SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR.
Clint, Tex. May Is.


Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Your editorial, Something to Live
For in the issue of Ihe. 10th, struck
me as timely and well chosen. You are
undoubtedly right in advising the
southwestern people to return to our
own legitimate occupat:ons.~
Let US look the proposition squareIy
in the face from strictly an American
standpoint, leaving out the lamentabIe
condition across the lilo Grande In
our own country we have serious prob
lens; a radical change politically has
taken place in our congress, and,
though the writer. is a Democrat. we
must realize any change, so far reach
ing will be followed by some financial
crisis. Hence We naturally must expect
money tightness." The partisan
spirit which leads our capitalists into
tying up the nations current funds is
not creditable, but exists nevertheless.
The people of the great southwest are
known for their broadminded, progress
sive spirit; FL Paso is rapidly becom-
ing a typical name for progress So we
must pull together and justify this
good reputation.
Mexico has, in a way, closed it's doors
to US; we must look into other sections
for our magkets-to the north, east and
west. North of US are mines of great
wealth. needing development A rail-
road running from FL Paso to Salt Lake
City would traverse. ID agricultural
sections of the Rio Grande, CD mineral
sections of the Mimbres or Black range.
CD coal lands further north and prob
ably receive cattle at various points
To the east we have already rich
irrigation section, right at Ell Paso's
doors; this is being rapidly developed
The present season is unusually favor
able, and we have every reason to feel
cheerful. To the west we have both
agricultural and mineral resources. and
the transcontinentals traffic passes
through FL Paso. If Old Mexico has
shut US out, New Mexico has not, nor
has the Legitimate occupation" of un-
limited domestic trade.
If narrow and prejudiced political
feelings have tied UP millions all over

fighting-their own blood has run in

have 1 read of an American, man or
woman being molested IN Mexico since
this war began; in all the weeks in
which the insurrectos were camped in
our vicinity their department was an
object lesson which many soldiers with

AN ADVENTURES IN JUAREz.

Ell Paso. Texas, May 10.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
On the morning of the Sth of this
month Col. ]. Fisher Satterthwaite
and the writer boarded a street car for
Juarez, Mexico. just, for a street car
ride and to sniff little fresh air.
When we started the colonel said:
1--WE will not stop over in Juarez, only
ride around the loop:" however. on
reaching Juarez he said Let us get
off and take the next car We
and purchased two bottles Of soda wa
ter.
Just as we had finished drinking
the proprietor rushed us out in great
haste. We did not know whether the
proprietor was subject to temporary
crazy fits or not. The colonel said.
Lets go to the park and take a seat
on one of those benches"
On our way we met Gen. Navarro
and staff coming down rhe street. We
raised our hats. Col. Fisher being quite
well acquainted with the general. and
they saluted US in return. few mo-
ments later we were seated on a bench
in the plaza. loaded our Csc pipes and
tied down to enjoy a good old Irish
smoke.
Just at that time came a woman,
with a baby in arms and leading a lit
tie tot by the hand. In the street was
a poor old Mexican with burro hitch
ed to a two wheel cart with household
goods, three little children. a few
chickens and a billy goat; then came
another good mother with babe in
arms. one leading by the hand and
another holding to the mothers dress
She was making the fastest time she
could and, strange to relate, the two
old veterans of the civil war did not
take the hint or tumble until the
shooting commenced west of the old
historical church.
When the bullets began cutting the
limbs over our heads. we left our seats
for a new position and linked" to this
side of the river We seated ourselves
on this side on little bench near the
door of the customs house, when a
United States soldier came up to rs in
a nice, quiet way, and said, Gentle
men. move on don't you see tie bull
let's striking that brick wall across the
street," Col Fisher remarked: Eve
are old soldiers of the civil war: we
have heard them whistle many times
now let US sit here and fill our pipes
and we will resume our hike" '"An
right" said the soldier boy though
you must hurry up" We filled our
pipes. lit them and were putting away
but the U. s. boy had his eye on us.
came up and grabbed the writer by
the arm and in a sharp voice said.
Now move on" and we moved. to a
hotel near the plaza. and sat in the
lobby about 80 minutes The colonel
said. "Dou YOU know what our trip
reminds me off" The writer said
No" Well" replied the colonel. cit
