A HAPPY new YEAR.

To each and all of our friends we ex-
tend greetings, and our wishes for q
happy new year.
It is the time for summaries, for look
ing backward on what has been accom-
plished, and forward into the future to
try to discern what Is in store for us.
The great international event has
been the war with Spain. The Maine
was blown up February Is. Manila
was taken August Is. In that time
Spain was completely vanquished, and
on Christmas Day the president re-
oeived from the hands OF his COM
missioners the formal treaty of
peace.
The results of the war to the nation
mean new policies, new responsibili-
ties, new advantages. 1t is almost q
new birth, for now the United States
fer the first time takes that station
among the nations of the earth to
which it is justly entitled. The look
forward presents indeed bright pros
pect for our beloved nation.
The great national event has been
the return of the brothers of the north
and those of the south to the home so
rudely ravished q generation ago.
This year will stand forth in history as
the year of national reunion, and moth
ing could more signally distinguish a
year among all the years of time.
The look backward is solemnly CRATE
full; the look forward is fraught with
wonderful promise.
Prosperity has come to US. Prospe-
rity will continue with US during the
year about to begin, and tits to be ex-
pected that Ninety Nine will surpass
Ninety Eight in the volume of COM
merce, the full employment of labor.
and stimulation of industry.
For Ell Paso, the year has meant that
several million dollars have been
brought here and invested in lands,
buildings, railroads, factories, and
other permanent improvements, and
that Ell Paso, while it Is great now, is
growing at a.tremendous rate, fast but
steady, and for Ninety Nine there will
be no slipping back-nothing but con-
tinued advancement.
And finally, the year Ninety Eight
has to shown Ell Paso a modern, up-to-
date, creditable newspaper, THE NEW
HERALD, which has tried to give the
news truthfully and in interesting
form, and which has ever been on the
side of betterment, improvement,
advancement, in connection with
every matter that has arisen.
The HERALD means to improve up

It's only since that new tangled
order went into effect, providing for
forecasts and the display of the ace OF
spades from the top of the custom
house, that we have had any cold
waves. We never knew what q cold
wave was, until that fellow Moore in
Washington went and leased special
wire to here so he could worry US to
death with his frosts. We shall have
to mob our weather man yet, if this
thing keeps up.

CUT IN CHAINLEss CYCLES.
Pope Company Drops the Fries
From 1928 to $50.

Pope Company Drops the Prizes
From S125 to $50.
An announcement of interest to thou
sands Of riders and one that has anxious
ly been awaited, was made last week. The
chainless wheels, which have sold for SIPS
since they first We're placed on the market,
win be listed al SIS in 1899.
This is cut of $50 at the end Of one
year trial, and, while a reduction was ex-
pected, it was a surprise 10 some that the
amount fell below $780, 1t was the price
of the chainless wheel that prevented It
from becoming more popular during the
past season. 1t has been predicted by re-
tailers ever since midsummer that with
drop in the price the chainless would have
a run next year.
The cut from $125 to SIS is one that meets
the popular demand OF the times, and the
sentiment in The trade Is that the move
Is wise ore. That the chainless machine
can be made and sold for SIS proves that
those who introduced it and who have sup
ported Ii consider it a success. Accom-
panying the announcement of the cut IN
the price of the chainless is one to the eI-
feet that the highest grade chain bicycle
will sell for $50 next year. This stand Is
taken by the Pope Manufacturing Com
pany, makers of the Columbia wheel, 'he
oldest makers in the country, and it y
likely TO be followed by cuts on the part
of other manufacturers.
