Greater Las Vegas Second City

Greater Las Vegas Second City
Greater Las Vegas, according to the
census figures, undoubtedly deserves
the honor of ranking as the second
largest city in New Mexico. According
to the census of 1900 East Las We
gas had population of 1852. The
1910 census gives it a population OF
1855, or a gain of 203 people. The
1910 census gives the town OF Las
Vegas 9,179, while no figures are
available for 1900. This makes the
total population of the two towns,
which are one as far as commercial
activities are concerned and really
make up one big community, 6,934.
This is considerably larger than Santa
Fe and Roswell, which have been
claiming to be the second cities O.
the territory.

been hnaded out by the supreme

grounds that the Judge had no jnris-
diction In the matter until thirty days
had elapsed between the date Of the

Aside from this artificial support.
there Is much better undertone to

sition of the market has positively i'm
proved, and though the clouds have
not by any means rolled away and
left clear sunshine, fair rally in va
lues has been distinctly warranted
One OF the best features In the sit
uation Is the Improvement in the bond
market. The low prices at which
many excellent issues are now SELL
ing is special inducement to this
ture, and one that is fundamentally
curative, Is the steady increase In our
export trade. In August alone our
exports of domestic merchandise
amounted to over Sal 100000, or siO.-

figures are particularly encouraging
As prices here, especially of steel pro-

are that we shall undersell Germany

that the market has already had a
