care to make a speech, so he called
upon Fay Sperry, who said: The
only thing that I would suggest that
you add to that resolution is that FL
PasO secede from Texas and join New
Mexico"
Fred Hess. another Of the Las Cruces
committee said; I don't see any rea-
son why you should not go to Wash
ingtOn and ask for an appropriation"
- Schwartz suggested that advertis-
Using the valley begin at once, saying
Why not let FL Paso and the upper
valley people get together now and
raise a fund to advertise the Valley
T. r. II. Smith said: When it
comes to raising money, We in Las
Cruces cannot go out and raise money
as easily as you can"
V. X. Stiles said; We are trying to
raise a budget fund in FL Paso- Of
course we have to go out into the
suburbs and Las Cruces is suburb Of
FL PasO-"
it was proposed to use this very budget
for advertising. Why not start an
advertising campaign to be eliminated
in the 1915 exposition We can invite
president Wilson to come and open the
dam President Roosevelt opened the
Roosevelt dam in Arizona What we
want is the free advertising that We
will get through publicity"

to use part OF the budget fund for al
upper and lower valleys.
