If the figures for the estimated probable attendance
at the International Soil Products Exposition and Farm
congress seem large, 1t must be remembered that
when these events held at the same time IN Den
yer Colo September 20 October 10, 1915, the total
attendance was in excess of 100000 of which so percent
came from outside Denver When held IN Wichita Kan
sas October to 10, 1914, the total attendance was
$4,000 Seventy percent of that attendance came from
outside Wichita The railroads entering Wichita were
taxed TO secure enough transport the visitors
Mention OF the railroads brings up the fact that no
single agency stands benefit greatly from the big
gatherings to be held in FL Paso in October do the
railroads and from the officials IN charge
of the various projects and the great of interested
public look more confidently for cordial cooperation
The work of these two congresses and the exposi-
ton in behalf OF better farm methods throughout the
west has been of incalcuable value 10 this territory IN
developing the productivity of the SOIL influencing the
volume of grains and fruits exported and in incucang
an cumulative and social spirit among the agrcuurahss
of the region so that they demand convenlences
to be shipped to them travel etc From no other
source should the exposition and the congresses there
FORE receive hearty, voluntary and liberal assist
ance than from the railroads.
To be successful. these congresses and exposltons
require crowds-great crowds Ell PaSo wants the whole
southwest here and than just the southwest 1t
is to the interests of the railroads. well as measure
of community helpfulness to promote the gatherings

ARGE events are to occur in Ell Paso next fall;
public gatherings of magnitude unguessed prob
- ably by the majority Of people in the southwest
They are designed to draw the southwest into Fl Paso
and to inform and entertain many thousands OF people
That they will do so is beyond question if proper CO.
operation from every supports the earnest efforts
which are attending the preliminary arrangements
The events are the dedication of the Elephant Butte
dam the International Irrigation Congress, the In
ternaonal Dry Farming Congress and the Soil products
Exposition -, =,
The International Dry Farming Congress and the IN
ternationa Irrigation Congress delegate meetings
the former having approximately $500 delegates whose
presence is expected and the latter about 25OO
The International Soil Products exposition IS agri
cultural and industrial and the attendance OF $4,000 peo
pie from outside El Paso IS confidently expected Inc
total attendance including FL Paso people, Is expected
TO be about 100000
The bulk of the outside attendance will be from
within radius of 500 miles from FL Paso. By means OF
the newspapers and otherwise it is announced the event
is being thoroughly advertised throughout this territory
and through The Herald over territory winch very
greatly exceeds the 500 mile radius II IS intended TO
acouant every resident of the southwest that Fl Paso
is TO have attractions which will greatly interest every
one and to present the facts in such way as to create
the interest in advance of the event
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-08-01

and assist the people themselves by making rates to E
PaSo positively attractive When railroad equipment
must be provided any event. It is most profitable to
transport the people that IN way be induced
TO make the trp by making Just low rate as Will
still leave a profit for the railroads.
Excellent presidents in this regard have been set by
the southwestern railroads in making one fare round
trip rates to the Arizona State fair, IN Phoenix; the
New Mexico State fair in Albuquerque and the Texas
State fair in Dallas These gatherings draw large
crowds within the states and their transportation IS
profitable the railroads 1t will be as much or even
so for these immensely larger conventions to be
held in FL Paso.
The G. H & S. A railroad has already shown the de-
sired spirit of cooperation by making roundtrp fare
se from San Antonio to Ell Paso for the congresses
and expositions and fare roundTip rate from all
stations this side of San Antonio And the railroad will
the people transport There is doubt Of that
With the great of publicity to be given to the
attractions be presented in FL Paso and at the dedi
caion of the Elephant Butte DAM the people are bound
to come, that the railroad has made rates which
are in themselves attractions TO travel
Let the other railroads show the helpful spirit by
getting in line with the one fare roundtrip idea
