MIDMINTER CARNIVAL
Is Now Practically an Assured

| The possibilities Of the mid winter
carnival have never been more bright
than at the present time. The only
objection to the undertaking., the
neglect and evident unwillingness o.
Juarez to give her share of the
support, has been practically removed
and the affs air will be carried forward
with renewed impetus.
Mayor Ona:e OF Juarez stated tbi:
morning that SO far as Juarez was con
cerned the success of the affair was
assured. Mayor 0na,e said most posi-.
lively that Juarez would contribute her
po -tion of the money and moral sup
port
81 think the midwinter carnival an
assured fact" said the mayor. "There
is a committee wos King now among
the business men of my city, and 1
have no doubt but that their efforts
will be crowned with success. 1 am
confident that they will raise the neces-
sary amount of money for the affair. I"
1t wss also stated that the city coun-
Gil of Juarez would appropriate the
necessary amount of money If It could
not be raised In any other manner. 1t
Is not believed, however, that the
entire amount Of money which has
been decided as Juarez's part will
come out of the city's finances. Whatever
the business men do not subscribe,
however. il is learned on good authori-
ty, will be voted by the city council o.
Juarez.
The statement made by consul
Mal.eu yesterday at the reception to
ambassador Aspiroz, in which he said
that Senior Aspiroz was in hearty
sympathy with the movement to bring
the people living on the two sides of
the RIO Graude into closer relation
ship, and to demonstrate to the coun-
try a. large the manifold possibilities
of the valley of the Rio Grande, has
already had its effect, ard even after
SO short time, the movem ent in the
direction of the carnival seems to have
taken a new lease on life.
The fact that the Mexican ambas-
sador will lend his presence to the
ment Of the affair, and will attract the
attention of the entire country to the
fact that such an event is occurring.
1t is con nidently believed by those
m ost interested in the project, that the
carnival is now q certainty.
Speaking of the carnival today, one
of the most prominent men of Ell Paso,
and firm believer in the benefits to
bs deri we'd from the carnival, stated
that too much credit for the success Of
the carnival, when it has become q suc-
cess, could not be paid to Senor Fran
cisco Mallen, the Mexican consul, to
whom, he said. much of
the credit for the agitation
which has kept the affair before
she public of the two cities, wss due.
sSenor Mallen has shown himself to be
; friend of Ell Paso and a tireless work.
Or for bis own govsbpmspta at the same
lime, and 1 would like to sec this earn
val become Q great success, if for no
,ther reason than that Senior Mallen
sserves that reward for his labors."
There will certainly be . very cheap
.ailroad rate for the carnival, ten dol
srs or better.
Senor Mailen stated this morning
hat he had been informed that Juarez
would subscribe her share of the ex-
% use toward the carnival. TIE city
Ioross she river, according TO Sr.
dallen, is now as enthusiastic as is Ell |
oaso, and the Mexican consul is conf
lent that not only is the midwinter |
ar nival now an assured fact, but that |
+ will far exceed In importance and |
ON mmercial value the expectations
vhich have been held regarding
t hitherto.
