on wrought iron pipe to Kelvin, Ariz.
which place is in a rapidly developing
mining district. 1t is well known that
Pittsburg is the market for this COM
modify and from which nearly all is
first shipped. The rates from Pittsburg
to FL Paso and Ell Paso to Kelvin are
81 1-2 cents less than Denver and Sc
cents less than Los Angeles.
These few Illustrations are given
merely to show that FL Paso can reach
out and greatly extend her trade, and
are these not sufficient to cause our
shippers 10 investigate this feature
thoroughly and decide to take immedi-
ate advantage Of our opportunities by
starting an organized trade extension
movement to be prosecuted in the most
vigorous way possible.
Opening for Machinery.
That IT is clear to some of the Ell
Paso firms that the right effort will
extend their trade, is shown by the
shipment of Ell Paso made machinery
as far as Qua najuato, Mexico, coffee
into the panhandle Of Texas and state
of Oklahoma. building tile to San An
tonic and Dallas. liquors TO Needles,
Cal, cement as far as Las Vegas on
the north, Kingman and Yuma, Ariz-,
on the west, the panhandle Of Texas
and Port LaTaca on the. Gulf coast of
the state.
Why. then, should FL Paso not have
the business at the very threshold of
the city?
Nothing succeeds like success, and a
hard and intelligent fight will inspire
self confidence, inoculate our patrons
with the same germ, cause the railway
representatives to have greater respect
for our demands and share in our en-
thusiasm regarding expected results.
If the shippers of this city will only
get together and pull together. with
the determination to make Ell Paso
trade extension a success, be ever on
the alert for new business and relin-
quish none it now has, new indus
tries Will be attracted. and as the
great territory on all sides develops,
this city will grow and prosper beyond
our most sanguine expectations.

auction or manufacture, so that while
some rates appear to be so excessive
as to keep our statesmen out of such
territory. they frequently do not.
A book containing a comparison OF
class rates has recently been complied
for the use of members of this organ
ization, and one of the purposes for
which this was issued was to so inter
est the shippers of this city as to cause
them TO make a closer investigation Of
freight rates and take advantage of
their opportunities where they have
them, know what disadvantages they
must overcome in transportation
charges, or make their complaints in
order that they may be explained and
when considered advisable, that this
organization may make an effort to
secure a favorable adjustment
Adjustments Are Needed.
Notwithstanding Ell Paso wants
some rate adjustments in order to ex-
tend its trade territory, yet we believe
close investigation will show that
so far as the transportation feature
controls, the business can be greatly
increased with the present rates.
It may be a surprise to some of our
business men to know that the Ell Paso
wholesale firms can ship dry goods
from New York-the greatest market
for that commodity-to Ell Paso in
carloads, and in less car lots from FL
Paso to Flagstaff, Arizona, for only
eight cents more than Los Angeles can
handle in the same manner. II cents
less than San Francisco, 3S cents less
than st. Louis, and 33 cents less than
New York can ship direct in less car
lots To Globe, Ariz.. the FL Paso
firm has an advantage on dry goods
originally moving from New York in
car lots. Of 76 cents over Los Angeles,
s1.01 over San Francisco, s1.20 over ST
Louis and in less car lots shipments
from New York direct TO Globe, 40

AS another Illustration of the adj
vantages this city has in rates, let us
suppose that a mining company in

The problem of sgnchronizing the

as the public knows, for the last Is
years, has been solved, 1t is claimed,

The problem. however, OF keeping the

And this concordance OF the dual work

After 1t was found that the phono

made to synchronize it was discover

could not receive the sound clearly at

necessary TO set the picture machine
