CITY than ever the original Albuquer-
que would be, moved nearer the rail-
road tracks and depot, and with the
railroad men, and others that had
come with the road, Albuquerque was
founded. In 1885, the new town or
Albuquerque was Incorporated as a
town. with about l.500 inhabitants.
Once past the Village" stage, lts
growth was rapid and in 1891 II was
incorporated as a city, with a popula-
tiOn of 3,7S5. Since that time its
growth has beer phenomenal. Stead
ily IL grew, uni. -JOO IT a mo-
doubled in population, having in ina,
year, 6,23S inhabitants. But the most
wonderful growth and development
has taken place since that date. In
ereasing in population, branching out,
upbuilding and enlarging in every
way, il has gone On and up, not
through the medium of a boom that
might collapse at any moment, 0ut
a steady, natural growth, due entirely
10 its natural advantages and abund-
ant resources. Since 1900 ii has
again doubled in population, the pres
ent year, 1906, finding it with an es-
timated population of $4,000 happy
and prosperous people.
In keeping with the wonderful
growth OF the city, the Albuquerque
Evening Citizen has also grown,
keeping well up with the forward
movement of the city, easily dis
tancing all competitors in the race
for news, enlarging in circulation,
facilities, etc, until II stands today,
