APPROVED BY OFFICIALS
General Passenger Agents Distribute
Them Freely for the Benefit Of the
Territory and Of Their Lines

The general passenger agents of the
principal railroads in New Mexico are
appreciating the work done by the
Bureau of immigration and commend
it highly. The bureau during the past
| four years has issued from time to
time illustrated bulletins in editions Of
5000 or 10000 copies descriptive Of the
several counties, their resources, con-
ditions, climate, minerals and indus
tries, in a neat and attractive form and
of convenient size. These editions have
given great satisfaction and have been
very literally and freely distributed by
the railroads, by banks and irriga-
ton companies, by private citizens, by
members of the bureau and by the
secretary thereof. To show how the
general passenger agents of the rail-
roads view this work, the following
letters recently received by the bureau
are given
From the Santa Fe System.
Says w. j. Black, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe:
81 think the method you have of is
suing bulletins concerning the resour-
ces of the Territory of New Mexico by
counties. and the material used, is
about as good an arrangement as could
be made think they will have a very
good effect, and l will be glad to as
sist you in distributing same, and will
from time to time call on you for ad
ditional copies when our supply is eX-
hausted"

Says John Sebastian, passenger traf7.'
fic manager of the Rock Island SYSTEM:
81 beg to acknowledge receipt of fine
/ 900 copies of your new edition 4 the
Leonard Wood County bulletiY for
which please accept my thapks.
81 have perused the booklet very
carefully, and will make it point to
distribute advantageously. We are
very much impressed with the posi-.
bilities of Santa Rosa, and sincerely
hope that in the near futucs good
system of waterworks will be installed
in the town, as there is no donh thst
if the town was well provided fot
from the water proposition, healthy
growth would be insured. because OF
it's particularly good location from a
climatic standpoint. You may rest as
sured that it will afford me pleasure to
further the interests of New Mexico
on every possible opportunity
From the e. Paso & Northeastern.
Says A. N. Brown, general agent OF
the Ell Paso & northeastern:
Supply of Leonard Wood county
bulletins came to hand last afternoon
and must this time at least congratu-
late you on the manner in which you
have presented this county, which
really, so far as our experience goes.
had little startling material from
which to work. We will today supply
our connections, as usual, and trust
the bulletins may do some good espe-
cially in attracting sheep and goat
growers, for whom that vicinity seems
adapted"
From the Pecos Division Of the Santa
Fe Route.
From Don A. Sweet, traffic manager
Of the Pecos Valley division of the
Santa Fe lines.
Il have been away SO mucn since
your favor of the 9th came. that have
not had an opportunity to look over
your bulletin on Roosevelt County as
carefully as wanted to before writing
you.
81 think YOU have made a wonderful
in this bulletin considering
the difficulty in gathering information
about country like that which has
been until 80 recently cattle country
with only few places widely separat-
ed where any attempt has been made
at cultivation of the soil.
Il think we could use several thou
sands of these little pamphlets to ad-
vantage but will be satisfied with such
a supply as you can spare us"
