I 4 L1AL EE1D4AAADls making 81
/ felony for any person to IN
lawfully sell morphine. CO.
I caine or any Of its kindred drugs. was
| heartily endorsed by every officer who
! attended the police chiefs convention"
| said chief i. n. Davis. AS the law nov,
! is an unlawful sale Of those drugs is only
] a misdemeanor and it may be for that
| reason the sales OF the drugs have
I alarminEly been on the increase. I have
[ witnessed the human wrecks made ty
those drugs and I tell you that it is
pitifuL The legislative committee Of
the association will now take up the
matter and use its efforts in seeing that
the resolution becomes a law. The prop
-, osition to give corporation courts ju-
risdicti0n Of pistol carrying cases,
believe, would result in speedier JUS
tlce and quicker action If It becomes a
law This was another resolution
adopted at the convention. Where the
corporation courts have jurisdiction OF
all offenders arrested on a charge OF
carrying pistols, the defendant would
get a speedy trial As II is the police
have to transfer the case. The defend
ant is let out on bond, or else he has 10
remain in the county jail until his case
comes up foIa trial which may be sew
eral months"
The ranchmen OF this vicinity are
certainly rejoicing said Ivy Finley
They have a right to feel joyous The
recent rains have been the hardest and
Of the mOsc soaking variety have seen
for many a day. The man who owns a
little bunch Of cattle is feeling good
these days You can tell one by his
smile II there are no other signs that
give him away Every cowman you see
Is wearing q. smile that won't come off I
IEEEE rams have the RANGE
mighty good condition and grass Is [
going 10 be fine Plenty Of grass and ]
water means tat cattle and fat cattle /
mean money. No wonder the cOwman !
IS smiling
Eastern Texas is being damaged by |
the high waters and crops will be late ]
and short this season" said R. II. /
Hoover. superintendent Of the c. H & $. /
A The rains have been falling all !
over the eastern part Of the state, the 1
fields are covered with lakes Of water, |
and IL would take two weeks for the I
land 10 dry out sufficiently TO allow IL !
10 be plowed- This Is going TO make 4
the crops late and ! am afraid the crop I
production in eastern Texas this year i
will be short"
Eastern travel and CIoudcroft bust |
ness has started with a rush that is en-
couraginG TO the passenger department |
Of our system said general passenger !
agent Garrett King. Our trains have ]
been carrying extra coaches 10 handle I
the traffic and the ClOudcrOft season I
has had a splendid beginning The l
train schedule and passenger service ]
are better than ever this year and II /

Il have never been in a city that was /
paved in the short time in which FL /
Paso adopted street paving for all Of I
its principal thOrOughfares." said Nat
" llsOn. mining man OF Parral, Mex
i believe that the street paving has
helped more than any other one i'm
provement 10 make FL Paso a modern I
city from the little border town it used
to be"
THE opportunities Of our southwest
eTn country are not as well known in I
other sections as they should be- said /
F. B. Hadlock- who has just returned /
from an extensive trip Particularly
our Elephant Butte dam. and the irriga-
ton project that viii make fertile so
many thousands OF acres OF land In
many places I had hard work TO con-
vince them that I was not exaggerating /
IN my statements about the resources
Of the southwest and the benefits that l
viii come TO IL through the dam We
should be better advertised and more :
publicity should be given to this sec
tipn- Phoenix has boosted the salt
River project until il is universally /
known Boise ldaho has kept the Twin I
Falls and the MinadOka projects well
advertised but for some reason our FL
eDhant Butte dam is not known as Il
should be even in places as near as New
Orleans"
As soon as We sign up two more
property owners non-residents both, we
Will make the san Francisco street
lighting scheme a reality" said A ".
Reeves All the property owners on
the street have siEnified their willing
ness 10 sign a five year contract for [
the light, except the two just men
toned I don't think we will have any
trouble with them The G. H & S A.
railway and the Union Station company ]
still remain TO come in, but We an
ticipate no difficulty in getting their
support"
