Ell PASO HAS A WELCOME READY
FOR VISITING STOCKMEN IN 1919

P7HE FL Paso delegation went to the Panhandle and
Southwestern StOckmens association convention at
Roswell present urgent invitation to the stock
to hold their 1919 convention FL Paso. Everything
points to the success Of their mission and this city
the role Of expecant host ready to extend
the proper Inequalities when the time comes.
Fl PasO was made for convention city. Cullen Cain,
Of the Bisbee Review made that observation In writing OF
ms visit here. He said, in effect that almost everyone
stops in FL Paso at time another to the sights
and enjoy the hospitality which the FL Paso citizenship
and the fine hotel and cafe accommodations afford And
that is the truth We like neighboring and enjoy
visiting them We have no desire to secure more than
fair share Of the conventions, realizing that too much
visiting at any place makes for monoony. But FL
Paso is exceptionally well prepared to entertain
ton crowds and this city wants the Panhandle and South
western Stockmen's convention for 1919. Roswell made
preparations for 5000 visitors We would count about
twice many here and give them all a good time.
The stocuen having pleasant and profitable week
in their gathering renewing friendships, gathering
ideas and buying and selling cattle Catemen's
tons for the cattle buyers. There they
talk more business IN week than ordinarily in two
months
How It would surprise the pioneer cattlemen of the
southwestern plains and hills to their today
going cattlemens convention in automobiles They
would think It the srsngest Of all the changes the years
have brought. Time was when the catteen and their
families the bankers others who wanted to go to
livestock conventions and had hundreds of miles to 90
went the trains If that seemed too much of under
taking, they stayed at home IF the distance only rs
100 miles, they drove In heavy wagons rode their
cowhprse camping ont at night beside the trails It took
them several days week make the trip and long
get hack home again, but time great matter,
anyhow They never dreamed Of time when their kind
tached and would make Is to 40 miles
hour good roads to the convention town
This inspired by the fact that hundreds of cowmen
and their families have moored to the annual convention
Of the Panhandle and Southwestern Stocken association
in session at Roswell, New Mexico On Monday over
100 automobile parties had arrived With on
the way Many automobile parties made the trip from FL
Paso, distance Of 900 miles, approximately Not only
camen but many others took advantage of the oppor
tny TO motor through the country hill and down and
the broad plains In the mild spring weather Had all
the the cattle convenonists drove to Roswell been
parked in would have looked like roundup of
automobiles automobile show.
e Paso is looking forward TO the day when there VIII
be first class automobile road all the way from Fort
Worth this city When that time the days pre-
eedng stockmens convention here viii that long road
dotted with what viii look like automobile parade Ex
pedtng travel still more the day is coming when COW

light mouopanes and big passenger bplanes and FL
Psso viii have at place centrally located as
possible, big, level field for landing and rising, with
hangers around the edges Of it where visitors may check
IN storage their automobiles of the sky That is promised
f0 years hence however not for the Panhandle and
