On every street in Las Cruces have sprung up the new houses that are transforming Las Cruces from an adobe village of the cattle days to a modern city, with paved streets, sidewalks and smooth lawns. The past year has seen a remarkable growth in the substantial construction of the town and another 12 months will result in even a greater improvement. Pebble dashed mission houses, the ideal form of residence construction in the southwest, are being built on every residence street in this city, and the Alameda road and the College road, as well as the old Mesilla drive, are being lined with the plan but attractive houses of, the type that the mission fathers in their wisdom selected as the most' appropriate for a country where the mountains furnish elaborate architectural designs and the sunsets the brilliant colors.

the piano was removed from the old Maccabee hall Saturday afternoon by drayman Bruce, the closing line in the history of this old structure as a public gathering place for Las Cruces and the Mesilla valley was written. For years this long adobe building, with its much boasted hard wood floor, the only one of its kind in the valley for years, has been the only available gathering place for the citizens of the valley. Almost every meeting of a public nature, as well as amateur plays, dances and benefit suppers have been held in this old pile. Political gatherings have been held in the old hall, called alternately the skating rink, Maccabee hall, the armory and just plain Its hardwood floor, declared to have been hauled over the mountains by the pioneer settlers, was known from end to end of the valley. Before the seed house and Iladley hall were available at the Agricultural college, the annual senior dance was held in the skating rink each year at graduation time.

When the trade excursion paid its first visit to Las Cruces the skating rink was the scene of the first attempt of a visiting group of business men to entertain the business men of the town in their own front yard. The luncheon, unique because it consisted of everything raised in the Mesilla valley, was a success and was the beginning of the reciprocal trade relations that have made FI Paso and Las Cruces the component parts of one general community. IfecomcR Sloreliouse. Giving away to the new armory, which has supplied everything the old structure did and much more, the old armory has reverted to a storehouse, and its much boasted hardwood floor will be used for storing household goods. As a meeting place of the people of the Mesilla valley the new' Las Cruces armory is an ideal structure.

Roomy and well ventilated, with a fine dancing floor and sufficient scenery for the presentation of all ordinary plays, the assembly room of the new territorial building is as modern and convenient as any similar structure in El Paso. In the basement are provided locker rooms for the national guard and bow'ling alleys and pool tables for the young men of the city. The exterior of the Armore building is In keeping witlw- the general style of architecture of the valley, and is an ornament to Griggs street, which is fast becoming a rival of Las Cruces avenue as one of the prettiest streets of the town.

LARCELT Las Cruces, N. Nov. Las Cruces is progressing equqally fast with the material growth of the town of the twin crosses.

Meetings are held each week and a number of new members are initiated at each meeting. The Alianza ITispano Americano, one of the strongest fraternal societies in the southwest, is one of the lodges that is planning to build its own home. The alliance owns a very desirable tract of ground on Griggs street, near the new armory, and it is the plan to erect a two story building of mission design to conform to the prevailing style of architecture on this street. Its membership includes the leading citizens of the town and valley, and arrangements are being made to attend the national convention of the alliance, which is to be held in El Paso In January. The Woodmen of the World is another fraternal order that Is having rapid growth in Las Cruces.

Arrangements are being made for a special train from El Paso on Dec. 12 for the annual memorial services to be held here on that day. Judge A. S. J.

The order also pays special attention to the social side of fraternal life, and a number of social dances and parties are given by the members through the winter. The K. of C.

lodge has its own orchestra and it plays for these dances and socials whenever they are held. VALLEY AFTER GOOD ROADS Product Up Exchange to Otlici Questions. DITCH OVERFLOWS UP AT BERINO CELERY GROWING IN MESILLA VALLEY Experiments With Its ture Are Now Made. Cul- Being Las Cruces, N. Nov.

G. Stuart ranch, below Mesilla Park. Three of celery was transplanted aft- i er ii was grown under burlap, and it. is now bleached eight inches and will i be ready for market in another month. The valley as a celery field was first I discovered by Mr.

Lyon, who is a corn- mercial expert on soil culture. was he who first started the growing of cantaloupes in the valley as a eom- mercial business and the celery production promises to be as extensive as the cantaloupe industry. ranch, where the experiment is being conducted, is one of the finest fruit and cantaloupe ranches In the entire valley, and an expert market gardener has been in charge of the experimental tract on this ranch. A small tract was also transplanted at the Hugh Clary tract, near Mesilla Park, and it is also proving a complete, success. A tract of 20 acres will be planted next year by the produce company.

The celery is transplanted about the middle of July, according to I. 1 Todd, the Lyon Coggin representative in the valley. It is ready for marketing late in November, but owing to the great quantity of Kalamazoo and other Michigan celeries, it is held until the first of the year, when Ir is placed on the market after the northern supply has been exhausted. The L. C.

company Is also carrying on a number of general market garden experiments to ascertain just what garden stuffs can be raised to the best advantage In the wonderfully rich soil of the Mesilla valley. Cauliflower is one of the crops that Is being given a tryout. One head was raised weighing four pounds and the general results in the growing of this vegetable has been as sucessful as the celery experiment. Head lettuce was also tried and while it was shown that It could be grown successfully, the crop came so early that there was no market for it.

Nov. meeting to discuss live of interest to the ranchmen of the valley is what the Mesilla valley produce exchange is planning for the winter, when the ranchmen are not too busy tending their crops to attend the meetings, and T. C. Phillips, secretary of the produce exchange, has arranged for the good roads meeting to be a mass meeting of the entire population of the valley, where the best methods of obtaining an improvement In the present road law aqd the improvement of the now almost impassible roads will be discussed.

A discussion of the best time for sowing new land for alfalfa and what crops are best for immediate return on an investment raw land are some of the subjects that are to be brought up for discussion by the exchange. Wheat raising in the Mesilla valley, both as a companion crop with alfalfa at the time of seeding and also as a staple crop, is another question that will be threshed out at one of the valley meetings. The first meeting will be held on the third Thursday in December and will continue each month during the winter. The produce exchange is alive to the problems confronting the valley farmers, and it is the belief of such men as Prof. Hiram Hadley, Prof.

Lu- tlier Foster and secretary Phillips that much good can be accomplished by a united effort toward uniform crops and uniform cultivation and irrigation of the lands composing this fertile valley. Speaker Shows That More Is Spent for Liquor Than for Any Necessity in Country. Las Cruces, N. Nov. Temperance Rally Day was observed by the local branch of the W.

C. T. U. at (the Methodist church. A program had been previously arranged with all the Sunday schools participating.

The exercises began by two splendid musical selections rendered by the orchestra from the A. M. college, followed with scripture reading by Rev. Mr. Foulks, of the Methodist church, who read from the 5th chapter of Galatians.

Rev. Mr. Rorex of the Baptist church offered the prayer, and the hymn. Christian was heartily sung by the congregation, led by Miss Lizzie Garrett. Prof.

Wagner, principal of the public school, addressed the assemblage for minutes, opening his address by referring to the large banner, which hung on the wall back of the rostrum, and on which were life size pictures of a boy and girl about 12 years of ftge, bearing a large U. S. flag and over which was printed in large letters, or the boys and girls. He stated that object lessons were the most impressive and that if the picture was studied and the lesson it conveyed was imbibed by the audience while he talked, his part in the exercises would have not been in vain. Prof.

agner referred to the report of the grand jury which was made at Roswell last week, reading from The Herald portion which had reference to the saloons selling liquor to minors. At roll call of the schools, each responded with a rally cry or verse of scripture.

Prohibition, prohibition, is the call of today; Prohibition for New Mexico, the mission children The Presbyterian school gave the 28th verse of the 15th chapter of First Corinthians, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." The Methodist school responded: Prohibition wave, will our country save! Save!

Las Cruces, N. Nov. the Mesilla valley is an asset to the business of El Paso is evidenced by a trip from El Paso to Las Cruces on the evening train over the Santa Fe. Both the tipper and lower Mesilla valleys are represented on these trains, and almost every passenger lias an armful of bundles which were purchased in El Paso stores. At Canutillo two passengers got off the train Friday night, each carrying as many packages as they could hold in their arms.

At Mesquite, Yado, La Tuna and the other stations along the line the ranchmen left the train, almost invariably carrying packages with the wrapping of El Paso stores about them. The goods bought in El Paso by the upper valley ranchmen are almost Invariably of the class that cannot be purchased at the small stores In these valley towns, proving the truth of the business axiom, what yeti can at home and buy the rest In El Paso." $4,479,613.28 C.
