EXPRESS
SERVICE SOON
Traffic Department of the
Chamber of Commerce Gets
Day Off Shipments.

Fl Paso merchants will have the
benefit OF a through express service
from Kansas City and points east
within 2 few days. Because the
American Express company operated
on the Rock Island as far as Tucum~
sari and the Wells Fargo company
!, from Tucumcari to FL Paso. there has
never been a through express service
on the Rock Island.
This was taken up by the traffic de-
partment Of the chamber OF commerce
in order to get 4 through express serv-
ice for the FL Paso merchants over
these connecting lines from the east
Through the cooperation of the South
western officials, this has been made
possible and the traffic department
has been notified that a through eX-

City TO FL Paso and points west.
Connect with Fargo Fast
This car will be loaded at Kansas
City and will connect with the Fargo
Fast" an express train from Chicago.
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
other eastern cities. which runs into
Kansas City over the santa Fe lines.
In the past this Fargo Fast" service
has been routed by way of Albuquer-
que en- route to the Pacific coast and
II has been necessary to have express
matter from this train taken off at
Albuquerque and brought TO FL Paso on
the Santa Fe local train By the new
plan, this express matter for Ell PasO
and points west will come through
from Kansas City on the fast Golden
State limited and viii give the local
an express service which is
almost a full day better than that in
effect at the present time.
The service will be of especial bene- |
fit to the drygoods merchants and
other retail stores of FL Paso. The
fast express Will arrive here in the
afternoon instead OF the following day |

For the girls of Egypt the schools

to house, teach the women to read the
gospel, give a simple message suited
to the understanding of the women.

and in every way possible try to reach
their hearts with the message Of sal

gathered. The rumor spread like

Why, you stupid galoots, it's been
