The state exhibit hall to be locat.

company for the use of all towns
and sections of New Mexico in
which to display their products Is
assured.
The outline Of this plan was pub
.lished a week ago in the Morning
News, being an interview with DR..
+. N. Brown, the Roswell booster,
who has been working quietly with
territorial officials and boosters
from other sections,
J. Brinker, general passenger and
freight agent for this division of the
Santa Fe railway company, when
asked concerning the plan when he
was in the city few days ago. was
enthusiastic over the plan and gave
assurance that the Santa Fe would
get right back of it,
j. s. Kirby, secretary of the Ros-
well Commercial club, is receiving a
great many warm letters favoring
the plan, and assuring him that
their communities will be in for its
success.
One of the most interesting re-
plies he has received is from H. o.
Bursum, the late Republican candi.
date for governor. The reply is a
carbon copy he has forwarded to
albuquerque and Santa Fe papers,
and is as follows:
i notice that a movement has
been started towards obtaining n
permanent exhibit hall to be located
near the Alvarado Hotel at Albu-
querque on the Santa Fe railroad
property for the purpose of main
taining a permanent hall for hort
cultural and agricultural display as
a means of advertising the resources
of the state of New Mexico. the
building to be built by the Santa Fe
railroad company. take it that
the proposition would naturally come
under the management of the Bu-
reau Of immigration.
THE horticultural and a2ricul-
tural interests of this great state of
ours are destined to become one of
the chief industries. 1t is produc-
ton from the soil from whence
comes all wealth; 1t is the encourage
ment of the tiling of the soil that
will make prices for home-seekers
and investors and will do more than
any one agency towards building up
this great state.
This suggestion which is given
through the secretary of the Ros-
well Commercial Club, Mr. j. :.
Kirby and also the endorsement of
Mr.. Hening seems to be one that
is well worthy Of the greatest pos
stable encouragement from citizens
throughout the state. 1t will bene'
fiji every county within the state
and will do more towards showing
to the world what New Mexico's
soil is capable of than millions OF
pamphlets. 1t will make possible
the display of our products which
will be seen by tourists coming from
the east, the west, the north and
the south and It is only necessary
for people who are interested II
these matters to personally witness
a real, actual demonstration of ou'
products to convince home-seekeI
or investor that New Mexico's sol
has no superior and few equals II
any portion Of the Union.
| sincerely hope that the newspa
pers will devote a portion OF TN
valuable space towards boostini
tbs project along and when the!
are doing so they will be planting
additional trees in behalf of create
