Of diverting the timber from other
parts 0f the state into this city for

How Ia Get 10.
Heretofore have spoken. very

in my address of How Co get it' Of

What ] am about To- s1y as Goo How

but d. seems 90 me that 10 might bc
considered as Il suggestion that has
some merit. Enthusiasm helps. but
does not get very FAR. a. d rule. We
ln New Mexico are unable to finance
any Of the large project that { have
mentioned. Not only are we mo-. able
TO do this, but we don't know hoV
that Is to say, we haven't the men
who understand doing some of the
things TO which ! have referrcd-men
who have been engaged in this ousi-
ness elsewhere. Therefore, j. is Nee
cssary for US not simply to advertise
New Mexico without furnishing data.
but to gather reliable data Cor the
consideration OF people VINO are look-
ing for investments. such a. W be-
lleve might be made In Ncw Mexico.

the work OF the Commercial clubs of
tho state. The several departments
of government a Washington can be-
of great assistance. as al be The iu-
dustriul departments Of the several
railroad systems having lines In New
Mexico. In 1909 our territorial lcgis-
