BOOSTS NEW MEXICO
Pays a Business Visit to the Capital

The Phoenix Gazette says:

ing the fair and represented Otis and
Hough of Cleveland, Ohio, in the
school bond matter. In speaking with
Gazette representative regarding
the success of the fifth Arizona fair
said: 1t was the greatest fair have
ever seen anywhere. The harness
races were not excelled on any track
this year Some of the fastest heats
were paced and all the races were of
high class. Not only that but the
track presented three of the greatest
horses in the world, Dan Patch, Min
or Heir and Copa de Ora, each Of
which made sensational time. | have
followed the southwestern fairs this
year and speak with the comparisons
in mind
We had a great fair at Albuquer-
que. In exhibits we excelled for we
have greater capacity ana greater ag,
ricultural production but none OF
these fast horses came our way which
the Arizona fair was able to secure.
Arizona has reason to be proud of this
institution
Concerning his own Territory Mr..
Stafford said that New Mexico is pros
porous and its Industries are expand
ing. Recently a big $50, 900 mining
sale was consummated in the Silver
City district and in all regions devel-
opment is progressing rapidly. AS
many as thirty or forty irrigation pro-
jects covering from 500 acres up to
100000 acres each are being COM
pleted and undertaken which will
bring the amount of cultivated lands
inthe Territory to several times that
farmed few years ago. Under the
Elephant Butte project conditions are
on substantial basis and some ranch
ers are netting $400 per acre annual
ly Three hundred cars of apples will
be shipped out of the Pecos valley
this year. Nine car load was exhiD-
tied at the Albuquerque fair and 9TH
er products in proportion to their i'm
portance.
Nearly all these new irrigation pro-
jects are being undertaken by private
capital and under the district irriga-
ton and Carey laws passed by the
last legislature Another thing to
which Mr.. Stafford pointed with pride
was the fact that New Mexico has had
no defaleations and the record on that
score is, clean, Mr.. Stafford believes
that the wishes of the organization
respecting the gubernatorial appoint
ment will be respected by the admin
istration. He is very hopeful of state
hood by February and does not think
the action of Judge Fall will affect
the cause in the least.

ton was given out as to the candidate
discussed for the place Mr.. Luna
said that he himself had absolutely
no idea who the successful candidate
would be.
Reverting to other matters, Mr..
Luna said;
We have every hope out in our
country that New Mexico will be ad-
mitted to statehood the coming ses-
sion of Congress.
New Mexico is a Republican ter
ritory, as is amply shown by the ccm-
plexion of our legislature, which is
overwhelmingly Republican. Both
the Republican as well as the Demo-
cratic party have embodied the adj
mission of New Mexico to statehood
in their respective platforms and
there is no good reason why New Mex
leo should not come into our own
at this session.
I'VE have school houses, we have
splendid roads and population as well
as wealth to entit1e us to statehood,
THE tax valuation of New Mexico
is between $300,000,000 and $400,000,-
900, and for this reason it should be
left to us to provide for the future
of the Territory and elect our new
officers"

al Hitchcock, Mr.. Luna and Judge
Abbott this afternoon visited the
White House, where they discussed

Among these who have been prom
inently mentioned for this place is A.
L. LaWshe, third assistant postmaster
general. who has taken up his resi-
dence permanently at Mesilla Park
New Mexico.
1t is understood here that President
Taft would not be avelse to appointing
A. l.. Lawshe to be Governor of New
Mexico and that the latter would ac-
cept the place. 1t is also reported
that the administration would not OBJ
ject to a compromise by which Nathan
Jaffa, the present secretary, would be
