The proposition to establish an in
dependent commission house at the
head of the lakes for the special use
of North Dakota grain shippers, and
to provide elevator and storage room
for such a business, Is again revived.
A meeting was held at Fargo COM
prising about fifty independent grain
dealers and farmers of the state, and
it is proposed to incorporate as soon
as stock to the amount of $4,000 has
been subscribed. The money to be
raised is to start the business going
and it is expected that an Independent
elevator handling the grain shipped by
independent shippers to an independ-
ent commission firm, will soon become
a thriving business and profitable to
grain shippers of this state. The pro-
ject has been proposed and attempts
made to put the same into execution
forseen obstacles have prevented its
being brought about Yet it's advant-

proposition will not down.-James-

THE PROPORTION or THE
RACES IN NEW MEvico.

Santa Fe New Mexican.
/ The annua report OF the superin-
.tendent of public instruction throws
some light upon the inthresting ques-
ton of the proportion of the races in
New Mexico. On january 18th, 1908,
according to the report there were
enrolled in the rural schools 16, 39y
English speaking and 12l2O4 Spanish
speaking children, and in the cities,
S,497 English speaking and 2,780
Spanish speaking pupils. In other
words, out of a total enrolment or
almost 10000, about 24,0O0 were Eng
fish speaking and 16, 900 Spanish
speaking. OF course under Spanish
speaking pupils are classed the chill
dren of native ~parentage of Spanish
Or Mexican descent and not merely
children unable to speak English.
These figures would Indicate that the
native people are in the minority in
New Mexico today, were it not for
the fact that these figures do not &C
count for the $4,000 persons of hi
age, who were not enrolled in the
schools at the time, and the suppo-
sition is strong that the great majori-
Ity of these were Spanish speaking,
for the report says that IN January
Is, there were 206 of TAO rural dis
tricts that were not holding school
and it is in those rural districts where
the Spanish speaking element is the
stronger. 1t can be set for certain
therefore, that the two races are a.
bout equally divided, but that the pro-
cess of ~amalgamation is going on as
rapidly as in the immigration of new
blood. However, the figures of the
school census, seem to indicate that
estimates of New MeXico's %populat-
ion recently made have been too high
and that the present population OF
the territory does not exceed 300, 900
II it reaches that figure.

LARRAZOLO CONFIDENT OF
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

"I believe the Democratic chances
for success in the national campaign
are better than AVE ever existed
since the election of Cleveland in
1892" said Hon. A. o. Larrazolo on
Tuesday al Albuquerque, speaking to
a Journal reporter. Mr.. Larrazolo
left that night for Old Mexico on a
business trip previous to opening his
campaign. He takes a rosy view OF
the situation both nationally and ter
ritorially.
1.-The money question divided the
party in 1885," said Mr.. Larrazolo,
land that division has continued until
the present time. 1t has materially
weakened the party nationally and
made success practically impossible
in the past. Now for the first time
the Democratic party Is solidly and
compactly united. This will assure
Mr.. Bryan the united Democratic vote
of the country. In addition, a very
large element which has heretofore
voted the Republican ticket will rally
to the support of the Nebraskan this
year.
The recent financial panic has
brought about the closing of many
of the great manufactures of the
East. According to my Information,
those which are now in operation are
working only about fifty per cent OF
their regular force, and that only two
or three days out of the week. The
people Of this country, in my firm
opinion, cannot see their way clear
to absolve the Republican party from
the responsibility for present f1nan-
cial and Industrial conditions. As a
mere measure of self protection they
Will cast their votes this yea for the
Democratic candidates.
There Is still another element that
adds strength to the Democracy this
campaign. William H. Taft was Sc
lected as the presidential nominee OF
h Republican party not through the
will of The great body of the party
but through the influence Of Theodore
Roosevelt. The President dictated
that he should be the standard bear.
er. Add to all these facts the fact
that Bryan is the avowed and recog-

New Mexico sunmer Resorts.

Albuquerque Journal.
With each passing summer season
comes a vast increase in The popular
ity of New Mexico's summer escorts;
a vast increase in the number of peo-
pie who no longer find it necessary
to take long, hot trips through unin-
tereSting lands to reach the seashore
and the lakes.
The present season sees more New
Mexicans enjoying themselves at New
Mexico resorts than ever before. The
woods are full Of pleasure seekers;
campers, kodakers, hunters, fisher
men and horseback parties. Here and
there a MOTEL especially built for sum
mer people is springing up. Those
with established reputation n pat
ronage are filled to Overlooking.
There is a reason for this. New
Mexico presents every possibility OF
the mountain ESQ to be. found in
the world. The scenery is magnificent
beyond compare. The pines are as
majestic INC their odo as invigor-
ating as any to be found in the Maine
woods. The summer climate is as
nearly ideal, in these mountain re-
gions as the heart Of man can desire.
There is no mountain more
attractive than that in the region of
SIoudSA L III LIZ SouLdJ VI Lit uppSl
Pecos river in the north; there are
no mineral springs Offering greater
possibilities of development thar
those in the Jemez mountains. New
Mexico has the making of almost ev-
cry type of summer resort, save OF
course for the sea. It has in addition
the vast advantage of a considerable
range of attitudes n in them all a
summer temperature never exhaust
ingly hot by day nor dangerously
damp and cold by night. 1t seems an
entirely safe prophecy that within
ten years more people will be coming
to New Mexico summer resorts from
the sea coast states east and west,
mai go to the sea shores from New
Mexico.

nized candidate, not of any faction.
but of the mass of the Democratic
voters of h country, and 1t is easy
to see that he has a decided advan-
tage over his opponent. Therefore
/ eHe that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected President, not only by a SUBJ
stantial majority, but by what Is COM
monty termed a regular landslide.
"As to Territorial conditions" said
Mr.. LarraZolo, Il would rather not
have a great deal to say at present.
1 am the candidate of my party for
the highest office in its gift in this
Territory. My judgment may be bias
ed by the interest I eel in the ultt-
mate result. Suffice it to say that l
feel confident hat the expression OF
the wishes of the people of the terri
tory at the last election, when / was
elected by q substantial majority,
will ibe emphasized at the polls in
November by a largely increased ma
iority for the head of the Democratic
ticket. This will be the case, not only
on account of the popular resentment
against the action of the opposition
in defeating the will of the people by
questionable means, but because L
believe the old residents of the terri
tory are honestly anxious and desir-
Gus to see a change in the admins
tration.
Add to this the recognized fact
that there has been a large influx OF
population into the territory in the
past two years, t~hreetourths OF which
Is Democratic, n the irresistible
conclusion is hat our party will win
at h polls in the next election"
