town was invaded on Friday by a band
Of Boosters" from Mexico, that hust-
ling city to the south Of US, whence
comes every day the electric car bear
ing the greater part Of the commerce
which supplies the shelves Of our mer-
chants. The crowd was composed Of
about fifty of the representative
business men of Mexico, who came
for an initial ride on the electric line
1.-THE most Of them TO meet our bus
mess people and to see one hustling
little town. They brought with them
q brass band composed of about ten
or twelve members who furnished
lively music both on the streets and in
q number Of the business houses. The
company had sent word to the Snyder
sisters Of the Santa Fe Hotel to pre-
pare dinner for about fifty persons.
All who were served at this popular
hosiery were loud in their praise of
both the viands served and the efici-
ent manner in which they were served.
The weather on Friday was very I'M
propitons. but notwithstanding all
seemed to thoroughly enjoy their visit.
The regret Of the people Of Santa Fe
was that the visit was so short, as the
greater part Of the visitors returned
to Mexico on the return car, only al
lowing about two and a half hours
while here. However, the members Of
the party were busily engaged, and
besides visiting our merchants made a
short visit to our pubic schools. Pro-
fessor Browning informed the visitors
that while now our schools was very
inadequate, we hoped in the near fu-
ture to have a school building Of
greater capacity with high school
courses added to the grades. The Wis
TORS expressed themselves as believ-
ing that such a hustling little place
would surely get such a school, as well
as other needed improvements, if they
go after them. The visit Of the Mex
leo Boosters wal thoroughly enjoyed
by Santa Fe citizens, and we hope to
have them with us many times in the
future-Mrs. Mary Anderson visited
