health resorts of the south and will
not be far behind as a commercial city.
| The city has just issued $4,000. 900. in
| bonds for sewerage and street inn
provements and when the money is
expended there will not be a cleaner
city in the south than New Orleans.
Ii has had a wonderful increase in the
amount of cotton handled this year and
| hopes to hold il. OF course much of
| this is due to the misfortune Calves
! ton suffered in the early season but
good increase has been seen from
other fields"
Mr.. Kondert says that all the staple

w. j. Cox of the Riverside Here
| ford company left last night for Kan
sas City. to be gone a week.
Il have a case before the United
States treasury he said last night.
! that is taking great deal of my at
tention | shipped a great many cattle
to Cuba last winter and many of them
came from Mexico. In bringing cattle
through the states we have to give
bond and 1t is over this bond that a
wrangle has come up. On one oc-
casion | shipped about a thousand
head and bonded them here in Ell
Paso. When they got to Galveston
there were 40 head less than | brought
into the country and the treasury agent
asked for the forfeiture of the bond.
The cattle had died en- route and
was determined not to pay duty on
dead cattle so appealed to the treas
ury department at Washington. On
the ruling of the treasurer great
deal depends for the shipment of cat
tie from Mexico into this country is
becoming a great business"
The smelter trust formed by the
Guggenheimers and the FL PaSo smell
ter will result for good in this terri
tory" said Joseph Qualey of Chihua-

here in this city. | was in New York
last week and talked with Mr.. Jaycox.
president of the Federal company. and
learned from his that the company
would build just as soon as the ma
chinery could be shipped. Ell Paso is
the most desirable place in the west

metal market remains as high as it is
now FL Paso will profit more than any
city in the United States

Il have had an eye on FL Paso for
years. said the doctor TO a Herald
reporter last night. and my first pre-
diction is already becoming true. | was
in this city fifteen years ago and then |
predicted that Ell Paso would he a
handsome city and ! have returned |
to find IL true. | consider this city the |
most favorable place on the continent |
for consumptives and the most health |
full in every other respect. 1t is ex-
well located for great |
city and | am here to- watch its pro-
sress and reap some of the benefits.
The progressive policy of the Uni

N the diplomatic and consular service |
IF the country everywhere" said l..
of London. England. at the
)rndorfT yesterday. Heretofore the |
and ministers of this coun
ry paid little attention to the sub
ects of the United States who We're

now it is different. / have noticed this
in Mexico. \ few years
can who was in Jail there for a trifling
,ffense and many had to lie in Jail for
months without trial. This is not the

nto trouble in Mexico the consul is
'eady to do all he can to get him out.
This is the result of broad views all
