r AS CRUCES. the capital city OF
BOosterland, extends the glad
hand TO the FL Paso Keynote ex-
cursicnists and sincerely welcomes
them
All Las Cruces realizes that the in
terests OF FL Paso are so interviewer
with those OF this town and valley that
they are practically identical, and,
while you are journeying throughout
the great southwest with the purpose
Of crystalizing and centraliZing the at
tention Of its people upon the fact that
Fl PasO IS rightfully its metropolis and
trade center, you are none the less
building up at the same time the inter
ests Of the Immediately surrounding
towns and country which are tributary
to Fl PasO.
This fair city Of the AIesilIa valley re-
iterates her determination to cooperate
in all things for the building up Of FL
PasO- Indeed, probably one Of the most
important elements Of III PasO's pres
ent and future growth is this sympa-
thet1c feeling between the two towns.
FL Paso is the railroad, manufacturing
and Jobbing center, while Las Cruces
is the agricultural and suburban cen
ter OF this valley and this section OF
the country. Agricultural sections do
not build great cities, but they do build
wealthy and cOntented communities
and Las Cruces aims to be and is the
center Of such a community
Welcomes FL PasOans Often.
Our main regret on this occasion is
that SO little time has been given by
this trade excursion to Las Cruces, but
as we are only 43 miles from FL PasO
and are soon TO be linked by a first
class, modern highway upon the com
pletiOn Of Nthe Canine Real, we shall
expect and insist that you visit US
again and often.
There has been an awakening on the
subject Of good roads and at the cleo
ton next month, a favorable vote upon
q 100000 county bond issue for good
roads is sure to be given, which
amount, together with probably $50 900

Washington, March 2s.-After spirited
debate concerning the prevalence Of 'phossy
Jaw" among workers in match factories,
the House to-day passed the Hughes bill
which places a prohibitlye tax on matches
manufactured Of poisonous white phos-
phorus. The bill. which passed by = vote
Of 1863 to 50 also prohibits the Importation
or expectation Of white phosphorus
matches.
President Taft in 4 recent message 10
Congress advocated legislation 70 prevent
the use Of poisonous white phosphorus, and
the bill was supported almost solidly by the
Republicans Of the House to-day.
Representative Underwood, the majority
leader, opposed the bill. although II had
been reported by the Ways and Means
Committee. but for once the rank and file
Of the party did not follow him.
Resides imposing e prohibitive tax on

into effect on July I, 1913. If the bill passes
