properly for market to compete
with the California products, will be
regular in bringing in constant sup
ply and viii not take their goods to
the retail stores and peddIe them out
in town, bringing US the odds and ends,
We Will pay them California prices,
plus The freight-even better, we will
pay them a little more" This is E p.
kepley's def to the ranchers of the
lower valley who claim that they can
not find a market for their goods
which they produce on the ranches
Mr.. kepley is owner of the E P Ken
ley Wholesale Produce company. He
says; We have gone up and down
this valley preaching home products
and have begged the ranchers for their
fruits and vegetables. Those who do
bring in the products, bring them IN
such a condition that they must be
sorted, repacked and prepared for sale
DeIOre We can deliver them to the re-
taller Then the ranchers will not be
constant When we depend upon them
Tor their products they fail US many
times taking their products to the re-
tan stores or even peddling them out
IN town to get a little better price.
Then they will show up late in the af-
ternoon with the leavings and want US
to buy these, and howl because we
refuse. One year we sold 1000 crates
of rruit for a valley rancher who put
up his fruit as it should be and brought
his supply to US regularly. We are
anxious to buy in the valley, for we
want to develop the home grown mar
ket- But We must have our supply
constant and it must be packed as well
as California goods, or we cannot COM
pete with California in the local mar
ket- If the ranchers will comply with
these conditions, I will make a stand
ing offer to buy all they bring"
1t would have done the heart of
anyone good to have seen those little
Tuesday night" Mrs. Pitts, wife of the
Salvation Army commander said We'd
nesday- They were noisy with the
noise of boyhOOd but none were rough
or rowdy. and they entered into the
spirit of the evening with an enthus-
iasm which would have been good for
the public TO see. Not a boy, Mexican
or American, left the hall without
thanking US personally for the good
time that they had enjoyed, and the
effort was worth while from many
points of view
"All this talk about Gen Orozco
having made large sums of money out
of his revolution is not true" Don
Primitive EnriqueZ, OrOZicO'S mining
partner, says. Don Primitive has been
in Ell PasO, for the past year with his
family, and he is in position to know
OrOzcO's financial condition, as he has
been tranSacting much of the business
for the firm here I know that Orozco
is not rich and has not made a large
sum of money out of the revolution.
1 know this because I have cared for
his family while they were in Californ-
ia and 1 know that today Orozco is
living on his salary as a general in the
federal army. He spent every cent that
was raised for the revolution in carry
ing it on, and he spent much Of his
own means, which he had obtained
from his personal holdings in the cause
Of the OrOzco revolution"
They tell me that. Villa has no
pitchers and that his team work is
poor" chief clerk John Eagan, of the
PasO del NOrte says. Il have been wait
ing for more than a month to see this
much touted championship game be-
tween the rebel Tigers and the fed
eral Cubs, but they have announced
daily that wet grounds, rain. darkness
and a few other things have stopped
the series. I hope they get together
on the Rancheria diamond and fight 1t
out for the pennant in Mexico for I
am tired of getting rain checks instead
of big league ball daily"
why any American would want to
go to Mexico these troublOus times in
the republic is more than 1 can see"
general superintendent @. G. Morse. OF
the ElleCLllc halfway COMPANY oc1Au-
Il don't mean to Juarez, but to the
interior. The MeXicans seem to have
no respect for property in the interior
and little for life. Ell PasO is as close
as I care to be to Mexico until peace
is restored over there. Think of the
difference of Mexico today with its
revolutions, and the Mexico of 1906,
when Diaz was supreme and every
thing was quiet in the republic 1t is
a lesson in current history, the change !
that has taken place"
''El Pasoans ought to appreciate the
advantages they have in the matter of /
recreation" said G. L. Kendall, of Tue |
son. while taking a ride through the |
FL PasO valley This valley is as |
pretty as anything in the country and !
the cool air is most refreshing. A trip |
down here among the valley ranches, |
where one can breathe the odor of the |
fields and enjoy the GOODNESS Of the |
country atmosphere is a treat that ev- I
cry resident of FL Paso should appre- |
ciate The very greenness of things is /
restful to the eyes and consequently |
to the brain. When the interurban ]
line is in operation, then it will bring /
the benefits of the valley to the door 4
of every Ell Paso family, for it will /
not be necessary to own an automobile |
