EL PASO MORNING TIMBS, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1908.
RAILROADS HAVE BETTER BUSI-
NESS IN ALL LINES.
Local Passenger Traffic It Greatly
Increaasd— Freight Traffic Improv-
ing and Local Railroad Yards Pre-
sent an Active Appearance.
Both local and through travel on
all roads is showing a substantial in-
crease. The heavy tourist travel
■which passed through this city all
last week has about ended, but reg-
ular local and through travel con-
tinues and is on the increase, The
increase ip local travel Is particular-
ly noticeable. For many months lo-
cal travel has been very light, al-
though through travel has been good
for the past two months. It Is only
within the past few weeks that local
travel has begun to increase. The
increase is substantial and from pres-
ent indications will continue.
The freight business Ib also show-
ing a good increase. The livestock
business is probably the heaviest it
has been in months, in fact several
roads have more stock in view at
present than for two years previous
at any one time. Heavy shipments
of coal, coke and machinery is also
givng the railroads a greatly in-
creased business. The local freight
yards present a busier appearance at
present than for any time since the
general depression In business sev-
eral months ago. The freight busi-
ness, however, is slow to recover
from the depression, heavy shippers
feeling reluctant to invest to any ex-
tent. This feeling Is being modified
•gradually, however, and railroad men
believe wothin a few weeks freight
business will assume Its normal pro-
portions.

El Paso, Tex., Not. C, 1908.;
Editor Dally Times:
Years ago Appeared a book titled i
"Scalp Hunters," written by Captain j
Main Rend. The plot of the story was i
laiJ at J31 Paso, which was then hut
a small settlement, and in the day
when the Apache Indians were the
terriers of the west and often killing ,
entire settlements In the territory now-
forming Texaa, New Mexico and
Arizona.
Uvl ig In the aeitlement was a beau- !
tiful young woman not yet out of her !
teens, who was theMavorite of all the
settlers. One bright spring evening.
Just aftes the sun had set In the west,
and while the golden hue still lingered
on the horizon, as Ethel was returning
from the historic Rio Grande, where
she hud gong for a short walk, sud-
denly a band of Apache Indians seized
and canted her away. The alarm
was quickly sounded In the setllement.
and at the very first break of dawn
the settlers started on the trail of the
Indians, »nd after several days of
hardships, they came upon an old
temple where Ethel had been taken, it
was found to he the temple of the
"Sun Worshippers,” and through the
cracks n the old walls of the temple,
they saw her sitting to the right of
the high priest, she being draped in
a beautiful costume ornamented with
gold an.l silver.
During the late hours of the night,
the guard was seized and bound, and
entering the temple, the party rescued
Ethel and returned with her to the
quiet little settlement, nestling among
the white sand hills, on the hunks of
the old Rio Grande.
The next day there was a rejoicing,
because Ethel was lovod by all of the
settlers and in honor of her return
there was a grand feast, which was
held for years thereafter.
Mr. Editor, let us revive that feast,
and instead of having the Os-Aplt
parade, let us have 'each year the feast
of the "Sun Worshippers," ending
with a grand parade, at which time
beautiful Ethel will be escorted to the
city by a guard, representing those
who rescued her from the wild Apache
Indians. Not only would it revive an
old tradition, as pictured by Captain
| Read, hut It would be In keeping with
; former conditions of this part of the
west, and re enact scenes of long ago.

El Paso, Nov. 7. 1908.
To the Editor of The Times:
Dear Sir—Your Os-A pie parade Fri-
day evening was a delightful surprise.
I expected it to be good, but was not
prepared for the beautiful showing
made.
Twelve years ago I was In Los An-
geles during their fiesta. Their popu-
lation was about five thousand more
than that of El Paso, but their parade
was not as fine as yours, nor as
unique.
Both the races and Os-Aple celebra-
tion have been a revelation to me of
(he wonderful growth and enterprise
of El Paso. A. B. t.
