albuquerque, June 20, 1910. EDI-
T9R GRAPHIC: In November. 1909,
there was held in the Coliseum, Chi
cago, the first annral United States
and and Irrigation Exposition, un-
III the auspices Of the Chicago Tri-
hune. This exposition was unique
IN every particular. 1t was wholly
Without amusement features and
consisted entirely of exhibits of the
products of lands; such exhibits be-
Ing gathered from every section of
the United States, but particlarly
from the west. The exposition was
Undertaken because Of the recogni-
ton by the managers of the Tribune.
Of the great land hunger" which
now has such a firm hold on the
people Of the more crowded sections
Of the country and which is sending
thousands of people into the west
each month, in search of homes.
Moro than 100000 people attended
this exposition, the majority of
hem coming from the crowded
central and northern states. A
large majority of them We're per-
sons actively interested in lands
with view to purchase and set
tlement.
AT the last moment il was thought
wise that New Mexico have an ex-
hlbit at this exposition. There be-
ms no other organization able tn
undertake it, the matter was taken
up by the Bureau of immigration.
In spite of our delayed start and
the fact that the best of our products
had been marketed or disposed of,
We were able, by the active aid of
q few districts and individuals, to
mise small fund and place there
an exhibit which attracted very IA
vorable attention and produced some
excellent results, both in the way of
Effective publicity and in actual i'm
migration to New Mexico of n very
nesirable class of people.
1t has been decided TO repeat the
exposition in November, 1910. 1t
will again be held in the Coliseum
and under the auspices of Tribune,
and will be on a much larger and
more effective scale than last year
From the far-reaching publicity be
Ing given il not less than 500, 0,OOC
attendance may be counted on. ant
because of the success of last years
Exposition, this attendance will b,
Of even more desirable class
Every western state will be repre-
sented there and it is vitality import
ant that New Mexico's representa-
tion be the equal or the superior OF
any other state display.
The Bureau Of Immigration ha
again undertaken to put on. thi
display.
II this display is to be on tn
effective scale that II should be, W
must have the active cooperation o
every district in New Mexico. Las
year we started too late to ge
effective action. This year we ar
starting in time. The Bureau q
immigration has begun preparatio
of a permanent New Mexico exhil
Il in its offices at Albuquerque an
this will he available for the expos
ton this fall. But II is necessar
that we supplement this with di'
plays of fruits, grain and product
both in glass and fresh, of ever
district in New Mexico. In this v
desire the active support OF you
self and your district. You al
urged tn take this matter up WI
your commercial organization, vii
! your fellow business men, WI
your farmers and fruit growers,
the end that each district may
ready in the fall with carefully $
lected exhibits of all typical pr
ducts.
