From every portion of the southwest
and from many of the large cities let.
ters of inquiry are coming in by the
dozen and if any man has an idea
that the secretary is not working lei
him drop in at Carnival headquarters
Iany moment from a. m. to 10 p. m
and examine the magnitude of the
work every detail of which the secre-
tary has to keep at his fingers ends.
There are people to talk to about
this thing ar that, orders for buttons
to be filled and letters by the dozen
to rattle off on the typewriter.
| Not only has the Carnival motto
We Will, Ell Paso 1901" made hit
in this city but 1t is creating an inter-
est abroad as is fully demonstrated by
letters received from various places.
People want to know I'VE WIFI what?
and take the trouble to write to find
out and satisfy their curiosity.
AS an example of this Krakauer
Zork & Moye have been affixing a
I'VE VIII stamp to each business let
ter sent out from their Office. The
result is beginning to be felt already.
Today the firm received letter from
Fort Worth firm which ended as fol-
lows:
Permit me to suggest that you do
not perplex me with the hieroglyphics
which appear in red ink on your let
ter, which read We Will, Ell Paso,
1901
What do you mean by this?
There are too many interpretations
possible for me to translate the un-
written words.
IF there is anything that Ell Paso
undertakes to do She certainly will
do it: and | would like to know in ad-
vance what you refer to.
Hoping to see you at your Midwin-
ter Carnival, etc"

We Will what?
Up to the present moment there has
never been a movement of any kind
in this city that was carried forward
with greater ease or in which the orig
inal plans worked out with greater pre-
cision that has the Carnival cam
paign.
Those who conceived the idea plan
ned well and those who undertook to
carry out these plans have thus far
met with absolute success. There has
not been single hitch or conflict of
authority and all the subcommittee
are working in perfect harmony. sub
servient to the executive board, but
not interfered with or hampered.
The outlook was never brighter for
the ultimate success of the Carnival
movement than it is at the present
moment. The people have fully dem
onstrated that they want the Carnival
and business and moneyed men by the
score have assured the committee that
they are ready to contribute hand
somely whenever called upon for funds
The outlook is bright and the va
ward to one common objective point
rious committees are working for
'Of course II is absurd to compare
Ell Paso to Chicago" said a business
man this morning but | know from
experience that the Chicago committee
that conducted the worlds fair move
ment was at The end of three months
Just where the Ell Paso committee is
at the end of three weeks The Ell
Paso committee has indeed accom-
plished wonders"
