ORIENTAL CAFE.

1t Is not necessary for one to be a.
gourmet or become rUvenously hungry
TO be able to eat or enjoy a meal at
the Oriental Cafe, 20S ST. Louis street.
The edibles are so good and the cook
ing so fine that they verify the old
saying, Appetite will come with eat

The place to get good things to eat,
to get what you want when you want
1t and the way you want 1t, at prices
to suit Is Clark's Cafeteria, at eos st.
Louis street. The people OF Eel Paso
who patronlze the restaurants have be-
come familiar with the new method OF
service at the cafeteria and they like
1t because Of it's time-saving conve-
nlence, it's great variety of good things
to eat, Of good quality, well cooked and
at moderate prices Those who never
patronize the restaurant, should go to
the cafeteria once, at least, to learn
something they do not know about
good living. Mrs. Clark and Miss Will
liams are the proprletors and they do
their own cooking. Their speciality is
home cooking--not the kind OF home
cooking that we hear so much about
but the genuine. old fashioned savory
and relishable kind of home cooking,
with some modern and scientific i'm
provements, which have been found ne
cessary, and the cafeteria is the leader
in this line Clark's Cafeteria has
seating capacity OF 10 and 1t is open
all day. except Sunday, and feeds
about 800 people daily.

No Crowd Too Large For FL Paso

vt may truthfully be said that the
city OF Eel Paso has outgrown its
hotels, just as It has outgrown its
many public utilities, and just as 1t out
grew It's railroad stations, and It has
been apparently impossible for the no
Eel interests to keep up with this
growth; but, at the same time, there
are many good hotels, and a great many
first class rooming and boarding
houses, all Of them enabling Eel Paso to
care for a large number of strangers.
The great crowds that were here for
Taft-Diaz day and for the annual fair,
were taken care OF without difficulty.
Visitors are struck with the great
number of hotels and restaurants in the
city, and they are all impressed with
the fact that they are crowded all the
time. It is said that FL Paso has
larger number Of good eating places
than any city OF It's size In the nation,
and that is about right because, In pro-
portion to its population, the city cares
for more transient people than any
other place In the country. This Is the
great main gateway to Mexico, and Is
the trade center Of one OF the richest
and fastest growing sections OF the
United States and this means that each
month sees thousands Of strangers
come, stay a day or two, and 60 Ell
Paso enjoys a tenday stopover privilege

New Hotel Plans.
SO rapid has been the growth OF the
city, and so rapidly has the travel In
creased In volume, that the hotel build
ings are not large enough; the eating
places are not large enough, and the
situation demands immediate relief. The
owners Of the Sheldon block will expend
$4,000 to $4,000 during 1910 I'm an
effort to increase the capacity OF that
hotel, and enterprIsing capitalists are
figuring on a really big hotel for the
city, but even this promises only tenn
porary relief.
The number Of good places must
make up for their size until such
time as the construction OF very
large structure will care for certain
class of the trade seeking the best &C
commodatons at any price
AS 1t Is, Eel Paso can care for large
crowds without serious inconvenience
and does care for them all the time,
but this only means that really big
flrstclass hotel will do all the business
It can handle without taking a dollar
OF profit from any of the places now
open to the public, and, as matter or
fact may increase the travel In this di-
rection and help all the others In
business way.

THE GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL.

mess center, the restaurants, places or
amusement and other resorts, IL is
especially desirable to transients w.
M Mccoy, the enterprising proprietor,
is an experienced hotel man, much
liked and esteemed by the travelling
public. The best evidence OF the pop
ularity Of the Grand Central is shown
by the fact that the proprietor, Mr..
Mccoy, is about to add another story
TO the already large building; and
aside from the added story a new
commodious elevator is to be installed
together with an entirely new steam
heating plant and additional plumbing
