BLOCKED CROSSING.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
Yesterday afternoon a long line OF
cars, street cars and pedestrians was
kept waiting while an eastbound &.
P S ". passenger train took its
leisurely course across Oregon street
Before Il had cleared the crossing,
a westbound train took up the good
work, and caused another long wait,
when at last people were able to cross
the tracks. a long train on G. H & 5.
A. tracks drew its weary length over
the s. P. crossing. It made a speed OF
possibly one mile per hour, or less and
finally stalled. AS the minutes went
by while the train rested, the line OF
Fl Pasoans had accumulated until il
extended far up Oregon street The
writer waited for a considera bic
length OF time, and finally went four
blocks away to effect a crOssing-and
the train still remained there resting
peacefully
Thousands Of dollars are spent in
educating the people into economy
save one slice Of bread a week, and
help win the War"-yet the economic
waste Of these daily delays in FL Paso
counteracts all our self denial and
economy many times over. In time
alone. thousands of FL Paso people
are wasting more time waiting for
these trains to cross the heart Of our
city, country town fashion, than can
be saved in weeks OF HoOverizing.
