Territory, at the Willard last night
NO one who is not familiar with The
conditions prevailing In New Mexico
can appreciate the great strides that
we have made In the last twenty
months. In that time $4,000 home
steaders have taken up claims and As
banks have been established. That
there has not been a single failure In
the Territory we think Is good evil
dence of the solid condition of our
finances.
I'VE have now 100000 population,
and by the time the Congressional
committee reaches onr boundaries
there will be 100000. This seems an
eXtrayagant statement. perhaps, but
If the people continue to pour in as
they are at this time, we shall easily
reach that figure. They are coming
into the Territory from all over the
country, but principally from the
neighboring states of Iowa. Kansas,

LANDS COMMITTEE
Governor Curry and Other New Mexi.
cans Are Granted Three Hours
Hearing.

Washington, Feb. Ex-Governor
Curry and the New Mexico delegation
now here, had three hours discussion
with the committee on public lands
Monday, on the very important ques-
tion, to the territory of New Mexico.
Of the lieu lands. and other important
land matters. Governor Curry was
compelled to break his established
rule. When he made speech for
statehood before the committee on
territories, he started by saying that
he never made speech more than
ten minutes In his life; but he broke
his rule then and he was before the
committee for more than an hour on
Monday He acquitted himself very
creditably and to the entire satisfac.
| tion Of the whole New Mexico delega-
tlon present
Attorney e. w. Dobson followed the
governor and gave the situation in a
clear, positive and convincing man
ner. President w. S. Hopewell, of
the Irrigation Congress, also made a
speech, and he informed The commit.
tee plainly that he had been the
greatest "kicker' of the whole bunch.
He maintained his composure though
It was evident to his friends that 1t
required some little effort.
Fl. w. Kelly of Las Vegas. gave his
testimony as lumber expert. He said
he had a small patch of timber land,
but that he was no lumber "baron"
nor even "multi-millionaire." He
said they had to watch the corners
closely not to lose any money in their
business. His happy comparison, that
a tree like an apple, should be utilized
when ripe, and before decay, was rel
ished, as we'll as could be, without the
presence of the apple.
Solomon Luna, H. O. Bursum and
others also made remarks and gave
accurate and valuable information to
the committee. The proceedings oc-
cupied nearly three hours and no one
seemed tired or weary; and to the
credit of all the committee; their sole
wish appeared to be to learn what
was the very best for the people of
New Mexico; and with due regard
for the interests of the United States.
Governor Curry and the members of
the delegation were much pleased with
the kind reception accorded them and
the results they believed were accom-
plished.

The foregoing statement was made
today by Travelling Auditor Charles

know what he is talking about. Mr..
Stafford has just returned to the city
after trip to the southern part of

stringency began last fall he has been
very active especially in examining
New Mexico banks operating under

larger cash reserves on hand at pres
