the meeting OF the Five Million club
continue to arouse vain regrets in
the minds of their stay-at-home
friends by stories OF the delights
OF the trip and of the entertain
ment. The affection developed by
the Amarillo for the Texans down
on the Rio Grande was fully recip-
rocated and I'll Paso papers have
many bouquets to throw at the Wis
itors from the plains city, Some ex-
tracts from FL Paso papers have
been published before and others are
given here:
Made Lasting Impression.
The Amarillo delegates TO the FL
Paso convention OF the 5000, 900
club left last night for their 500
mile triphome in special over the
Texas and Pacific, and when their
train pulled out OF the Union station
few minutes before midnight 1t car
ried away from this city delegation
that has made an impression OF I'll
Paso, one that will not soon be for
gotten.
Mayor Will A, Miller, Jr., head OF
the delegation, is one of the men 1t
Is always a pleasure to meet, a man
who leaves an impression OF whole
some sincerity. He Is a young man,
this mayor, chock full OF energy, and
wise In the ways Of the world, ex-
perienced for his years and devoting
the best OF his abilities to the well
fare OF his town. One need only to
listen to him for very few minutes
before one is convinced that Amarillo
is the town, now and for the future.
Two Points of the Star.
The five points OF the star, repre-
senting the Lone Star state, he said,
might stand for several othet towns,
but of those he was not certain.
However, 1t was fixed in his mind
that Amarillo, 500 miles from III
Paso, but still in West Texas, GER
tainly WAS one OF the other points,
OF El Paso, Mayor Miller had only
the best to say. Eleven years ago,
he said he had been In this city, and
when he returned this time he failed
to recognize The place. Your build
ings, your paved streets, your prog
ress generally. and above all your
people," he declared enthusiastically,
have impressed me wonderfully
And these impressions have affected
my people--they have given them an
idea OF what they are to do in their
own town"
Amarillo Progress.
Amarillo, the hustling town OF the
Panhandle, has made wonderful
strides, strides of seven leagued
giant, in the past few years. AS an
illustration in the last sixteen months
an average OF one mile Of concrete
pavement has been laid in the town,
and for the next three months, before
their winter sets in, this average will
be helped.
All of the Amarillo delegation, de-
lightful people, were enthusiastic
about their stay in FL Paso. Sheriff
Cornell, big, hearty, bluff and good
natured man that he is, expressed
his thoughts on the subject simply
and forcibly. All of them were car
ried away with the city, and their
reception here.
Cornell Wanted a Horse.
In the afternoon yesterday the en-
tire delegation visited JuareZ and.
went to the bull fight. They were
telling last night a joke on Sheriff
Connell. 1t was told that when one.
of the wild bulls of the ring had at
tempted to Jump the barrier between
the ring and grandstand the sheriff
from Hereford had got out of ais
seat and made a break for a safe
place. Sheriff Connell explained his
move by saying that he was without
his horse.
Enthused about El Paso and over
flowing with good things to say about
their entertainment, the jolly visitors
left the most delightful memory Of
their visit to remain with the people
of FL Paso.
The Graceful Stand Of Amarillo.
Practically is the Amarillo dele
CATION to be given credit for the po-
sition their people took in the selec-
ton OF the next convention place for
the Five Million club. When they
had the vote all their way, with fif-
teen out of sixteen OF the board OF
governors pledged to their town, and
