L \ effect the new tariff law would
have on lowering the cost of living,
while several representative cattle buy
ers and raisers were sitting in the
lobby of the Sheldon hotel.
From my point of view" spoke up
| Chas. F. Hunt, of the FL Paso Live
stock company, Il do not think the
people of the United States will be ben
Gifted a nickel a head Cattle may come
| into this country free, but the Mexican
, cattle raiser Will not lower the price
| of his cattle and he will be the one TO
benefit by the tariff, as it will increase
| his sales.
mine to a dot" said W. n. Pence, man
ager of the famous T. o. ranch in Mex
leo, which consists of over 100000
| acres, and is the property of Edward
Morris, of Chicago Continuing, Mr..
Pence said: If anything, the tariff
will add to the price of meat in the
! United States and the Mexican cattle
raiser will reap the benefit The Iarg-
est market for cattle for the Mexican
is in the United States and the Mexican
will hold to the price that he received
while the tariff was IN force, and con-
sequently he will get the benefit Of
the new tariff law South American
/ beef will eventually cut the price OF
beef in this country, but of course that
depends on the supply and demand. If
Mexico does not put an export duty on
cattle, which, in my opinion. is proba-
7 BILE, there will be a tremendous impor-
] tation of cattle from Mexico, especial
/ ly to fill the demand for low grade
/ cattle in this country. There is also
I az probability that the farmers of the
/ northwest will take advantage of the
( situation and buy a great many cattle
I for breeding purposes. If the people
| are ever benefited by the reduction of
! the tariff on cattle, it will be many
years before an apparent change takes
| place"
A bewhiskered prospective guest who

Not much" said flanagan. as he

THE bones. the bones" the stranger
cried. Come seven! Come eleven! The

Langan emerged from cover.
The stranger produced the dice In

we don't shake dice here for rooms

the stranger as he walked away.
'Ishave in mind man for governor
of the state who would make a real
one" said o. c. Coles He is Dr. B.
NJ Worsham. and I am certain that if
he were nominated, he would be elected
against any faction or organization in
the state Being a modest man, Dr.
NOrsham has not said much about him
self since he moved out here from east
Texas and settled down as an Ell Uaso-
an But 1 happen to know that he is
considered one of the big men of the
state and that his influence is as strong
as any man in public life in the state
If he were nominated and would con-
sent to run, am SATISFIED that he
would make a crackerjack governor,
for there would be no question in my
mind of his election"
AS. A P. Coles placed mayor c. z.
Kelly in nomination Monday the Coles

divided against itself in state political
affairs.

This fire ordinance is a strange and
wonderful thing in its application" a
friend of the city schools said Wednes-
day. THE fire marshal would not per-
nit the erection of the portable houses
to relieve the congestion at the Lamar
and Villas schools The marshal claimed
that it was within the fire limits and
board to place the portable school
houses down on the south side, where
they were not so badly needed Yet

shacks in the downtown district. the
Os-Aple committee erected pine build
ings on Kansas street opposite the city
