most exciting. Like most battles the
rumors were worse than the war,
teachers and classes were conveyed
to the library under heavy guards.
This added to the fun, aud the out

matters of information yet desirable

tenn and also an estimate of the phys
ical worth of the property now owned
by the present water company.
The International mas always been
in favor of municipal ownership OF
the water service Of the city, when
ever the time came for bringing this
about AS stated by Mr.. Bullock, the
bond buyer, there is only one way
open to the city to own its water sys-
tenn and that is by the purchase OF
the present one. 1t has been demon
strated in the past that it is almost
impossible to sell municipal bonds for
the purpose of installing a water sys-
tenn in opposition to one already on
the ground Happily, now, it looks
that the price here is meeting with
almost universal approval and this be-
ing the case, there should be no de-
lay in closing this municipal owner
ship proposition. The deal may be a
bargain for the Douglas Improvement
company, but the fact still remains
that it is much better bargain for
every water consumer in the city, or
will be in the near future.

Ell PASO, Sept. 1-(Special.)-
The Wells-Fargo Express company
which for nearly thirty years has
been the most prominent common
carrier" in Mexico, has been excluded
from the country, according TO an ex-
press company official.
Mexico for Mexicans," it is said,
has brought about the present condi-
ton. The transfer of the Wells-Fargo
interests to the Mexican National Ex-
press company, government con-
cern, took place yesterday.
A. Christensen, vice president and
general manager of the Wells-Fargo
Express company, arrived in Ell Paso
Saturday night from Mexico City, with
his secretary, E. E. Bryant, and stop
ped at the Sheldon over night. He
took the Southern Pacific train for
San Francisco today. Mr.. Christen-
son superintended the transfer to the
Mexican company.
All the positions on the express
cars and in express offices in the
future will be given to Mexicans in
stead of Americans, who were chiefly
employed by the Wells-Fargo people.
Over two thousand Americans hold
positions given to natives. 1t is the
the American express company's op-
Grating in Mexico, and these men, 1t
is said, will be thrown out and the
positions given to natives. 1t is the
announced intention of the Mexican
government to gradually do away
with Americans who hold positions
under the Wells-Fargo company.
The new express company has a
twenty year charter which, it is said,
will be extended indefinitely. The
taking away of the WeIls-Fargo inter
ests was practically at the option OF
the government and the express COM
pany had no appeal if they desired, 1t
is said. The new company, according
to Mr.. Martin Davis, the local mana
ger Of the Wells-Fargo company, will
work in conjunction with the old com,
pany.

Since the meeting of the city coun-
Gil at which bids were received for
the purchase of s325,OO0 in municipal
water bonds and the sale consummat-
ed, subjected of course to the voting
OF the bonds at an election for that
purpose, there has been a general
discussion OF the proposition by the
residents cf Douglas. The action OF
the council has been generally ap-
proved. When the bond bids we're re-
ceived an option from the Douglas
Improvement company was also re-
ceived in which the present water
system was offered to the city tor
S225,000 and there has been no OBJ
lection to this price further than ex-
preston here and there it was pay
ing the company more for the plant
than it had cost the present owners.
But at the same time agreement
seems to be universal that when the
worth of this water system to the
city is taken into consideration that
the price is not exorb.tant. said
one man yesterday: 81 have made
up my mind to support the proposed
bond issue and purchase of the plant
of the D. l. company, not but what
beleve the price is too b gh. but be-
cause / believe at that price the city
will be able TO make an important
saving to the people in the matter OF
the price of water"
