ML PASO DAILY TIMifiS, FRD»* v. APRIL27. 1900.
It is rarely that you will find so well assorted a stock of
Young Men’s, Boys’ and Children’s Suits
as we are showing this season. The reason for this is that most clothiers find this department of the clothing business unprofitable. You see, big boys’ long trousers suits
cost pretty nearly as much to make as men’s suits, though they have to be sold for much less. Clothiers usually do not like to sacrifice profit. We are of a different opin-
ion We think that we could have no better advertisement than to be known as the store that sells young men's c’othes. cheaper than any other store in this city. How
well we deserve this reputation we will be pleased to prove to you and your young men at your earliest opportunity. Young men’s suits fiom $7.50 to $16.50.

THE STORY.
The Sierra Madre Offered
Inducements by Na-
corasi People.
TALKING EXTENSION.
Bat C, D. Morgan'. Vl.lt Had No Connec
Uon With Any Extensive Deal—A Chat
With Ueneral Manager Kam.ey 1. En-
dorsed by Mr. Morgan—Phelp., Dodge &
Co. Want the Sierra Madre to Touch
Their Prooerty at Nacora.I.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock E
D. Morgan, principal stockholder and
vice president of the Sierra Madre road,
J. P.lRamsey, general manager of the
road, C. I. Reeves, and Colonel Robert
Emmett of New York, and Mr. DeGon
der, of the Corralitos company, return-
ed from a trip down the Sierra Madre,
in General Manager Ramsey's private
oar.
The party left here last Saturday
morning on a special train. They vis-
ited the Corralitos ranch and mines,
stopped at Dnblan, and from there went
to Terrazas, where their private oar re-
mained two nights and a day. They
then returned to Casas Grandee and
made a side trip ont to the Tres Alamos
ranch.
Yesterday afternoon, on the return
of the party to this city. General Man-
ager Ramsey took his gnests for a drive
over El Paso. However, before return-
ing to Jnarez the special train stopped
two honrs at the Jnarez smelter, which
was thoroughly Inspected. When a
Times reporter called at Mr. Ramsey’s
residence in Juarez to interview the
gentlemeri, the active and capable
yonng manager of the Sierra Madre
Line said:
“Yes it is trne that we are talking
about extending the road; but this visit
of Mr Morgan’s is not connected with
any extension scheme. Since the death
of Mr. Solon Humphries, Mr. Morgan
has become president of the Corralitos
company and he came out here to in-
spect the property of the company; and
being vice president and principal
stockholder of the Sierra Madre road
he naturally wanted to look over the
line while here.”
CONFIRMS THE STORY.
In confirmation of the story published
exclusively in the Times, to the effect
that the Dodge Phelps company had
offered the Sierra Madre people induce-
ments to build their extension by way
of Nacorazi, Mr. Ramsey said;
"It is true that Phelps Dodge & Co.
want onr line to touch their property.
They want two outlets instead of one.
Bat nothing has been agreed upon in
that matter. It is yet to be ascertained
if the benefits that would accrue to the
Sierra Madre people from an extension
to Nacorosi would prove ample com-
pensation for the expenee our company
would incur. Captain Smith made a
reconnoissanoe through the district,
and more recently other parties were
sent over the proposed route.”
Mr. Morgan confirmed Mr. Ramsey’s
statement. He said he was out here to
inspect the Corralitos company’s prop
erty and acknowledged that his people
are considering the matter of extend-
ing the Sierra Madre. When plied
with questions relative to reported
deals, pending, for the extension of the
road General Manager Ramsey smil-
ingly evaded direot answers saying:
"Yes, Yes, we are talking abont ex-
tension and will oontinne to talk until
something happens. Honestly, Mr.
Morgan is not here on any extension
proposition , and Colonel Emmett aim
ply accompanied toim as a friend.”
According to report, however, Colonel
Emmett accompanied Mr. Morgan on
this trip as the representative of a cor-
poration desirous of becoming interest-
ed in the Sierra Madre road.
Last night Mr. Morgan, Colonel Em-
mett and Mr. Reeves, left in their pri
vate car over the Santa Fe for New
York. Mr. Ramsey was in the oar with
Mr. Morgan until the train began
moving ont of the depot. Every one is
confident a big deal is on, but General
Manager Ramse y and- his people are
keeping their own confidence and cannot
be induced to talk, consequently the
pnblicwill have to await developments.
WASHOUT NEAR LANGTRY.
It Interfered With the G. H, and 8. P.
Traffic Yesterday.
TheG. H passenger train from San
Antonio, due here early yesterday
morning, did not arrive nntil a late
hour last night. The eastbound pas-
senger which left here Wednesday
night, on reaching Sanderson found
there was a washout 25 feet deep and
90 feet long. Superintendent Martin
hurried to the scene of trouble with a
force of men sufficient to repair the
damages by 2 o’clock yesterday after-
noon.
The S. P. passenger train for Califor-
nia was made up in El Paso yesterday
morning and sent west on schedule
time.
Local G H. officials do not think the
Langtry washout will occasion any
greater inconvenience to traffic oyer the
line than the delay of the two passenger
trains and several freight trains for a
few honrs yesterday.
MEXICAN CATTLE COMING
Twenty seven Carloads Arrived Over the
Seirra Madre Yesterday.
The movement of Mexican cattle into

agreed to submit his name to the
State Democratic Convention for

missioner; and,
Whereas, his residence amongst
us has demonstrated him to be a
man of strong and incorruptible
character, of the highest sense of
fairness and justice, of a clear and
comprehensive understanding of
the many problems arising out of
the transportation of passengers
and freight by railroads, and a
complete knowledge of all details
of the railroad question acquired
by many years of active and suc-
cessful service as an employe in
different capacities; and,
Whereas, it is our opinion that
out State Railroad Commission
should be composed of one practi-
cal railroad man of not less than
ten years experience, one success-
ful business man and one good
lawyer;
Therefore, Be it resolved, that
we heartily endorse the candidacy
of the Hon. E. P. Curtis, and earn-
estly recommend him to the de-
mocracy of Texas for the nomina-
tion for Railroad Commissioner.

MR. E. P. CURTIS
Formally Announces His Candi-
dacy for the Democratic Nom-
ination for Railroad
Commissioner.
The following resolution, offered
by T. C. Wilson, was unanimous-
ly adopted;
Whereas, the Hon. E. P. Curtis,
formerly of this county, but now
residing in the city of Temple in
Bell county, is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Rail-
road Commissioner; and,
Whereas, we know him to be a
gentleman of the highest character
and ability, well fitted by years of
practical experience in the railroad
business to properly discharge the
duties ol the high office which he
seeks; and,
Whereas, it is our opinion that
there should be one practical rail-
road man on our State Railroad
Commission;
Therefore, Be it resolved, That
we heartily endorse the candidacy
of the Hon. E. P. Curtis for Rail-
road Commissioner, and commend
him to the Democracy of Texas as
a staunch democrat and a man en-
tirely worthy of their highest con-
fidence
ROGER BYRNE, Chmn.
Temple, Texas, March 8, 1900.
In announcing my candidacy for Rail-
road Commissioner, I wish to say to the
Domocracy of Texas that I have had fif-
teen years of practical experience in rail-
way service and feel that 1 am competent
to properly discharge all duties of the
office which I seek, and if elected I shall
contribute what I can to further increase
the efficiency of the Commission.
1 am a firm believer in State regulation
of railways and have supported the com-
mission idea ever since the movement
began in Texas. 1 believe the authority
of the commission over the operating de-
partment of railways should be increased
so that they may compel the railroads to
provide safer and quicker transportation
of passengers and freight.
There is no question but that the phys-
ical condition of Texas railroads and the
service given the people are not what
the volume of business handled justifies,
and I am in favor of taking such steps as
will have a tendency to produce a change
for the -better.
The railway employees of the State
heartily endorse my candidacy and be-
lieve that the Democratic party can well
afford to graqt this, their first request for
recognition on the State ticket.
E. P. CURTIS.
ENDORSEMENTS
From Prominent Citizens of Bell County.
To the Democracy of Texas:
We submit to your thoughtful consideration the candidacy of Mr. E P.
Curtis, of Temple, for Railroad Commissioner
We commend him to you as a scrupulously honest, broad guaged man
and one who is eminently qualified for this position of great responsibilities.
Having had fifteen years practical experience in railway service, he will, if
elected, bring to the Railroad Commission a vast fund of knowledge relating to
the question of transportation in all its varied phases.
We further submit that in our opinion our State Railroad Commission
should be composed of one practical railroad man, one successful business man
and one good lawyer, as we believe was the intention of the majority of those
who favored its creation. •
Mr Curtis will be glad to have you address him personally at Temple,
and any suggestion that you may offer him relating to his campaign among the
Democracy of your county, will receive at his hands prompt attention and the
most careful consideration.
Bespeaking your earnest consideration of Mr. Curtis’ qualifications for
the high office which he seeks, and assuring you that he will appreciate your
support of his candidacy, we are, most respectfully yours,

GRAND DIVISION
ORDER OF RAILWAY CONDUCTORS OF AMERICA,
{iICedar Rapids, Iowa, March 20, 1900.
E. P. CURTIS, Esq., Temple, Texas.
Dear Sir and Brother:—I have your favor of the 10th inst., advis-
ing that you have decided to become a candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Railroad Commissioner of your state, and expressing the hope that I
will render you whatever assistance I can,
I assume that the Democratic nomination for the position would be prac-
tically equal to an election.
I have always been, and am still heartily in accord with the idea of hav-
ing a practical man on these Railroad Commissions, and I know of no man in
your State who I think would bring to that position a more thorough knowledge
of the conditions which the Commission must watch over, or a more earnest
disposition to master the problems which would come to you for solution. 1
consider you qualified in every sense for the place, and you have my very
best wishes for your success in your efforts to secure it.
I assure you that I will be glad to do anything 1 can consistently to
further your candidacy. Yours truly in P. F..
“TfrtA, E. E. CLARK, Chief Conductor.
