J the other two deliver The HeraIds
through the Ell Paso valley in Texas.
Two five passenger Fords,N None Ford
truck and a five passenger Hupmobile
are used on The Herald Routes
The Ell Paso Herald's first delivery
route was started nearly four years
ago to Clint, Texas, % miles east of
FL Paso. At first The Heralds were
delivered at sub stations only. Sub
scrlbers living along the route had to
call at the sub stations for their paper.
After this service had been in opera
tlon for nearly three months, the sub
station scheme was discontinued and
the papers are now thrown from the
auto as 1t passes the homes Of sub
scrloers During the four years Of
ms service, not a single days delivery
has been missed.
Second Route Established,
The first delivery route was such a
success that a second one was es-
tabIIshed in December, 1912, going
through the Mesilla valley to Las
cruces, New Mexico, the round trip
distance of which is So miles This
one also proved successful; the other
routes followed, both being established
just recently.

Weather conditions in this country
are favorable for such service in the
winter. The few snOwfalls are light
and do not interfere with traffic
Owing to the paved roads, the summer
rains never interfere with the work
While delivery of papers by auto
mobile is expensive, it is profitable
The increased circulation is the big
factor. Since the automobile delivery
was established, The Herald's circula-
ton in the Mesilla and Ell Paso valleys
has increased over 100 percent. The
records show that nearly 95 percent of
the English reading families in these
two valleys are subscribers to The EI
PasO Herald.
Cars Owned by Individuals.
The automobiles used on The
Herald's delivery routes are owned by
individuals. hired by contract The
owners add to their income by carry
ing passengers, parcels and freight
Passengers are charged at the rate of
five cents per mile. No parcels are
carried for less than twenty five cents
The drivers also take orders for butter,
poultry and eggs, which are bought
from the ranchers and sold in Ell Paso
at profit On The Herald's new de-

has just started, freight is carried as
side line instead of passengers. a
light truck being used.
The Ell Paso Herald building is To-
Gated in the heart Of the business sec
ton, and is made the passenger station
for all of The Herald's auto lines.
Readers will notice by the accompany
ing picture that The Herald auto leaves
directly from in front of The Herald
building. Sometimes as many as 20
passengers are in T--e Herald office in
single afternoon waiting for The
Herald autos to carry them up or down
the valley. One of the clerks in the
circulation department is known as
the passenger agent" and sees that
the autos leave on schedule each day.
Another clerk has the name of "ex-
press agent and it is his duty to see
that all parcels are dispatched prompt

waiting climate, put in a kennel or
upon a bench, to be petted and admired
and subjected to the attentions of
professional or amateur breeders,

The consequence was that the sort
OF St Bernard dog finally produced
in England was quite different from
his fOrebears on the snowy mountains.
He grew larger, heavier, and less ac-

developed until, on a visit to the St.

mountain cousins for a canine Curl

And yet, amid so many circum-
stances calculated to destroy his gen

nard retains the kindly, benevolent ex-
preston of his Good Samaritan ances-
tors, and their impulse to perform acts
OF unselfishness. If these dogs were
savage in disposition they would be
very dangerous not only to children
but 10 the strongest men. 1t is quite
common for them to measure 80 inches
in height at the shoulder, and to weigh
$50 pounds. There are instances in
which the weight of such dogs reaches

The Dog Heroes Of the Alps ,

THE dos is an admirable and us

1.-THE dos is an admirable and use
full animal-outside Of cities. His
whole nature units him for city
life, and under the influence of that
life he degenerates Among the noblest
of all dogs in character and appear
ances are the celebrated st. Bernards,
whose history is a remarkable example
o. what training and environment will
do with animals.
The St Bernard dog takes his name
from the old bOspice of St Bernard,
which was established nearly a thou
Sand years ago, on the summit of the
pass bearing the same name y hich
leads from the valley of the Rhone, at
MGrtigny in Switzerland, over to the
Italian side of the Alps. 1t is the pass
over which Napoleon led his army in
1900. 1t is said to have been in use
by the Romans hundred years before
Christ
The famous hospice or asylum Of
refugee was established by Augustin-
ian monks, Jed by st Bernard of Men
thon, and it owes its celebrity largely
to its dogs. 1t would not be easy to
find another instance of the develop
ment of new and distinctive breed of
animals as a part Of the daily work
of religious institution For hun
dreds Of years the monks of St. Ber-
nard have devoted themselves to the
service of travellers going over the
Alps and first Of all 70 the aid of I'M
fortunates lost in the SHOWS of the
pass. In the performance of this self
imposed duty they early found need
of the assistance Of dogs, and many
centuries ago they began to develop
the type of dog known to us as the
st. Bernard
The precise time and manner Of the
origin Of the first St Bernard dogs
are not certainly known. 1t is said by
some that the stock came from the
Spanish side Of the Pyrenees. At any
rate, it seems TO have been demon
strated that the original breed is ex-
tinct and that the present strain was
developed by the monks from cross
between some mountain dog and
Great Dane. The original type is said
to have been kept pure until about
the beginning of the 18th century
Fifty or sixty years ago English dog
fanciers began to import St. Bernards'
and they soon produced a type quite
different from that found in the. Alps
