The Alamo Monumental Associa-

great object
No conventional column or shaft
should be thought of as a monument
to commemorate the history CT the
Alamo.
How soon we forget other peoples
ceased to be topic of conversation.
Gout is tender subject to touch
upon, yet we know of more than one
prominent citizen who seem to be
proud of their limp.
Judge Paschal, our district attorney,
has the distinction of being a hard
worker long after the day laborer has
gone to sleep, and it is said that the
early risers in the neigh borhood of his
residence are accustomed to see the
light from his studio burning like a
beacon-light when the first streaks Of
dawn are in the eastern sky.
The specifications for more street
paving are now in the hands of the
printer. If round blocks are adopted
more work can be done for the money,
and the experience of other cities justi-
fies the con clusion that the pavement
will be as durable and as good as the
cabinet work now being put down.
The new street sweeper looks like a
small affair; it will take half a dozen
of these machines to sweep a street.
If there is no danger of washing the
blocks out, why not turn the hydrants
lose on the paved streets?
Mayor Callaghan is a regular at
tendant at the opera house whenever

Governor Pacheco of California, who
has been spending the holidays in
our city. Governor Pacheco has pur-
chased large stock range In north

northern Mexico will pass into the
hands Of capitalists who will develop
its resources, and our city will be
the favo-lte center for all its trade.
