MR.. SHELDON is disposed to remodel
the Sheldon block and make first
class hotel OF it. But he must assure
himself that the management will al
so be first class. He desires that the
new Sheldon hotel shall rank with the
very best hotels of the east,
and he realizes fully that
however much money he may put
into the project, the hotel will be
it is in competent hands. It has been
suggested that in order to provide for
successful business management and
popularity at the same time it will be
desirable to employ two men to run
the hotel--one, the boniface, q genial
whole souled hearty entertainer, who
will make his guests feel at home and
will give the appearance of gener Gus
Hberality, almost to extravaRance,
without really expanding an undue
amount; the other, the financial man
ager, should be q we'll equipped bust
ness man, close buyer, and q careful
administrator. The latter need not
come into contact with his guests at
all. MIR. Parfitt, we'll known New
York architect, is now in
this city as the special
agent of Mr.. Sheldon. He believes the
town is well able to support a first class
hotel and he is convinced that the
Sheldon block is the ideal location for
such a hotel. He is DESTROYS of finding
a man or men who are fully competent
to take hold of such great enterprise
and carry it through to Mr.. Sheldon's
satisfaction. In mingling with the
people he has found that
the people of Ell Paso desire q new
hotel with dining room and
lunch room conducted on the modern
principles which prevail in the larger
cities. The opposition to new hotel |
Is comparatively slight, and no reason |
OF any weight whatever has been given |
for such opposition, except the fear
that turning the Sheldon block into a |
hotel will put off indefinite
ly the day when Ell Paso |
might have half million dollar wir-
ter resort hotel, which is the dream of
q few of our people. AS for ourselves,
we are inclined to take advantage of |
the good things as they come along and
it seems to US that the people of Ell
Paso should give every encouragement
to this new enterprise.

AN American firm recently secured
contract for twenty locomotives to be
delivered in Saxony. The cost was seven
hundred dollars each more than the
price asked by we'll known German
firm. The point which determined the
acceptance of the American bid was
the fact that our manufacture
ers guaranteed to deliver the
locomotives within a much short
er time than did the German
firm. It may be stated as
an unquestionsble fact that our
ability to turn out great steel bridges
for Egypt and costly machinery for
Europe on better terms than can be Of
fered by any foreign manufacturers,
at least as regards speed of delivery,
is due to the industrial combinations in
this country known as trusts, whereby
great enterprises can be undertaken
and carried through with as little diff
ficulty as foreigners have with their
small ones. Whether this fact is bene-
fetal or not remains to be seen.

THE HERALD is glad to note the fact
that the board of health has had a
meeting at which the general sanitary
conditions of the city were considered.
The board of health is one of the most
important departments of the city
government. and one in which
every citizen is deeply interested.
The meetings should be frequent and
public. Certainly newspaper reporters
should be admitted, privilege which
was denied them yesterday. The HER
AID can see no necessity for star
chamber meetings of the board.

DESPITE the repeated denials, it
appears reasonably certain that the
next few years will see the consumma-
ton of plans for one or more great
transcontinental trunk lines extending
from tide water on the Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico to Puget Sound, or
other points on the west coast. The
Importance of this great movement
can not be underestimated,a and not the
least of the motives which prompt it
is the necessity for organized opposi-
tion among the overland roads to the
Nicaragua canal.

50 81. In addition to this saving there
was the greater speed of the automo-
bile, which enabled it to accomplish its
work in an hour and third less time
than the horse-drawn wagon required.
But the horse costs money to keep,
even on the idle days, while the auto
mobile costs nothing. Reducing all
the figures to one basis, it was found
that the automobile delivery wagons
could be operated at saving of about
twenty per cent. This fact is enough
to cause it's general Introduction into
the large cities for the use of stores
and jobbing houses 1t will
also have It's effect in displacing
horses in public conveyances. In the
cities of the east the autom obile Is al
ready taking the place of the old style
carriages among the wealthier people,
and the cost is being reduced steadily
so that within a few years it will be
possible to secuse good automobile at
about the same price as q horse and We
hicle of corresponding grade now costs.
SoIquickly do we accept innovations
during these days of quick movement
that persons seeing an automobile on
the street for the first time hardly
turn their heads, although in some
respects the invention is more wonder
full than the electric street car.

EXPERIMENTS have just been con-
cluded in New Jersey with view to as
pertaining the relative cost of running
delivery wagons with horses and with
automobiles. It was found that a de-
livery wagon covering forty-two miles

each travelling twenty-one miles, cost,
assuming that driver and a boy &C.

and that under similar conditions

PRESIDENT SCHURMAN has given to
the press statement regarding the
Philippine situation which is reprint
ed today. The points therein contain
ed have been i'm pressed upon the
mind of every reader, but coming
from this official source it is we'll to
place them again before the public,
in brief and comprehensive form. The
three most important points
to insist upon are, first, that
only single tribe out of
about sixty is engaged in war
fare against the United States.
Second, that there is no Philippine
nation. Third, that under the treaty
with Spain the United States ia oblig
ed to secure and maintain peace and
order in the whole archipelago. By
keeping these points before our minds
constantly our path in the orient
seems clearer.

After The Tax Dodgers.

The county commissioners have
entered into a contract with r. G.
Hargrave, manager of the Whit
man Abstract Co., and attorney e.
X. Hanna, to examine into what
the board believes illegal compro-
misses and cancellations OF taxes
during the past nine years, and also
the lands and other property which
have escaped taxation within the
past five years, list and place them
in the assessors hands for enroll
ment. The county is to prosecute
the cases where necessary through
the court of last resort, assisted by
Mr.. Hanna. They take as their
compensation rs per cent. OF all
taxes so collected. Mr.. Hargrave
gives q bond of $4,000 to the coun-
ty to indemnify it against loss in
costs in cases where the suits are
losts. 1t is believed the action will
add $4,000 to 100000 to the rev.
enue of tie county.-Oakesdale

Charles Davis Drowned.

The liieless body of Charles Da-
Wis, a Swede, was found in Wilson
creek on the old Scott ranch, about
three miles below town, and was
brought to J. II. SCOTS undertake
ing parlor Saturday morning. He
and his brother George have been
working the old Frisbee ranch for
Mrs. W. A. Bull this season.
Charles took down with the
humps and drove into town with
his brother to consult the doctor
on Friday, after which they re-
turned to the ranch. At supper
he was missing and search was
started at once, but it was not un-
til Saturday about 4 a. m. that his
body was found. 1t is believed by
some that he was delirious; others
hink the pain drove him to sui
eide.
He was 80 years old and un-
married. He was highly esteemed
by all who knew him. No inquest
was held. He was buried from
the NJ. e. church Sunday.

Terrific Indictment.

Editor Scott, of the Portland Ore
gonian, the leading Republican
paper of the Pacific coast, pays his
respects to President Mckinley in
the following language:
"rhe Mckinley administration
has made most disgraceful appoint
ments to office at the behest of un-
scrupulous politicians. 1t has be-
trayed the civil service to the spoils-
men, paralyzed the organization Of
the army violated it's most sacred
trust and discredited American in
telligence and valor in the eyes of
the civilized world. Ina time for
courage it has quailed. In a time
for decision it has hesitated. In a
time for action it has delayed. In
a time for honest dealing it has
paltered and equivocated. Its
policy has been to drift; it's aim has
been to placate everybody, however
unworthy, and cater to everything
however mischievious; it's course
has been to sacrifice any and every
vital interest of the nation on the
altar of partisan and personal
politics."
