benefits of the institute will increase
to a still greater degree. AS it is, it
is truly a New Mexico school and as
the population of this Territory is in
creasing steadily, and the good work
and great success of the military in
stitute increases yearly and becomes
better known, the number of cadets
will be augmented as soon as ac-
commodations for them can be had

The location of the institution geogra-
phically is admirable from a climatic
and health standpoint. The only draw
back is that SO far it is not as easily
reached from central New Mexico as
it should be. This will be obviated
within the next ten months with the
completion of the Eastern Railway of
New Mexico now in course of constru
