resolved to maintain at all costs the

The opposition in Congress is prepar-

ial program is one devoid of common
sense.

supporting 5,0O0,000 people. He dwells
with emphasis on the mineral and ag-
rlcultural resources of the country:

grown last year; the culture Of sugar
beets Is making rapid hcadw1y in all
parts of the territory. but especially
In the Pecos valley, where the culture
has been well established A sugar
factory has been established at
Eddy. and the governor makes
the prediction that this will

experiments demonstrate that the en-
tire Rio Grande valley, from Colorado
TO Texas, Is equally well adapted to
the culture of the beet; that the entire
irrigable land in the territory may
thus be used. The cultivation OF
cnnaigre for tanning purposes Is also
growing to be an important industry.
The governor calls attention tn the
fact that New Mexico is gold. bearing

MORKING THE PASS.
4 Newspaperman Has Done Wonders on
the White Trail.

Seattle, WASH, Sept. 19.--The most
conspicuous figure of the grand con-
fusion at Skaguay and the White pass
IL Sylvester Scovel, the correspondent
OF the New York World, who organ
ICED a party and furnished the neces-
sary tools and dynamite to put the
trail in passable condition at an eN-
pense of several thousand dollars,
enabling many to get through to the
gold fields this fall. Mr.. Scovel is now
in the city having arrived today on the
steamer Resale. He brings the news
that at least 1000 men with complete
outfits viii get through TO the Yukon
river. though he believes that only q
small fraction OF this number viii
reach Dawson city before winter.
From the best Information he could
obtain. gathered from all sources, he
believes that $500 men have gotten
over the ChillSoot pass and have
gone down TO the mines These men,
however,with few exceptions. have gone
through with little or no supplies, the
average amount taken by each man
being not over 500 or 800 pounds. not
more than enough to get him to the
scene Of the great gold fields, where
provisions are not to be had.
when you ask me what condition
the White trail is in" said Mr.. Scovel,
81 tell you that the White pass has not
been used by the thousands of men
Who have been climbing over the
mountains from Skaguay to the lakes
Instead OF using the pass the men
have scrambled up along the sides OF
the mountains $50 feet above the pass
The reason they have done this Is that
the pass Itself is full OF boulders and
even In Its present shape is impossible.
