the Pecos valley will be the
best in years." said George
| Rogers. All the way from FL Paso TO
| Amarillo, in the Panhandle country,
there have been heavy rains and small
lakes have been formed. There are
! ducks on every one Of these little
lakes. Through the Pecos valley quail
and duck are more plentiful than ever
before. Great care is being taken in
New Mexico to see that the laws are
observed and notices have been posted
in every station, hotel and store
throughout the Pecos valley country
warning hunters against shooting
game before the season opens. There
has been so much watet around ANA
rillo that they are telling a story OF
! an eastern tourist who left the town
aIter making all arrangements to To-
cate there. complaining that the coun-
try was too swampy for him."
"A special effort is being made by
the chamber Of commerce to secure the
routing through FL PasO Of special
trains Of business men, bound for the
exposition" said Andrew Reeves "One
OF the most important of these viii be

are all substantial business men and
FL PasO cannot but benefit from
showing them her resources We will
try TO have them remain here long
enough to not only thoroughly look
over the city but take side trips to
the dam and down the valley"

We can do to convert the pessimist into

Should the FL Paso-San Diego road
race be staged during the early part
Of 1915 it will prove one OF the great
est advertisements this city has ever
received said Charles Stevens The
race would be run over the BOrderland
course in midwinter and viii do much
TO bring tourists this way The Lin
coin and other northern highways are
making hard campaigns to get the
tourists who will go to California J
They are advertising in magazines and .
circulating tons Of literature setting /
forth the advantages Of their road. But {
none of the northern highways can
Borderland has. Tourists can drive !
over this road in winter as well as in /
midsummer.
Real estate activity continues on I
the upward trend despite the European I
war and the state Of unrest that exists j
in Mexico" said George frost Build /
ing in FL Paso has not decreased dur
ing the fall months, as the records at
the building inspectors office viii I
show believe that the building per- j
nit record for 1915 will FAR exceed I
$4,000 00O- During this year there are /
70 be many expensive buildings erect
ed. among which will likely be the new i
100000 high school, the Jewish syna-
cog, probably the new postoffice, the
courthouse. auditorium and scores OF
other smaller structures"
considerable interest Is being
shown in automobile circles in the
east over the Borderland. race between
E Paso and Phoenix, on November s.
said James 3. Cole. There are a
number Of eastern automobile drivers
who would be glad to drive in the race,
but are not able TO do so because it
would require so much time to ship
their machines to this city. The en-
trance OF the Beaver Bullet driven
by keene, is but the first car Of num-
Der Of racing machines that viii be en-
tered in future BOrderland races be-
tween FL PasO and Phoenix"
AS a natural gateway between the
east and the west FL PasO enjoys great
for the future said Tay-
Tor Morton. Of Los Angeles 1T is one
Of the most progressive cities in the
west, and growing faster than any
town Of its size in the entire country,
in my opinion I think that the pro-
posed stopover privileges to be allowed
tourists travelling to the Panama-Pa-
,ific exposition next year Will be a /
big thing TO FL PasO."
