FL .PASO'S EXAMPLE FURNISHES
ENCOURA AGfMENT FOR LAS VEGAS

Il hadn't been in El PasO for ter
years and could not believe the evi
dence Of my own eyes when ! drove
over the city. The growth Seems
miraculous. Ef Paso is now as flint
city Of 25,OoO Inhabitants as car
be found in the nation. 1t has biz
business blocks, handsome residences
thriving industries and a united, pro
gressive and contented people wht
are prospering financially.
II found a well defined sentiment
In Ell Paso that Las Vegas was thu
next city Of the southwest to make
rapid advancement. The people there
are interested in our sanitarium, II
the Phelps-D Dodge railroad, which
they are confident will Ire built, In
the proposed reservoir. and they have
heard Of the manner In which we are
now advertising the city. More thar
one man said to me: 7 have been
watching Las Vegas with view tc
investments and just as soon as you
get some Of your projects beyond the
doubtful stage, you will see me up
there to spend some money
II have observed with the greatest
satisfaction the growth in this city
Of a progressive, united earnest Las
Vegas spirit. II means great things
for the city. Eel Paso's example is an
encouragement to us TO keep on boost
ing. As II has gotten things by going
after them, so we, can. We have the
climate, the natural advantages and
now our people are united as never
before upon an enthusiastic program
which has for its object the advance
ment Of Las Vegas and all her inter
ests. BY all means let MS keep on
boosting. Our outlook was never be.
fore SO rosy, and we never before had
as much Las Vegas spirit"

Of the city buried their differences,

class OF industrial leaders, manufacturers,
merchants and traders who support NUM-

municipal ownership and in agitating in
favor Of company interests. While they

President Hunt, having appointed John H.

And we do not think that Mir. Page and his associ- ates on the committee, Mike Nugent and Benjam Downs, will stand for any raids.
