)ecial to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Las Cruces, June 25.-The Rio
Grande Valley is gradualy coming to
the front in many ways. Commercial
ly it now ranks with any spot in the
great Southwest. Opportunities for
young men with push and a little
foresight are numerous.
There was fine rain here last
week which has put smiles and good
nature upon all the cattle men, and
while it did some harm to the alfalfa
men, that is those who had cut their
hay and had 1t on the ground at the
time of the rain, it really meant a
great deal to them in general.
Energetic steps have been taken to-
wards the incorporation of Las Cru
ces as a village or town, and those
who are in favor Of it, are confident
of success. The corporate limits in
clude four square miles Of territory
and take in most of the residences OF
those who are called towns people. In.
corporation will increase the value OF
town property one hundred per cent.
The Fourth of July will be quiet
one in Las Cruces, but Organ City
is planning big time. Base ball
games, roping contests, drilling con
tests BY the miners, fireworks and
grand finale in the form of barbe'
cue. Las Cruces will attend en- masse
and the day promises to be one OF
great moment in this section Of the
Land Of Sunshine.

Comments on Broken Mirror Much

There was a cigar store opened up
town the other night, and as the build
ing was not provided with steam heat
a gas radiator was supplied, says the
New York Press. Three hours later
a huge plate mirror directly behind
was cracked from top to bottom by
the unequal expansion in a tight
frame.

Several oHieikls Didn't Know What
They Are Intended fer.

II you came into possession OF awe

do with It? The five dollar stamp Is
the highest denomination the govern
ment manufactures. They are on sale
at all frst-class post ofiices, says the
Kansas City Star.
Harry Harris, treasurer OF the posi-
once, was exhibiting bundle OF them
which had been received recently.
Very pretty" said the visitor. But
what are they used for?"
why, postage, of course-no-wait
a minute"
Mr.. Harris pondered.
''The weight limit on first-class pos
tage, which is the most costly, IS four
pounds" he said. "At the established
rate of two cents an ounce four
pound package would require only
SIPS in stamps. Couldn't use the tive'
dollar stamp there, could you?
1T might be used an third-class mat
ter where the rate is one cent Tor
each two ounces. The limit of weight
on this class is four pounds except 1t
be in the case of a single book
Mr.. Harris did some figuring and as
certained that the book would have to
weigh something like 65 pounds in
order to use the tive-dollar stamp.
But, of course, anybody would send
the book by express for 80 cents ne
reflected. "Darned If know what
they use 'em for. Ask Reilly"
Mont Reilly, assistant postmaster
was puzzled and he checked up the
question to Joseph Harris, the post
master. The P. M. wouldn't even
hazard a guess, except that they were
used in the post Office when the resu-
lations called for large cancellation
of postage to cover matter sent out
under the second-class rates.
A five-dollar stamp, he admitted
couldn't be exchanged for cash or for
stamps of smaller denomination Then
Mr.. Harris summoned A. F. Meador,
chief clerk of the stamp division.
1--WE sell about 100 of them each
year for use as postage on first-class
matter, mailed to foreign countries,
said Mr.. Meador. The foreign rate
is double that applying to domestic
matter. The stamps are purchased
principally by corporations having
stockholders abroad. Reports printed
in book form are mailed as first-class
matter to these stockholders"
