querque. He is considered the best
pitcher in the state and the ST. Louis
team tried to get him this season, but
there was some hitch in the deal and
he staid with the San Antonio team
until it went to pieces. Many other
good players have been secured for AL

play ball at the fair they will have to
select only good players. The Texas
league has gone to pieces and there are
now number of ball players ready for
a job. Gilpatrick said last night that
members of the Galveston team would
ike to come to Ell Paso and they could
probably be induced to come. They
stood at the head of the Texas league

started for the Klondike gold fields in

The Campbell Real Estate company
| and the Ell Paso Real Estate company
have in contemplation move that will
red dound greatly to the benefit of Ell
Paso. They propose building q num-
Der of cottages on their lands in differ
ent parts of the city and selling them
to purchasers on long payments and on
the installment plan. This move will
| solve the rent problem in FL Paso and
greatly help poor people in securing
homes. The plan is fsr better than
those offered by the numerous build
ing and loan associations throughout
the country and ten fold safer. A man
es not know at what moment build
ing and loan association will "go up
the fiume" and the money he has in
vested will be lost, but if he buys q
house from a reliable real estate COM
pauy he can rest assured his money
will not be badly invested as long as he
makes an effort to pay the INSTALL
the company fail his investment
would be protected and he could make
his payments to the assignee or receiv-
er. The building and loan plan is one
on which many people in Ell Paso have
been badly bitten. Its profits and capi-
tai stock is generally eaten up in pay
ing salaries to high priced officers and
the furnishing of luxurious Offices, and
the company is generally without soul
person who has borrowed enough money
to build a home.

Several years ago q certain United
States attorney named Bill Berry gave
a ''stag party'' to his gentlemen friends
at Fort Scott. He had procured q
bountiful supply of cold beer for the
delectation of his guests. but hid it
prandial surprise. When the proper
time arrived for the revelation of his
surprise, he said to the assembled COM
pany: "Boys, l have q lot of cold beer
upstairs, but before we START want to

gentlemen or like hogs?" "Oh, we'll
