Las Cruces, n. NJ, Aug. 21.-State-
hood is the only topic of conversation in
Las Cruces. Saturday afternoon when
the first telegram arrived from The Her
aid announcing that the bill would pass
the house during the afternoon, the peo-
pie started the celebration with gun
shots and giant firecrackers. The noise
soon spread and the fire whistle broke
forth about p. m. to announce the
birth of the new state.
The crowd around The Herald bulle-
tins on Main street told of the interest
in the measure, both on the part of the
Americans as well as the native resi-
dents.
Saturday night was busy night The
politicians were cleaning off old states
and getting ready for the new ones
Candidates for the various state offices
began to sprout in the most unexpected
quarters.
The celebration started on Main street
with the opening of several kegs of free
beer. A squad of the militia was marched
up Main street from the armory and
fired .48 rounds to celebrate the new
star added to the flag.
Arrangements are being perfected for
an appropriate demonstration as soon as
the statehood bill shall have been signed
by the president, and the party leaders
will arrange appropriate speeches, and
demonstration to commemorate the
greatest event in the history of New
Mexico since she became a territory OF
the United States.
