Q_ £ the rose. This is not only feasible, but the day is not far distant
when that important element—agriculture—will be added to the
many blessings which this city now enjoys.
Speaking about blessings—we wonder if you people really do
appreciate your unsurpassed climate? When we returned home
after the holidays, having finished our work in your city, we saw
the effects of the terrible blizzard that Eastern Texas experienced
during that time, and heard the stories of ice three inches thick
in Dallas, and all that. When we stated that El Paso saw none
of it—that you know nothing of such things only by reading
about them, that you are three thousand miles from Klondike
and Klondike weather, everybody who knew us and believed us
wanted to move your way.
