THE NEW TRANSFORMATION.

The NEW CHARACTERIZATION
Suburban life is quite the thing
With our rapid transportation.
For every man rides as a king
OF Ell Paso's population.
stead of grasping a strap
He sits on a lap,
Or perched on the door,
Or squat on the floor
As the driver hOllers for more.
Mr.. Shelter daily can afford
To motor to his home.
As Mr.. Park on runningbOard
His homeward way would roam;
While Mr.. Boulevard even would
Sit spraddled on the autos hood.
In his autocar
Each may ride afar
In his flivver-flyer motorcar.

SLTTARRY CREIGHTON, who has
been transferred to the port
Il L of New York as a special
agent was the terror of opium snug
glers along the Arizona line" said C. E.
Lewis, special agent of the treasury
department. up to a few gears ago
most Of the opium Smuggling was done
close 70 Ell Paso but the smugglers
were finally rounded up. Then they
transferred their activities to NOgales-
Creighton has waged a vigorous cam
paign against them and has succeeded
IN cleaning up that district He has
also. made number of large cattle ana
the latter being made just Few days
ago. He held up $4,000 worth of gold
bullion that was packed in a trunk and
captured the alleged smugglers. He
has many friends here and has made
fine record m the service"

There is every reason to believe that
the situation at NacO viii be peacefully
settled" said F. Claudio Arispe. "Gen.
Hill is certainly showing that he is
willing to assistAin every way TO end
the intolerable conditions that have OBJ
tanned in NacO, Ariz. He cannot, OF
course, be expected to evacuate his po-
sition as he would be forced then to
cross the line. But throughout the
siege he has controlled his fire and Is
now willing to allow the MaytOrena
troops to retire without making an OF
fensiYe movement against them. II
this is done there is no reason why
the fighting should not be permanently
removed from the border"
Nothing could be prettier than to
see the fountain pool in Houston square
filled with water" said Rev. Perry J.
Rice. Il hope the day will hasten to
come when there will be water in that
pool The park is the prettiest in the
city and, with a fountain playing and
water splashing over the cascade Of
rocks, it would be beautiful hope the
park commission will find a way to
put water in this pool for the coming
summer"
when first came to Fort Bliss
over Is years ago the fort was quite
by itself out in the desert" said Capt.
A. P. Watts. TT would be almost i'm
possible to recognize the same place
now as the growth of the city toward
the fort has been so remarkable. OF
course it is to be expected that a city
would grow ard extend its border, but
FL Paso has surely made a remarkable
record in this respect The old head
quarters building at the post was
among the first of the buildings to be
erected there"
"a strong effort is going to be made
at the next session of the legislature to
secure a law making the special dis
trict court, over which judge Claude
B. Hudspeth presides, a permanent
court" said judge Dan N. Jackson of
the 34th district court "The FL Paso
bar has been very active in this direc-
ton and it is certain that bill will
be introduced. The necessity of third
court is keenly felt. The dOckets OF
all the district courts are overcrOwded,
and the two regular courts cannot
catch up with the cases waiting to be
tried"
r.
FL Paso during the coming year, will
do more than twice the building of the
year Just closing" said n. A. COmstOck
assistant building inspector 1T would
not surprise me If the the construction
work of 1915 reaches S4,OOO,0OO or
$4,000, 600. There is much work in con-
temptation, some Of which is certain
to start before many weeks. and a re
turn to normal conditions in financial
circles will be reflected in great build
ing activity, if all signs do not fail"
''The supreme courts ruling in the
Thaw case upsets the legal~precedents
of 200 years" said E. B. Elfers. an
my opinion, Thaw should not have been
extradited. The warrant charging him
with being a fugitive from justice was
erroneous, in that he was not a crimi-
nal The jury which tried him said he
was insane and there is no federal
statute providing for the eXtraditiOn
