El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-12-28

URING the year just coming
to a close some of the most
- important movements in the
history of FL Paso have been launched
said H. La Sale.
zone of the most important OF these
Is the Made in FL PasO' week exhibit
The effects of this will be benenclal
and far reaching this year, but the eI-
hibitiOn next month will be but small
beginning of what is destined to pc
come an annual southwestern eNhlcl-
ton. We have always heard that FL
Paso is the center of a huge trade Ter
ritory. But El PasO has been over
looking a great opportunity IN nor
showing the people of that territory
what she manufactures and IN turn
seeing the products Of the IerIltOiS-
The average citizen has hay IDEA
that FL PasO and this section is grow
ing as a manufacturing center, put II
is only through exhibitions or TINS
kind that we can be brought to realize
the immense amount Of manufactured
articles that this city and section pro-
duce."
1.-The American army officers at Naco
have been most fair in their ueallnS )
as regards the Naco situation salo
Roberto Pesqueira. Their lnVesI5d-
tiOns have been thorough and 1 think
that these Investigations have con
WINGED them that the reports OF Hin S
men firing across the line are false
hoods. That lives have been endan-
gered in the American town IS greatly
to be regretted, but it is not through
the fault Of the Naco garrison. Wncn
Hill was not responsible for the dam
age done, he certainly could not be eN-
peCted to evacuate strongly entrencheu
positions" y
There have been many boosts Tor
FL PasO for doing things which nave
not been done by cities elsewhere IN
the country" said George Ottman. Il
believe that FL PasO is. in most respects
one Of the most progressive Of cities
But in one respect it retains all the
aspects of a country village. That is
its lighting system. HOldups have &C
Cured with frequency during the win
ter months for the past four or i've
years and it has been impossible to
prevent them. All of these holdups
have occurred in the dark. This moon
light schedule is ridiculous. Even on
bright moonlight nights there is not
sufficient light from it in thickly SET
tied sections and when the moon %
only at quarter or half, the light IS
very poor. And when the sky is hung
with clouds it is always very dark
1.-THE FL PasO AdclUb has opened the
way for every progressive merchant
in the city to advertise Ell Paso in a
most effective way" said r. z. SheT-
cut showing scenes in and around FL
Paso. This cut the club will loan o
any merchant or other business man
who will have his stationery printed
from it. The cut consists of a pano-
ramic view of the business section
taken from the FL PasO & Southwest
ern office building and a series Of
smaller views showing the Pioneer
plaza and surrounding buildings,
water scene in an FL Paso park, a view
of the Elephant Butte dam, and a resi-
dence scene"
"The new traffic ordinance is one Of
the best things the city council has
ever done for the city" said Fred La
candy 1T will do a great deal to pre-
vent accidents, providing it is enforced
But / believe it has only gone part
way and could be improved. Under
the ordinance only motor vehicles and
bicycles are compelled to carry head
and tail lights. I think that all We
hicles, including buggies, delivery
wagons and other horse driven We
hicles, should be compelled to carry
lights. Running at IS miles an hour,
a motor vehicle closes up very quickly
on one being moved by a horse and It
is sometimes impossible to prevent an
accident Another way in which ac-
cidents are caused is by vehicles get
ting on the wrong side Of the street"
