no end of inconvenience. 1t looks tc
me like they are expecting a panic OIL
something like it and will not let out
money at all. When you ask one OF
the bankers what is the matter he will
give you very poor answer and ex-
| plain that the banks cannot furnish
money for wild speculation. The press
| in this country does not get the situa-
| ton as it is for the banks there are
suppressing the truth
Inquiries are beginning to come in
about Cloudcroft,' said Hon. w. A
don last night. Il anticipate a great
year for that resort and it is doubtful
If all the new hotels can accommodate
the visitors. The new company hotel
will accommodate several hundred but
it will fall short of attending to the
crowds if the present prospects are
realized. All Texas is talking of com
ing and many people have already in
cluded Cloudcroft in their summer
trips. The railroad company has COW
cred Dallas. FIT. Worth, San Antonio
and Houston with advertising and have
received replies enough to guarantee
a crowd. Most of the people in Texas
have seen all of Colorado and now want
to see some other part of the world if
they can get the same accommoda-
lions and climate. Cloudcroft will
give better of both than Colorado can
furnish and will take many tourists
from the Rockies this season.
Department houses are fast crowd
ing the small merchant out of business
in the Cities said w. S. McCrow of
Dallas at the Sheldon. I'm Dallas there
are, now varv foU email on1
none of them are doing much business.
There are only four dry goods houses
of consequence in all that city and they
handle nearly everything the human
family can use. Sanger now handles
many things in groceries and can fill
orders for anything a man wants. 1t
is very nice to have the great houses
but it hurts town. They are u sue
cess, however, and they are all expand
ing. Sanger Bros. at Dallas are now
putting up five story building that
covers whole block in addition to the
nearly two blocks their house now COW
ers. They carry over a million dollars
worth of goods and of course no small
fellow can hold out against such an in
stitution.''
Julian M. BaSSett. a prominent
ranchman of Hale Center, Texas, is at
the Zeiger. Mr.. Bassett has been to
Arizona to buy cattle for his ranch in
the Panhandle. 1.-The cattle business is
in good condition in the Panhandle"
said Mr.. Bassett, land cattlemen are
jubilant over their prospects. The
grass promises to be good and as there
are not as many cattle in that section
as heretofore we anticipate better
range. Yes. we have heretofore favor
ed FIT. Worth as a convention town"
continued Mr.. Bassett. but Ell PaSo
has made a great reputation in that
line now and 1 think the boys would
like to come here once. Ell PaSO stands
a good chance of getting the conven-
ton and I would like to see it come
here"
