Yes. I am obliged to the gentleman for the suggestion. We have an immigration bureau in New Mexico. which receives letters and inquiries coming from all over the United Statesfrown as far east as the Atlantic coast. from the congested sections in the manufacturing districts in the East. as well as those westwardly and throughout the Mississippi Valley. You would be astonished at the number of people who are inquiring as to the possibility of getting homes in New Mexico. what the land laws are. how dry farming is succeeding. and so on. Now. there are other points in which this law should be amended. which other changes. when the powerful Congressmen from the States farther east come to know them as we know them. will be certainly in behalf of honest homesteaders and not in the interest of speculators and the great corporations.
