Injustice To New Mexico.

There is very little doubt that the
census will not do New Mexico justice.
Enough is known to make apparent
that the census enumeration was so i'm
perfect as to deprive the territory of
credit for perhaps one-fifth of it's pop
ulation and a great part of it's wealth.
The fault lies not altogether with the
census enumerators. In a territory so
large, among communities so scattered,
with settlers in mountain Businesses
far from travelled highways, the rules
and regulations adopted for taking the
census in thickly populated towns Of
the east could not have applied. The
census enumeratOrs of New Mexico
should have been twice as many as
they We're, they should have been given
more time and better pay, n there
should have been a deputy supervisor
for every county whose duty it should
have been to look personally after the
work that each enumerator was doing.
AS it is, New Mexico will have to be
satisfied with a count that does not do
justice to the growth and progress it
has made the past ten years.

Porto Rico's Progress.

Since Porto Rico is governed by the
United States it has made more real
progress than it did in the n~inety-nine
years preceding this year. Smallpox
has been stamped out, taxation has been
reduced. brigandage has been stopped,
bridges and roads have been construct
ed, harbors have been improved, the
needy have been fed, work has been
provided for the INDECENT, irrigation
works have been constructed, schools
have been opened, good teachers rave
been provided. text books have been
supplied and education has been made
compulsory so that the per cent of il
literacy in Porto Rico will not be
greater in a few years than 1t is in
Massachusetts. That is what so-called
"imperialism'' has done for the people
Of Porto Rico. New Mexico only re-
grets that it was annexed to the United
States under a Democratic administra-
ton instead of under ar administration
like that of President Mckinley.

Vigilance Is Imperative.

One of the Ell Paso papers has re-
ceived assurance from n of the Mex
| leo officials that Mexico will not insist
J upon the Objectionable clause in the
| Stephens bill which prohibits the con-
struction of irrigation works on the Rio
| Grande and it's tributaries above Ell
| Paso, INC that therefore New Mexico
| will drop it's objections against the in
ternational dam.
The New Mexican has proved again
and again hat Mexico has no right to
make any demands Upon the United
States regarding the waters of the Rio
Grande above the boundary line. Sec
rotary of State Olney rejected any and
all claims of Mexico in that respect
and the promoters of the international
dam scheme themselves have acknowl-
| edged that the United States is under
no treaty obligation to provide water
for the people on the Mexico side of the
Rio Grande who have been deprived of
it owing to the gradual drying up of
the water course Of the Rio Grande.
i hey nave IldlHtdlItu lidl lHclt -
no real obligation but only a moral OBJ
legation to do this. In view of these
facts, Mexico has nothing to withdraw
or add to the Stephens bill; it is legis-
lation that does not concern that coun-
try at all and any ak of the FL Paso
| papers to the contrary Is merely to
throw sane into the eyes of New Mex
leo people and to put them off their
| guard. Eternal vigilance is a necessity
on the part of New Mexico and this
territory cannot afford to leave the
Stephens bill go unmatched. It is true
that this territory has no objection to
the construction of a la at El Paso
or anywhere else on the Rio Grande as
long as coupled with it's construction
there goes no restriction, direct or i'm
piled, to prevent New Mexico from
making use Of all the waters of the
Rio Grande and it's tributaries within
the New Mexico boundary.
But while quibbling over the provis-
ions of h Stephens bill, a condition
and not a theory confronts the people |
Of New Mexico and of FL Paso, in Ie-
gard to the Mesilla valley. There is
no denying it that the waters of the
Rio Grande are less adequate every
year for the irrigation of the rettiic
Mesilla valley. Each year the COM
plant of drouth becomes louder ard
the cry for water more urgent. TIL,
Mesilla valley Is more to FL Paso than
all the settlements along the Rio
Grande from FL Paso to the Gulf of
Mexico taken together, and therefore
Ell Paso's self-interest demands that 1t
work hard for the welfare of that val
ley, much harder thar 1t is working for
the International dam. If the Mesilla
valley has to be abandoned by settlers
On account of the lack of water, Ell
PasO will be a city set in a desert, the
loss would be greater to it than If
it lost several Of its rail road lines.
Therefore FL Paso should drop ALL agi-
tation for the international dam and
should get to work with New Mexico
for the building of a dam that will save
the Mssilla valley and that will also
furnish water to Ell Paso and imme-
date surroundings. ]

DlSCOYERER OF COLORADO.
An Old New Mexico Family That Has
Achieved Fame.


Alva Baca, born last week, is the first
of the celebrated De Baca family to be
born in Denver. She is the direct lineal
descendant of Alva Nunez Cabeza de
Baca, who discovered Colorado and
named it. says the Denver News.
Little Miss Baca is the daughter of
Senior Vicente M. Raca and Sonora Mar
garita Chavez de Baca, who have only
been in Denver a few months, where
they came for the health of Mrs. Baca.
Miss Baca is to be named Alva, the
name of the Spanish discoverer, and
called that in spite of it's being a boys
name. because she hOnored Denver by
choosing it as her birth place.
Miss Alva is the youngest of nine
children. all her brothers and sisters
having been born in New Mexico where
| there are between 40, 900 and $4,000 de
Bacas. Alva's ancestor, the explorer,
landed in Florida in 1928 and travelled
across the continent through the whole
western country to the Pacific coast and
then back to New Mexico where he
settled permanently in the Jemez monn-
tains zeal the Jemez Hot Springs, in
the year 1880. Here the de Baca family,
generation after generation, have stayed
ever since, intermarrying with other
well known Spanish families until there
is scarcely one of them that hasn't de
Baca blood in his veins. When the
great explorer came up into the northern
country and saw the great red cliffs he
named it Colorado, but the climate was
cooler than his southern blood affiliated
with, so, after going into Montana and
naming that, he went back to the more
genial climate of New Mexico. The
Baca and Chavez families of today are
still the most influential and richest in
New Mexico, owning mines and land
galore. Little Miss Baca will, therefore
be rich in this worlds goods as well as
in ancestors and relatives.

Although the United States govefn-
ment had extraordinary expenses last
year, yet the tax on each individual in
the country was only $6,73. In Great
Britain the taxation is Yer $l2 per per-
son, or almost twice as much. If all the
real estate in the United States We're
divided, each individual would receive
1854. so, while in Great Britain each in
dividual would receive only $500 worth
of property. If the amount of gold and
silver in the country We're equally di-
vided, each individual would receive
$SS. 80, much more per capita than a di-
vision in other countries would bring.
1t is certain therefore that this country
is not yet going to the dogs, the calam-
ity howls of certain politicians to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
