knew Of it was from the New MEXICAN.
No doubt the Board of Trade does great
good by having thus the interests of San
ia Fe brought forward, and it isca most
laudable undertaking, but | beg to state
to your readers that ever since the good
Brother Botulph entered into office we
have several times spoken on this subject
of schools and agreed, the directors of
district No. 4, to have this winter q
school opened in the Sd ward for the
benefit of the children there.
But as the enumeration of the children
shows almost three times as many child
rem of school age in the I'd ward, and in
that part of the district which is not in
corporated, We agreed, Messrs. Conklin,
Schumann and | in union with the
school superintendent, to start first the
schools that are now established and at
once afterwards turn our attention toward
starting the other school. Our business
was thus far advanced when for the first
time you mentioned it in the New MExI-

Hoping all will be satisfactory in very
shorttime, l remain, dear sir,

NEW MEXIC0'S WEALTH.
Some Readable Figures From the Censns

The following gratifying showing of
New Mexico's wealth comes to hand from
official sources to-day:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
Census Office,
To the Editor of the New Mexican
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 4, 1911
send you herewith census bulletin No.
l04, showing the assessed valuation OF
property as compiled from the last census
returns, thinking it would be of interest
to your many readers throughout the ter
ritory. l have had compiled statement
showing the increase by counties through
out the territory, which you will find tab
ulated en- the sheet also sent herewith.
You will see that in the assessed valua-
ton per capita New Mexico stands sixth
on the list, being exceeded only by North
and South Dakota, Washington, Mon
tana and Utah. This shows very tlatter-
ing for the prosperity of the territory and
gives an assurance that within very
short time she will take front rank in the
development OF her agricultural, mineral
and other resources.
Yours respectfully,
A. +. CHILDs,
Acting Superintendent.
