"After the high line canal had been paid for." Dr.

Boyd stated, "the payments from El Paso for water and power could go on for paying for the Elephant Butte dam." Two Drops for Power, This high line canal would carry -inw secona xeet 01 water, ur. lioya said, and could be built to carry 20 00 second feet. From the Leasburg dam to the Montoya drop, near El Paso, there would be a difference of approximately 200 feet There would also be a drop at Las Cruces furnish ing power, ne saiu.

The resolution states in detail that German militarism was made possible through money ob tained from loreign trade, tnat armaments of other nations after the war will be determined largely by the size of German armaments, and that these could only be supported by rev et ae from foreign trade.

ADVERTISING AT THE 111! Til Chamber of Commerce Is Told of Some of the "Work California Is Doing. OPHELIA tin, after he had explained th-3 advantages of the advertising such a flight might give Dl Paso. "But we haven't the money for any thing of this kind," said director Shelton. "It would do El Paso a lot more good to spend $500 for this than several thousand as you did two years ago to buy sandwiches and Blue Ribbon for people here to attend a cattle convention." said director Martin. "But what are you going to do if you haven the money?" asked Mr.

Shelton. "You generally get the money for other things for instance the $10,000 the directors let local politicians spend on Democratic candidates during the state convention here three years ago," said director Martin. How El Paso Wonld Benefit. Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mr.

Martin explained that it Miss Stinson broke the world's record in her flight, if she made it from El Paso, every time she was spoken of in press or magazine. El Paso would receive a mention. TSven If she did not break a record, there would be dispatches in the papers all over the country showing that she had started her flight from El Paso, and. with the east shivering in blizzards, it would be good advertising zor lui Paso to snow tnat a woman could fly here Incidentally director Martin read articles from the Los Angeles Examiner showing that Los Angeles is raising $100,000 to be expended immediately in the east to advertise its sunshine and mild climate among the people who are being half frozen In blizzards. Bidding for Eastern Tourists.

Already Los Angeles has published page advertisements by telegraph in papers In Pittsburg, New Tork, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Cincinnati about its climate and inviting the people to "Come to California." "As soon as the word came that the east was in the grip of a blizzard." said Mr. Martin. "Los Angeles telegraphed these advertisements and Its business men began raising the money to pay for them. That's enterprise. That is why Los Angeles is noted all over the country.

It does things at the right time and in the right way. "We have a ten day stopover privilege in El Paso and your publicity committee had planned to advertise this last year in all the eastern papers, but our fund was cut down until we had barely enough left to pay for booklets we are distributing. We ought to advertise our advantages." It was announced by Otis Coles that the total of the budget fund reported up to date was $25,406, and that the amount was actually $26,000. Mar 'Com" Street Can. The request of 12 citizens to use the chamber of commerce for a meeting to discuss the street car company and Jltne service was granted.

Afterward director Joe Wright asked to be recorded against the motion, as he declared that the purpose of the meet was not to "discuss," but to "cuss" the street car company. He didn't think the chamber of commerce should be given up to such meetings when the street car company furnished free lights for the building. The directors held that the chamber of commerce is a public place, open for any public meetings "even for the saloon men to hold an anti prohibition rally if they want it i or saia director ricK.

Rules, Makes Mad People Glad.

After waiting over an hour at the Government Hill Junction at Copla and Hueco streets, for a street car, the two passengers who were able to crowd on the first street car that came were surprised Wednesday morning to find themselves hurried down town in exactly 17 minutes. It's a long story and exemplifies the saying that "it is always darkest be fore dawn." Here it goes: The writer, at about 7:33 oclock. went to the corner of Copla and Bis- bee streets to wait for an incoming Fort Bliss car. After about ten minutes' standing an outgoing car came along. The track is entirely single there and that meant there would be no incoming car for some time to come.

The prospective Pot- ter-jitne passenger then walked to ward Bliss street, hoping there to find a friendly Jltne bus that would arrive before a car. nut about a dozen other persons had beat him to this corner, where In the good old jltne days the nickel 'automobiles came along about one every two nilnutes. Grocer Keeps Passengers Warm. He walked to the Junction, one block beyond, and there found about 50 people waiting to be conveyed down town. It was cold outside and the proprietor of a grocery at the corner invited every one to wait inside his warm store.

The writer was told that numbers of other persons had tired of waiting and started to walk down town. Others were in the grocery telephoning their employers that they would be unable to get to their worK on time. More Coming. Says Conductor. At exactly a Fort Bliss car came and those who had waited longest said they had been there over an hour at this time.

The car did not stop, being crowded to the rails, but the writer jumped aooara it on tne fly. Passengers were packed in the conveyance like sardines. The conductor slad further down the line a car was off the track and that other cars, four or five, would be right be hind him. Passenger Handles Bell Cord. The other side of the story began shortly when a passenger, believing he could run the rear end of the car better than the conductor, who had rules to follow, took charge.

The conductor was relegated to standing room and the passenger took charge of the bell rope, giving signals in such prompt fashion that when he reached his destination, in the neigh' borhood Of the E. P. W. office building, it was 8:15 oclock. Every body was smiling, despite the fact that there had been such a long wait beiore.

Xo Seats; Boys Don't Fay. The car being so crowded, the writer was unable to get to this friend at the helm and ascertain his name, but his dlSDatch showed he should have been a traffic manager for the street car company. He had a sense of Justice, too, lor at one time one or two boys boarded the car and started to pay, and the writer over heard the sen appointed conductor say, "Save your money, you're not getting a seat. Traffic Bunches at Piedras. Equal to two carloads of passengers waited at street corners for inbound street cars and Jltnes upward of an hour in a radius of four blocks east of Piedras street, between Alamogordo and Bliss.

Wednesday morning, many walking to Boulevard, while three street cars went eastward, but none toward business puces. At about oclock hand brake car 31. a Boulevard only, took a load from the Piedras corner, but took on standing passen gers at more than half of the corners on the way in.

One man reported seeing two Fort Bliss IS cent Jltnes bowling along empty, because, as he said, the council doesn't allow them to pick up passengers Inside the city limits, except at the Carnegie square station, outbound. "What good is double tracking the electric system going to do ween there are not sufficient motors and trailers on the rails to give more frequent service?" queried one passenger, whose toes had been freezing nearly an hour. Loone Wire Ties Up.

Motor. Loose barbed wire, caught by the wheels of an outbound Fort Bliss car at a point between the Altura Park sub station and Grandview. was the cause of the tleuD of cars on the post line, Supt. W. E.

Wood said Wednesday morning. The wire rolled around the car axles and gear and short circuited the electric current eanslng the motorman considerable trouble before he finally drove the motor to tort uiiss, where he was able to let other cars by. "We gave regular service on Boule vard from Piedras into the city," said Mr. Wood, "and regret that the delay came at such a rush hour around Government Hill Junction. The trouble crew was hurried to Grand- view as soon as we heard of the bad oraer motor.

Judge Late Openlnjr Court. County Judge W. P. Brady did not get to his court until 9:50 Wednesday morning. He left his home at the corner of Grant avenue and Rosewood street at 9 oclock and waited the rest of the time at the corner of Rose wood and Boulevard for a street car.

Court should have opened at 9:30, but me judge, wno nan counted on making the trip In half an hour, failed to make It, owing to the street car aeiay.
