The fighting bulls in Mexico are
very easy animals to tame" said j
| Mcmillan of San Antonio at the Shell
don. They fight like fury when they
are first brought from the ranches but
If they are kept in the pen for a week
they become tame and will not fight
at all. Theis is the reason so man
poor fights are pulled off at h Dor
der towns. At c.. p. Diaz some time
ago the company brought in a car o
of fine bulls ron Durango. They got
in on Friday and on Sunday they had
the best fight | ever saw. The G.. II.
& S. A. road ran an ~excursio there
from San Antonio the next Sunday
and the bulls from the same a re-
fused to fight at all. They had been
in the pens there fol- n week and were
perfectly tame. I advise o to have
the company in JuareZ to keep the
bulls out of town until they are ready
for the fight during the carnival week
and if you dom o will have poor
fights"
The people in north Texas are full
~ one hundre per cent better OFF thar

as bushel to the acre and wheat and
corn yielded better than for ten years.
Cotton was better han IL has been in
my recollection and / have been there
for thirty years. In many cases IL
made two bales to the acre when here
tofore a half bale has been a good av-
erage. The price was better than II
has been for ten years and everybody
has money to burn. / know many
farmers who even lacked h neces-
stiles of life last e n this year
have two and thre thousan dollars to
credit in the banks. Everybody
has money and hundreds of them will
spend some of II in FL Paso during the
big Carnival"
"El Paso is n great deal like Denver
in some respects" said Geo. j. Kindel.
a Denver manufacturer. last night.
1T is rapidly becoming a city in spite
Of the many adverse circumstances.
Denver has always had extremely high
rates and has lever had job
ber's rate but the merchants kept
ava until they built up
one Of the finest cities on the CONT
rent. FL Paso is following in Den
ver's tracks and will be a great city
III the near tutuTe- lnlS CITY has TIE
largest exclusive territory of any city
the United States and while you
nay not get cheap freight rates for !
ear you will surely keep ham
nering away and accomplish many
.hings that will help TO a this a
wonderful city. Every city in the
vest envies Ell Paso's position and no
off the sea coast has such a big.
-ich country to draw from as FL Paso
"It annoys me to hear uniformed
talking about the lawless ele-
lent in Mexico" said j. l.. Pierce. a
mining man from Chihua-
lua last night. II have travelled lion
III throug h toughest mountain
egions of the republic for several
ears and have never encountered the
asst danger from outlaws or common
There are many petty thieves
mt they are towards and will not
,other any one. There is more dan
,er from runaway teams in h United
than there is from outlaws in
feXico. That big scare about an In
ian raid last week was simply anus
ne. The Indians stole some corn to
at and two men drove them out of the
ountry. I know of many small fam
ilto hbfh6 t"thtN hiiit Atoih III
learest house Inc have been there for
ears ard ave never been molested
" outlaws. It is all nonsense.
here are not lea so many outlaws in
as there are in New York city
nd a man is perfectly safe to travel
yer the entire country alone" |
]. l.. Seamands of the Southern Pa
fife at Tucson. is at the Orndorff. Mr..
'eamands thinks FL Paso has the best
of any town in the west and
become a manufacturing city.
The rate or any raw material to FL
sale Mr.. Seamands. lis in
ignifican twhile the rate on mani
goods is enomous. If CAPT.
alists would go to manufacturing
Iere they could sell all the western
and no easterner could COM
with them. This fuss about rates
5 amusing. II is the err thing for
Il Paso If they would only take hold
4 it in the right way. Ell Paso is
ust in the edge of one of the finest
fields in the country n could
manufacture furniture of all kinds OF
goods cheaper than any town
