Preparations for
The Holidays.
They are rapidly approaching
with their era of good feasting arid
gladsome cheer. However simple
or elaborate may be your prepara-
tions for them, every requisite for
the table will be found here in am-
ple variety and abundance. The
most famous Foreign and Domestic
Preservers and Canners are repre-
sented on our shelves. Our goods
are what they should be—the best
obtainable at the price. If describ-
ed as “Standard,” “Extras,” or
“Fancy” the serving will verify
our claims. No matter what you
buy from us, edible wholesomeness
can be relied on. Goods lacking
merit are never cheap—would not
give them shelf room if donated.
What we consider correct mer-
chandising is proper treatment of
customers, and is our style of doing
business.
Buy your supplies here and our
every statement will be verified.

Yesterday I. G Gaal served notice on
0: mmueloner Juan Armendarlz that
na would contest Mr. Artnandarlz’a
right to a Mat to tha oauoty oommis-
slouets’ ouort, m hla nottoa of oontest,
tar calling attention to tha order rr~
dUtrloting the county, Mr. Gaal aata
forth hla o a m tu these worda:
‘That under aatd order at said elec
Mon your contestant, I G. G\al, waa
duly elected to the office of county
commissioner of Eli Paso county, Texas,
of preolDot No. 3 That ha received
Id product No 3 as d.flaed by said
ordsr213 votee of the qualified and
legal electors of Preolnot, No. 3, the
earn* being a maj >rlty bf the votas of
the qualified electors of said preolnot
voting for commissioner of preolnot
No. 3 as defined by said order and de-
oree. That said oontest.ee, Joan
Armendarlz, reoetved only 18 j votes In
said preolnot No 3 That contestant,
at the tima of said eleottou and for
more than a year prior thereto wes, Is
and »ver since has been a citizen of
th» Uotted States, a resident of the
state of Texas, and of the preolnot In
and from whloh he was eleoted, and a
qualified eleotor thereto, and speaks
end reads the English language.
“Contestant further states that It
was the desire aud iatentlon from and
tu the order and deoree of said com-
missioners oonrt, as aforesaid, that the
election fur oonnty commissioners on
the eleotlon In November, 1896, as
.foresatd should be held as aforesaid
under said order and deorea. That at
the time of the passage of said order
and deoree the former preolnot No. 1,
bad In it more than five sixths of tue
wealth of the oonnty of El Peso and
more than three fourths of Its popola-
tloi; and that the old preolnot No. 3.
as existing prior to the said order and
deoree, waa radlonloualy small In
wealth, Intelligence and population as
oompared with any of the other pre-
olnots, and was what la known as El
Peso oonnty’a “rotten borrougb," the
inhabitants of whiob, mostly .being un-
acquainted with tha English language
ana largely unacquainted with the
needs, wants and requirements of a
progress:ve and vigorous Amerloan
mautolpality and community. That It
a notorious that said oil preolnot No.
3, formerly oatled “S oorro” waa the
pooket borrough and principality of
said oontaataa who has for a period of
time extending back a decade and a
half been repaatedly eleoted as Its
commissioner without an Interim. That
said oratestee does not speak the En-
glish language and that be oannot un-
derstand the proceedings of tha oom
mlsslonere oourt. That for tha par-
pose of ohangiog tha old regime and
ending this petty barony and the ob
vloue unfairness and Inequality In the
former division of said oonnty in re-
-ponae to an overwhelming pnblio
sentiment said ordar and decree was
passed with tha fall desire and Intent
to put It In fotoe at said also
tton. That by said order and
deoree, said old preolnot No. 3 waa en-
larged by adding to It a large portion
of the old and former preolnot No. 2,
Inolndlng the town and citizens of
Yaleta, formerly theooauty seat of said
El Paso oonnty, thereby creating a
preolnot with sbont five times the
wealth and three tim«s tha population
of aatd old preolnot No 3
“That aald order and decree was
originally submitted to the commis-
sioners oonrt without any expressed
provision as to its going Into effso ;
bat the fesr being expressed by one or
more of the commissioners that tba
-ff.ot of it might bs to change the
constituent members of the oommle
stoners osurt as then organized, the
provision In said order and deorea as
to tba time of the eleotlon was than
ir s tried, believing and Intending
thereby that said commissioners would
and intended to elect a oonnty com-
missioner for aald naw preolnot No. 3,
and that contestant relying on tha
proolamation of aald oonnty judge and
tha validity of aald ordar and daoree,
ran as a candidate for oonnty oommia
slonar of said now preolnot No 3 and
not for commissioner of praoioot No. 2
“That after tha alaotlon the oaunty

DEPRECIATED COUNTY 8CRIP
And lbs Poor Perm Banning the County
Into Debt.
Yesterday afternoon the Times man
fonnd County Judge Harper sitting In
his offloa wrapped In deep thought.
Ha was trying to think oat soma plan
oy whloh tha affilra of tha oonnty
oonld ba placed on a oaeh basis and
save to tha tax payers tha 30 per oent
they lose on every dollar’s worth of
dapraolated eorlp Issued by the oonnty.
When asked If he had agreed on any
kind of a naw finanolal policy Judge
Harper eald:
“I oan see but one remedy and'that
la to fuud tha Indebtedness of the
oonnty by the lssnauoe of bonds and
getting on a oash basis wa must remain
there by outtlng expenditures to fl;
our laoome. As long as our scrip is
worth ona hundred cents on the dollar
everything will be smooth salting.
Bat with depreolatad sorlp we most
necessarily go deeper in debt every
year for tba reason that wa mast pay
#1.25 tor ovary dollar’s worth of any-
thing wa bay; and at this rata out-
standing sorlp will lnoraaaa so rapidly
that It will dspraolata In value to
aboat 50 osnta on the dollar In a few
months.”
Judge Harper thinks the poor farm
Is a luxury tha county oonld afford to
abolish. “Last year,” the poor farm
oost the oouuty about tCOOO and tba
avaraga number of people In the poor
home waa twelve per day. Bay than
that last yaar the oonnty kept twelve
penpera at the poor farm the year
around at a oost of #500 for eaoh
pauper. Why 1 oould have boarded
the twelve at a hotel In El Paso at #25
eaoh par month, and saved #2400 to
the tax papers. I am told that this
yaar the oost of the poor farm will rx-
oeed #6000. So yon oan see that It is
a ooetiy enterprise. Then, too, the
water furnished there le bad enough
to kill even e strong, healthy man.”
Judge Harper la Investigating tha
affairs of the oonnty from top to bot
tom and ho believes that the landing
of the indebtedness would sbvs thou-
sands of dollar! to the tax payers
provided that aoonomio measurers
ware adopted to keep the oounty on a
oash basis after Its outstanding sorlp
is taken np.
