First Class Family Hotel.
B Blumenthal, ex-alderman: "a
family hotel equipped for the care
and entertainment Of families who wish
to come here for the winter season
would do more to make a bigger and
better Ell PasO than anything I can
think of at this time. There is no
firstclass, family hotel at the present
time We have a number Of firstclass
commercial hotels but are lacking in
places where men with money may
bring their families to enjoy the win
tiers here in FL Paso. The visitors
other family hotels would be neces-
sary."
More Smoke Stacks Needed.
DR.. J. W. Yard, former exalted ruler
of the Elks and retired physician:
More ehimneys and more smoke in
Manufacturing is more necessary to the
business welfare of any community
than any other single item. FL Paso
is lacking in this element of a great
city. We have learned not to depend
too much upon our natural advantages
by the experience of the Mexican revo-
luton 1t has taught Ell Paso self
dependence and we must have more
factories where our people may be en-
ployed and where We can produce rath-
er than consume"
Initiate the Hen; Advertise.
G. 2. Lewis. special agent Of the
treasury department: I'VE should i'm
1tate the hen and not the duck. The
hen never fails to proclaim her achieve
ment, while the duck lays an egg ana
Waddles away Note the price and de-
mand for hens eggs. It surely pays
to advertise and FL Paso should get in
the hen class at once"
FL PasO Needs n Civic Club.
H. c. frost of frost & frost, archi-
tects: More attention to civic i'm
proYements will make Ell PasO better in
my opinion. KOu know there used to
be a civic club here, but it long since
fell into decay. I would think that to
reorganize such a club and to instill
new vim would better the city This
should be done with view to future
civic center and to future civic i'm
provements that will tend to beautify
the city. Nearly all of the big eastern
cities of Texas have done such work
to the material benefit of their reputa-

Park Pitman's Ideas.
"El Paso is good enough" said
county clerk Park Pitman. 1T could
bigger If we get the actual farmers
to come here and settle on the valley
land Some day the actual farmer will
make his appearance in Ell PasO and
want to buy 10 acres of the valley
land and the prices will be so high
that he can't. The high prices are
keeping the acutaI farmer away. It is
a great mistake putting the values Of
the land up to point where it has
the effect of keeping the farmer ont
Of our vicinity. This mining law of the
state has done much to retard the
growth of FL Paso. The state selling
the land and reesrving the mineral
rights has been the cause of there be-
ing no development of the mineral re-
sources of this section. A liberal
policy IN this respect would do much
