Yesterday afternoon a Times repre*
sentative found a party of six or seven
gentlemen, standing in front of the T. &
P. ticket office reading and discussing
the following item in the Las Vegaa
Optic:
Though the controversy concerning
the Ei Paso railroad convention i* vir-
tually at an end, by reason of Albuquer-
que’s having called a convention at that
place to consider the Rio Grande exten-
sion, it affords The Optic much pleasure
to be able to reproduce from the E! Paso
Times, the following calm, but weighty,
utterances:
Then follows an editorial from the
Times to tho (fleet that El Paso knew
what she wanted when she called for a
railroad convention; she wanted an air
line road through White Oiks to Denver
etc. But what made the party of El
Pasoans angry was the statement that
Albuquerque had called a railroad con
vention to meet during the Albuquerque
fair. All of the gentlemen were very
angry and said they thought the Times
was doing wrong in calling attention to
Albuquerque’s fair and urging the at-
tendance of El Pasoans. One 0! the
party said:
Of course we do not care about Albu*
querque’s railroad convention. Bbe can
have a dozen If she wishes, but it is the
contemptible selfishness of her
people that makes me mad. Their
papers are forever slandering El
Paso, while the Times, our paper,
continues to help every enterprise Albu-
querque undertakes, The Albuquerque
papers, so I understand, have resorted
to every means to try and break up El
Paso’s railroad convention, and while I
know their efforts in that direction can
not avail anything, still I would be
mean enough, if I was editor of the
Times, to pay them back in their own
coin. Why should El Paso endeavor to
make Albuquerque’s fair a success when
the people of that town are so bitterly
envious of El Paso?”
Our friend can be easily answered. It
is true that the papers of Albuquerque
have .exhibited a very despicable spir t—
a selfish, hoggish spirit, but itdotsnn
hurt El Pasu, and the people of Albu
querque are not entirely responsible for
the actions of their papers. If the peo-
ple of Albuquerque want to hold a rail
road convention they have a perfect right
to do so. They cannot interfere with El
Paso’s, even if they held one on the same
day. Denver’s commercial interests will
be represented at the El Paso convention,
unless the Times makes a big miBtake in
its estimate of Denver’s commercial
sagacity. But there is no occasion
to believe that Denver will
not be represented when her press and
business men have already endorsed the
movement and have assured El Paso they
would be here in strength.
As for the Albuquerque fair the Times
gives it favorable notice because this
paper has more readers in New Mexico
than have the papers of Albuquerque,
aud the fair iB a matter of interest to onr
New Mexico patrons who are not in the
least responsible for Albuquerque’s sel-
fishness, And besides it does not injure
El Paso one particle to help the people of
Albuquerque. El Paso’s future is assur-
ed and her preBtige as the commorcial
center of the southwcBt established and
the only rivals she recognizes are Kansas
City, Denver and Los Angeles, and the
last named city can scarcely be called a
rival. 80 El Paso's only rivals are Den-
ver and Kansas City, and when the El
Paso and Denver air line tarough New
Mexico is completed Kansas City will not
be in it.
Leave Albuquerque alone gentlemen

A very quiet weedding took place last
night at the home of Mr. Frank Powers,
and that gentleman himself officiated as
one of the principals and Miss Jennie
Hardin was the bride. Only a few Intis
mate friends were present to witness the
ceremony, which was conducted by Rev
Mr. Moore. Frank Powers is one of El
P&bo’b well known (young business men,
being a member of the firm of Buchanan
& Powers, architects and contractors and
planing mill men. Mr. Powers is a
splendid young man and has hosts of
friendB In El Paso. The fair young bride
is a most estimable young lady and has a
large circle of friends. Heartiest con-
gratulations are tendered.

The county commissioners court was
in session yesterday with Judge Blacker
presiding and a full board of commis-
sioners present. The proposition of M.
W. Stanton to collect baejt taxes due the
county was accepted and a contracted
tered into.
A warrant for 375 dollars was ordered
drawn in favor of W. W. Beall, of R)by,
Texas, for services in surveying Fisher
county school lands. The report of
County Surveyor Parker on the survey of
the same lands was approved and ordered
spread on the minutes. The surveyor
was authorized to purchase a book for
the recording of the Fiaker county lands
and he was further authorized to make
two maps of the lands.
A vote of thanks wa3 tendered Con
gressman Lanharn for furnishing the
county a map of the United States.
It was (rdt red that the claim of ex-
Assessor Fink against the county for
81018 50 be allowed on the contingent
fund, GOO dollars of the amount to be
paid to the State National Bank and the
balance to E. M. Fink.
City Clerk Catlin appeared before the
court aa a representative of the cily to
ask if the county would pay anything
and if so how much for the purpose of
opening up Kansas street upon which the
court house fronts west.
8. W. Russell and Z. B Clardy owners
of the property which it would be nec-
essary to purchase to open up the street
were present and offered to sell the
property to the city and county for 7,200
dollars.
Commissioner White wanted the city
to explain why it was necessary to widen
the street. He said the property which
the gentlemen wanted to sell the city
and county for 7,200 dollars was only
assessed at 3,800 dollars, and that its
value had been returned by the owners
at 3 500 dollars.
A committee was appointed to confer
with city council and the court adjourn-
ed until 10 o’clock this morning.
After court adjourned Mr. Clardy ex*
plained to the reporter that the property
which himself and Mr. Russell desired
to sell for the street was assessed last
year at 14,500, but that this year the city
reduced valuations and increased the
rate of taxation; that it was thought the
state and county would accept the city
valuations and that was why the proper
ty was returned at 83,500. He stated
that no man in the city was paying taxes
on the full value of his property and cit*
ed the assessed valuations of certain
property on West Overland and Santa Fe
streets He says the property offered
for the widening of Kansas street fronts
50 feet on 8au Antonio street and 137
feet on Kansas,
It is more than probable that if the
street is opened the county will have to
open It as the city is not particularly in-
terested in changing the alley into a
street if the county prefers having the
court house front on an alley.
B»ae Ball Newa.
A G. Spaulding, for years secretary of
the National Base Ball League, and a
large dealer In base ball goods, in com-
pany with another gentleman has pur-
