Ell Paso's Outlook Is Brilliant

cationaI centers. We have commercial
advancement in evidence on all sides
Let US get together, financially ana
morally, to build the foundation for
a college that will advance the facil-
tiles for education here in a way that
will win the continual support of the
University Of Texas and the Ied 1;5iS,i
government, all Of which IS provided
for in the negotiations our representa-
tiVes have concluded"
Publicity, Plenty of II.
Charles H. Leaveu, alderman and
realty dealer: Publicity with a great
big capital p is. in my opinion. the
biggest thing for the development OF
FL Paso that could be prom oted daring
the year 1914. The big projects that
are on the calendar for the next year
or two are, enlargement of Fort Bliss,
addition to the smelter county road
building. combined county and munlc-
ipal building, extension OF traction
lines, paving and sewer work, new
federal building, new high school and
the greatest of all, the Elephant Butte
dam, should be made the subject Of
great hue and cry that viii make the
name of Ell Paso and the growth AMI
development of which 1t is in the midst
heard all over the United States.
The Stringent Need.
''EI Paso's crying need today is pub
licity. It has been the making Of Los
Angeles, san Antonio, San Diego and
half dozen other cities that might be
mentioned, none Of which have any
more, If as much, claim to many points
of public notice as Ell PasO. San An
toniO's climate has been exploited IN
til II has gained almost a national rep
utation as a health resort yet FL PasC
has it put in the shade on this score
when il comes down to the real facts
of the matter Instead OF the few
thousand tourists and health seekers
that come here annually a great horde
of, say, $4,000 could be brought here
OF rs
to the right sort of publicity. Many
of these are people who could be IN
duced to live here or, at least, 70 in
vest here.
Don't Cover Your Light.
This is a day when things done
quietly, however well, lose much OF
their value and community mOdeSty IS
no longer virtue. FL Paso may have
big projects without number. but until
they are heralded to the world half
the effect that could be got is lost
This city can be made a second Los
Angeles. Within the next % years il
can be made metropolis Of half a
million people, but it can never make
rapid Roadway until more than the
feeble shout of previous years has been
added to the worlds din Of city build
ing exploitation
Pat up an Exhibition.
S G. Humphreys, Hotel PasO del
Norte: IAN exposition of the resources
tise our advantages to the tourists
that will travel to the Pacific coast
in 1915 is the big thing that or people
should go to work on at the beginning
Of 1914. A year will be needed to
thresh out the details. erect suitable
buildings and fill them with samples
of the products Of the rich country
that surrounds US. The chamber OF
commerce should secure guarantees
from the whole commercial community
that any deficit in the local exposition
will be met. pro rata, in order that
there will be no burden on a few when
the enterprise is wound up. Or,
special budget fund can be raised to
carry the project to success.
People Want to Be shown.
people want as much as they ever
did, to be shown what a community
can do, and 8 display Of agricultural
mineral and industrial products, to-
gether with livestock, will be the op-
portunity of q lifetime to demonstrate
to the uniformed the certainty OF
l pleasurable and profitable living III
