LLT THOUGHT the recent editorial,
The Truth in The Herald
Il about the results of our watch
full waiting policy, was very well ex-
pressed said Franklin Harvey, Of Den
yer. 1T struck me very forcibly because
with Zapata in Mexico the result IS
Just what everyone who has followed
the Mexican situation expected. have
an army friend who was about to be
severely criticized for having said that
the moment the United States troops
were safely out of Veracruz the devil
would break loose in Mexico City.
PRESIDENT Wilson considered this crit
iclsm of his administration and the OF
ficer was notified to give an explana-
ton OF his remark. After Zapata's 1T
tie picnic in Mexico City I don't see
how the officer can be kept on the
carpet"
Anyone who has not seen the Ele-
plant Butte dam during its cOnstruc-
ton process has missed a wonderful
sight" said ". N. Small. After the
dam is completed the wonder Of it VIII
remain, but unfortunately it will not
be visible to the spectator. The time
to see 1t is now, while the colossal
structure Is still under way
Clever work with the rifle was wit
messed at the turkey shoot held Thurs
day morning at Sunset Heights SAID
W. NJ. Johnston. Although the birds
were placed upon small box
near the, shooters over a stretch
of broken land, the majority
of those who went out managed to bag
at least one turkey before returning.
The soldiers, principally sharpshooters
and marksmen, were very much IN eVl-
dence with their crack army rifles. one
soldier killed two in six shots while
another bagged one in three. The Ell
Pasoans who went out with their own
firearms did very good work"
THE football game yesterday after
, noon justified the popular prediction
that the high school has one of the
lied in recent years" said H. A. Bell
THE scientific attack of the Tiger
team against the Mines eleven showed
the results of good coaching and eN-
cellent physical condition. The Mines
showed that they are as game bunch
of fighters as ever played on the
Washington park field. When the pail
was all but over they came back and
held the Tigers to four consecutive
downs"
1.-THE offer of q. T. White to give the
county Of Ell Paso a beautiful tract OF
/ land near MontOya for park is a
| commendable one" said judge Adrian
I Pool. The city has many picturesque
| parks and other recreation spots, buI
} this is the first time, I believe, park
has been given the county. This park
( could be made a beautiful nook with
( small expenditure. 1t would be an
! ideal place for motorists to go during
! the summer days to hold picnics. Many
! of the counties of other states have
| these parks and they are very popular
with the people"
I within few days a meeting Of the
| scenic highway committee of council
and the Rotary club will be called,
/ said Walter 5. Clayton. The meeting
/ of these two committees would have
! been called at an earlier date but sew
/ eral of the property owners in the AL
| exander addition have been out of the
/ citv and the committee in charge OF
| the right of way did not have an op-
! portunity to see them. Those inter
| ested in the drive do not expect the
{ slightest difficulty IN obtaining
/ right of way around the rim of the
! Mesa. The expense Of building the
| highway will be comparatively small
! considering the wonderful asset it is
/ going to prove to the city. Already
| real estate dealers who are showing
| visitors property in the city improve
| the opportunity of taking the stran-
| gers to the Mesa to show them the site
of the scenic park and the route Of the
| proposed boulevard
