| CARLSBAD. n. NJ, Jan. 22.-The
echoes of the great carnival at Ell Paso
have reached the Pecos Valley and
| the only ones who regret to hear the
sound are those who were not fort
innate enough to attend. 1t appears
here and it sounded the keynote TO
the success of the Great Southwest.
that sort of a note that will not die
out suddenly either, but keep on re-
verberating, so to speak, and let peo-
pie of the north and east know for all
time that Ell Paso and its neighborhood
possess not only the climate but the
natural advantages that are calculated
to build an empire and maintain it,
People, who today returned from the
carnival, gasped when asked if there
were many there Many" said one
granger from the Pecos, 81 was suf-
located twice in one block Others
said it was absolutely impossible to
see the entire celebration and that they
had to content themselves with seeing
what they could. This young and grow
ing giant has displayed his strength
and his neighbors hope that he will
lend something of his surplus energy
to building up his neghbors' houses
and thereby strengthen his own. This
is word for the Pecos Valley, it is a
word also for the whole country that
looks to Ell Paso. the coming city, as
the arbiter of the destinies of the

big canning factory are in sight The |
streets, which months ago appeared |
'nly fairly frequented are now dense
With people; people of all kinds, health
investors, hunters, and in
act all classes that are attracted to a
lew and growing community. Hunt

where arc the most numerous class of
'isitors, for the game in the valley this
ear has been abundant and of all
inds and classes. 1t is nothing for a

TRANCE to say, however, the little teal,

bsent this season. The Mallard, the
idgeon, the sprig-tail, and the red :,
