FINE NEW
MEXICO EXHIBIT
Territory Effectively Re-
presented at Irrigation
Snow at Chicago
SLATE MAKERS ARE BUSY
But No Radical Changes Are An
ticipated Under Governor
Mills.


Governor Curry has received the
following letter commencing the ex.
hibit of New Mexico at the U. S. Land
and Irrigation Exposition held in Chi
cago and at which H. B. Hening, sec
retary of the Bureau of immigration
and D. T. Hosllins of Las Vegas, are
at present representing New Mexico:
Chicago, H., Nov oath, 1909.
My Dea- Governor:
l suppose Mr., Henning has written
you concerning the-exhibit by the New
Mexico bureau of immigration at the
United States Land and Irrigation EX-
position held in this city. l want to
add a few words to any reports you
may have so far received concerning
this exhibit. 1t is one of the most
thoroughly represented exhibits at the
Exposition. 1t is very well located, is
attracting great deal of attention,
and beyond any question of doubt, the
display which is being made, will do a
great deal of good for New Mexico.
Considering the fact that no effort
had been made to get together an ex-
hibit until the first part Of October,
think the showing is a remarkable
one.
The attendance at the Exposition
far exceeds my expectations, and
don't know~of an exposition that has
been held in Chicago since the worlds S
fair that has attracted as much SER
ious attention as the United States
Land and Irrigation Exposition.
1t is to be regretted that there was
not sufficient money raised to provide
more space for the exhibit, and it is
also to be regretted that an earlier
start was not made. but New Mexico
can feel proud of the fact that it has
a much more representative exhibit at
this Exposition, than has many of the
weather and more populous western
commonwealth.
Yours very truly.
II. Ii. NlLSON,
Honorable George Curry,
Governor of New Mexico,
Santa. Fe. New Mexico.
Slate Making.
Naturally, politicians are already
making states for territorial Offices to
be filled by Governor Mills after
March /. next, and also putting some
study into the reassignment of the
judges to the judicial districts made
necessary by the appointment of Judge
Pope to be chief justice and vacancy
tc be filled on the bench. Slate MAX
ers, however, forget, that it is unusual
for a governor to make many official
changes during the legislative interim:
that most of the territorial officials are
appointed with the consent of the leg
islative council and unless very urgent
reasons appear no changes will be
made by Governor Mills for the time
being 1t is understood, however, that
place will be found for District Clerk
Secundino Romero, of Las Vegas, at
present candidate for the t. S. mar
shalship. This place may be the fed
eral or the territorial service. Contrary
to current impression, it is very likely
that Attorney General Frank w.
Clancy will retain his place unless he
is promoted to the bench The report
that Territorial Secretary Nathan
Jaffa intended to resign is also untrue
and vacancies will have to be looked
for elsewhere. There is plenty of time,
however, until the new governor takes
the reins of office and every step taken
by him will be no doubt, carefully con-
sidered
