Eagle Pass Entertains Royally.
Eagle Pass is a royal enter-
tainer. Her treatment of the
press men and the commercial
club men last week was the
superlative of hospitality. A
large committee of open hearted
citizens met the guests at the
trains, placed automobiles at
their disposal every day, took
them to the coal mines, irrigated
farms the beautiful new school
building and other places of in-
terest. The Mesquite Club threw
open the doors of its splendidly
appointed rooms for the meet-
ings of the association, and its
reading rooms and pleasure
rooms kept the visitors pleasant-
ly engaged all the time that was
not otherwise occupied by the
business of the association, or by
receptions, sight-seeing, etc.
Saturday afternoon the ladies of
tbe Civic Club gave the city’s j
giiests a reception that will be
treasured up by each one of them
as one of the unalloyed pleasures
of a life time. Whatever good
may be said of Eagle Pass, and
there is much that may be, the
best must relate to its cultured,
beautiful and public spirited
women. We were informed
that it was through their assis-
tance that the town was incor-
porated, they are responsible for
ifs excellent and rapidly growing,
library in the rooms of which!
this reception was held, and they
are now at work promoting the
beautifying and better sanita-
tion of the city. At the delight-
ful occasion just referred to they
served sandwiches, coffee, choco-
late and tea. They pinned
upon each guest a large and
beautiful bouquet of violets and
their hospitality was so genuine
that every one declared this the
best feature of all the things en-
joyed on this' visit to the border
city.
Eagle Pass was ably assisted
in this entertainment by her sis-
ter city of C. P. Diaz, just across
the river. At the close of the
ladies’ reception Dr. Lorenzo
Cantu, a prominent citizen of C.
P. Diaz and formerly mayor,
took the visitors in automobiles
to that city of many attractions.
Among the places visited under
his thoughtful guidance wei;e
the Municipal Palace where we
were introduced' to President
Celso Farias and Secretary Pablo
Valdes, thence to the quarters of
the Casino National, a social
club, the Teatro Acuna, a splen-
did municipal opera house the
erection of ' which was started
under Dr. Cantu’s administra-
tion, Juarez Plaza and the monu-
ment of that distinguished patriot
who is known as the Lincolin of
Mexico, the official school where
a class in ochestra music delight-
ed the visitors with a couple of
El International, an excellent
newspaper of which Dr. Cantu
is the proprietor.
At the conclusion of the busi-
ness session Saturday night an
enjoyable smoker was given at
the rooms of the Mesquite Club,
where barbecue and various
tempting refreshments were
served.
Throughout the stay of the
visitors, Messrs F. V. Blesse the
mayor of the new corporation,
Jos. 0. Boehmer, editor of the
Eagle Pass News-Guide; W. C.
Barrickman, secretary of the
commercial club; a large recep-
tion and automobile committee
showed every possible attention
and courtesy. The program ar-
ranged was carried out in every
particular.. A closer bond of
sympathy and help was formed
between the towns of the section
embraced by the asssociation, a
basis laid for greater co-opera-
tion in the developing of their
territory and their common
problems were earnestly discus-
sed and many conclusions were
arrived at that will probably as-
sist in their solution. Wild cat
land schemes were depreciated
as a greater injury to the country
and a positive fraud upon those
who are induced to come here by
them. Town building was dis-
cussed, and many helpful sugges-
tions were advanced along that
line.
The next meeting goes to San-
derson.—Uvalde Leader-News.
the selection of Mr. Boehmer for
permanent president, a better
man could not have been chosen,
for it was he who conceived the
idea of forming the alliance be-
tween the newspaper men and
commercial clubs, thus bringing
together the two greatest indus-
trial promoters to be found any-
where, and when the commercial
clubs and newspaper men lock
arms in the industrial promotion
business something is going to
develop. We congratulate Mr.
Boehmer and can say he is the
right man in the right place.—

our State. When you get news-
paper men and Commercial Clubs
working in harmony—something
is going to happen. We are will-
ing to do what we can for the
new organization and will be
glad to do it. Count*us in, Boeh-
mer.—Floresville Chronicle.
Dr. Benjamin F. Berkeley re-
turned Sunday from attending
the Secretaries’ and Newspaper
Men’s Convention at Eagle Pass.
He reports the meeting a success
and that the good people of Ea-
gle Pass showed the visitors a
most delightful time. A number
of prominent men were in attend-
ance and the work started will
no doubt be of a great benefit to
this part of the State. The next
meeting of the Association will
be held at Sanderson, Jesse Mc-
Kee, of the Times, making the
winning fight for his home town.

The report comes from Eagle
Pass that the meeting there of
the southwest commercial secre-
taries was a success. The boos-
ters of the great southwest are
now one united body. It was
impossible for us to attend the
meeting at Eagle Pass on the 25
and 26 of last month, but we are
going to be there when the Dry
Farming Congress opens its reg-
ular session in August.—Marfa

Southwest Texas Press and Com-

their part in entertaining her
visitors.—Brackett News.
