Journal, Writes Jim Carroll.
The Morning Journal fully appreciates the following letter received
from "Jim" Carroll, formerly with
the Santa Fe here, now with the Canadian Pacific railway in the northwest:
White River, March 20, 1911.
Albuquerque Morning Journal, Albuquerque, N. M.
Dear Friend Dan--The Morning
Journal arrives every day and it is a
welcome visitor. I am also pleased to
see things progressing so nicely in
Albuquerque and things in general in
the southwest, that is bound to be a
great country, more especially since
the government is helping you out in
your irrigation work. The Elephant
Butte dam will certainly be a great
thing for the Rio Grande valley. I
have often thought that if some of
the people that are going into the Canadian west knew of the natural resources of New Mexico there would
not be so many of them going to the
northwest, though this is the making
of a great country, but there is one
thing they need in western Canada,
is a few papers like the Morning
Journal, that will put more life in
the Boosters.
With kindest regards to the Albuquerque boosters, I remain,
Yours truly,
J. A. CARROLL.
