TO. ADVtR'ISE EL PASO.
What El Paso needs to develop her
mources is abundant capital.
With the view of attracting the atten
lion of the entire financial interests of
this country to the advantages of tlris
«ity and the surroundings, to the many
profitable investments we can offer and to
the great future in st re for El Paso, the
Times will isue a "Special New Year
Iditioh" on the First of January next.
A copy of this edition at our expense,
will be sent to every bank (national,
•tate and private) in the United States, to
loan and trust companies, brokers lead-
ing insurance companies and financial
institutions generally.
Nothing of this kind has ever been at-
tempted in this section and no one can
fail to appreciate the advantages of such
an edition of this paper.
The value of thi, to El Paso cannot be
overestimated. It will draw the atten-
tion of the entire banking and allied id*
terests of the * hole country to the mar-
vellous advancement and possibilities of
El Paso. It will result in the investment
here of much money from distant parts.
We will therefore ask the liberal pats
ronage of all »bose interested in such
work and we will promise to give full
value for every dollar paid for that pur-
pose.

OUR CunbRts MAN bPEAKS.
It is with pleasure that we give space
IB this issue to a letter from our highly
esteemed representative in congress. Mr.
Lanham, giving some valuable sugges«
tio.is about our greatest interests, name
ly: the big dam, the big fort, and last
but not least a reciprocity treaty with
Mexico.
We recommend to our merchants and
property holders a careful study of the
whole situation and hope they may be
able to unite upon a policy that may be
pursued and a committee to be appointed
woose interests are ful>y identified with
Si Paso and with sufficient comprehen-
sion to take hold of and work for all
th 'se resources.
The people of El Paso favor the most
liberal treaty with Mexico, so liberal in
all respects as to wipe out the free zone
Bnd every other obsta le to a free and un-
obstructed commerce, indeed just as free
as the commerce between the states of
our union.
We hsve always believed and believe
now, that while the free zone has worked
losses to our government it has caused
tenfold greater losses to the government
of Mexico.
We do not>tate that it has dose so, bat
it is plain that its tendency is to corrupt
the people and the officials on both sides
It creates a rendezvous for smugglers;
ba1 feelings between the people on both
sides, aud is pernicious in all its influ-
ences.
We du not seek any advantage of our
neighbors, but we do not wish to give
them advantages over us A fair exohange
is all we want.
The constitution of the United States
prohibits class legislation or slse we
might get a free zone on our side which
would enable cur merchants to import
foreign goods and smuggle them into
Mexico thus depriving her of her
just revenue. If the coustitution of
Mexico was like ours and as it should be
in every republic, their people would be
more prosperous and happy.
For Mr. Latham, we are happy to
state that he has succeeded in his efforts
to secure us a custom house and post
office, a session of the United States
court, and indeed everything our people
have asked of him, and we believe he will
succeed in all these three great enterprises
if success is possible, and we c n vouch
for the good will and support of ourpco*
pie.
Washington, Nov. 27, 1889
C. R. Morehead, Esq., B1 Pa?o, Texas:
My Dear ttir: Your letter addressed to
me at Washington was forwarded to my
h< me Address and received just before I
left Texas for the capital. It seems to
me that the initial step in the measure
of the international dam on the Kio
Grande is to secure the consent and co*
operation of the Mexican government. I
believe I expressed this opinion to yours
self and others while iu your city. The
boundary matter and the deprivation of
the Mexican water supply constitute the
real federal questions in the p-©position,
and their presentment and submission
are, I think, appropriately first in order.
To say the least they should accompany
any movement on the part of our citizens.
Of course I shhll be quite j;lad to hava
the r esistance and suggestions of any gen-
tl* man your people may designate to aid
me in the premises. It is not
likely that any general legislation will be
enacted before the first of January, in-
deed the committees in the house will
n<<t probably be appointed for several
weeks after congress meets. As you sre
doubtless aware. I have heretofore given
attention to the matter of your military
post. It will bfT rd me *;reat pleasure to
do anything further within my power. 1
fully appreciate the importance of what
you say in reeard to the free zone and its
detrimental effects both to our border and
the interior of Mexico. You may re-
member that at tbe beginning of my ser-
vice in congress I presented this matter
to the secretary of state, submitting a
letter from you aLd a petition from citi-
zens of El Paso, which were made tbe
basis of diplomatic correspondence be-
tween the two governments. I have also
i nvited attention to the question on the
floor of the house in the effort to make it
a subject of international negotiation I
can perceive no way out of the trouble
except through a reciprocity treaty, un-
less the Mexican people shall conclude,as
some of them seem now to believe, that
it is a disadvantage to that part of their
country not embraced within the zona
lioie, and of their own motion, take the
necessary steps to its abolition.
Thanking you tor your kind letter and
valuable suggestions and assuring you
that I feel a deep interest -n all that cons
cerns the substantial prosperity of your
city and the people along the Rio
Grande. I beg to remain with cordial
good wishes, Very truly,
Your friend,
8. W. T. Lanham.
Thk Lincoln Independent of the White
Oaks country says; . Most of the tele-
grams in the Albuquerque Democrat of
tbe 24th appeared in the El Paso Times
of the 23rd What's tbe matter Colonel ?
That the bauta Fe road will further
postpone its interest in this c ty seems
evident from the following from the St.
Louis Republic, whieh says: "J. S
Leeds, freight traffic manager of the Mis-
souri Pacific, returned yesterday from
Chicago, where he went expecting to
me-et J. Waldo, freight traffic manager of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Com*
pany, to confer with Mr. J. F. Goddard,
third vice president of the Atchison road,
on behalf of the southern interstate asso-
ciation. The Atchison having given
notice of its withdrawal from the aesocio
ation on account of the disagreement con
cerning El Paso rates, Mr. Waldo started
for Chicago, but owing to the train rob-
bery on his road, was compelled to turn
bach and so failed to meet Mr. Leeds.
Mr. Leeds says that Mr Goddard express-
ed himself as fully appreciating tbe im-
portance of tbe step which the company
propose d to take and as willing to recon-
sider the matter. A further conference
will be held and it is quite possible that
an amicable adjustment of the dispute
will be made."
