rounded by a highly fertile agri-
cultural section which is witnessing

NEW MEXICAN immigration
gulations bid fair TO play hob
IN business and social visits
4 loss the border-and to badly
--pple trade Of places OF business
Matamoros.
The regulations are very similar
those imposed in the past except
at all tourists will be required tO
sit the consul and pay one peso
n f. permission to visit that coun-
@same regulations are to ap-
II at Laredo. Up there off
j is of Laredo and groups OF

Il IN protesting to immigration au-
i rities that enforcement would

N -rned these protests have been
i vain and preparations are going

\ lace, July IS.
The really new portion OF the
ling is TO the effect that citizens
wing in Valley towns where there
no port Of entry will be con-
sidered tourists and will be required
70 visit the consul and secure
