Editor, The Enterprise. t
Pecos, Texas.
Dear Mr. Editor:
As you probably know I was recently
elected mayor of El Paso and shall resigr
my place in the Senate in a day or twe
to assume the duties of that office.
During the time between my resigns
lion and the adjournment of this seaside
the business of the District, i* far if
my office aa Senator m concerned, will
he carried oa just the same and any re
quest that my constituents wish to com
municate to me should lie made to me
ol Austin, in care of the Senate Chair,
her, just ihe same as before. This if
because the Senate will allow my secre-
tary to act for me in matters of arranging
notary appointments, getting informatior
and communicating their desires to other
senators who will act for me. In thif
way the business of the District will gc
on without interruption, or, until my sup
cessor is elected to take my place.
I shall, of course, at ail times be glad
to receive personal communications fro«r
■ - ' District who daafee
or assistance. These
of the bells the twenty-pisce band dis-
embarked and moved to th« center of the
business district.
There* a concert and speeches were giv-
en, while the visitors called on the repre-
sentative merchants of Pecos “meeting
old friends and miking new,” as their
slogan reads. K
Then stay here was britif, only a half
an hour between trains. But in that
half hour more pep was instilled in the
riti*em of Pecos than has been for some
time. . 1
Pecos feels honored that these trippers
should have Pecos on their List of ’’live
ones.” And it is up to u» to stay there.
As their stay here was brief, Pecos could
not properly entertain them. However,
die Pecos Chamber of Commerce got out

a small folder containing a list of the
business houses 6f Pecos, and the folder,
pinned to last week’s issue of the Enter-
prise, was placed under each plate of the
trippers for breakfast at El Paso. That
was die only thing done by this town to
thaw their appreciation of the stop here.
Tito stop here was one «J sixty-four
stops to be made on a 2446 mile tour

business houses are * making under the
