El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1897-08-04

1t seems like Phoenix. Arizona, is
ahead of Ell Paso in some repects. The
police and city recorder are waglnS
war on the class of men who live on OF
depraved women. There are large
number of this class of men In Ell Paso
aud they are a disgrace to any COM
munlty and there Is no gOod reason
why they should not be given a chance
to do work for the city. Why shoulo
men who live off of the wages OF Sill OF
some fallen woman be allowed to carry
on his nefarious business, aud the wo-
man off whom he lives be pulled up ana
required to pay monthly tine. In
many cases these men take money from
the women by force, and if not by force
they ealthily enter the wOmans
premises when she is absent ana rOp
her of h=r ill-gotten gains. Inc ponce
know this. They know also that II the
man is "pulied'' the woman, through
fes r or I'VE, will swear in court that
the man never took her money. Sill
they can be pulled on the charge OF
vag '.ncy, ard if they are not Migrants
what are they? The city needs work
on the streets and with a large supply
of balls and chains considerable WORK
could be gotten out OF this class OF
VulIurpS. L mere SlOulo JIG LIZ oSSe
cas-s made. Pull the men daily until
a jury &c is tired of attending court
and then justice will be done. Ii
woman of the cyprian class is Licensed
her bus ness the city should give her
p. @. lection from this class OF vultures.
Pboenix has another ordinance
which could BE- adopted in Ell Paso to
great advantage, and that is the Or
dinance that allows the dog catcher to
catch worthless, loafng ours with
piece Of lead fired from small calibred
rifle. 1t is proving the most feasible
p an of catching dogs ever adopted in
Phi oenix. There are many dogs in this
tage by the method and it would pay
the city council to adopt it here.
The territorial fair to be held at AL
buquerque in September offers purse 5
amounting to $685. for the six day bicy-
Gle meet that Is to occur there duriDg
the fair. All classes OF bicycle races are
to be run and the inter-terrltorlal
cb am pionship contest will occur on the
second day.
The fruit crop down the valley this
year was almost complete failure as
far as peaches and plums were con-
cerned. Tue grape crop, however,
wilt be large and will nearly make up
for the loss in peaches and plums.
With good irrigating system below
Ell Paso there is no valley n the world
that can produce more or better fruit
Some of the wives, mot ALL that are
now spending their summer away from
,lv &C,
home and take care of their Innocent
bubbles. These bubbles have began
taking some of the young girls out for
bicycle rides, ice cream parties and to
the park Friday ight'. There is nothing
wrong in tots IN all cases, but in some
cases, especially with men who are
inclined to be a little swift, it is liable
to cause rupture In family circles.
Watch for THIN at the park Friday
night and see tneir actiOas.
While the Klondyke fever is on, and
tales of fabulous riches come floating
from the gold fields of Alaska, it Is
well for people in this section to look
nearer home for riches in mining. If
the same efforts that are devoted to
booming the KlOndyke country were
expended in booming the southwest
country and northern Mexico, much
capital would drift this way and many
prospects that now lie idle would be
turned into paying mines. The HER
AID, as newspaper, has given all the
Information Ob5alnable ON the new
gold discoveries, but 1t advises no one
to go there. Reports show that the
couutry is already OvercrO voed with
PROSECUTORS ami that all the dlscovel ed
goio fields have ali ea0y been staked
Three months III the year Is all that
miner can work and The balanUe OF the
time Is spent in getting the gold out OF
the country and trying to keep from
freezing to death. The hardsnips en-
counter ed the e are numerous and the
CHANCES for fortune are 81 ght. II
more encouragement were given to
prospectors in this country it would not
De long tefOre the country around Ell
Paso would have gold boom on, and
none Of the hardships found IN the
frozen region would be encountered
here. A prospector with his burro can
go The year round In ms flannel sbirS
sleeves. There is gold here anu plenty
of it, but it needs capital to develop the
claims. In Arizona and northern
MeXi,o there is .ots of free gold to be
found, but there no mills to work
the ore and without mills the poor
prOspectOr is compelled to lay his
claim oy until time arrives when cap
ital foe mining purposes will see6 in
veStment in this section.
