 i hope that some day you people of Bis bee may get together and pay us a visit. not siXty-five but six hundred and fifty strong"
 | T. D. Slater. president of the Fl Paso Herald Company. explained the l purpose of the Pep, Push and Prog ress" special, declaring that the Fl Paso city, being the natural distribut- ing point for the border. wished to have the friendship of and cooperate with. every district in the southwest. ] He pointed out that the futures of 1 both Fl Paso and other parts of the ! southwest depended 10 a large extent on their ability to work together in | the upbuilding of the entire region of which both are a part.
 i Urges Trade at Home Tt is an excellent idea that each community should do all of it's trad ' ing possible at home. We people of E Paso believe in this principle and are not trying to take away the trade . Of Arizona merchants and firms. But We do think that there are certain commodities that cannot be found in Arizona business houses and we ask that these be purchased from Fl Paso rather than from Chicago, Los Angel es, Denver or any of the other cities that are bidding daily for the trade of the southwest. A great percentage of the money spent in Fl Paso will find it's way back to Arizona through natural business channels, but this cannot be said of money which goes to the majority of other cities in the west. Fl Paso wants all the business you have that you cannot transact at home and in turn she wants to coop crate with you in every way
 Among other things. Mir. Slater urged that the communities of the southwest get together and advertise the resources and climatic advant- ges of the region, pointing out the example set by Californians, who vorked together in advertising Cali fornia as a whole instead of conduct community separately.
 Phoenix is Boosted |, Like the Californian who wandered into a church during lull in a funer- al service and asked if he might speak a few words on Southern Cali fornia, Captain Taylor, of the First Arizona Infantry. took advantage of an introduction to speak few words about Phoenix and the Salt River Valley.
 I'll admit that Bisbee is some pumpkins" said he, But it takes more than pumpkins to make a good pie, and I would like to remind you that Phoenix is in the heart of the Salt River Valley, which furnishes the eggs, butter and milk to help make the pie"
 G. D. Kellogg. manager of the local branch of the Mountain States Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, recit- ed two dialect speeches that made his hearers laugh until their sides ached. In fact, one of Bisbee's most prominent bankers almost laughed himself into mysteries and Kellogg re- trained from giving third speech for fear the financier might strain his vocal chords.
 Neslon Strong Speaker
 Joseph Nealon, one of the mosl prominent attorneys in Fl Paso. was the last speaker called on and he proved one of the best. Mir. Nealon, in stirring words, defended the Am erican people and answered the charge that they are "gold chasers" by saying:
 Tt is true that they are continually after gold. But they do not seek it like the miser, to glory as slides through their fingers. They seek it because every dollar they get means happiness in American homes and will help to make the world brighter for some American woman or some American children"
 Speaking of the welcome extended by Bisbee, Mir. Nealon said: q do not propose to praise the hospitality of these people. They do not deserve my praise for what they have done; hospitality and good fellowship were simply born in them and they cannot help acting toward us as they have today. It seems to be part of the atmosphere here. If Bisbee men could capitalize their silver tongue "n1 golden hearts the banks here would be bulging with money"
 At the conclusion of the speaking, the Pep. Push and Progress Sex tette" sang several numbers, after which the entire ensemble arose and sang The. Star Spangled Banner" accompanied by the Sixth Infantry band.
 The visitors left soon after mid nicNt for Fairbank and Patagonia on ( cir way to Tucson, Phoenix, Pres "ott and the Grand Canyon.
