COPPERS HOLD

New York Market Still Weak-Buying of coppers Influenced by This Weak ness.
(By I. N. Kinsey)

GLOBE, February 2.--The New York market was again weaker this morning, but at the close was active and recov- cred well. The eoppers this morning were also rather inclined to dullness on account of the weakness in New York market, but at the close several of the better coppers showed great strength and little buying was sufficient to force prices up two or three points
 Globe Consolidated was in good de. mand today around SIS to 1850 and closed strong. A party of capitalists, consisting of five directors and stock. holders in Globe Consolidated, are due to arrive here about Thursday for an inspection of the property. Their report will no doubt be favorable one, and the stock is tipped for $25 within a very short time.
 We believe the liquidation in the New York market is practically over and that better market can be looked for next week. As soon as the New York market shows a settled condition eoppers will be in good demand imme- diatcly. We believe good coppers are

A Delighted Audience

The Columbia Opera company opened at the New Lyric last night for two weeks stand, changing program twice a week. The offering last night and for tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday is "Said Pasha. '' ~i
 This show is by far the best ever offered at the Lyric and those who at tended last night were surprised and delighted The music was catchy and tuneful, the costumes in keeping with the nature of the piece and the princi- pals strong and of good voice.
 Chas. N. Holmes as Terreno, Mex ican nobleman, pleased both with his acting and his singing, and G. NJ. Ray field, Turkish officer, was a strong second choice. Pasha' s daughter, Ser ena, as portrayed by Charlotta Gilman, was easily the star performer of the evening, although Clara Bagigan was very pleasing.
 Fun for the whole outfit was furnish ed by Ben Lodge and Robert Albright, and they won favor with the audience immediately. A few local hits, together with Albright's dancing, helped them strengthen their hold on the audience.
 A Buster Brown speciality by F. M. Fish and Lea Marlowe was well re ceiyed.
 All things considered, it is perform ance well worth seeing and their stay in Fl Paso should be marked by crowd ed houses. If any criticism is to be be made, it might be that the volume of sound is too great for the play house. = Fl Paso Herald.

 He telephoned to his business man ager asking if there was any employ. ment at the theater that could be found for her. Absolutely nothing-nothing at all. o
 Irving suggested that she might look after the cats. The manager telephoned back that there were already three wo. men looking after the cats.

MEETING OF FRUIT GROWERS
Elect Officers and Formulate Plans
for Ensuing Year. Association
Should Boom Paw Paw.

The Paw Paw Fruit Growers union
held an adjourned meeting at Shoe.
smiths hall last Saturday forenoon. The
following officers we're elected: Fred
Woodman, president; John Haworth.
secretary; John Free, treasurer; Bert
Gleason and Richard Hutchins, trustees
for three years; Thos. Tuckey and Ed.
Billsborrow trustees for two years: r. E..
Allen trustee for one year; board OF aud
itors, E. +. Parks for three years: ]. J.
Reilly for two years; e. G. Thayer for
one year.
The fruit situation was discussed and
plans made for the ensuing year. The
board OF trustees was requested to elm
mate the clause in the bylaws which
states that members shall ship all their
grapes through the Paw Paw fruit grow
ers' union. This has been one obIec-
tlonaole feature of the union as some
growers did not like to be.bound to ship
their grapes to any one place. The elm
lnatlon OF this clause will leave them
free to sell in the highest market. There
Is DO reason why the Paw Paw Fruit
Growers union should not be as great a
| success as the Lawtou union. Compari-
sons show that the prices obtained
through the Paw Paw union are as high
and in some instances higher than those
received through Lawton shipments,
and it is the duty of every Paw Paw
fruit grower to ship from Paw Paw pro-
vided they can get as much for their
product. Lawton is given credit for al
grapes shipped through their unions
and whenever the Paw Paw fruit grow
er ships through the Lawton association
he is booming Lawton to the detrment
OF his own town. III the fruit growers
OF Paw Paw would show the same en-
thusiasm and work for the interest of
Paw Paw as the growers of other towns
do for their home towns, there is no rea-
son, with the acreage that Paw Paw now
has, why this would not be as good a
shipping point as Lawton or any other
place. Think it over brothers and act
accordingly.

Praise Due Rural Carriers.

Reports come from some of the sur
rounding towns that the rural mail car
riers were unable to make their regular
trip last Tuesday on account of the
heavy fall OF SHOW. Not so with the
Paw Paw carriers. They each made
their regular trip es usual. 1t can also
be said OF them that they never, as yet,
have missed single trip since the free
rural delivery was established. Through
storm and sunshine, and at times when
the roads would seem to be we'll nigh
impossible, they have plodded on and
have never known what it was to turn
back
The Northerner wonders if the rural
patrons appreciate such devotion to duty
Probably, in this busy world, nobody has
yet found time to give the mail carrier a
single word OF praise or look OF encour
agement for work so we'll an faithful,
done.
