the same Is true at the south. Both
Of these sections are as optimistic, u

these conditions during 1906. There Is
scarcely any possibility of q reaction

upon the crops: and yet II these were

the effect would not be injurious
upon the. west provided good prices

THE RclAL CLUE.

In the memorial address by the Al
buqueraue COMMERCIAL club to con
gress regarding the statehood matter,
The membership Of the organization
was represented at 200, This means
that Las Vegas has a numerically
stronger club than Albuquerque. How
| ever, the entrance fee 10 the Albu-
querdue club for a voting member Is
$50. and the dues are $500 a month,
Financially, therefore. the Albuquer-
que organization Is. probably. strong
or, although II appears likely that
the expense keeps out a great many
desirable members.
The Las Vegas Commercial club
has every promise OF further growth
and OF increasing usefulness In the
community. The organization has
already In hand. In connection with
the county commissioners, the mat.
ter OF the repair OF the Mora road.
IL IL keeping In close touch with
the government reservoir and with
the sanitarium project. II Ia just
now engaged In preparing a club d.
rectory. which shall include the INT
and businesses Of It's members. and a
write.up OF the city and county. for
distribution among thousands who
are. making Inquiries concerning this
section.
The club. has adopted q policy Of
standing by IT'S members under all
possible circumstances. Of trying to
advance their business and Individual
interests. az we'll al to contribute to
their social pleasure.
The social evenings Of the club
are growing each month more popular,
and the regular attendance upon the
rooms 10 growing larger. It appears
likely that some Of the members Of
the club may have not noted that the
bylaws forbid the invitation Of any
gentleman to the club who IL a resi-
dent Of the city. For the friends Of
members who are not residents. visit
Ing cards will always be gladly fur
nished by the secretary. and members
are requested to invite their out-of.
town friends to accompany them per.
s0nally to the club whenever occa.
sion offers.
The third Thursday Of each month
Is set apart as a date for the invitation
OF ladies to the club, and 1t Is pro-
posed to make this attractive club
feature every month more popular.
In addition to the regular monthly
smoker. It Is proposed to give an oc-
.casional musicale for the benefit Of
the members Of the club.
The club directorate mas defined
its policy towards the. public. While
the organization exists for the pur-
pose Of beneAting and building up
Las Vegas. II Is felt that this work
must be accomplished. as far as pos
sible, through the membership. In
order to make the club as strong and
as much Of an aid to the community
an It should be It must include all
the important business interests. II
all these interests can be working In
and through this organization a great
deal Of good IL bound to result. And
the Las Vegas Club has almost achiev-
ed that desired end. The business
Of weight in the community who
do not belong to the Commercial
club are very few, and It Is likely
that these viii all come in within a
short time.
