THE times are favorable to have this
winter a carnival that shall far surpsss
anything of the sort that has ever been
given in the southwest, and that shall
return to Ell Paso in material benefits
magnificent opportunity for US to show
just how real is all the prosperity and
superiority we have been talking about
for so long. All the country is interest
ed lin this section as never before in
the nations history, and Ell Paso, as
the metropolis of the great southwest,
is now charged with the honor and the
duty of demonstrating the economic
Importance of this section. Let us join
hands to work for the success of the
carnival and exposition.

AMUSEMENT is not the only end te
be sought in arranging the carnival
program. It should be also instructive
and informing, not only to visitors blu,
to our own people. Many of our bust
mess men fondlv hope that this carni-
val agitation may be the forerunner of
better things to come in the future
that the committees now formed shall
take root aud become permanent insti-
buttons in some form or other, to take
the lead in all movements for the bet
tering of Ell PasO. We need q gene
raj citizens organization very much
not necessarily q com mercisl club. but
one that will have to do with every
sort of interest that works for the ma
terial and moral betterment of this
city. Let us hope that another year
will not be allowed to pass without our
citizens taking the long step forward
that would be the necessary result of
the formation of some sort of citizens
association.

IT Is reported that several outside
capitalists are ready to loan money in
this city on real estate security at low
rates of interest, six and seven per-
cent. The tendency all over the
country is certainly to lower the in
terest rate, and Ell Paso will have to
reduce hers before very long. With
hundreds of thousands of dollars
ready to put out for investment, and
plenty more to be had at low rates,
the action of the banks here in arbi-
trarily keeping up the interest rate to
ten and twelve percent is hardly war
ranted. The real estate companies
made the first break, to six
percent, and more are likely to follow
before long. If money is hard to get
in this city, the fact is not to be laid to
anything but local conditions that
make it possible for the banks to keep
up arbitrarily the interest rate.

Lessons OF The YaQui War.
anciSco Examiner.

| Sdn franClScO examiner.
The trouble of dealing with a small
guerrilla force In country that gives
any cover is once more exempliied in
the Mexican campaign against the
Yaquis. AS correspondents of this
paper have explained, the hostile
Yaquis are but fraction of the whole
tribe, the greater portion of which ie
either neutral or friendly with the
whites. So far as known the number
on the warpath does not exceed five or
six hundred, If it reaches that total.
Yet the Mexicans have been busy for a
| month trying to subdue the petty up
| rising, latterly with $500 men COM
manded by major-general. The gen.
eral and several of his officers and men
have been wounded, but the Yaauis
seems to be quite as capable of fight
Ing as they ever were. None is re-
ported as wounded or killed; none is
on list of prisoners.
The story repeats that of our own
Indian wars for three hundred years.
1t took US all that time to bring into
at least from the period when a million
whites were settled on this continent.
numerically inferior to ourselves.
General E. S. Otis, some fifteen or
twenty years ago, advanced the theory
that the Indians, at their best estate,
were never more than 400, 600 strong
all told. He estimated that, from the
amount of land required to supply
wild game for one Indian, the continent
could keep but about that number
alive. Life at best was hard with
these people; they preyed upon each
other and fell victims to wild breats
and climatic rigors. They had their
famines aud epidemics. Yet
few as they were and chiefly
dependent for the first two centuries on
the most primitive weapons Of war,
they made themselves dangerous to the
white millions until recent time.
There was very lively Indian issue
exemplifed on the Little Big Horn
river. just one hundred years after the
formation of the United States Govern
ment. And yet we had been trying to
control these aborigines with an army
since the days of Dutch, English,
French and Spanish colonization in
the sixteenth century.
We have no call, therefore, to criti-
else the Mexican methods of dealing
with the scattered bands of Yaquis.
More than that, we have still less call
to complain of the results of our cam.
paigns in the far east against the
Iagals. with their millions of people
and their modern equipment of war.
Ihe wonder is. considering the usual
results of the kind of warfare which is
being waged against our authority in
Luzon, that we have accomplished
half of what now stands to our credit. |

THE ANNOYED

Just before the Colorado 81 Southern
train for New Mexico and Texas pulled
out of the union depot this morning
| there was sudden commotion in the
waiting rooms. A rather odd looking
pair had arrived on an early train from
the west, tall raw-boEed man, with
long, dropping black mustachiOs, lin
en- duster and q sheriff's star. The
outer garment falling aside disclosed a
leather belt with q six shooter hanging
conspicuously by the buckle:

drew together his eye lids in concen-
trated stare at girl in a lavender
dress of some soft material with many
ribbons. Pedro threw out his hands
with energetic grace and shifted at the
feeting odors from the lunch room.
Policeman Clark, on duty at the de-
pot, passed by and gazed curiously at
the couple. The sheriff looked at the
less athletic figure of the depot Of

''Yo 10 mato!' shrieked the hungry
and injured Mexican, and then, in an
outburst he pleaded for
food.
The lavender spparition faded and
the two women sitting on q benchOp-
pOsite rose hastily and screamed. BY
a dexter GUS twist on the collar the
sheriff jerked Pedro off his feet and
shaking him like rat, planted q gen.
erous boot toe behind him with such
force that Pedro rose in the air for at
least three feet. When the Mexican
landed, it seemed he would crack the
tiles of the floor, but the sheriff WAS
ready. The scream of anguish on the
Mexican's lips died half-born when the |
sheriff made him start heavenward for |
3 second time.
'sNow you son Of the DEVIL" said the |
sheriff, while the Mexican grovelled at |
hose terrible boots. "1f you say break

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: Peremp-
tory instructions have been sent by
Acting Secretary Allen to Capt. Edwin
Longnecker, commanding the cruiser
New Orleans, directing him TO sail for
Manila by October 10.
Rear Admiral Rodgers, president of
the board, appointed to inspect the New
Orleans, telegraphed that all of the es-
sential work required on the New Or
leans could be completed in six days
The inspection was ordered because of
reports made by Capt. Longnecker and
other officers of the ship that her ma
chinery was in such condition she could
not sail under two months.
The action of the department in this
matter is indicative of its intention to
rush repairs on vessels so that they may
be sent to join Rear Admiral Watson

New Scheme.

A clever scheme was recently worked
by a confidence man in which st.
Paul bank was the innocent cause of a
Montana bank losing $1,000. A res
pectably dressed, elderly man appeared
at st. Paul bank and bought draft
on New York for 81, He asked
that the bank notify a certain Mon
tana bank that the check had been
purchased and would be cashed by him
there. A few days later the confidence
man appeared at the Montana bank
and had his draft cashed. He present.
for payment forged fac-simile of the
draft, however. He then returned to
st. Paul in hurry, appeared at the
bank where he had purchased the draft
and stated that he had changed his
mind. and had the original draft
cashed. A few days later the game
was discovered, but the confidence man
had departed, and thus far the detec-
tives have been unable to locate him.
