After six days OF persistent, en-
thusiastic boosting by team work for
Amarillo, the great Panhandle, and
the whole state OF Texas, the party
OF Amarillo delegates TO the FL Paso
meeting OF the Five Million club
came in yesterday evening still ready
with the noise that made Amarillo
famous last week,

The Booster Chorus.
All the way 10 FL Paso the party
made use Of It's opportunities for de-
veloping its individual vocal abilities
and harmonizing them into a booster
chorus that could make large noises
singly and in punches. c. NJ. Smyzer
who, the delegates say, trained for
the work under the influence of a
steam boat whistle, was pressed into
service as director OF the chorus, and
the delegates performed with such
perfect technique that the mention
OF Five Million cluN in Fl Paso will
recall noises like tnat Amarillo dele
CATION made.
Nothing hut Praise.
From every member OF the party
and on every occasion come the same
glowing reports of the treatment &c
corded the party by the Pass City.
The hospitality dispensed by the cit

spirit OF the visitors maize the whole
entire stay at the city a continuous
round Of enjoyment, No member
OF the party took the occasion in the

the days had at least forty-eight

be put off till they returned home.
Naturally sleep was used as sparingly
as possible so as to miss none Of the
good things Ell Paso had prepared for
the visitors.

Ell Paso Just treated us like broth
ers. Amarillo was the feature of the
meeting and they gave us special

Took the Right Of Way.
"Well. we Just took charge of
