The military strength of the town was
composed of two Companies of Militia
locally known as the East side and West
side Militia, Company of Artillery, or
ganzed in 1903, and a Company of Cavalry
organized in 1904. They We're all attached

brace no such officer as Colonel.
The east side militia was commanded
by Capt. Robert Kelsey; the west side,

The Next STATE,

New Mexico applies at the family
door for admission into the Union as j
State. Comparatively little seems TO
be known of this Territory, its resour-
ces and people by the average reader.
The geographical position, distance
from the settled portions OF the other
States, and incoEvenient and uncom-
Portable modes of travel render it almost
inaccessible to the modern traveller, and
its world is nearly a sealed book 10 the
people beyond it's limits. She has AN
area of about four hundred thousand
square miles, and claims population
of 1l2,G00. She maintains, also that
her ability for self support is well estab-
IIshed upon the ground that, while all
the other Territories have at some time
during their Territorial existence, APP
pealed to charity for bread to feed their
furnishing inhabitants or relief from pes
thence and firs New Mexico, besides
having an abundance for her own peO-
pie, has always had = surplus more than
sufficient to supply the army stationed
in New Mexico and Arizona with bread
stuffs and forage Tho people are af-
frmcd to be law-abiding, Industrious,
thrifty and frugal, hosptable and gen
erous, conservative in financial affairs /;
slow to contract debts, and willing to
make sacrifices to pay them. 1t is fur
Their urged that since the adoption OF
of the Federal Constitution fifteen new
States have been admitted, each having
population of less that $4,000, and one
of the number less than $4,000, while
the average of the whole was about g.
coo Hence, she considers there is no i,rin-
ciple OF right or justice upon which she
can DO longer refused admission into
the Union.
