atrading expedition to table j Santa Fe in 1511, and so great was his success that he organized a party of 30 men the follow ing year and again attempted the journey. Winter over took the party on the plains, and nearly all the members perished, only a few of the number reaching their destination. ' Prior to 1821, the Mexican govern ment did not openly sanction the over land trafllc, and in 1813 a party organ ized by Messrs. McKnight, Beard and Chambers, after reaching Santa Fe with a supply of goods, were arrested as smugglers and thrown into jail. After eight years of imprisonment, the men escaped, and finally found their way bac-t to St. Louis, reaching there late In the year 1822. "During the early history of the trail the caravans wore made up at Frank lin, Missouri, and numbered from 50 to 2u0 mules. The loud of a mule was about 200 pounds, the goods being lashed to a saddle and cove red with a cloth to protect them from bad weather. These caravans traveled from 12 to 15 miles without stopping. By 1624, the Santa Fe trade had grown to such importance that the Federal Government attempted to sur vey a wagon road to the boundary line of .New Mexico, but since no permis sion could be obtained from the war like Indians of the Arkansas valley, tne survey was completed only as far as the Arkansas Eiver As a result, the travelers continued to ioiiow me 01a trail, and they were forctd to rely upon their own firearms arid the scanty protection of a few companies of soldiers. 'Pe-giuning with the ox-wagon per iod i1S24-isii, the Mexican govern ment, encouraged by the prospect of ig tann revenues, had now assumed a nun inenaiy attitude. This encour aged the growth of soundly organized ompanies, operating as common car riers over the trail, and eo rapidly did msiuess increase mat. bv the vear tne starting point for the cars ans nad moved westward from Franklin to Indeiiendence, Missouri, town neur the present Kansas border Independence at once became the lu -ndquurters for the overland trade route, goods for the Santa Fe com merce Ixing purchased in St. Louis and transported up river to the start ing point. Thousands of wagons, eucli being drawn by 12 mules, or six yokes of oxen, were now leaving Inde pendence each year. The wages of teamsters ranged from $25 to $50 a month, including rations. These men received no guaranty of safety other than that furnished by their own lighting strength the re VHt nr. mployer's liability law in the old lays of the Santa Ee trail The wagons started from Iude- pendenoe during the month of May nd arrived at their destination in August. The Mexican government barged loo per cent tariff on all goods brought over the trail. The tradei usually remained ia Santa Fe about four weeks, starting back early In September, with wagons lightly loaded with silver bullion, gold dust, Mexican blunkets ami wool. The freight rate between Independence and Santa Fe was 10 cents a pound, and esch wagon earned about J550 on the round trip. The city of Santa Fe was described by a New York journalist in lan as a small town of two thou-ar.d inhabi tants, sheltertd In a collection of mud hovel. Although insignificant In size, the town trie to assume all the pretensions of a large city. It has a public s-iuare, a governor' palace, nd a promenade yet the public and on cannel , Zen 2nd on hctn- quare is un fenced, the promenade Is mong the Indians j tbe top of a sandhill, and the palace it nere uie wagon , simply Hi largest mu.l houw in it,. trains were made up for the long r- town.

The old palace in Santa Fe faces the plaza along its entire north side. It is a one-story, adobe building, with walls six feet in thickness. It was built two years before the settlement of JamestowD, and antedates tbe landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock by fifteen years. It is not an old, deserted landmark, but has been occupied continuously by Spanish Pueblo, Mexican and American gov ernors in turn, and has been tbe living cenlerof everything of historic interest in the Southwest. Its tenants have been known as caciques, viceroys, captain generals, commanders and governors. Here On ate set up the banner of Spain in 1598; in one of its dungeons, the Commissary General of the Inqui sition was imprisoned; within its walls, fortified for a siege, the Span iards were massed in the revolution of 1680; here the Pueblo chieftains, crazed with victory In their uprising, destroyed the Spanish archives and historical records by fire; here De Vargas baited in triumph after re capturing the city from the Pueblos Id 1C92 ; io the plaza facing this build ing, 47 Pueblo prisoners were shot to death; here, io 1822, the Mexican standard, with its eagle and cactus, was raised in token that New Mexico was no longer a dependency of Spain ; here in response to a fancied insult Governor Martinez killed the head chief of the Utea at a single blow; here, on August 12, 1840, tbe envoy from the American army was received by Governor Armijo and sent back with a message of defiance, and here five days later General Kearny took formal possession of the city by hoist ing the Stars and Stripes. If tbe walls of this old building could but speak, what a wonderful tale they could tell 1 What a story of personal and governmental triumphs; of social events rivalling in bril liancy those of Old World courts; of Intrigue and plotting; of blasted hopes and ambitions; of torture, and bloodshed, and martyrdom 1 Is it any wonder that, in bis living room in this old palace, General Wallace received the inspiration to write a story that would electrify the world -his immor tal "Ben Hur; a tale of the Christ!" The palace is now occupied as a res idence by Governor George Curry, by the Postoflice, the Historical Museum, and the Daughters of tbe American Revolution. South of the plaza Is the home of Montezuma Lodge, No. 1, A. F. & A. M., the second oldest Masonic body west of the Missouri, tho oldest lodge in all tbat vast territory being located in our own state of Oregon. On the membership roll of Montezuma Lodge are found the names of many of America's famous warriors and fron tiersmen, prominent among them being that of Christopher Carson, the "Kit" of blessed memory. The com mission of this noted warrior and scout as Second Lieutenant of Mount ed Riflemen, signed by President Polk and dated June 9. 1847. ocennio prominent place on the walls of the Historical Museum. His monument in front of the Federal Building Is amonu the most imposing and attractiveof the many beautiful memorials in the city. points and regions climate is bracing and bealtbgiving, its hotels will furnish you excellent accommodation at a reasonable price, and vou will find its people kind and hospitable to the visiting stranger. No matter how widely you may have traveled ; no matter bow many other places of historical interest you may have visited, you will never be able to say with truth that you have seen you country until after you have visited Santa Fe the Ancient City of the Holy Faith.
