HOW TO BOOM.
Th people of tins age arc clammor
ous t know of otlior countries than the
land in which they live. Regulated by
the law of supply and demand there are
volumes and volumes of travels, con
taining descriptions of reaches of coun
try, bits of landscape and pictures of
valleys, hills and mountains. Not alone
is the reading public content with such
galleries in black and white, but they
must have matter of fact data, estimat
ed or tabular statements of the yield of
the product of the soil, fruits, increase
of stock ami the general characteristics
of the people, who husband them, and
the business habits and methodsof those
who traflic in them. This is an intense
ly business age and men of business at
tach the greatest importance, to such
magazine articles or volumes of travels
as present, besides an artist aspect of a
country ..a consideration of that section
In a commercial sense, showing the ail
vantages for traflic. The avenues of
trade are continually being broadened
and lengthened ; there are hundreds who
remove their operations from the scene
of conservative transactions and specu
lations to other regions where there arc
risks to be run but where the outcome
from investment and trade may be
great, liy such a class, articles of this
kind are as eagerly read as are those
that have to do with places of resort
for invalids, and sanitariums wherein
are ra3's of hope that the condition of
the infirm and atllicted may be perform
ed by the venturesome, who court the
excitement of new lands and contact
with st range people, else by explorers to
whom there is a glamor in new expert
enees and researches. This is when
the country is new and unexplored, and
then on the impulse of the moment and
a realization that a new El Dorado has
been discovered, capital and enterprise
courses through new channels and trad
ing is begun. But after the novelty has
worn oil', this trade is controlled by the
few heavy operators who are attracted
to the field when the first discovery of
the country, in a commercial sense is
made. A few small traders act asfeed
ers to the larger firms, but there is no
general business activity. Years may
elapse before this is brought about, one
by one the,number of houses transact
ing business increase till trade cen
tres arc established.
This has leen the history of New
Mexico, with this modification, that
since the advent of the A. T. & S. F. It.
K. emigration has been diverted to
tho Territory. Hut still millions
of acres of arable land remain
untitled and vast tracts of rich grazing
lands are only dotted here and there by
roving flocks and herds, a small pro
portion of the number of head of stock
that the Territory is capable of sup
porting. The fault is partly due to the
people, who are actuated by a selfish
motivo in that while they are prosper
ous they do not enlighten the people of
the neighborhoods in which they for
merly lived. But mainly is it the fault
of the press. The majority of articles
having to do with the resources and
grand possibilities of the Territory that
appear in the journals of New Mexico
are the work of foreign journalists who
make a vacation tour through our Tor
ritory. We should originate more, we
should all Jill our papers with articles
descriptive 'of the country. It is not
enough that day after day and from
week to week, the Territorial papers
one and all repeat the formula "we are
booming," "no such activity was ever
seen before11 as the record of the
growth of a section or town. This is all
very well as a conclusion to bn arrived
at, a Q. E. D. "which was to be
proved.11 We must do something for
ourselves, till from our clamor, ourcon
tinued, concerted action and recital of
the advantages of the country and op
portunities for trade, we excite the in
terest of the people, or draw within our
borders travelers, political economists
and specialists who examine into tour
resources and report on them to others.
But there is one way that Ave may be
assisted, and that is by securing the at
tention of travelers of celebrity, who
will in turn give the public the benefit
of their observations. There are trav
elers who have in the past interested,
edified and instructed thereadingworld
to such a degree that their name ap
pended to an article is a sufficient guar
antee that it will be read with interest.
It is fortunate for a Nation, State or
Territory to be visited by a man of that
.'tamp. New Mexico has not been fa
vored very greatly in this way, but she
is honored now. Mr. Paul B. Du Chaillü,
the distinguished African traveller is
now in Colfax county, and will spend
the greater portion of a three months'
vacation, before he is celled back to his
literary work in the preparation for the
press of one of his seven books of
travel that he has in hand, in New
Mexico. We are honored by the visit
of such a distinguished gentleman anil
traveler, and we are certain
to reap a rich harvest from
what he shall write concerning New
Mexico. The seven volumes of travel
that he has published are standard
works, and the public will never tire of
reading what he has to say. His last
work, the "Land of the Midnight Sim11
that will be published in America by
Harper Bros, in October, giving an ac
count of his travels and explorations in
Sweden, Norway, Finland and Lap
land. It is more than a compliment
that the work will be published simul
taneously in seven countries and in six
languages. The publishing business in
this day of sharp competition and many
books is cautiously prosecuted and pub
lishers are careful about taking hold of
a work, therefore it U an evidence of
Mr. l)u Chaillu s acknowledged rank as
a traveler and his competence to make
reliable research that he. has found for
his new work publishers of high stand
ing in the United States, England,
France, Germany," Denmark, Sweden
and Norway. He is in New Mexico to
examine our Territory critically, and
the result of that examination will fur
nish material for a series of articles in
Harper1 Magazine, and let us hope, for
a book on New Mexico.
No matter how gifted one may be in
word painting, or enthused he may be
come by admiring a beautiful region of
country, the half can never be told in
print. What is needed to give the
people of America and other countries
any adequate idea of the beauty of New
Mexico must be by the means of pic
tures; sketches, painting and photo
graphic views. Accompanying Mr.
Du Chaillu is Mr. Hasse Bergman a
celebrated Swedish artist, who has re
sided in this country eleven years, in
which time he has assumed a high rank.
For the past few years he has been in
Florida where he has led the life of an
artist. He has just received in Cimar
ron his photographic apparatus, the
finest ever sent west of the Mississippi
river (except to California). He will lit
up a traveling studio and visit the dif
ferent points of interest with Mr. Du
Chaillu and take many views. He is a
skillful photographer and his artist eye
will cause him to seize on the grandest
and most artistic points of observation.
There is no estimating the amount of
good that he will be able to do this
country by his photographic views, and
he will also make not a few sketches,
and paint several pictures after his
travels are ended.
For all kinds of California produce,
such as new potatoes, oranges, apricots,
plums, apples and peaches send to E.
