Herald for a business eXcur-
sion through Mexico is an ex-
cellent one" said Park W. Pitman-
The business men Of FL Paso should
take advantage of the suggestion Dy
runring trade excursion through 70
Mexico City visiting all the large cues
enroute. 1t would be a big boom LoE
FL Paso and would undoubtedly oulid
up business relations between the Dusl-
ness men OF the Mexican cities and
this city. You can count me IN OF the
trip II one is undertaken. i Woutd NOT
miss the opportunity for anythins-
believe FL PasO business men should
act at once and make the trip before
some OF the Pacific coast cues 3I
other trade centers do it the 1lrst II
will reap the harvest"

The greatest improvement that FL
PasO could have" said John scout OF
Kansas City, would be street signs
like Fl PasO very much lnueeu' plt
never can find the street for Wnich L
am looking without interrogating a
resident Why don't you nave streel
signs where a person can see them:
It is one criticism that nave heard
from almost every VISITOR IN ms cllg
and also from many OF the residents
Neatly lettered street signs posted at
every corner would not require much
money and would more Inan pay m
the good they would 40 Vlsltors- II

impress visitors passing through the
city with the benefits OF TINS secuon
and the hveness Of FL Paso- But al
that good is undone when a VISITOR mas
to waste time and lose ms temper
prowling around hunting Tor street,
irQuiring of people who are equally as
ignorant. FL Paso is a good town, but
have street signs on your corners II
you want to be called a real CITY

tensively advertised in connection with

J. Anderson, general passenger agent
Of the Southern Pacific Many Of the

PasO side trip in their advertisements
The excursion agents in the east an
nCunce that there are about 40 special
trains booked through FL PasO and II
is expected that this Eumber VIII pc

the various routes have a splendid OPP
portunity 10 get plenty Of advertising

The Mexican prisoners passing
through FL Paso on their way TO Eagle
Pass certainly look a good deal better
than when they first arrived here.
said N. L LOuden- 4 have never seen
a more forlorn crowd than the prison
ers were after their long hike from
Preside and the ride here Now they
all look well, all OF them nave gooq2;
clean clothes and they al look Wen
fed The stay at Fort Wingate ard
Fort Bliss has certainly been great
vacation for them"
q believe that a trip through Mex
leo, such as suggested by The Herald
would prove a big success. said J. D.

Gently shut down." said ". D. Mack /
OF Hurley. y. II "The shut down Of
the concentrators and release Of about
