Bring them Along

H, B. Hening, secretary of the
bureau of immigration, was here
a few days this week on immi-
grafton business. Mr.. Hening
recently returned from Chicago
where he has been on immigra-
ton business. While in Chicago
he succeeded in interesting a
colony of Swedes in this territory
and is looking for a suitable To-
cation for the colony.
If a sufficient acreage can be
obtained in the Estancia Valley
it is probable that the colony will
settle there, but if a suitable To-
cation cannot be had there the
colonists will likely locate in
northern Eddy county.
Mr.. Hening believes that the
immigration to the territory will
be large this year and that there
will be a demand for every acre
of irrigable land in the territory
Land men in the east are taking
a more lively interest in the ter
ritory than ever before and, all
things considered, the outlook
for a largely increased population
in the territory before the end
of the year is bright. Eagle,

OF a receiver for the New Mexico

tancia as harbinger of new
era in things connected with the

berod that only about twelve
years ago the Atchison, Topeka

hands Of arcceiver, which proved
the commencement of the up
building of that road. Some
were of the opinion that the road
would soon pass into the hands
Of ore of the older and stronger
systems, while others were in
.elined to believe that with the
business on a firm footing the
road would atonce begin to build

'cannot be gainsaid that the re-
lceivership will prove a blessing
TO the great Estancia Valley,
which is the principal thing in
the end.

pointed receiver; H. A. Conner,

PROPOSED THROUGH CONGRESS SIGNAL AID FOR THls CITY
 BY LITTLE JED"
To Be Operated Under the supervis- ion of the Interior Department,
 Which Controls Reser-

There are about ten eleemosynary institutions in Hot Springs for the care of the indigent sick. They have been bravely carried on in spite of many obstacles for years. Few of us know the demands or have had these demaids brought to our eyes.
 Few of us know that the police have endeavored to assist in caring for the people, and still fewer of us know what has been the enormity of suffer ing that has been witnessed. Yet in spite of the best efforts of all men and women have died in the city jail for lack of proper medical and hospi- tai care, for how cai such an enor- nsous number of poor people who come to Hot Springs be cared for properly by unorganized efforts or without an institution at which they may be examined, classified and treat ed by systematic routine.
 The Little Jed" Funds mission has been 10 investigate the necessity for organized work. Thirty days of in- yestigation shows as follows
 First, that there is a great demand 1 for help from outside sources, the townspeople can i'll afford to look af- | ter the~ own sick and poor, but they have through the Sunshine Home and Barry hospital, the House of the Good l Shepherd, the Crittenden Home. the Home for Foundlings and the Mrs. Lea Home, done great deal of good i! for indigent visitors
 Second. the effort of the Little Jed" fund shows that when appealed to the good people who have visited Hot Springs are awake 10 the neces sity and respond promptly and cheer fully to any call
 Third. the effect of this fund shows further that it can grow to such pro portions that it will demand officers of special duty to perform the work in seeing to proper distribution of the moneys. and proper care for u ob iects of the moneys.
 Fourth, it shows that if appealed to there is scarcely a congressmai who will not favor an appropriation for a retreat to be built and managed by the interior department TOT this work
 Personal begging is now necessary but it is unfair and distasteful to the few who beg or receive. Organized charity will be borne by all with pleasure. profit and glory for all.
