WI is the hub Of some extensive
good roads operations" said
r. E. Farley, of the ehautauqua city,
who was in El Paso Thursday. Noun
taniair business men are cooperating
with Carrizozo citizens in the building
of a stretch Of highway by way of the
ancient ruins Of La Gran Quivira and
connecting the ocean to ocean high

ISOLATION of its own which is expend-
ing much money, time and labor IN I'M
proving roads radiating from the town.

1.-THE FL Paso police department GER
tainly has a high standing with the
Los Angeles department., said Z. L.
Olney, assistant secretary Of the Los
Angeles police department. Il, am IN
a position where I see the cOrrespon-
dence and circulars concerning all
outside police departments, and on
every hand / hear only high praise OF
the Ell PasO department. The Ell Paso
police have certainly helped US out in
many cases ana the uGpdI lil644I ACA Z
is due a great deal Of credit.
The time will soon be-" said R. j.
Tighe, superintendent of city schools
when the schools will be printing
their own stationery, advertising mat
ter, cards, and other matter needed.
Printing machinery could be installed
in the manual training department ana
at the end of the year the machinery
would be paid for in the money saved
,=,u- hot e7f rrrrT r
ing matter. From several viewpoints
the installation Of printing machinery
in the schools is proposition worth
considering"
eel Paso seems to be entering
new era of prosperity said William
Walz. of the W. G. Walk Co. our
business since the first of the year IS
better than it has been for years at
this season. Other merchants whom
I have talked with say virtually the
same thing. Despite the handicap put
upon Ell PasO by the Mexican troubles,
the city seems to be going right ahead
financially, as though nothing had
happened. If conditions are as good
under the circumstances now, how
much better would they be II Mexico
was peaceful

ability have a mining school in session

same talk win be made in Washington
D. c.. soon"

this. You have a fine city mere ana
the hotel PasO del Norte, the Mills

ing are as fine as any that may be
found in the country. The best thing
Of all though is your wonderful air.
