The annual report of Governor Otero
to the secretary OF the interior was made
public by the department Saturday
The press synopsis states that the COVER
nor estimates tho population Of the
territory at 2s5,OOO. and makes an urgent
appeal for statehood: He says;
II Eost earnestly renew the recon-
mendaticn in my last report with ref
erence to the early admission of New
Mexico. The reasons given at that time
for admission are stronger now by rea-
son Of increased population, wealth and
intelligence. Since that time our as
sessed value fot taxation has increased
and it lie now more than s4OOO0,Oo0. and
constantly growing, while the p0pula-

600 pounds more than eyer before 10 her
history, while her mines OF copper and
gold are being developed in a manner
never before known. More capital has
been invested in their development dur
ing the past year than previously.
"For 6fty years the territory has been
asking for this recognition granted by
solemn treaty stipulations. As long ago
as 1850 New Mexico adopted a state con,
stitution and elected a governor and
two United States senator's, and its ad-
mission was only prevented by the
adoption Of the celebrated compromise
measures Of that year. Twenty years
afterward 1t held a constitutional con-
Venticn which formulated a most ad-
mirablo constitution.
"In 1s76a bill to admit it to statehood
passed both houses Of congress and
failed to become a law. In 1889 there
was a constitutional convention lasting
nearly month, composed Of men of the
highest character and ability, and their
labors resulted in the presentation Of a
constitution which have no hesitation
10 saying was the beet formulation in
the United States, Copies we're laid be-
fore both houses Of congress and sew
eral bills we're introduced Tor its admis-
sion; and since that time each session
OF congress has seen bills introduced by
members Of both political parties for
the adu ssion Of New Mexico as a state,
which has 90 far failed, and for which
failure no good reason has been given.
sThe material prosperity Of the ter
ritory Of New Mexico is not more mark
ed than is its moral advancement. The
