A MOVEMENT ON FOOT FOR
A GREAT AUDITORIUM.

To Be Built in This City and to Make
This Place the Mecca of All State
and Southwestern Conventions.
o. II. Baum. of the Carnival asso-
citation has received a dispatch from
Senator w. w. Turney saying that he
heartily endorses the plan to secure a
large convention hall or auditorium in
FL Paso that would afford ample faci-
lities and render this more of con-
vention town.
This is one of Mr.. Baum's pet pro-
jects and he has been laboring for
some time to put it through. He coll
ceived the idea of establishing here
one of the best convention halls in the
state and then making an effort to Sc
cure all public gatherings possible.
With her matchless climate and un-
rivaled reputation for entertaining
visitors. Mr.. Baum believes that FL
Paso, if provided with a suitable con-
vention hall. would soon take her prop
er station among the cities of Texas
and become the Mecca of all delega-
tons. whether those of political
gathering or of a Christian Endeavor
With this idea in view
he has worked hard on the project and
is now quite hopeful of success, since
he has met with encouragement on ev-
cry hand
1t is proposed that the convention
hall be built by citizens of Ell Paso, the
chamber of commerce. the clubs. ami
all kinds of associations.

A SMALL FIRE ON Ell PASO
STREET LAST NIGHT

A fire alarm last night at ten o'clock
called the department to South Ell Paso
street where a small adobe house had
a little blaze The new block recently
built by A. Goodman was thought to
be in danger but prompt work by the
department saved the building with
very little damage.
The fire is thought to have original
ed in pile of alfalfa in the rear of the
adobe house and the cries of the Mex
lean women led many to believe for a
while that some person was perishing
in the flames. But such was not the
case. The damage was slight with no
insurance.

Exhibition

animals as were ever seen at a cattle
show. Gloucas, a famous bull, is In
the herd here and he is one of the
largest and finest in the United states.
E. H. Estes, also of Midland, Texas,
has a fine herd of sixty-four head OF
Hereford bulls, all yearlings, which
he has brought here for SALE He has
one of the best ranches in Texas and
was also a pioneer in the fine cattle
business in western Texas. His cattle
are all thoroughbredS and as pretty a
herd as there is in the collection. Mr.
Estes is here himself to look after his
cattle and is kept busy showing them
to enquiring buyers.
The Sugar Maple Stock farm at Lee
ton, Mo-. is also represented. He mas
eleven head of full blooded Durham
bulls and fourteen head of Herefords-
These Durhams are the only cattle M
that breed in the exhibit except few
half breeds in the range department.
They are in the best trim and are a
pretty herd. The Herefords from this
farm are also full blooded and among
the best cattle in the country.
III. L. Newman & Sons, of Ell Paso,
have the only range herd in the eX-
hibit. They are half breed cattle and
compare very we'll with the full blood
ed stock of the other companies. They
clearly show what it is worth to a
ranchman to buy good stock for they
have had not feed except the grass OH
the ranch and are far better than the
average range cattle of this section.
There are sixteen head in this collec-
ton and they are all fat and in good
condition.
AS a whole the cattle exhibit can
be classed as the pride of the Carni-
val. There is 100000 worth of cattle
in the pens and they would be cool
sight to any one. No exhibit ever
held in Texas had so many head of
such fine stock and the cattlemen are
delighted with their success.
In the live stock exhibit are also
some of the best horses and jacks in
the United States.

than any previous epidemic.
There are many cases of grip pneu-

The banquet brought out the fact
that the FL Paso Aerie contains some
wonderful talent. 1t also brought out

The live stock exhibit has developed
into something enormous and the finest
stock in thecountry are now in Ell
Paso for the occasion.
The parade which was scheduled
for Friday morning. has been postpon
ed until Saturday morning on account
of the arrival of more stock than the
committee was looking for They
now have 1874 head of cattle, and 81
horses and Jacks. The cattle exhibit is
the largest ever seen in Texas and more
of the fine herds and best breeds Will
be represented than have ever been
present at a cattle show in this state
The largest herd in the collection is
the Herefords from the Riverside farm
at Ashland, Nebraska. extensive men
ton of which has already been made
in The Herald. They come from the
largest stock farm in the world ami
are as good cattle as can be found
on the continent.
One of the best herds here and prob
ably the best in Texas is the Here
fords from the ranch of Scharbauer
Bros, at Midland. They have twelve
head of fine bulls and calves that rank
among the best cattle in the entire
country. Mr.. Scharbauer has been in
the Hereford business at Midland for
eleven years and is known to every
stock man in the state. He was the
first man in Texas to introduce this
breed of cattle and has collected his
herd from all the most noted stock
farms in the United States and I'M
ported some of them from England.
He engaged in the business when fine
cattle were not known in Texas and
the large prices asked for them pre-
vented sales for many years The cattle
men look on the subject of breeds diff
ferently now, however, and to John
Scharbauer belongs most of the credit
for effecting this change. He has been
identified with the cattle interests of
the state for many years and now
owns one of the best ranches in the
country. He has 1000 acres in mis-
home ranch besides the cultivated
farm on which he raises the HerefordS
and his ranch cattle have been well
bred until now he commands a better
price fer his stock than most any
ranchman in Texas
None of Mr.. Scharbauer'S cattle here
are for sale as he only came down to
help out the exhibit and to try and
get the cattlemen of this section i'll =
terested in Hereford cattle. In the herd
he has here is the famous bull, Sir
James, which is one of the finest bulls
in the country. He is the son of Cor
rector. owned by Sotham at Chillicothe,
Me-, an animal which could not be
bought for 100000.
w. ID Watts, of the firm of Estes &
Watts, at Midland, is also here with
one of the finest herds of Herefords in
Texas. He has seven head of bulls,
mostly calves, which are as beautiful

everything Known
in Music.

THE NEW YEAR
Finds us striving as we al
ways have in the past to
maintain a strictly up-to-date
Music Department in our big
store. That we have succeeded
is evidenced by the phe-
nominal increase in our piano
sales for 1900. Our trade in
small instruments, sheet mu-
sic and musical merchandise
for the same period, nearly
quadrupled that OF any other
year in our business history.
We ask ourselves with par
donable pride, what are the
causes? The people, not only
those of our own city, but in
all that territory of which
Ell Paso is the trade center,
know that they can get here
everything known in music.
That they can buy as cheap
here as in the eastern mar
ket. That we never misrep-
resent any goods. That our
Customers interest is our in
terest. That we will always
be found striving to please
you goes without saying.
