WE'RE SAVING WOOD

The Santa Fe New Mexican, in an
editorial urging the boosters of the
ancient City to get busy, calls atten-
Ttion to the successful advertising cam
naign being made by Las Vegas. 1t
also gives some valuable advice
which may be appropriated with bene-
tit by cities everywhere that desire
to grow and prosper The New Mexi-
cans editorial is as follows:
Keep Up With the Procession
Las Vegas, New Mexico, town Of
Mndeniablea natural attractions and
considerable possibilities which Of
course do not begin to compare with
the advantages Of Santa Fe is putting
on brisk and business like communi-
zy advertising campaign and as a re-
suit OF the systematic work Of the
Commercial club, that organization is
receiving every day an increasing
number Of inquiries about Las Vegas,
in response to which information is
being distributed over the country. A.
bunch went out the other day and in
a short time secured ten new mem
bers, substantial business men, for
the organization, increasing its reyen-
ues $28 per month.
We should hate to think that Las
Vegas is going to give Santa Fe any
atsae worst of tim the matter Of town
building, But Las Vegas is undeniably
saving wood. It Is unnecessary to re-
peat what Albuquerque Is doing, fur
sther than to state again tllat she has
raised over $1,000 fofiefts advertising
and II she doesn't Waterfront wfii make
1t $40, 900. Ration and Trinidad are
missing no bets. In her own peculiar
and unique resources Santa Fe haa

and many visitors from other cities
thronged the streets The church
bells were rung and at noon troop

and Highlanders in klts escorted the
president-elect in a coach Of state to
the scene Of che ceremonies. Living
ston, chancellor of NewsY York state,
administered the oath ofiofiice- Wash
ington1s ferEeht response was met
with cheers Long live George Wash
ington, 8 president Or the United
statesp from thousands of throats.
From Federal hall. Washington went
to the neighboring ST. Paul's church
to attend divine services. Artillery
roared and bells rang throughout the
afternoon and evening, At dusk bon
fires and fireworks lighted up the
streets and gala balls were held,
which continued into the following
May day.
Now
Today on the steps Of the United
states subtreasury building, the ex-
act spot where Washington stood
when he took the oath OF office, stands
his bronze statute, whose legs have
been worn shiny by the urchins OF
wall street who have tried to climb
up to touch the bronze hand Of the
father of the country. The point to-
day is called the monetary nerve cen
ter of the country. The trees which
shaded the narrow thoroughfare in
Washington day have all gone, and
all about are buildings whose stony
monotony towers several hundred
feet above the scene. The land
where washington stood sold at $2.75
a square foot at that time; today 1t
is valued at $500 square foot, and
is one Of the most valuable tracts in
the world. The buildings about II
are said to represent a real value OF
$500, 100000 and in their vaults there
ordinarily reposes about sixth Of al
the money in the United States.

Well, am very much pleased

are varied. If l should begin to
tell you of them, | am afraid that
it might oe said that I was stretch
ing it to the limit.
Right now, the fruit is turning
yellow, and the trees are loaded
with oranges, lemons and grape
fruit.
The winter crops are mostly set
out-such as onions, cabbage, and
other garden truck. The present
indications are that they will bring
big prices.
They raised a big crop of corn
this year and they also got a good
price for it
| do think that this is a place
where hogs can be raised more
proftably than in South Dakota,
because they can get green feed
the year around. The price of
hogs is the same here as it is in
So nth Dakota.
There are quite a few that are
raising the second crop of corn

a number of fields and find them
