Show The Drawback New Mexiea. . Washington November 18. Governor Edmund C. Ross of New Mexico, in his annual report, dwells upon the fact that immigration into the Territory is restricted by the fear as to the validity of the land titles there. He recites how the Spanish and Mexican grants have been made to cover grants vastly larger than was originally intended, in-tended, and that great quantities of land have been fraudulently entered through forgery and perjury.' He recommends Congress Con-gress to appoint a commission to quiet the titles. The Indian troubles of the Territory are treated at length. |
