Mr.. Davis said:
"Pye been 10 Switzerland, at Aetna
and otter European mountains; at
Pixies r. ak and other places in this
country aud Mexico; but nowhere
have | seen the rugged, picturesque
grandeur of the country we nave Just
visited. Ii was a revelation; the untold
ing ola panorama go grand and won
derful that only master OF the Ian
Duace can 90 il ever faint justice.
Then that railroad. 1t is the nerviest
Dieca of work | ever saw; marvellous,
il msy well be called. Any one who
has the opportunity to see that won
derfuI piece OF engineering and fails to
take advantage of 1t and to enjoy that
aerial picture must be an enemy OF
progress and the subiims In nature.
Messrs Overmau and Allison were
equally as enthusiastic. "A man
cannot die at Cloudcroft, unless he Is
one of those contrary beings who
float up stream mply because such
conduct is opposed to the laws OF
nature" was the epigramstic ex-
preston of Mr.. Allison.
Mr. Small was thinking about IL

FL Psso this morn1ng.

pressions gained in conversation he

Is the most delightful place L have yet
visited in this country aealthIui, In
yigorstine, picturesque and marvellous
in scenic beauty-brlehy these are my
sentiments in describing the beautiful
place. The mechanical engineering is
also a most scientific piece OF modern
railrosding.
..Ei Paso is happily blessed with a
com binstion of rich advantages, being
in the midst of almost everything
naturet provides for the usefulness of
mankind Mining in all It's branches,
stock raising, lum oering, grand, sub
lime climate, and forests of gigantic |
picturesqueness surrounding your city |
Surely this il an assured indication of
what Is to come to your thriving, push |
ing and never cessing energetic town. |
MY last visit here was some three
months ago and L see most decided |
Improvement On all sides and !
In all branches of Industry |
Ell Psso to my mind will be |
the greatest city in Texas and not /
very long time distant" /
Mr. Evans in speaking of affairs gen
orally in connection with his road said:
In every department things are
moving nicely and business increasing
steadily" The assistant general man
ager is an unpretentious gentleman
and If his courtesy and pleasantness of
disposition and gentlemanly instincts
count for anything he must certainly
be most popular official with his en-
ployers and all alike. Mr.. Evans Ia

child and will probably leave Ell Paso
10 his private car 400 tomorrow morn
