Will Locate in Alpine.
J. W. Calloway of Houston,
was here Sunday prospecting for
a location for a dry goods and
millinery store and to a represen-
tative ot this paper expressed him-
self as being well pleased with
Alpine. Mr. Calloway has
turned to Houston to make ar-

Has Good Opinion of Alpine.
W. M. Roberts, the popular
representative of the Pecos Mer-
cantile Company, was here last
week and when asked by the wri-
ter as to whether his firm expect-
ed to establish a branch house
here he said: "We have had
our eyes on Alpine and in all pro-
bability will locate a branch of our
business here, though just when
this will be done, has not been
determined. I believe Alpine is
going to be a city and we want to
get in on the ground floor." Mr.
Roberts is also of the opinion that
Alpine is the logical terminus of
the Pecos Southern railroad and
savs in his opinion, if any induce-
ment is offered this company,
they will certainly build here.
Robber Plant Closed.
L. B. Caruthers, receiver for
the Marathon Rubber Company,
came up this week. Mr. Caruth-
ers stated that he had closed the
plant down and would not operate
it again unless the court so order-
ed. The supply of shrub has
been practically exhausted and it
will be several years untHl the
new growth is sufficiently large
enough to gather. Under his
splendid management the plant
has been enabled to pay much ot
its past indebtedness and had
there been a sufficient supply of
material to have kept the factory
going he would have been able to
tide over all financial difficulties.
New Butcher Shop.
I wish to announce to the peo-
ple of Alpine and Brewster
county that I have opened a
butcher shop in the Alpine Power
Co. stand and will be pleased to
have your patronage. I have se-
cured an experienced meat cutter
and expect to handle the choicest
of meats. Give me a trial.
