ccvF YOU want to see an example
of excellent road building just
A take a. trip with me down the
valley" said H D. Camp. The system
employed by the county in the building
Of roads is a system that could be
followed out in many lines of business
with success. It is a sight worth wit
Messing to see the road gangs at work.
We are going to have some mighty
fine roads in the valley when they are
completed
Society has danced at the Charity
ball for the poor of the city said
Mrs D. W. Reckhart. 1T has also
tangoed for the Sunshine society and
attended the various benefits which
have been given in the name OF cnarlIy.
Now the Humane society appeals TO the
people of FL PasO in the name OF hu-
manitJ. on February Il q dance viii

the benefit of the Humane society
work We wish to raise as much

might laugh at our art glass represen-
tations of COW men, chuck wagons and
camp fires" said Charles Le1Ser. pro-
prietOr of the Hotel Zeiger, as he
pointed to the new front which has
been placed in the hotel. That is the
best the art glass artists could do, and
we believe it is both artistic and IN
strUctive, for some day people viii
forget how the cattlemen looked and
how the meals were prepared from the
oh on
off. There should be no cover to IL
and the tail box should be much bigger.
for a camp cook would have a haro
time getting meal for so hungry COW
punchers from that dinEy little box
But art glass and reality are two diff
ferent things and like the pioneer
piano player, the artist should not be
shot for he did the best he could"
Safety first has won an advocate
since Sunday" said Eddie Pew Mon
day, after his narrow escape from fall
ing beneath a race track car sunday
'I had read everything available on
safety first and thought I knew enough
not to jump onto cars when they are In
motion. But the eagerneSS to set back
to Ell PasO as soon as possible got
the better of my common sense and
came near FORGETTING a perfectly good
pair of legs to the cause Of safety
first. If any of the railroads or street
car companies want someone to make
good safety first speech, I'm their
man."
"EI Paso is certainly the best town
of its size in the state or anywhere
else" declared judge r. q. Thomson
Il believe that II is q better town than
San Antonio. There seems to be an
air of prosperity here that is lacking in
many other places. OF course Dallas is
a good town. 1t is situated in an agrl-
cultural belt and the yearly state falr
held there is one of the things that
helps in the upbuldlng OF Dallas Ohe
has but to come to FL PasO and spend
several days to realize the wonderful
possibilities Of the town
"As the demand for renting houses /
is so much greater than the supply
said T. J. Cassidy, cit is making peO-
pie buy or build homes. Consequently /
real estate is becoming more active.
The months of November and Decem- :
Der were better than any in the year
1913. and January started out 1914 In
such brisk fashion there is every lndl-
cation that El PasO's real estate busl- {
ness will continue active this year. I
The bankers are all talking more pros (
perity than they were sometime ago, !
and 1t surely seems that is what 81 /
PasO is having
''The enlargement of Fort Bliss is /
about the bOiggest thing that has hap
pened in Ell PasO in a long time" said /
c. L. Sirmaus. Almost all the material
is being purchased Of FL PasO firms. /
FL PasOans are employed in the con- 4
structiOn. 1t is meaning the circula- I
ton of a large amount of money local I
" right now. The increased number (
of troops at the fort viii also mean I
larger amount of money in circulation
in Ell PasO. It is a big thing for 81 /
PasO from every viewpoint"
"The Hewett expedition to Guate- !
mala for the purpose Of studying arch {
aeOlOgy is composed Of u members"
says Miss Ruth Laughlin, member OF /
the expedition. I'VE sail on the 9TH {

MY brigade is in fine condition
now" said Gen. 2. A. Benavides as he
watched his troops maneuver for Gen.
Pancho Villa Monday afternoon in Jua-
rez. The men are rested. They have
all been furnished with new uniforms
and most of them have new rifles. Z GU

supplied with ammunition. I imagine
