who realize all of the benefits of the
town and have no word of gratitude
therefor. The discontents who winter
in Ell Paso nave otter no fine sense of
courtesy to forbid their eternal carp
ing, and Ell Paso simply has to endure
them. Ell Paso has many advantages
and attractions besides the superb eli
mate The society IS good, exclusive
but not unacceptable, reserved but not
cold; the mountain peaks and skies
make the scenery magnificent; the
markets afford excellent, fresh, and
appetizing foods; the shops are well
and tastefully filed, and the public Ii
brary keeps up with the best of the
newest books. Life can be made very
liveable in Ell Paso, granted a decent
appreciation and some slight effort to
make it So Ell Paso is entirely unlike
an eastern city which unlikeEess com
prises at once her advantages and
disadvantages, her inadequacies and
her charm. Wholesale unlimited crit
icism of the place is a boomerang that
returns and smites the would be crit
ic in the respect and good opinion of
his fellOwmen. A man who can find
no good or charm in our city blazons

A VIGOROUS MOVEMENT
FOR A UNION DEPOT

The chamber of commerce at its
meeting last night took action of the
most vital Importance to every busi-
ness and property interest. The cham
Der put itself squarely on record as OPP
posed to the further granting of rail-
way trackage privileges in the heart OF
the city, and as being DESTROYS of iur-
thering, in every possible way, the
establishment of joint terminal facili-
ties.
During the discussion last night it
was brought out quite decisively that
the feeling that has been slowly SIM
mering for a number of years has now
come to a boil. and that the people are
all ready to take definite stand on the
subject. about which there has been in
the past a good deal of difference of
opinion. The tone of moderation in
the meeting was remarkable. and cv-
eryone was anxious to avoid leading
the railroads to think that the action
was taken in any spirit of antagonisni.
Expression was given to the belief
build better depots in a very short time
and that the Southern Pacific would
be obliged to make its tracks perfectly
safe, and not SO unsightly as at pres
ent. Several members said that prompt
action in this matter on the part OF
the people now would be a real kind
ness and money saver to the railroads
as it would enable them to AVOID
trouble in the near future.
The committee appointed last night
1t is representative and competent 10
deal with the question. The commit
tee has most difficult job before it,
And the work must be done quickly
The steel is ready to forge. and not a
moment should be lost.
There is every indication that all tie
railroads are ready and DESTROYS to
make a change. A feasible plan. prop
erly presented to all the roads, with
stout argument and good financial
backing, would certainly receive the
honest consideration of all the roads,
and would probably bring about the
desired end. The plan should be de-
vised on large scale. 1t should be
laid out for the future. 1t should re
conceived in liberal spirit, and the
financial inducements should be male
most enticing. The railroads should
not be asked to do it all. The enter
prise is one Of vital interest to every
Ell Pasoan. A relief from the present

conditions means money in the pocket
of every business man and every tax
payer in the city.
Tonight the committee will present
formally to the city council the resolu-
lions adopted last night. This ought
to be enough of deterrent to prevent
the council from taking any action con-
trary to the spirit of the resolutions
without fully consulting the public.
The calling of a public meeting at
the earliest possible moment, to con-
suit with the committee with a view to
formulating some definite plan to be
submitted to the railroads, might be a
good idea. The Herald would like to
hear from the people on the subject,
and will be glad to print such commuu-
ications.
The work of the committee will IN
volve the perfection of a tentative plan
for union terminals, and probably the
submission of the plan, in person, by
duly delegated representatives of the
city, to the head officials of the various
railroads.
The work will require breadth of
view, foresight, accuracy of judgment.
and diplomacy. The committee is
equal to it, and the only thing now is
to get to work at once and work fast.

The LIBRARY TABLE
Written Especially For the HERALD.

The New England magazine for jan
uary besides an interesting historical
sketch. "reminiscences of Shays's Re-
belliOn, and an illustrated account OF
the city of Worcester, it's schools, uni
versities, libraries and public men,
contains two articles of particular in
terest to women-one on the Puritan
and Dress Reform, the other Public
Memorials to Women. The stern atti-
tude of the Puritans towards any vani-
ties of dress is explained by an account
of the excuses of fashion and vanities
in the latter part of the eighteenth
century when wigs, powders, enamels,
patches, ruffies, stays, feathers and
perfumes were SO prepOsterous that
honest men cried out at the artificiality
and extravaganza Of the day. The Pur-
itans were masterful men and their
day was an old fashioned one, SO their
decree against vanities and fashions
held good with their women folk and
the reform for a short while was car
ried to its extreme. The first law
makers of Massachusetts, set about to
eradicate and prevent vanity in the
new world by rigid laws. forbidding tie
use of silver, gold. and silk laces, Cir
dies and hat bands also of all cut
work and needle work, and also pro-
hibiting slashes except one for each
sleeve and one for the back After
two years. the law makers made an
other law against lace and one against
big sleeves. and in another few years
gold and silver buttons and silken
hoods and scarfs were legislated
against. In spite Of the earnest exam
pie however, vanity and fashions final
ly crept into the New England colo
mics and has waxed great up to and
through our own days. The account
of public memorials to women is par
ticularly interesting. Pictures are
given of the beautiful Tai Mahal, the
most exquisite memorial temple that
has ever been raised to honor a woman
the loving thought of Shah Jehan in
honor of his favorite wife.
The portraits of Cleopatra carved up
on the walls of a temple near Thebes
told of and many memorials of queens
and expresses are mentioned. There
are pictures of the various Victoria
statues in Canada and England ard
copies of the many Joan of Arc stat
ues. some representing her as the war
rior maid, others as the peasant girl.

ELECTION OF A NEW
BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

Last nights meeting of the char1-
Der of commerce was a highly success
full one. 1t was not large, but the MEN,
bers present evinced a degree of in
terest in the proceedings that has not
been shown before. There was a bus
mess atmosphere about the meeting
that was especially gratifying to all
the year to advance the interests Of
the chamber.
The meeting demonstrated one thing
admirably. That was the complete
success of the new plan for electing di-
rectors. Figures will prove it. At the
close of the meeting last night there
were twenty two members of the
chamber present. Twelve of these
would have been competent, under the
old rules, to elect a new board of di-
rectors. But at the annual election
under the ballot system, there were
votes cast; the highest num-
Der cast for any candidate was six
ty-nine, while no director who was
elected received less than forty-nine
votes. Only once in the history of
The chamber have as many as forty
nine members been present at a meet
ng, and that was when matter of
special and near interest to a large
number was under discussion. 1t has
proved impossible to get as many as |
hat to attend an ordinary business
Meeting. but under the new system |
nearly half the membership took part |
n the election.
The result is gratifying. The new
BOARD is a progressive and forceful one,
md there is reason to hope that The
lew year will mean growth and effec-
i've work on the part of the chamber.
o an extent that has not been realized
uring the year just closed.
The presidents report shows gord
cal accomplished, after all, but it can
OF be denied that the too conservative
lement has been allowed too much
wing in the board to permit the resii-
alton of the fullest possibilities of the
rganization. What the people want
D see is Things Done. If the policy of
ne board is forceful and always pro-
ressive and in the lead of all public
Movements, the chamber will not lack
Dr. support from the public.
AS an inaugural hint, The Herald
lay be pardoned for suggesting to the
ew board that nothing gives the pub
C such good impression of the faith
illness and ability of any director as
regular attendance at the meetings ;
( the board. The responsibility the
irectors assume is great, and among
ne most important of all is the duty
f self sacrifice in order to attend meet
ngs. and attend them exactly at the
our set.

Sports and
Sp0rtSmen

The base ball boys who remained in
the City of Mexico are still playing
under the name of Ell Paso, having
added to the team several old Ell Pa so
players. Widman is playing in the out
field with the reorganized team. They
played their first game on Sunday but
the score has not been learned. The
boys who returned last Saturday are
getting ready to report to their teams
for spring practice.

in Hot Springs that he would be here
to attend the Carnival and that he
would be glad to go six rounds in

The sports are taking hold of the mat

round bouts to take place some place
in the city. The Natatorium roof gar
den is spoken of as suitable place.
Arrangements are fast being COM
pleted for the coming foot ball game
with the University of Texas during
the Carnival. The boys are getting
into better condition than they were
for the other games played this season
and will be able to put up the game of
their lives when they meet the strong
aggregation from the state university
Although no direct word has been re-
ceived from the Texas team for several

ton of the line to that point marks a
stage in the great scheme which has been
under way for years to carry telegraph
lines by way of Fort Cudahy and l1a gle
City down the entire length of the Yukon

This has been so far accomplished that
there remains now only a gap of about
eighty miles in the detection from Van

between Hazelton and Telegraph Creek.
There has been teleg. aph connection all
