Santa Fe Trail Hotel Proposed for Las Vegas
A Las Vegas Optic letter urges creating a three story native brownstone hotel to be named the Santa Fe Trail Hotel Company. The plan features a 220 foot dining room mural of the trail, walls decorated with historic scenes, 60 rooms with state and territory names, and a proposed cost of 50000 dollars. The author argues the project would attract thousands of visitors and preserve trail history. A separate Bengal census note reports 4000 baby girls married in the province, with many under one year old widows.
