Comments on Growth.
I consider the foregoing statement
as one upon which we can congratu-
late ourselves. The increase in popu-
lation. enrolment of pupils, number of
schools and teachers and financial con-
dition, is nothing short Of remark
able.
According two parents to each
child OF school age, the population OF
New Mexico today would be 215, $50.
The United States census Of 1900 gives
the population Of New Mexico, 1885,
$40. Denying absolutely that the cen
sus Of 1900 was complete. but conced-
ing for the sake of argument that it
was, we find that there has been an In
crease in the population OF the ter
ritory Of 2o,540 in three years. II Is
known to every resident of this ter.
ritory, or should be known, that the.
figures given by the United States cen.
sus are incorrect, and fall far short Of
what they should be. R%ecolleeting
that my estimate OF the population OF
New Mexico is based entirely upon
the school census under which appor-
tionment Of funds Is made, and in
view Of the fact that there are great
numbers Of unmarried men here en-.
gagged in mining. stock raising and
other pursuits, a 1t be said that my
statement that there are 10000 such
is not a conservative one? BY this
addition, New Mexico would have a
population of more than 225. 1000, but
| have no hesitation in saying that a
close census would reveal 100000.

Terminals to Be Changed.

The Topeka State Journal has the
authority Of a Santa Fe official for
stating that the Santa Fe will un-
doubleday remove the freight jivis-
ion terminal from Newton to Hutch
inson next spring. Forty acres Of
ground have been bought In East
Hutchinson just west Of the Rock
Island crossing, on which a 2O-stall
round house will be erected this year.
The reasons for the change, which
has been decided upon since the fire
in the Newton round house. are an
insufficient supply of water at New
ton that Is often serious, and chiefly
the necessity Of a division point half
way between Dodge City and Empo-
ria.
Under the present wage schedule,
trainmen are allowed pay on trips for
a minimum distance OF 100 miles.
and all crews from Emporia to New
ton, a distance Of 73 miles, collect
pay for 100 miles. With the division
at Hutchinson, 106 miles from Empo.
ria, the company will obtain the serv-
ices of all crews for about the cost
now paid from Emporia to Newton.
The difference in a year Is almost
sufficient to build the Hutchinson
round house. The change is made for
the same reasons that took the divis-
ion from Coolidge to Syracuse, viz,
to get the service In mileage that the
company Is compelled to pay Its
crews for, at least 100 miles per trip.
Newton will still retain the Oklahoma
division business, but Arkansas City
is to have increased yards, as through
business from east and south will be
routed via I'll Dorado and Florence.

Road Will Be Bought.

The Chicago, Rock Island & Paci-
ic railroad company completed the
deal for fourteen acres OF land at Tu-
cumcari to be used as terminals for
the Choctaw extension from Amarillo,
Texas. The land was bought from A.
ID. GOldenburg, the consideration be-
ing $125 an acre. This makes 1t GER
tain that the Choctaw extension on
which work was suspended some time
ago. will be completed. Tucumcari
is correspondingly happy. for it will
share with Santa Fe, Deming and
Lordsburg, the honor in New Mexico,
of being the terminus of three roads.
Woman Holds the Job.
Miss Agnes Mullen, recently ap-
pointed advertising manager for the
Monon railroad, Is the only woman
in the world holding a similar posi-
ton. She accepted the place without
having previous experience in that
line of business and has astonishei
railroad advertising managers by the
reforms that she has put into prac-
tice. In selecting advertising medi-
ums, Miss Mullen's woman wit has
aided her materially, and as a result
OF her clever work she has had sew
eral f~1attering offers. So says the
Topeka Journal, but it fails to say
what kind of offers the talented lady
has received.
