BEGIN THE YEAR WITH
BRIGHT PROSPECT
New Mexico Was Less AT Cted
by Panic Than Many OlOo,

Is Coming to
the Front.

The biennial report of Secretary Of
the Territory Nathan Jaffa to Govern
or Curry, shows the population of
New Mexico at the close of 1908 to
be in excess of 100000. Concerning
the population, the secretary says:
I'm 1908 New Mexico had a total
registered vote of $500 as shown by
the official registration books. This
would clearly indicate that at the
ratio of five persons to each voter we
have within the boundaries of our ter
rit0ry at least 42S,045 inhabitants.
This ratio of to 1 is very conserva-
tive as most states in the union base
their population at to l. These fig
ures do not include $4,000 Indians,
who are not entitled to vote, and
which, if added to the 42S,045 above,
would show grand total of asa ,045.
eliminating the Indians, the coun-
ties, according to these figures, would
range in population as follows:

1T will thus be seen that the great
bulk of New MeXico's population is
still to be found in the Rio Grande
and central counties, although the
eastern counties, covered by Union,
Quay, Roosevelt Chaves and Eddy
have .been steadily increasing, having
today practically one-fourth of the
entire population of the territory"
No Frauds Reported.
The result of the election for dele
gate to Congress is given by Mr.. Jaffa
as follows: w. Il. Andrews, 27,606;
o. a. Larrazolo, 27.217; w. p Met
calf, 1.056. A plurality of 3SS for Mr..
Andrews. Speaking 1f the election,
Mr.. Jaffa says;
Despite the unfounded rumors
that were circulated prior to the cleo
tion that frauds were being attempted
in different parts of the territory,
there has not been a single complaint
from any one of the Sc precincts that
any illegal voting or election frauds
were attempted or. perpretrated at
this election. Taking everything into
consideration, l doubt if any previous
election held in this territory was
more honestly or fairly conducted,
source would seem to bear out this
statement.
II heartily endorse the recon-
mendations of my predecessors in Of
flee with relation to the canvassing
of the official returns for members
of the legislature, who are candidates
In districts comprising more than one
county, and recommend that legsa-
til,
satisfactory in arriving at complete
and accurate return. ! also wish to
concur i'm the recommendation for a
more simplified poll book. The one
now in use is too complicated and re-
suits in incomplete and inaccurate
returns at times"
Regarding Corporations.
Mr.. Jaffa's report shows that SIS
corporations were either organized in
New Mexico or given authority to do
business in this territory during the
year or these, Az were domestic
and three foreign. These represent
a capitalization Of $233, 5O4, 500 Nine
teen foreign fraternal societies have
entered the territory in two years.
While New Mexico suffered more
or less from the financial panic in the
tall of 1907, Mr.. jana points out that
the territory Jared much better than
some other commonwealths because
there were no bank failures or serious
embarrassment Of any business in the
territory.
But public confidence has been re-
stored" he says, money that has
been lying idle is being put to use
and prosperity is once more In eyi-
dence.
