WITH more than $1,000 900 going into
bona fde, first class irrigation enterprises
in various parts OF this territory at the
present time and excellent probabilities
that this amount will be doubled before
next year is half out, New Mexico Is
gradually getting in position to take her
place as one OF the great fruit and farming
states of the union. There will be no
difficulty in getting in a thrifty agricul-
tural population if only the water rights
are secure, as witness the fact that in the
Pecos valley alone more than 10000
water rights have been sold within the
past year.

It's hardly safe to depend upon ordi-
nary signs, but nevertheless it looks IS
though there would be no inconsiderable
amount OF railroad building throughout
the west this coming year notwithstanding
the alliances defensive and offensive Of
such companies as the Santa Ee-Rock
Island, the Missouri Pacihc-Rio Grande,
the Union Pacific Northwest and so
on, ad liz. The Burlington and Union
Pacific are each to get to the Pacific coast
by some hook or crook ere long,
and it is said the Baltimore 4 Ohio has
its eye on the grainary of the central west,
with a view to getting the long haul Of
4rain that now tends toward Baltimore
more directly than other far east cities.
With these big corporations Il policy Of
absorbing smaller and weaker lines will
probably be adopted, but on the other
hand it seems likely that new enterprises
will jump in to take the place OF lines
thus absorbed, and from these most Of
the new construction must come.
In New Mexico four or five projects OF
promise may be noted. These comprise
line via Trinidad and Taos valley
through the Chama region and southern
Utah to the coast to be built either by the
Rock Island or the c., B. & O.; the eX-
tension OF the A., T. x S. f. from So
zorro to Benson; a branch OF the Fort
Worth < Denver into the Pecos valley !;
the new gull line from Fort Worth into
central New Mexico, and the extension
of the narrow gauge system from Santa
Fe south, at least as far as Cerrillos ana
San Pedro. All these are projects OF more
or less promise which there is reason for
believing will soon be under construction.

THE Washington national board of pro-

THE sentiment among leading Republi-
cans in congress seems to be in favor OF
the enactment Of stringent but just fed
eral election laws. This government
ought to protect its voters, have fair cleo
tons and an honest count within It's
borders, whether north or south, east or

ADVANTAGES OF STATEHOOD.

We think that the past has been suffi-
cient criterion to -0vern us in the course
best to pursue in our actions in regard to
the statehood of New Mexico. There may
he objections we'll founded to the admis-
sion Of the territory to statehood, but the
questions Tor us to answer are those OBJ
jr tons paramount to the advantages that
will aCcrne by becoming state. Will not
statehood bring advantages and privileges
which can not be enjoyed in the subater-
nate relation? If not, then where were the
reasons for all the territories becoming
states? And yet every territory has hast
ened with all speed to become a state, and
We know of no one of them which would
consent for a moment to return to their
former Conditi N. Surely, then, there
must be in statehood advantages, or We
would have territories instead of states.
Every one knows that a command not
backed with at least some authority to
enforce compliance, is nothing more than
a simple request, with the granting left
entirely with the person besOught. And
just such Il relation the territories sustain
to the national government. We may ask
through our delegate to congress, and
while that body may be very cautious, yet
it has not the fear of the territory that it
would Of a state to lend an incentive
to action. We have no vote to cast
now; but suppose We have instead Of one
delegate without vote, two senators and
u congressman armed with vote each, it
is not hard to see just where the great diff
ference lies. And when we remember
that every section is demanding that
something he done for them, and while
they carve from the rich viands, the ter
ritOry-like the outca>t dog-stunds wait
ing at the door, with please, the bone
when you gentlemen are through with
il" Such is about the relation in which
territory stands with congress so far as
iavors are concerned. And why not the
territory has no eleCtoral vote to cast, and
no rights in congress, fu 'ther than to an
swer questions propounded. We think
of statehood as we do OF manhood, with
individual rights backed by privileges -

HONEST JOHN MILLER is the best
man in all North Dakota to repre-
sent all classes He needs no intro
duction to the people Of our district,
having so ably represented us in the
last Senate. He is farmer but not
a ''crank' broad minded, liberal
and solid on all the vital questions
pertaining to the welfare Of our
new State. With John Miller as
Governor the Republican party and
the people will have representative
in whom they may repose confidence.
The REPUBLICAN was the first news

1t is with deep sorrow we are
called upon to chronicle the deaths
of so many small children in our

nearly all instances has been cholera

thankfulness when the warm DAYS
are over. One of the latest deaths is
the little child Of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
