Bring Frisco Tourists Here.
]. L NOrthman, Of Calisher's: Bring
by way Of Ell Paso the thousands OF
persons who will journey to the PanS
ama-Pacific eXpositiOns at san FRAN
cisco and san Diego in 1915 and give
them some special inducement to stop
over here a day or two. That's one OF
the biggest engagements the boosters
of this city can enter into In the year
to come. Why can't special sightseeing
trips to Elephant Butte dam, Cloud
croft and other nearby points be run
for the pleasure and information OF the
VisitOrs2 At least they should De
shown our growing city and its neigh
Dor, Juarez at the expense OF our
budget fund for promotion. For the
next year El PasO should be indelibly
stamped on the minds Of eastern and
northern people by means of a sys-
tematic advertising campaign that viii
actually reach them. Every passenger
to the coast in 1915 should be fOrciDly
impressed with the desirability of lay
ing over here, and, when he or Sne
arrives, something tangible should be
done to show what grand section
this is for permanent residence"
Go After More Factories.
A ". Reeves, secretary chamber Of
commerce: This organization is all
ready to go after more factories for FL
PasO, as soon as the Mexican reVOIu-
ton is settled In fact, we have some
prospective industries lined up already.
The final settlement of the School Of
Mines matter is one Of the things that
the commerce chamber is deeply inter-
ested in. It will lend its support to
the movement to provide the school
with ample facilities for beginning the
first term next fall, If possible An
other matter considered of vital I'M
portance to the future Of the upper
real farmers from the older states to
make the land yield its full return
Vigorous Advertising Campaign.
I'VE hope to begin vigorous adTer-
Using campaign the first Of the new
year, in which we viii use the hand-
soonest illustrated literature ever got
ten out by the organization, stimulated
by magazine space in mediums of ma
tiOnal circulation. Our exhibit COM
mittee has been working on a Scheme
of building up an exhibit of resources
OF the city and southwest that ought
to draw $4,000 callers a year to the
building. We have made only two calls
on the $4,000 budget raised last spring
and have money in sight sufficient to
take care of the activities that are
laid out for the year.
Two Questions Await Settlement.
NJ. COblentZ White House: 'El Paso
awaits the settlement of two para
mount questions with patience and IN
tense interest They are the currency
legislation and the Mexican revolution.
When these matters are disposed OF
this city will have money and impor-
tant things to do with it in abundance;
Industries will be enlarged, a great
realty ad -ance will be witnessed; our
trade Will be wonderfully strengthened
and we will have our hands full to
keep abreast OF the general progress
we are going to experience. 1 don
say we are not going ahead anyhow,
in@spite of these two leading questions
that are confronting US, but their solu-
tiOn will put the right feeling Of con-
fidence in everybody"
A Fair For FL PasO.
J. StOlaroff, Boston store: "If we
can see an end to the Mexican trOu-
bles soon We should be able to organ
lie a fair for next fall that will be a
yearly drawing card for the people Of
the southwest. The need of the valley
for practical farmers is quite appar-
ent. A concerted effort should be made
to bring them and see that they have
a fair start by the time the water from
the big dam is ready for distribution
Relieve Money Stringeney.
". T. Payne, realty: Eel PasOans
ought to make an effort to do some
thing to relieve the apparent strin-
gency in the local money market Pos
sibly the early passage of the national
currency bill will solve this problem.
It seems to me that Ell Paso is con-
siderably more affected by financial
4 tightness than other western cities
are. granting that il is felt all over
