EL PASO DAILY TOMES, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1899.
W.J. BRYAN INVITED
TO OUR CELEBRATION
THE GREAT ORATOR WILL PROB
ABLY ARRIVE NEXT THURSDAY.
City Connell Telegraphed jir. Bryan an
InTitntlon at Uonaton - Last Meeting of
the Pan.de Committee—I’r.parallon. for
the Grand Bal- Marque — Something
About the New State Convention.
It is probable that Hon. W. J. Bryan,
the matchless orator of America, will
arrive in El Paso on the Kith to address
the new state convention on the even-
ing of that day—next Thursday.
Mr. Bryan is in Houston today and
last night Mayor Magoffin and the city
council wired him an invitation to visit
El Paso on the 17th. and this morning
the Bryan Silver Club will telegraph
the distingnished Nebraskan to come
on the 16th. The club will also notify
him that the expenses of the trip will
be paid by the club If Mr Bryan can
reach here on the 16th he will deliver
an address at the opera house that
night
To Doc A. K. Albers is due the credit
of being the first to suggest that Mr.
Bryan be invited ‘ He will be in
Houston tomorrow," said Doc Albers to
a Times reporter, “and if we can get
him out here on the 17th, it will be the
biggest card we could play to draw an
immense crowd to our celebration. All
of the silver men in New Mexico, Ari-
zona and west Texas would come here
to hear Mr. Bryan speak. As an orator
he has no equal in the United States
and even gold bugs enjoy his eloquence.
If the city will ex'end the iuvitation
we will attend to the expenses ”
As Doc Albers says, if Mr Brvan
oomes his presence will crowd El Paso
with visitors on the 16th and 17th.
WANTS A MEETING MONWAY.
Capt. (Jhas. Davis, chairman of the
parade committee requests the Times
to state that there will be a meeti g of
that committee held at his office Mon
day afternoon at 3 o’clock, and every
member of the committee is urged to be
present. Chairman Badger, of the ex-
ecutive committee, is also requested to
attend, as Captain Davis wishes at that
meeting to perfect every detail for the
parade on Friday.
The McGmty band is practicing for
the celebration and will hold its own
with the fine professional band of the
Harrison Dramatic Co., which will be
in the parade. Gov. Abumada is now
in Juarez and the mayor will know to-
day if his excellency will attend the
celebration.
It is understood that a number of the
prettiest young ladies in the city are
preparing a surprise for their friends at
the bal masque. They will wearsome
very handsome and attractive costumes.
A vonng society man has been trying
to induce three of his friends to join
him in impersonating D'Artagnau and
the three musqeteers—Athas, Aramio
and Porthos. Some one should see to
it that Uncle Sam is represented in his
pew role as an imperialist. It is learn-
ed that the eockless Socrates of Kansas,
accompanied by the strong minded Mrs.
Lease and her weak-minded hnsband,
carrying the children, will attend the
ball.
The invitation committee is still bus-
ily engaged sending ont ball invita-
tions. A number of orders for ball
costumes are being received from Mexi-
can poiuts.
NEW STATE CONVENTION.
A prominent attorney of Pecos says
he is coming to the New State conven
tion accompanied by abont fifty friends.
Delegates are also coming from Marfa,
Barstow and other poiuts in West
Texas.
Tomorrow Otero county will hold a
convention at Alamogordo to select 15
delegates to represent that county in
the New Slate convention.
The San Francisoo Chronicle speak-
ing abont the New State convention,
says:
“The organization of this new state as
planned would be the salvation of south
ern New Mexico and would harry for-
ward the upbnilding of El Paso to me-
tropolitan proportions. We can easily
understand why the people of southern
New Mexico and of western Texas
should favor the scheme; iheir interests
are identical and the young state under
progressive laws would populate south-
ern New Mexico with a desirable class
of American citizens and capital would
not be afraid to develope the resources
of the country. But Texas will never
grant El Paso and west Texas a divorce
at least not in this generation.”
Judge J. F Crosby will call the con-
vention to order next Tuesday and will
welcome the delegates. In case Hou.
W. J Bryan accepts the city’s invita-
tion to be present the convention will
not meet until in the afternoon when it
will be addressed by Mr. Bryan, who
will at night deliver a lecture.

As the Sierra Madre country has dev-
“loped there has been an iucreasiug de-
mand there for all kinds of oils. This
has induced a good deal of prospecting
being done for oil and it is claimed that
several localities show good indications
of oil, and that the probability is that
should wells be sunk in the vicinity of
Carretas and Galeana oil would be
fouud in paying quantities. However,
as the b Ting fur oil is an expensive
operation no definite action has ever
been taken. The general government
and the governments of the different
states have from time to time offered
rewards for the discovery of oil, but
still no efforts have been made to earn
the reward.
But it is now stated that parties in
Chihuahua working iu connection with
eastern capitalists propose to organize
a strong company to bore for oil iu the
Sierra Madre section where the streams
show indications of oil, and where the
geological formations bear a mark-
ed resemblance to those of noted
oil regions. It is also said that
special inducements will be offered
by the general government for carrying
on the work. It is understood that the
same persons who have become inter-
est d in the oil fields near Corsicaua,
Texas, are back of the enterprise. It
has been known for some time that
there are indications of petroleum iu
several localities in northwestern Chi
huahua, but hitherto no special atten-
tion bas been given to the matter. The
iucreasiDg demaud for oils iu Mexico
has now invited notice to the subject,
and it is proposed to sink wells iu the
neighborhood of Carretas and Galeana
where it is the opinion of experts a
large flow of oil can be obtained.
The thousands of gallons of oil an-
nually shipped into Mexico prove wbat
a big thing the discovery of petroleum
would be. Coal oil is now used in al-
most every hamlet in the republic; and
the vast amouut of all kinds of machin-
ery, which is being introduced iu the
different lines of business, has created a
demand for lubricating oils which has
doubled withiu the last two years
The great oil firms of the United
States have taken note of these things
and their representatives are scattered
throughout Mexico. But it is said that
no where in proportion to its population
has the oil trade increased so rapidily
as iu the Sierra Madre country. The
n iniug camps and towns quickly con-
sume all that can be shipped into the
country and the demand still contin-
ues to increase.

ble informed that coal and linseed oil,
gasoline and turpentine, axle grease
aud all classes of lubricating oils will
be shipped to Casas Grandes by the car-
load, and it is intended to begin these
shipments immediately. This will lead
to the construction of a large ware-
house in which to store the goods, and
also offices. This new general agency
is to have charge of several sub agen-
cies and will represent an investment
of many thousand dollars.

Say So
If you have anything to sell, say so—
and SAY OUT LOUD. There are
plenty of buyers in your community,
but your competitors are after them.
Don’t let them get ahead of you.
Lead the procession yourself. Once
you get a customer don’t think you
have him cinched, for your competi-
tors will take him away unless you
keep offering to him an inducement
to come again
