cally an immigration has come from
the middle west, The proportion OF
foreign Immigration is SO small as to
be unimportant,
The growing correspondence Of the
territorial bureau OF immigration and
the significant demand of railroad
systems, real estate dealers, and land
agencies for literature dealing with
New Mexico indicate conclusively that
interest In lands. both irrigated and
unirrigated. is just now nearing its
climax; and with favorable conditions
during the coming two years the rate
of immigration may be expected to
far outstrip the record OF the past two
Years. particularly IN the irrigated
districts, where the opening of gov
eminent projects is not only reclaim
ing large areas, but Is encouraging
private entorI rise to extensive de-
velopment of irrigated lands,
The correspondence Of the tcrritor-
lal bureau OF immigration bears con
tinual evidence that the territorial
form of government remains a serious
retarding influence in our devc'ap-
ment, and that admission To the
union would result in an immediate
and enormous increase in the rate OF
immigration.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1908-12-14


Even with the inadequate means %
estimate ayailanle it is possible to as
srrt that immigration during the past
telve months exceeds that Of d pre-
yious wear in the history of the terri
tory. not excepting ever the record
breaking year Of 1867. when more
than $4,000 homestead entries were
made and when an available records

not less than $1,000.

a"' an increase OF 20 per cent boo
-pulation over the record of th'
1905 election. although the 1906 vote
did not include a large part oi ne"
population. There is every reason Co
expect the election rcturn Of NoVem

available up to the census Of 1910.
These records, however, show only
that portion of the new population
going 10 the public domain. and are
therefore unsatisfactory. since they do
not indicate the very great increase
in population in the irrigated farm
ing districts.
The total area taken up during the
previous fiscal year was a little more
than 2,50U, 600 acres, so that there
We're made during the two fiscal
years more than 10000 original en-
tries, covering a total of more than
200. 600 acres.
Careful analysis Of the land office
records shows something more than
four-tifths of the total entries to have
been made by people from other
states and territories-new popula-
ton. Co%nseryatiyely, $4,000 of these
entries We're made by immigrants. in
dicating at p conservative estimate an
increase in population from this one
source Of 100, OO0. This includes no
part of the thousands of people who
have gone to build the thriving
towns and villages in the new regions
being developed by the homesteadcrs
This increase in the towns and settle
ments is shown BY the records of the
postoffce department, which, accord
ing to the April Postal Guide, show a
greater increase in new postoffccs in
New Mexico, in proportion to popula-
tfon than i'm any other state or terri
