ton to all, but he is popular with all
with whom he comes In contact.

fession and this has been particularly
the case with the members OF the Eel

viously put himself In o judicial frame

GEORGE w. HUFFMAN-AssEsso


In order TO run a government
whether it be national, state or city
government, 1t is necessary to have
funds to run that government and to
get funds the people must pay taxes
TO maintain the government; it Is high
ly necessary to have a capable man
to assess the people proportionately
and to see that there are none that
are lodging their just liabilities and
the right man for the place in FL Paso
county is George w. Huffman. In

poratons and individuals, rich and
poor, and to see that the rich man does
not escape his share of the burden, and

FELIX MARTINEZ, ESQ.

PROFESSIONALLY more really great
things have come out OF the west than
any other one section OF the country.
They arc typical Of the wonderful Sec
tlon OF the country which has made
such rapid strides along the road OF
progress and development during mole
recent years, and which constitutes q
genuine empire within ITSELF the pro-
duct Of men great In many ways, but
the vast majority have been endowed
with enterprise. progressiveness and a
comprehension OF conditions and affairs
as broad as the vast prairies which
constitute a liberal part OF this rich
section OF the country. That this Is a
fact Is fully and indisputably evidenced
by the splendid achievements since
white men first came to the then will
derness, the rich mines which have re-
suited from their indefatlgable energies.
and the splendid cities which have
sprung into existence and now govern
the trade OF vast territory, and which
equal many commercial centers of vari-
Gus parts OF the globe. Naturally we
of Eel Paso believe that she Is the best
city OF the whole southwest, aud cer-
tainly she Is source OF much wonder
ment to visitors from all sections OF
the world, and Is destined to a still
brighter future. Oh that there is not
the slightest doubt, and like other great
things Of the west, she stands monu-
ment to the resourcefuness, ability and
progressiveness OF our truly great men.
1t Is indeed far cry from n trip across
the plains with an OK team and to the
now palatial trains that cover the dis
tances like the wind.
Felix Martinez Is one OF the men who
has assisted In making these conditions
possible. He Is a descendant OF one OF
the Oldest Mexican families located In
this section Of the country. Being born
In Texas and reared In New Mexico, he
early became identified with the bust
ness and political affairs OF that terri
tory. After serving several terms In
the territorial legislature, he craved a
desire to broaden out In field that
would offer more inducements to his
ever ready qualities as n hustler and
promoter OF things big and wonderful.
Mr.. Martinez Is one OF the most pro-
gressive and enterprlsing men in Eel
Paso today and he has done as much as
anyone TO build up Eel Paso and the
southwest. He promoted and was in
strumental in bringing to this city that
great business enterprise, the Southwest
ern Portland Cement company, OF which
he is one OF the vice presidents. He
was the original promoter Of our street
car system. He lis the chairman Of the
executive committee Of the board OF
governors OF the lei Paso Water Users
association. and member OF numerous
boards OF directors OF various companies
in which he Is interested. He is ons OF
the leading property owners OF tna city.
and valley and takes a heartfelt int,I-
est in the welfare OF the city interrSr3.
A visit to his offices, 211 Texts avenue,
will reveal to the visitor one OF iIl
Paso's busiest men.

closed her eyes. The salty tears night shift must register They were late already. Why didn't they come7 Carl Meurer and Margaret Don nelly
 There was time when Carl had always come first and fingered as long as possible. That was before before Margaret Donnelly came to act as typewriter in the superintendent s office.
 The essence of bitterness lay in the fact that it was through her efforts that Margaret had come. She had been sorry for the girl-one of a big, shiftless family.
 Till her advent, Milly had been queen of the freight house She was willingly worshiped. Little wonder that she became domineering even to Carl Meurer. Margaret on the con trary, was bright and obliging, with a seductive Irish tongue, and when Milly sent him to the right about for some trifling matter he promptly availed himself of the other girls ready smiles and good-humored com radeship.
 The other men in the yard where he was foreman had widened the breach by teasing him about being 'sbossed" This was gall to the high spirited German. He would have been willing to die for a woman, yet he would not submit to leading strings.
 As Milly brooded over her troubles. which had kept her awake all that day, a pretty laugh rang through the office, and Margaret pushed open the swinging doors and entered, followed by Meuyer They made a simultane- ous rush for the clock to register on time Margaret did not speak to the operator, but with another laugh passed through the door of exit. fol- lowed by Meurer. who had taken no notice of Milly either.

THROUGH THE FIRE
 By BRYANT c. ROGERS

Milly Hope had not slept well. as her dull, puffy eyes indicated. Even the coil of auburn hair, usually ar ranged with tantalizing grace, be trayed the disorder of her mind in it's careless disarray.
 Seated before the switchboard, an swering calls, taking down messages, ringing up different offices in the yard, she attended to the necessary voice, in repeating a call, was sharp and even impatient. In all of her five years as chief night operator in the Chicago freight house this had never before occurred.
 As the men passed through the of- fee that evening, few minutes be- fore ten, to register on the big clock. each called out some salutation to Nilly. who was great favorite.
 Instead of responding. she shrugged or drowned or bit her lips in pretend ed absorption.
 Don't sulk, Milly," bawled out the superintendent. as he paused on the threshold. Carl won't come back any the quicker for your seowls, when little Margaret has smiles to spare"
 She returned no answer, but ap- piled herself more closely to her duties. Despite her self-control, a tear splashed on the message she was recording.
 "Snags, my child?"
 The grVff voice of Banks, father of the machine shops-the oldest man at the works, was kind and did not wound. Milly raised her wet eyes mutely.
 He shook his head
 Men are funny brutes, Milly. Carl is fond of you, but he's like the rest of us. He won't stand for nagging nor being hectored. I once was young and now that I am old, haven't fer got the girl loved first and best. We had little difference just like you and Carl. We never made it up. We were both too spunky"
 He sighed and slowly quilted the room.

PRESIDENT CHANGES HIS TACTICS.

When the first fight between, what is known as the lngurgent wing of the Republican party broke out in opposition against Speaker Cannon and his standpat- ters, Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich, who dominate the House and Senate respectively, succeed ed in controlling President Taft to the extent of having every item of patronage cut off from the Insurg- ent Republicans.
 No Insurgent Senator, of which there were eleven, and no Insurg- ent Representative, of which there were about forty-five. could secure the appointment to crossroads postmaster.
 During the last few months the people have had say in this mat ter. They have had a shot at Senator Burrows of Michigan. and Senator Hale of Missouri. who were two standpat Republicans and bitter enemies of the Insurg ents. The voters have blown these luminariss into atoms.
 Now, after Mir. Taft has cut of patronage from the Insurg ents for more than a year, he come $ out in letter through his secretary, and announces that hereafter Insurg- ents shall have all the pie that can be found and that no discrim ination
