BIG TIME COMING
And Never In All the History
Of the Great Southwest
Have Such Things
Been Done.

The Midwinter Carnival executive
committee. at It's meeting last night
adopted a novel resolution.
1t provides that no young lady in
the city shall receive as a caller any
young gentleman who does not wear
carnival button on the lapel of his
coat.
Committeeman Hay was the author
of this resolution and it passed with
whoop, for the committee has been
assured time and again that the ladies
are with them and they know that
the girls of the town will abide by the
terms of the resolution and see to its
enforcement.
There were ten members of the COM
m,ttee present at last nights meeting
out of a possible fifteen. but so large
men who have lodged committees
and committee meetings all their lives
are full of carnival red fire and so
bent on making the celebration a sue
cess that they are willing to serve al
most in any capacity.

The meeting was a lengthy one;
much business transacted and much
discussion INDUCED in.
The program committee reported
the result of its labors as outlined in
The Herald of yesterday and it was
adopted as to the main features, but
some of the details are yet to be ar
ranged for which more time was al
lo-ed.
The railroads and others have been
so clamorous for the program that ii
chief attractions of the carnival as
they will appear on the program and
let trivial matters go over until later.
Several citizens had submitted sug-
gestions for the consideration of the
program committee and one or two
more designs for seals had been re-
ceived.
Among the suggestions was one from
John Connors who proposed a fire
mans tournament and the organiza-
ton of a carnival club.
Col. Clark proposed that a miners
drill be held as one of the features of
the celebration. but Mr.. Pitman ex-
planned tnat if such was given it
would have to be on a raised platform
Tor the crowd to see it.
A lady aronaut now in the city
proposes to entertain the populace with
leaps.
Park Pitman proposed that in adver-
Using the carnival abroad it would DE
better to give prominence to the Mount
Franklin eruption and Juarez bull
lights. two things which few other
of which would attract people from
distant points.
Julius krakauer surmised that the
main features of the midway should
be Mexican pottery and feather work
ers who would attract much attention
from tourists.
Senator Turney remarked inat he
had just completed a tour of the state
and at various points persons who
had attended the teachers convention
were so enthusiastic in regard to El
Paso that it would be no troubl. on
earth to bring another crowd here. lie
said the railroads should offer a 81
rate.
At this juncture rates to be offered |
by the various roads were discussed |
at length. The chairman reported that |
at least SO rate from Texas points !
would be offered; that the S. p. (westl |
had as yet made no concessions. but |
the Santa Fe would offer a low rate
and the Mexican Central Il low rate
from Chihuahua. Some one wanted 10 |
know the possibility of getting low
round trip rate to- Mexico City for the
benefit of the visitors. but DR.. Stark
said thus far his efforts had not been
crowned with success.
