or New Mexico recorded a SUBJ
stantial progress along all lines
OF industrial interest, and regardless OF
a partial crop failure i'm some few sec
lions OF the territory, because of un-
favorable and unexpected climatic con-
ditions, greatly increased the acreage
under cultivation. The few crop fail
ures recorded were due almost entirely
to the ineXperience of those taking up
land in the socalled dry farming" Sec
tions and falling, for different reasons,
to prepare the soil properly and fol-
low the accepted methods of scientific
farming. Some Of those making fail
ures were unable to work their land for
the want Of funds, while others failed
through ignorance. Those following
the practiced methods of dry farm.
ing generally made good crops. except
where the climatic conditions were ex-
ceptionally bad.
Increasing Wealth
The total assessed valuation Of the
territory increased from $56,4O2,O47 in
1908 to $63,755,0S2 in 1909. 1t is con-
sidered that the average rate of valua-
ton is about 20 percent of the actual
or market value.
During the year 1909 there were no
bank failures in the territory. The
new banking organizations numbered
10.
Immigration Continues
immigration has been constantly
flowing into the territory from the
eastern and southern states. This i'm
migration has spread over that part of
the territory tributary to the lines OF
the lcl Paso & Southwest tern and the
Aaly I11, H..
or the Santa Fee road known as the
Belen cutoff" down the Pecos valley
and far into Texas; on across the ter
ritory into the Mlmbres and Columbus
valleys, and OH into southern Arizona.
The Estancia valley has been drawing
heavily, and naturally all other parts Of
the territory have felt the good effects
OF a rapidly increasing population.
New Towns On Map.
Dozens of new towns have been put
upon the map during the year. and the
majority of those settled within the
past two or three years have progressed
in business importance to point where
municipal organization was considered
necessary, while all Of the new towns
have built school houses and churches.
The year has seen some OF the towns,
such as Clovis grow into cities Of i'm
portance with cement walks water
works, electric lights and all other con-
Venences OF modern cities.
Pumping for Irrigation.
The continued success Of pumping
for irrigation, and the improvements in
pumps and the cheapng of fuels used,
have combined to increase the acreage
of cultivated land. The development of
the pumps used for irrigation, and the
establishing Of the fact OF their opera
tion within a profitable limit, led to
the location of lands out Of the irri-
gated valleys and the discovery Of ex
tensive underflows in many parts OF
the territory. During the year lust
closed hundreds of pumping plants

Tales From The Arabian Nights
THE SECOND VOYAGE
OF SINBAD THE SAILOR

My second voyage proved great
deal more exciting than my first. For
some days all was very peaceful and
quiet One evening we passed close
to an island that was covered with
fair streams and with wonderful
fruits and flowers. We decided to dis
embark for few hours and enjoy
ourselves. |, being OF an exploring
turn Of mind, followed the course OF
one OF the streams. When | return
ed, / found the ship had sailed away
without me. | climbed tall tree and
looked about. At some distance | saw
big white something. | fastened to-
ward it. and found il to be great
white dome, very smooth and shiny.
As was regarding 1t, cloud seemed
to come over the sun and. on look
ing up, I saw a bird of enormous size
flying towards me. Then / remem-
bered that | had often heard of some
strange bird called the roc and |
realized that the dome was its egg.
During the night / tied myself secur-
ly to the leg of the bird, hoping that
next day the roc would carry me away
from this desert island. In the morn
ing my hopes were fulfilled: | was
carried through the air 80 swiftly that
almost lost my senses, and as soon
as found the roc had settled on the
earth I cut myself loose and let my
self roll down a little hill Round
about me were mountains that seem
ed sky-high, and the valley where
found myself was one mass of steep
rocks. AS I walked through the val
ley | discovered that 1t was strewn
with diamonds, some OF them of re-
markable size. | took much pleasure
In picking them up and observing
their lights, until I suddenly noticed
that near to me were many serpents,
each big enough to have swallowed
an elephant. Night was coming on
SO I FASTENED to cave hid myself
therein. and covered the entrance
with large stone. could not sleep
well, however, for the serpents Kissed
about me all the night With day
light they went back into their caves
and | came forth from mine, trem

ever way turned and began picking
up some of the largest of them and
