THE Denver News, IN its issue OF last
Sunday, contained well illustrated article
of seven columns, descriptive of the town
of Eddy, the lower Pecos valley and the
magnificent irrigation system of the Pecos
Irrigation & Improvement company. The
description given of the section by the
staff correspondent of the News is abso-
lutely correct and in no particular over
drawn. The growth of the town and Of
the county of Eddy are simply wonderful
and the Pecos Irrigation & Improvement
company's system is one of the grandest,
most complete safest and best construct
ed on this continent. The News is doing
excellent service for New Mexico in this
series of articles, and the New MEXICAN
takes great pleasure in so stating and pro-
claiming. In this connection it is only
proper to remark that the lower Pecos
valley, in lower Chaves and Eddy coun-
ties, is one of the favored sections, not
only of New Mexico, but indeed of the
whole country; this fact is becoming
known and hence the valley is settling up
rapidly and its progress is simply astound-

CHAIRMAN MCKINLEY.

That WAS shrewd politics on the part OF
the Harrison friends in the convention to
place Mckinley in the chair. We do not
believe that it was done through any fear
on the part of the Harrison men that it
was safer for them to shelve Mckinley
than to have him at large on the floor OF
the convention, A great deal OF talk TO
this effect is INDUCED in, but it is not at
all plausible. Mckinley has always been
a frank, out-spoken friend of the presi'
dent. He was worker for his renomlna-
ton from the start, believing that his ex-
cellent administration made him worthy
of the honor for second time. Again
Gov. Mckinley has been practically a
part of the success of the Harrison admin
istration. His work in congress laid the
foundation for success in the last cam
paign. 1t was therefore simply Just act
to give the great Ohioan prominent
place at this time. He will be called
upon by the people to step up higher
later on

Areas in the arid regions are vast, state
and territorial limits are broad, and COM
PARSONS are necessary to form an idea OF
them. Distribute New Mexico over the
northeastern states and it would nearly
cover all of New England, New York and
New Jersey. Plant and irrigate its soil
at different attitudes, and it will not only
produce everything that is grown in those
states, but also large variety of semi
tropical fruits which could not thrive in
the east Give it for development frag-
ment of the capital which is lying dormant
in those eastern states, and in less than
ten years it will blossom into one of the
grandest commonwealth in the union.
The elements of greatness are all there,
and they require only the quickening
spirit that reposes idly in eastern
monetary centers to bring them into
an active and remuneratlve existence.
There are healthy indications that a
change has begun in the territory. Its
mining interests were never brighter, and
its fruit and agricultural resources are
slowly being developed, because outside
capital has been backward in its move
ment thither. The corners Of the terri
tory have been the first to respond. In
the northeast, on the Maxwell grant,
thousands of dollars have been expended
in irrigation bitches with good results.
In the northwest, regardless of the prox-
| unity of great Indian reservations, patient
settlers have, by combined effort, created
a magnificent fruit-growing country which
is, as yet, remote from railways, although
such connections are promised before
many months. In the east the vast irrl-
CATION canals in the Pecos valley are at
tracing hundreds of settlers, and III the
southeast the spirit of progress is begin
ming to become manifest. In the south
west are mining interests which long ago
established their fame. Through its
center runs the Rio Grande, carrying a
volume of water, which, if stored in the
winter and spring months, would make
hundreds OF thousands of acres fertile and
productive during the summer and autumn.
There are two tracts in the vicinity OF San
Marcal which will probably be opened TO
improvement and settlement this season,
the Bosque del Apache grant and the
Armendaris grant. The former is owned
by Hon. s. B. Elkins, the latter by Will
son Waddingham, men OF progressive
ideas. They comprise some magnificent
fruit lands, and, under a comprehensive
system of irrigation, which can be con-
structed at comparatively small cost, they
will yield handsome returns to the fruit
grower. With the agricultural college at
Las Cruces, not far distant, settlers upon
these lands will have reliable guide to
profitable cultivation, and experimental
work will be wholly superfiuous.
The land grant court, recently estab-
lished, is settling all disputes which have
thus far come before it, in highly salts
factory manner, and contested titles in
the territory will soon be thing of the
past. The future for New Mexico is a
bright one, and the class OF people who
are already being attracted by its possi-
bilities, and who are occupying its newly
irrigated lands, would be credit to any
state. The Arid Region.

The lands of the great valleys of the
Rio Grande and Pecos in New Mexico are
now being rapidly brought under canals
for irrigation and are fast attracting
population. The territory has long had
the population for a state. 1t has OF late
years made rapid progress in all the in
telectual and moral elements that make
the greatness of states. 1t would be
manifest injustice to keep it longer in the
territorial condition. Denver Sun.

THE NEW MEXICO DELEGATION ON TOP.

The New Mexico delegation did well at
the Republican national convention the
six delegates were admitted and every one
was placed in an important position.
Full six votes were cast by it; this result
proves the wisdom of the Republican ter
ritorial convention, in selecting six dele
gates. The Republicans OF New Mexico
can always be counted on to work for the
best interests Of New Mexico.

FayOrs the Admission of New Mexico.
The bills admitting New Mexico and
Arizona as states into the Union passed
the lower house of congress yesterday.
They will now, of course, go to the SEN
ate. 1t is to be hoped that they will be
promptly and favorably considered by
that body, and be passed and be approved
by the president The Republican ma
iorty in the senate should not allow
themselves to be influenced by party
considerations in dealing with these meas
ures. And, really, the matter of party
advantage is scarcely involved in the
question OF their enactment.
In case the two territories should be-
come states, the Republicans would have
about equal chances with the Democrats
for securing control of them. The popu-
ation that is sure to be attracted to the
two commonwealth within the next year
or 30 by the great irrigation and other
enterprises lately naugurated within
their limits, will naturally be largely Re-
publican. If now made states, they will
probably both cast their electoral votes
for the Republican candidate for presi-
dent in 1896.
In their efforts to secure adm ission, the
two territories would seem to be especial
ly entitled to the assistance of the sem
ators from the new states. Both have
good claims to statehood. Both have
large natural resources, to the develop
ment of which capital and enterprise are
being rapidly attracted. Both have mines
of silver and gold, and wide, fertile val
leys for the growing of grains and the
raising OF fruits. The valley of the Colo
RADIO river alone is larger than the famed
Delta of the Nile. And experiments in
fruit culture in the vicinity of Yuma and
below that city prove that, it's soil is as
productive. That valley alone would sup
port the population of the average state of
the Union.

AN OLD MARYLAND ESTATE IN
CoURT.-Long before the revolutionary
war, while the southeast part of the
District, beyond the Eastern Branch,
was part of Calvert Manor, Rev. John
Addison. an Oxonian or graduate Of Ok
ford University, bought an extensive
estate in Prince Georges county, Md,
and named it "OXon HILL erecting
there one of the finest colonial man
sions of the day, making, with Belyoir,
Mount Vernon and the Carlyle man
sion, on the opposite side of the river,
the aristocratic seats of this neighbor-
hood. Part of the Addison estate was
purchased half a century ago by Zacha-
riah Berry. and, after various business
transactions, it became the property Of
John c. Head, and rs a portion of the
estate is within the District of Column
bia, he fled a bill yesterday to remove
cloud from the title and made the
Berry heirs parties For half century
the name of the estate was popularity
corrupted to Oxen Hill and a stream
which bounds it and empties into the
Potomac near Shepherd Station, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is still
called Oxen run.
