wandered across the river bed
- and have been arrested I have
asked Gen. Castro to place a guard at
the trenches and turn back any who
attempt to approach them" American
consul T. D. Edwards said Tuesday af-
ternOOn. The federals are forced to
be on guard against the junta in Ell
Paso, and must watch their trenches
But all who have gone across the river
and have been arrested have been in
nocent persons, who did not know bet
ter. Take the case of the Italians
Monday afternoon. They knew moth
ing of the trenches, and doubt if they
knew that they were invading a for
eiSn country Yet they were arrested
and when 1 asked Gen Castro for their
release he explained to me that there
was a well organized adjunct of the
rebel junta in FL Paso which employed
Italians and that he and his fellow Of
ficerS had been marked for death by
these black hand members. Because
of this, the Italians were held for an
Investigation. Had there been a guard
on the Mexican river bank and the
Italians turned back, there would have
been no trouble"
There will be one good result from
the shipping of those Mexican federal
patron of the Fort Bliss car line says.
There will be no more of those dirty
camp followers riding back and forth
to the fort after this They have been
a pest ever since the soldiers were
brought to the fort from Naco They
bring swarm of flies with them from
Juarez, they carry all the food, water
melons, chickens and tobacco they can
get on board the car and they are gen
orally Objectionable. Sunday, as we
were riding home from church, two of
the women who had been drinking,
raised such a rough house, fought and
swOre so badly that they were finally
put off the car by two of the patrons"
This has been winter weather to
me after coming out of Dallas" NJ J.
Simpson, who was a guest at the
JOvian luncheon Tuesday, said 4
have been here for week and it is the
first relief from the not, sticky heat
1 have had since spring I intend
to come out here to locate and engage
in business This looks like a live
town, the business men I have met are
keen eyed chaps, and I amin love with
FL PasO already I have mot decided
be enrolled as one of FL PasO's boost
eTs and am willing to do my share TO
help along the interests Of the city"
What you people need here to boost
the automobile and good roads game
is a paid secretary of your automobile
club" E. P Grindel said in passing
through to Wisconsin for his vacation
Tuesday. Mr.. Grindeu has been cham
Der of commerce secretary at Douglas
for four years, and he knows a thing
or two about town building, get to-
gether games and the other legitimate
schemes of city building men, Get
a live secretary at a good salary, let
him devote his entire time to the bus
mess, give him a good car to run and
then turn him loose to develop your
good roads as they should be done
That is the way it is being done and
that will be the way Ell Paso must do
it, if you people expect to get on the
good roads maD down here These
good roads meetings which are being
held at Alpine and other parts of the
state should be attended by such sec
rotary, the work OF developing road
sentiment should be handled by him
in a systematic way. The result would
be that FL Paso would become the
center of the good roads game in the
southwest and that is coming to be
great interest these days of autOmo-
biles and cross country travel"
