J. A. Harden. an experienced baseball
man, has charge Of the organization
OF the Albuquerque club. He came
down to Ell Paso for the week end and
states that while things are a bit slow
in getting started in the Duke City, he
has little doubt that the fans there will
line up in plenty Of time for the open

OF Albuquerque is that they subscribe
equally with him in a stock company.

been pledged and committee from the
Commercial league is now endeavoring

Better Fire Protection.

The Village Council is digging a
we'll in the alley adjoining the TOT
toy & Co. steel garage building with
the intention of renting quarters in
the garage for the fire engine and
hose cart if the we'll proves suffi-
cient to supply the fire engine
which will pump $50 gallons per
minute. The we'll will be so s,tua-
ted that it will be possible to get
water without moving the engine at
all.
If it is successful it will prove of
great benefit to the entire business
section of the village in giving them
better fire protection. 1t should al
so result in lower insurance rates for
the section of the village that can be
reached from the we'll.
