oBERLY's REPORT.
What 10 Has TO Say About the Indians
His accommodation.

His Recommendations.
WAsnIygToN, Jan. l3.-John II. Oberly,
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs, has sub.
mitled To the Secretary Of the Interior the
report Of the operations Of his bureau for
the year ended June 30, 1855. This usual
delay is explained by the fact that Com.
missioner Oborly was but recently APP
pointed TO his present position. The sta
tislical and routine matters were, how
ever. laid before the Secretary in time Tor
review In his annual report, issued early
in December The Commissioner, In the
present report, discusses the set Of juno
%, lsSs, by which the authority and duties
Of the superintendent Of Indian schools
were extended, and says that these addi.
tons have raised certain questions con.
corning the relations Of that officer 10 the
Indian bureau. Thenct referred 10 changed

regulations The Commissioner reaches
the conclusion that the most natural,
economical aud effective administration
Of Indian school affairs will BE- secured by

OF restricting him 10 two lines Of work in
connection with but one class Of schools;
and, second, 10y providing that hc shall

THE committee on education of the
house has been hard at work perfecting a
bill which will be reported very probably
on Saturday next. Representative Foster,
the chairman OF the committee, is very
busy getting the bill ready. The salient
features of the measure are: The Office OF
territorial superintendent Of schools is
created; that official is to be appointed by
the governor, by and With the consent Of
the council, and is to Hold office for two
years. territorial bod rd of education is
created, consisting of the governor as
president, the auditor as treasurer, and
the school superintend ent as secretary
the latter appoints the teachers, upon
certificates from local boards; each
school district is authorized upon q
vote to collect taxes fol the maintenance
OF its schools, there is also small terri
torial tax to be levied. All fines in JUS
tice of the peace courts and proceeds from
sales Of estrays go to tif school fund the
sheriff collects the schd DOL taxes and they
must be kept in sepafate fund; schools
must be kept open at lbast three months
in each year, and reading, writing arith-
metic, photography and the English Ian
guage must be taught.
Work on the bill is dill progressing and
other requirements AID ideas are to be
added to it.

House bill No. Al, introduced by Col
Fountain, the speaker of the house, pro-
hibits any county commissioner, sheriff,
assessor, probate judge, probate clerk or
any other person who as principal or
deputy holds any county office, from spec
ulating in any manner in county or ter
ritorial warrants. 1t also prohibits all
town or city officers from dealing in or
specializing in town or city warrants.
Severe penalties are prescribed for any
violations of the provisions of the bill.
The latter should become law. Heretofore
there has been great deal of job
berry and dealing in territorial and
county paper; officials, especially county
officers, have been doing considerable
business in that line; few men have
made money at the expense of the tax
payers and county and territorial treas
uries. Rings have been formed to bear
down the price and value OF all territorial
and county paper. Every eptoward stop
ping this sort Of business, and especially to-
ward suppressing combinations of officials
and spectators to keep down the price of
warrants, will prove beneficial We hope
to see Col. Fountains bill speedily
enacted and in force as a law.

STRONG COMPANIES HAVE SEEN

the opportunities and are now taking out
canals in all of these valleys. BY resort
ing to those methods which have been
found practicable in California, there is
but small area of the plain lands, includ-
ing the higher mesas, which can not be
proftably reclaimed and cultivated.
Referring to Mr., Josephs unfortunate
allusion to sheep raisers, an industry
which has langulshed more than any
other, the Tribune says: eff horses and
cattle could be raised to advantage in the
territory, less of it would be devoted to
sheep grazing" Since 1880 the number
of cattle in the territory has been multi
piled tenfold, and both horse and cattle
raising has been found exceptionally prof
table and successful. In fact, intelligent
stock men are looking to that mild eli
mate as the breeding grounds for the
herds of the future. Its nutritious gramma
grass and it's productive alfalfa afford the
foundation for an almost unlimited cattle
industry.
Now, in conclusion, let me present
some facts which can not be successfully
refuted
The area of New Mexico is almost two
and a half times as great as that of
Illinois, The single county of Lincoln is
about half as large as this state. Its
natural resources are greater than those of
either half of this state, and with the
same employment OF capital, are capable
of Welding greater returns on the invest
nent. The same is probably true of any
equal area OF New Mexico.

with the precious metals, but there are
vast deposits of iron and coal of the best
quality. Its cattle ranges are co extensive
With the territory. Its horticultural prod
ucts are the same as of California, eX-
cepting the citrus fruits, and are only half
tina distance from the markets Of the east.
With all its disadvantages and drawbacks
its assessabe values have increased
more than three-fold since 1850, now
amounting to nearly $5O0OO,0OD while,
in the same time, the rate of valuation
has been constantly lowered. 1t has had
bit one railroad systematic Santa Fe-
giving it no benefit from competition, but
now the Missouri Pacific and the Rock
Island are close upon its borders, prepar-
ing to cross it, The Chicago 4 Alton

ern Kansas in the same direction, while
the Santa Fe has two of the main lines Of
its great system projected across it.
You may hinder and delay the progress
Of the territory in its progl essive march =,
and admit your great Influence if it shall
be exerted to that end, but l submit that
you are doing great injustice to large
population OF common nationality and
blood, to say nothing Of the native popu-
lation which has shown willingness to
adopt our progressive systems OF industry,
and which also shows its good sense by
being Republican in politics by large
majority. We, as Republicans, surely
need their help in the future, as we have
had in the past to overcome the Demo-
cratic influences which have moved there
from Missouri and Texas.

ARE ENTITLED TO CITIZENSHIP.

Nearly one-third of the voting popula
ton in 1880 was American or English
speaking, as distinguished from the native
population, and the increase since has
been almost altogether by immigration
from the states, induced by the building
of railroads, except the small natural in
crease. New Mexico has to-day an Ameri-
can population not less than $4,000, made
up of progressive, enterprising citizens
from other parts of the country, with Hi
nos well represented in number and abili
ty. The native population, whom the
Tribune derides as ''greasers," have not
experienced the advantages of public ed
ucation enjoyed for generations i'll our
states, but more courteous, gentle, we'll
intentioned people does not exist q better,
more law-abiding class of laboring citizens
is not found anywhere, and, as compared
with the laboring population of any of the
southern states, is superior in intelligence.
They speak the language of the country
from which they were detached and nat
urally favor it as the language Of their
fathers. The statements copied from a
rowing correspondent, and Endorsed by the
Tribune, are altogether misleading and
false. For instance, he says there are not
dozen Englisll-speaking schools in the
territory. am safe in saying there are
more than ten, and probably twenty times
that number, single counties having thirty
or forty each where no other language
than English is taught. He says the pub
lie schools are either not in existence at
all or are open only three or four months
in the wear,

UNDER THE LAW

there must be school at least six months
to be entitled to apportionment from the
school fund, and in many of the counties
the schools are continued eight and nine
months, either from the overplus of the
school fund or by individual contribu-
tons. Teachers command from $40 to
800 per month in the district schools, and
the interest in public education is most
commendable. There are one or two ex-
ceptions, Valencia county being the most
notable. Again, he says there are serious
dissensions in the Republican ranks,
which is not the case. The split of four
years ago has been most thoroughly
healed, and the party was a unit in the
last election.
The Tribune says it is in the most arid
part of the republic. So are Colorado,
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and
large part of the most populous portions
of California. You rdicule the idea of an
irrigated country, regardless OF the fact
that the most remarkable growth and
prosperity has been enjoyed by Colorado
and California within the past few years
in those sections where the whole Deepen
dence is on irrigation. Nowhere has land
increased so rapidly in value; nowhere
does it produce 80 large returns to the cul-
tivator New Mexico is infinitely better
watered than Kansas or Nebraska. In
the northern portion of the territory all of
the valleys have flowing streams, which
have supported an agricultural population
for centuries. The experience OF the last
few years shows that in its every part
wells are obtainable at moderate depths,
and it is through this fact that the whole
territory is now occupied by stockmen,
with an industry which has held its own
against every
The Tribune says that every dollar
taken out of the mines of New Mexico
has cost dollar to take it out. The fact
is that its production of the precious min
erals is greater in proportion to the cap
ital which has been invested there than
development has only been in progress
since the depression in mining industries
following the great Leadvlle excitement.
While Colorado miners get their ores
smelted at cost of not more than 50 to
50 per ton, the New Mexico ore has to
pay in smelling charges and transporta-
ton from $l2 to $50, and yet mining is
profitable and the production reaches sew
eral millions annually. Given equal adj
yantages, New Mexico will outstrip her
neighbors in the race.
Again the Tribune says that "all of the
arabic land on which crops can be grown
by irrigation in all New Mexico and Ari-
IONA does not exceed that of half dozen
average counties OF Illinois, Indiana, or
Iowa" Such a statement shows how
little general knowledge there is as to the
conditions actually existing there. There
IS hardly an acre OF all the plain land,
amounting to many millions, which is not
of the highest fertility when water can be
put upon it. The great valleys of the Rio
Grande, the Pecos and the ella are avail
able for irrigation throughout almost their
entire extent by flowing water from the
streams, and there is water enough flow
ing through them to reclaim every acre
by surface canals and acequias when
properly utilized.
