Territorial Bureau OF immigration.

The report of the bureau of immigra-
ton of the territory for the period be-
ginning April /, 1897, and ending Janu-
airy, 1899, has been made to Governor
Otero.
The report deals with the work of the
bureau in detail, and makes a crafty
ing showing of what has been accom-
published. The files of the
secretary's office show that during the
time covered by the report. 1,O1O inqui-
ries, of which 436 We're general, 252 ag-
ricultural and colonization, 1893 mining
and 124 climatic, We're received. Thir-
ty-four of the inquiries were from par
ties representing themselves to be at
the head of colonies looking for large
tracts of land, and some of the advance
agents of these colonies are now in the
territory looking for the lands wanted.
The secretary of the bureau, Hon. Lo-
rion Miller, is of the opinion that The
bureau has received less than half of
the inquiries which have reached the
territory. One paragraph of the report
says: THE interest taken in the terri
tory by outsiders is rapidly on the in
crease. The h~esitancy that the home
seeker usually shows in locating in
New Mexico is caused by his not under
standing the advantages of farming by
irrigation. Some legislative enact
ments, in accordance with the report
and suggestions of the commission on
irrigation and water rights, would bet
ter regulate and simplify the methods
of irrigation and have a tendency to
satisfy the home seeker and greatly as
sist the work of immigration"
The bureau complains of the difficulty
experienced in answering questions
concerning the territory, for the reason
hat there is no way at hand for OBJ
| tanning official statistics. Particularly
is this true concerning the mineral out
| put. One district alone, in 1898, produced
| more than is generally credited to the
| entire territory. This is caused in many
instances by the failure to make a rec
| ord of the output of different mines IN
til the ores reach reduction works in
adjoining states. In the absence of sta
| tistics it is impossible for an outsider
| to form a correct idea of the wealth of
| New Mexico, and a business man who
is looking for a location wants to see
facts and figures.
The moneys appropriated by the ter
| ritorial legislature for the use of the
| bureau are shown to have been care
| fully and economically expended, the
greater part having been used to pay
for the publication and distribution OF
pamphlets treating upon the varied in
dustries of New Mexico. During the
Nashville and Omaha expositions 1875, OOC
copies of literature of the kind mention
ed were scattered broadcast over the
north and east.
The membership of the board at pres
ent is constituted as follows: Hon. F.
A. Manzanares, of Las Vegas, presi-
dent; Hon. Lorion Miller, of Albuquer-
que, secretary; Mr.. ]. D. Hughes, OF
Santa Fe. treasurer; Mr.. F. Lowenthal
Albuquerque; Captain w. H. III. Lew
ellyn, Las Cruces, and Mr.. Lucius Dills
of Roswell.

The introduction of a bill in the New
Mexico Legislature, lowering the legal
rate of interest from IL to 8 per cent, is
a sign as emphatic as can be desired
that the financial stability characteris-
tic of eastern and a more thickly popu-
lated civilization is becoming also char
acteristic of this territory. 1t is a sure
indications of an increase in the solidity
and status of economic conditions OBJ
tanning in New Mexico which is encour-
aging. Capital is ever timid and appre-
hensive, ready to flee at the first sign
of danger or uncertainty, and 1t has al
ways been noted that where society Is
unsettled or the rights Of property in
secure, the rates of interest are corre-
s%pondingly high, and loans hard to Sc
cure. But as there is a sense Of security
and faith in stability Of local society
institutions, in just so far VIII
banks and investors be ready to make
loans at lower rates of interest In this
territory.

One of the duties of the Legislature,
viewing matters from an economical
standpoint, is to create an officer to be
known as insurance commissioner"
The territorial auditor is already over
burdened with duties, and the insur-
ance transactions of his office are con-
stantly increasing, making it almost
necessary to have additional help in the
way of clerks. The salary of such an
official could and should be paid out of
the fees received from the business
transacted, and would, therefore, not
cost the territory a cent, but would
greatly facilitate the transaction of the
business of the territory. Governor
Otero, in his message to the legislature,
recommended this change. and his rec
concentration is worthy of Favorable
action on the part of the members of the
council and the house.

The Hon. Serene e. Payne, of New
York, has been appointed by Speaker
Reed to fill the place of leader in the
house of representatives made vacant
by the death of Mr.. Dingley. The Demo-
cratic members of congress are endeav-
oring to make political capital out of
this incident, for the reason thai Mr..
Payne is a stanch friend of President
Mckinley, and the appointment is con-
sidered as a surrender to the admins
tration by Mr.. Reed. The speaker
is probably capable of making his ap-
pointments in the house without con-
sulting the Democrats of the country,
and that "deep-seated enmity between
the president and the speaker of the
house, which is talked about so much
in anti-administration circles, is not so
deep seated as might be supposed.

u

lis ever the same, wherever you go
There's a lad and a lass together.
Whatever YOU think or whatever you know,
Believe rs you may, it was always so.
In fair OF in foulest weather.
Ere men knew aught of the skies above,
Or of earth with it's harvest growing,
There We're secret trysts in field and grove.
There were lips that told all the words of love,
A the wind is adept in blowing.
Who taught the roses to bloom full red
And the lily its graceful bearing?
Did the pearl lie deep in the ocean bed
To learn at last how its light is shed,
Its beauty with others sharing2
Love never came with task in view,
But born in the heart of maiden.
Wherever she went it flourished and grew
AS fresh as the morn, as pure as the dew
And as sweet as a rose in Aidenn.

Congressional opposition to army re-
organization is a sword that cuts both
ways. In fighting the healthful meas
ures proposed by the administration,
the opposition have, uncon-
sciously, perhaps, postponed indefi-
nitely, or until their two years
of service are up, the mastering out of
any more volunteers. A large number
of regiments have already been muster
ed out, until the size of the army has
got down to what the War department
believes to be the margin of safety, and
with possible, if not probable trouble
ahead in the Orient, the department
holds that it will be unsafe to discharge

on it, a regular army of the dimensions

and suitably differed, would be speed
ily enlisted, the volunteers released
from further service, and a stop put to
the stream of petitions flooding the War
department day by day, for the muster

ties of the present congress may make
it necessary for the president to call a
special session of the next congress to
settle this question.

THIRTY-SEvEN FATAL AGE.
Famous Men Who Have Died When
They Reached That Year.

| Toledo Blade.
| The age Of thirty-seven is a particu-
| larry fatal age. An examination Of the
| records Of the United States government
| shows that more people die at that age
| than at any other after attaining their
| majority. It is also ascertained that more
misfortunes overtake persons at that age
| than at any other time in their lives, and
| that few fortunate events befall them
| An examination of history develops the
| same thing. At the age of thirty-seven
a great sorrow befell Aristotle, the death
| of Plato. his friend and teacher, with
| whom he had studied for nearly twenty
years. This sorrow showed it's effects
| upon his future life, and to it may be
| attributed the sad tones of his later writ
| ings.
| 1t was at the age of thirty-seven that
Lord Byron died of fever In Greece. AS
Lord Beaconsfleld says, "TIe was great
| er as q man than rs a writer, and his
| loss to the world was a great blow to It,"
| Raphael, the glory of italian art, died
| at thirty-seven. He fell sick a week
| before his birthday Of cold and fever and
| died on that day. Good Friday. In him
| the world lost one of its greatest artists.
| In music, like art and poetry, England
lost her greatest composer at the age Of
| thirty-seven. Purcell, the most distin-
| guished musician Britain produced, died
| within few days after attaining his
| thirty-seventh year The regard in which
| he was held in England placed him on
! par with Milton in epic poetry, with
| Shakespeare on the stage, Locke in met
| aphysics, and Sir Isaac Newton In phil
osophy and mathematics.
1t was at the age Of thirty seven, too,
| that England lost a military genius that
| she regarded of the highest rank and
| ,1romiSe Prince Henry of Battenburg
died of fever in Ashantee in that year of
| his life.
| Pascalll too, died at thirty-seven, but
| why see more illustrations? These are
| Sufficient to illustrate the fatality of that
| age among geniuses. Where death failed
| misfortune often befell.
So the age Of thirty-seven may be re-
garded as the fatal age of all those after
| man passes his majority.
