Monte Vista, Colo,
On our way to Mexico We laid over one
day at FL Paso. Texas, city OF about
5000 American and half Mexican
people. We enjoyed the warm climate
and strange sights of the city hugely. In
the afternoon we took a street ear and
crossed the Rio Grande river into the
city OF Juarez, Mexico. Visiting the
stores and shops first, we were surprised
at the low prices of articles on sale.
Silks, linens. clothing, blankets, Mexican
drawn work and notions imported or
made in Mexico are extremely cheap.
My wife bought pair OF kid gloves Just
before leaving Monte Vista for 81 10:
equally as good were offered for 20 cents
in JuaFez, and other goods in same pro
portion. | am still puzzled over this
state of affairs as have been assured
many times by the Monte Vista mer.
chants that they were getting poor all
the time on account of the big freight
bills.
Cuidad Juarez was in holiday attire
great festival in honor OF "A Saint was
in progress, and we were there to take it
in. We went into the old church-40O
years old. 1t was entirely deserted. \
holy calm and stiffness pervaded. We
removed our hats and stood long gazing
at the life-size figure OF the Christ hang
ing upon the cross. We had been told
to 90 around behind this old church and
we made our way directly to the rear OF
the big building and oh what change.
counted IS gambling tables in full
swing surrounded by men. women and
children. Nearly everything was in the
open air and there were many gaines
that were not played on tables. II
looked To me- as though everyone was
betting that could reach the tables.
Stacks Of silver and gold we're in sight.
Most OF the men carried revolvcrs or
knives. There were dozens of Mexican
men and women with large wooden trays
Of fruits and candies on their heads NOV
ing about through the crowd calling
their wares in u strange tongue. Most
Of the men were poems. wearing tall
sombrcros and bright colorcd Mexican
blankets.
The money question is a little pee ulinr
down here and might say satisfactory
to an American coming into the country.
At Juarcz | paid eco for Pullman
berth To Aqun- Calicntes, giving tn.
agent clio American bill and he gave
me back sl6jO Mexican money. At
Moctczuma, where we had dinner gave
the Chinaman an American silver dollar
to pay for two OF us and got back a Mex
lean silver dollar as change.
To n frozen citizen from Colorado this
climate is a paradise. There has been
no frost here this winter and there IL NO
snow in sight ON the mountains. Flow
crs ARE plentiful in the parks and gardens
and oranges aud other fruits are still
hanging an the trees. Strawberries, To
