advertisement in the compile
! tion of the Elephant Butte dam" said
W. S. Hopewen, of Albuquerque IF
a proper celebration is arranged, the
city will not only receive valuable adj
vertising, but it will bring valley land
customers right to the ground. The
matter should be aiken up with the
railroads so that attractive rates could
be secured, and this would insure a
7 large attendance. The dam is the big
gest thing of its kind in the country
/ and is the biggest reclamation project
ever undertaken by the government A
year from now ii will be an old story.
If the full benefit of the publicity that
I has already been secured Is to be had,
the celebration must be on big scale
and must come when the public interest

ANY counter revolution headed by
Felix DiaZ will undoubtedly fail" said
/ Miguel Leyva. of San Antonio. I was
in San Antonio when the peace confer
ence first convened and there was some
talk then of starting a new revolution.
/ do not believe, however, that even
those who favor such a move would
! he in favor OF putting Diaz at its head.
He has twice headed revolutionary
movements and both times has COM
] pletely failed. 1 am convinced that
4 should he attempt to Renter the re-
! public, Villa and Carranza would drop
I their differences and make common

I sometimes errors creep into the reports.

Business in. FL Paso is better than
it was in January" said T. r. Rogers,
and the indications are that the inn
I proYement is permanent. It would be
better. OF course, if Mexican money were
worth more; and it would be worth
more eff q greater amount Of money
I were coined to redeem the paper that
is being issued. But, in any event,
business is getting better, and it looks
as though FL Paso is going to enjoy a
good year
"As the Elephant Butte dam rises

sunling more of the appearance OF

visit than Cloudcroft or any resort in
this section, as water is the one thing
lacking at every place:

on West Missouri street was simply an
added proof to the many already shown
that something should be done to pro-
tect the citizens OF FL Paso when they
are going home late at night As in
many other holdups which have Oc-

never have been attempted had the
street been properly lighted. The sooner
done away with and replaced by a sensi-

at present the army has but one

that the government is considering es-

tive for Dodge Bros. of Detroit with
headquarters in Denver, is at the PasO
de- NOrte for a short stay, looking over
his southern territory and incidentally
interviewing applicants with a view of
selecting a direct dealer for FL PasO
Several local motor car men have
made application for this agency,
though nothing definite win be known
as to who successful party will be-"
said Mr.. HOughton, until I have made
a thorough Investigation of all appH-
cants.
Business depression in general"
said Mr.. HOughton, seems to have had
little effect on the motor car industry
to date. Manufacturers report the big
gest year in their history. Expansion
has been general.
Dodge Bros. are spending a full mil
lion dollars on additions and improve
ments to their already enormous works.
For Il years. Dodge Bros have been
known to the motor car trade as the
largest manufacturers of parts, in fact
during that period they have made
the vital parts for half a million auto
mobiles
MI HouShtOn Is very optimistic over
business conditions in southern New !
Mexico and Texas and. naturally. looks /
forward to a successful year for his /
company through their dealer in Ell |
Paso.
