THE FALL OUTLOOK
For Trade in Ell Paso Was
Never Better and Busi-
ness Has Increased.
ALL LINES OF TRADE
Show an Increase and Everybody
Appears to be in Easy CirCum-

stances.
The expressions given below from
many of our merchants simply en-
phasize the statement that has been
made so ofrequently-that business could
not be better. These expressions COM
ing from some of the leading dealers in
Ell Paso, show that the trade conditions
of this thriving city are steadily on the
up grade and that each successive year
brings more business to the great trade
center of the southwest.
Jobbers, and retailers as we'll. in all
lines are not only satisfied with the
conditions, but are really surprised at
the enormous gains made in the vo-
lume of business that they are now
doing. Many of the Wholesale houses
are working early and late to fill their
orders, while retail ablishments are

at at night.
And this is not merely q squirt, but
since the opening of the fall season 1t
has been the case: and indications point
to q continuation of these good
times.
A HERALD representative called in
to see one of the mem bers of the firm
of I. Blumenthal, q large jobber, in
status of the dry goods trade for this
fall season.
AS usual, he was too busy to give
much attention, but the feeling ex-
pressed as far as the season g
trade with him had been, was quite sat-
isfactOry.
He, however, added that the seasons
trade, Notwithstanding the extreme
warm weather, was quite satisfactory
and quite up to last fall in volume,
which was the largest they had ever
q bright, profitable outlook, from the
fact that the present high price of cot
ton would bring an amount of ready
money into the country far above the
and calculations made
several months ago. The dry
goods market, especially in cotton fab

A. II. Richards, the retail jeweler,
IN speaking of trade conditions to q re-
of the HERALD, stated, that |
the business being done by his |
house at the present time was fully 80 |
per cent better than last year. Trade |
in all lines was active, he said, and the
prospects for further activity were all
that could be desired.
A. Courchesne, president of the
Pioneer Grocery, said that trade was
a1l that could be desired and that it
was considerably larger than last year.
All indications pointed to prosperous
season. I'VE are1well pleased with
orders now being received and are san

hat the business now being done by |
hem was in excess of that of last year.
They were we'll pleased with the pros

The Yaquis Are Prepared for

Big Supplies of Arms and Ammunition
Have Been Bought by the Indians.

Austin, Tex, Aug. Ga special re-

! huahua, Mexico, which is located near
the scene of the Yaqui uprising, is to
the effect that the Indians are ar
ranging for a prolonged war The
special says:
1T is going to take the Mexican gov
eminent long time and a big force
of troops to quell the rebellion. The
Yaquis are better prepared now than
ever before for a long and bloody CAM
paign. They are all well fixed finan-
cially, nearly all of them having saved
the $500 per head which the Mexican
government paid them when they
signed the treaty of peace two years
ago. They have been making money
since then, too, and it is known to be
fact that they have been laying in
big supplies of arms and ammunition
for some time past. II has been COM
mon talk among the American pros
pectors in the Yaqui valley that the
Indians were preparing for another
outbreak, but as the braves had al
ways shown a friendly spirit toward
the Americans it was thought they
would not modest them when they did
go on the warpath.. They are deter
mined to recover all of their lost coun-
try and will kill everybody they find
within the limits of their old posses
sions."
The special also reports that num-
Der of miners and ranchers in and near
Cocori had been slain and their prop
erty laid waste.
