in any considerable quantity was
made today, some Of 1t going to Las
Vegas. The total shipment OF fruits
and vegetables today from Las Cruces
was valued at about $120, but much
greater quantities will be shipped al
ter this week. Peaches are as fine
as we ever saw them, and early apples
are exceptionally good this year. In
a few days plums and pears will be
rine. and early next month we shall
have cantaloupes. The Las Cruces
cantaloupes are rapidly being recog-
nized as the best and most highly iia'
yorad in tn world, and are far supe'
rior TO the much doomed Rocky Ford
cantaloupes. Be on the lookout foI
them when they get into he Las We

firing the engine ann warm-ra~A~ s
