Every day the fact that the Ell Paso
detective force should have the Bertil-
lion system of identification is more
strongly emphasized" said Joe Hos
singer Many men are arrested here
whom we suspect of being wanted
elsewhere, but we are unable to posi-
lively identify them, owing to the an
tiquated method of Identification used
here at present. The small amount 1t
would cost the city to install the sys-
TEN would more than be repaid with
in a very short time, for with that sys-
TEN many criminals could be identified
and we could then be enabled to hold
them, whereas now we are compelled
to turn most of them free"

"I thought the parade on Pioneers
day was a splendid possible eXemplifi-
cation of the wonderful progress Of Fl
Paso during the past few years" said
Tom Lea. There was one feature,
however, which struck me as being
rather humorous and also caused me to
reminisce. h was the fact that a
champion HOlstein COW was closely fol-
lowed by the city water works depart
ment. I doubt that the COW has given
"A quarts Of milk in a day, especially
with 20 odd water wagons close by"

THE efforts of the officials Of the
Constitutionalist railway lines of north
ern Mexico. in opening up the track
further southwark daily, is meeting
with success" said A. F. Escontrias, To-
cal passenger agent of that railroad.
Thursday morning I received word
that the officials had arranged for pas
senger trains to go as far as Irapuato'
which is about 900 miles below Juarez-
Heavy express shipments are being re-
ceived daily and being sent to JuareZ
from this city. Officials on this end
of the line are anticipating negotia-
tons being opened for the resumption
Of train service between Ell PasO and
Juarez."
Nowhere in the United States are
soldiers as well treated as they are in
FL PasO," said mess Sergt. G. Wylie, of
battery 3, Sixth field artillery. I'm
like many people in other cities, Ell
Pasoans appear to believe as we do
that a soldier follows a very honOra-
Bile calling, n they do not appear to
think that because some few wearing
the uniform act disreputably and there
by disgrace both themselves and the
uniform they wear, all others wearing
Uncle Sans uniform should be treated
contemptuOusly. On the contrary, 1
have found FL Pasoans to be very
broad minded in this respect and to
accord a soldier gentlemanly treat
ment as long as he so conducts him
self. For this all soldiers stationed in
or close to FL Paso have a deep feeling
of gratitude. And we of the Sixth
field artillery feel that we owe an es-
pecial debt Of gratitude to the Elk for
the splendid treatment which theysac
corded US after Wednesdays parade.
