TURNER WAS TICKLED.

z. p. Turner. general passenger
agent of the L. IL p, left for his home
Saturday night after in the Carnival.
When asked about how the Carni-
val impressed him. Mr.. Turner said.
The Carnival is all right. The crowd
while perhaps not so large as that
which attended the teachers conven-
tiou in June, is probably better one
. for Ell Paso. l do not intend any re-
lection upon the crowd that at
tended the convention, but the cheap
rate certainly brought a class of people
who do not spend much money. why,
many of the June visitors brought
their lunches along with them. The
Carnival visitors are mostly monied
people and have spent money in Ell
Paso Iavishly, hence from financial
standpoint the Carnival is much bet
ter for Ell Paso than the teachers con-
vention.
Il am ticlSled over the weather we
have had for the Carnival. have been
more worried on that question than
any other You see / dwelt especially
in nv advertising on Sunshine in jan
uary' | advertised that feature above
them all. and l cannot express my de-
light with having my predictions to
come true.
There is no doubt but what Ell
Paso will have a Carnival or exposi-
will do my part towards making it
success
