MILITARY POST CONTROVERSY.
Letter from Ex-Governor Prince on the
Question at Issue.

The following appeared in Fridays
issue of the Albuquerque Citizen:
As the Democrat has published let
ters from Mr.. Cromwell and Mr.. Fer
gusson, in which Ex-Governor Prince and
Mrs. Prince are severely criticized, The
Citizen publishes the following letter re-
garding the contest in Washington:
"Washington, D. c., Nov. 30.-My
Dear Mr.. Hughes: 1 don't know that
YOU care for anything from here, bat l
feel like writing line on account of
Fergusson's extreme attitude l got
here Thanksgiving noon. The army
board has not met since. Learned from
Baird that they do not wish to hear ar
guments, but very brief statement,
perhaps accompanied by written brief
setting forth facts. Rodey and Fergus
son had been before the board very soon
after it organized.
II saw Rodey and we had talk,
much In the line with what you and l
said in Albuquerque, |. e.: If there
came contest between an Arizona
place and any one point in New Mexico
(other New Mexico places being without
chance) we should all unite for the New
Mexico place. That seems fair and
sensible. But Ferguson opposed this
plan, having come from New York or
Philadelphia, and is very belligerent in
his languages; he denounces Santa Fe
terribly; insists that our people only
started action to injure Albuquerque,
etc. Really, was amazed at such stuff,
and tried to pacify him; but he became
more violent and threatened terrible
things about the capital when the terri
tory became state.
II am preparing brief as to Santa
Fe, to file with the board, and | am
absolutely certain that it will not con-
tain one word unfavorable to Albuquer-
que or any other place, but simply be a
plain statement as to climate, facilities,
etc. l want you to understand this, for
II F. continues in his present frame OF
mind there is no telling what he may
say. 1 had no idea he went off on such
tangents. Yours.
l.. B. PRINCE"

General passenger agents of western

control all Pacific coast passenger busi-

In announcing it's intention to be not
longer a party to the military agree
ment, the Southern Pacific stated it's
action was not dictated by and desire
to cause a disturbance in the rates of
the military business, but by conditions
having changed since the agreement
was made.
The object is to bring about at this
meeting reconsideration of the entire
situation and the adoption of methods
to meet present requirements.

1t Points Out the Injustice Done New Mex
leo by the Last Census

Washington, Dec. 10.-The annual re-
port of Governor Otero Of New Mexico,
renews the plea for statehood and says
the federal census returns of 1900 do
the territory great injustice. He says
the population of the territory. based
on careful estimates, should be at this
time 313,191, including Indians; also
for mining, stock raising, agriculture,
horticulture, timber, coal and iron in
dustries, and attributes the alleged dis
crepancy in figures to the inadaptabili-
ty of the present system to the sparsely
settled mountain sections of the coun-
