Talk With Pecos People.
One Of the very pleasant incidents Of
the whole trip was the social session
last night on board the train returning
from BalmOrhea TO PecOs. After visit
ing the big spring near BalmOrhea,
as large as San Jacinto plaza, with a
capacity TO irri gate 10000 acres, or
supply all the water for Is cities the
size Of FL Pas0, and seeing the lively
towns and the splendid pumped wells.

PecOs Mans Views.
Judge W. A. Hudson said:
There has been 8 Misrepresentation,
perhaps, among YOU, but the PecOs val
icy does not desire trade reciprocity
lest rot The people OF the Pecos coun-
try most earnestly desire closer bust
ness relations with 81 Paso. But IN
der the circumstances heretofore exist
the people Of FL PaAo did not desire any
business relations with US and you
have certainly seemed TO ignore US
most pOintedly, so that our people
have felt a divisiGl that you were ap-
parently setting up to keep US away
from you.
The Pecos Mistake.
This trip proves we were mistaken.
We should infinitely rather do busi-
ness with FL Paso than with any other
city. We and the Commercial club Of
PecOs cordially welcome you, and we
are glad a mother has turned her face
toward US, and that she VIII no longer
treat US as If we were her stepchu
dren."
This friendly little reproof well ex-
presses the prevailing sentiment Of the
people all through the section so far
visited.

nate for her that the good people in
the section visited are so ready TO
overlook FL PasO's past mistakes and

Hearty Roswell Reception
Roswell n. d., Oct 5--At South
Spring. a strong committee from Ros-
well met the FL PasOans and a ride
of - or 80 miles was taken through
the most wonderful orchard country In
the southwest and a city that would
be a model in any state Of the union
for beauty and completeness
Later the FL PasOans visited the big
fair which was IN full swing and
were royalty entertained at a recep-
ton.
All the FL PasOans are overwhelmed
by the friendly attentions Of the peO-
pie In all Of the towns visited. The
people without exception expressed
their hospitality so gracefully and in
such original and delightful ways that
the III PasOans are really embarrassed
by so much generous attention
And on the whole trip, according to
Andy Reeves Ca recognized expert in
such matters) the FL PasOans have
seen no more beautiful women and no
sWeeter, pretuer young girls, than
rose who have pinned roses on the
visitors coats at peerless Artesla,
whose welcome viii never be forgot
