Conditions are Improving
II. NJ. WinEO Says Financial Outlook
in the East Is Much More En-
cOuraging: Little Inferrferrs
6CH NANCIAL conditions all over

66E FINANCIAL conditions all over
the country are beginning to
pick up said T. N. Wingo, of
the Rio Grande Valley bank, "and will
continue to improve gradually, from
the present outlook, until by the first
OF the year We expect them to be quite
normal again"
when conditions have resumed the
normal in Mexico, and commerce again
replaces the clash of arms, the Postal
| Telegraph company will make an eff
fort to reenter the Mexican field" di-
vision superintendent S H. Nudge. of
Chicago said Friday afternoon, while
here inspecting the local branch of the
Postal The stranglehold of the mo-
nopoly in Mexican telegraphs is shown
by the rates to Mexico City from FL
Paso. From Ell Paso to Mexico City
the rate is $3.50. gold. Cross the river
to Juarez the rate for the same service
mile and it surely does not cost S1.10
to carry the message across the river.
Again a telegram Dallas to Ell Paso
costs so cents. The rate from JuareZ
to Mexico City is so cents, yet the rate
from Dallas to Mexico City, by the way
of Ell PaSO. under the present mOOnp-
oily, is $3.50. This is so percent more
than the total of the two rates added
together. Once this monopoly in tele-
graph tolls to Mexico City is eliminated
and FL PaSo will enjoy a rate much
lower than that which exists at present.
As much of the commerce of the
country is done by telegraph, this will
mean much to Ell Paso commercially
and will make the trade relations be-
tween the two republics, once the rev.
olution is over, much stronger than it
otherwise could be, with monopoly
on thetelegraph service like the one
which exists at present"
at requires some hay to feed the
horses of Uncle Sans cavalry" Capt
A P. Watts, ouartermaster at the fort
says. Just this week I have closed a
contract for 100000 pounds of hay
which is to be delivered as soon as
possible. It is impossible to get the
hay in the local valleys. and I have
to contract it from all over Texas to
get a sufficient supply for the horses
of the regiment. This is only one item
in the list of food for horses and men
at the post. and it means much ymOnev
to the produce, hay and grain dealers

Gel Pasoans are growing more and
more metropolitan" said o. c Girls
more, of the Hotel Taxicab & Auto
company. "and are using faXis for their |
business and pleasure trims like east
erners. In preparation for our fall |
season. we have just had every auto
mobile and taxicab in our garage over |
hauled and freshened up for the sea |
sons use. besides charging the num-
Der of cars in our garage"
some American CdLLlGnen are I
knowingly purchasing stolen cattle in 4
Mexico" said a prominent Official in 4
Juarez Saturday nipht Not only do i
they do this. but they encourage the |
theft of cattle. Some of them hire 4
bandits to 90 out and round /
up the cattle on ranches which have !
been deserted. These they take out \
and rebrand and then cross into the !
United States. That is not all They !
pay for the cattle in ammunition !
something the bandits and the rebels /
want more than thew do money.
This ammunition is struggled access
at various points along the border in 4
automobiles or other cOnveyances and !
then delivered to the badits. DO you
think that this is observing the neu-
-rality laws?"

real estate dealer and former Herald
There is not a letter box
n the Dostoffice for rent. This con-
iitiou does not occur in hardly any
1ther city in the country. but here
people wait for months to secure a
etterbox I understand that the post

nail delivered at homes or offices. but
still it is strange TO find n city where
