Albuquerque citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1907-1909, 1909-04-15

Late news from places along the
route the Albuquerque trade excursion
will travel indicates that there will be
something doing every minute from
start to finish. The boys wearing the
white caps will be the guests at many
receptions and banquets and if many
of them don't return with bad cases
OF gout, it will not be the fault of the
people along the road.
Manager Matson this morning re-
ceived letter from the people of
Mountainair protesting against the
short time the excursion is scheduled
to stop there. The letter says that
the people of Mountainair want to
give the White Caps good feed of
doughnuts and coffee, with real cream
and other home dainties. They also
have a little program of entertain
ment they wish to carry out.
News was received over the tele'
phone yesterday to have the excur-
sion stop at Magdalena about meal
time.
1--WE want to give you something to
eat" the voice said over the phone.
But the big doin's" seem to be
scheduled to take place at FL Paso.
1t may be a banquet at the st. Regis
hotel and a reception afterwards, or
it may be something else. j. A. Dra-
per. president. and G. A. Kinne, sec
retary. of the El Paso chamber or
commerce, telegraphed Travling Pas
senger Agent Garside last night that
they would meet the xcursion train at
Las Cruces Saturday afternoon ana
pilot il into the city of FL Paso. This
is little more courtesy than the
White Caps anticipated, but it has
been agreed among them to refuse
nothing that is offered them on the
trip. The first White Cap that re-
fuses so much as 4 cigar will be
pinched and fined by the court that
will he organized az soon as the train
is i'm motion.

comissary department have been very
diligent the past several days and
there will be car load of good
things to eat and drink in the bag

Romero Sign company has donated
two large banners for the baggage
car. There will be no banners on

run through the yards.
