snowfall followed, and. -with the cold j
wind Monday morning', made the day
one of the most disagreeable of trie
year. .,..!
There were no paths TroKen Monday I
morning and the walks were sloppy I
with melted snow. The streets were
equally sloppy and slick and few JItne I
cars were operating and those which i
did brave the storm 'were not making !
any effort to follow a schedule but took
on passengers wherever they could get
thmi tyia minwtnsion of the nickel .
service caused many to be late to work
Monday.
Weather Instruments Covered.
At the weather office CoL N". l. Lane
reported that his weather Instruments
were 6 badly covered with snow and
Ice that an accurate reading of the
thermometer could not be made Mon
day morning but the temperature was
about 32 deerrees above zero. This is
not unusual for March, he says, al-,
though three-fourths of an inch, the j
estimated total snowfall, is somewhat
unusual for this month. There have I
been other snows in March in the his
torv of the weather office, however. The
forecast for tonight and tomorrow is
given as unsettled with indications for
snow or rain in the district of New
Mexico which also includes El Paso.
SnosV Wn General.
The snow was general throughout
the El Paso district, reports from the
railroads show. On the Southwestern
the snow fell as far east as Duran.
X. M.. and as far as Norla, N. 3L, on
the western division.
On the Cloudcroft line, there has
been snow for almost a month and four
feet of snow was reported from Cloud
croft Monday morning. The mixed
train is not being run any further up the
mountain than Cloudcroft, as efforts
last week to run a train to Itussia re
sulted in two engines being derailed
Ipv the heavy snow. It has been snow
nig and freezing for the past 30 days
in th.- mountains and travel by rail or
wagon roads is almost Impossible, the
railroad men sar.
The snow has tied up the automobile
passenger and mail line between Car
rizozo and Roswell In New Mexico.
Snow on 1. If. : S. A.
On the O. H. & S. A. the snow felt
as far east as Sanderson. Texas, and
v&s heavy along the line where It
reaches a higher altitude. On the
Southern Pacific, the snow was general
all the way to Tueson, the S. P. officers
say. An unusally heavy snowfall was
reported from Bowie, Arizona. The
Santa Fe also had snow on its Albuquerque-El
Paso division and the snow
extended down the Mexican Central and
Mexico North Western In Mexico. Even
the interurban line to Tsleta was cov
ered with snow and the big interurban
ears had difficulty in making their
hourly schedules.
Spring millinery suddenly lost its
Dooularitv Monday and coal was la
great demand. Winter clothing was I
dug out of trunks lor emergency wear
and a number of hurry up calls for
more coal and wood were sent to the
coal yards.
Races Postponed.
Because of the heavy snow which
covered the Juarez track and the dis
agreeable weather, the races were post
poned Monday afternoon. Entries were
being taken for Tuesday's races if the
condition of the track will permit the
horses to run.

What a Toothache This
Mastodon Must Have Had,
Big Tooth Found in Sand
i
A tooth as big as an aching molar I
feels was found Saturday by H. T.
Poasford in a sand pjt near the inter- j
section of Lawton and Roosevelt
streets. The giant tooth is believed to
have belonged to some mastadon of
the period before Park Pitman was i
county clerk. j
It measures JH inches by S3-4 inch- i
es across the grinding surface and :
more than a foot in- length. The frac
ture where the tooth' was broken from
1 the Jawbone may be seen plainly and
) the cups on the grinding surface arc i
j !ar! defined and nnnsnally deep.
! The mastadonlc tooth was uncovered
J l.y Mexican workmen who were dig
" -!m sand and a number of bones were
.Llt-w uncovered and carried off before
?m Ponsford arrived. One was a part
of the hip bone and was several feet
in lrPjtll.
The tooth was. weather stained and
natl the appearance of rusted iron.
.Judging h this dental adornment the
! mastodon must have been almost as big
as the Mills building.
TWO MEXICANS HIT
BY STREET CAR; DIE
Two unknown Mexican men were run
down by a Second ward street car
Saturday night at S:S5, and both died
from their injuries after being taken
to the hospital by the Electric Rail
way company. One died at 11 oclock
Saturday night and the other at S
olclock Sunday morning. They have I
not been identified, although a number
of Mexicans have called at the under- I
taker's to identify them.
The car which struck the men was I
a westbound Second ward car in
charge of motorman W. IL Bloxon and
conductor E. P. Moore. The car. bad
slowed down to make the crossing at
Broadway and was reachiing the west
side of the street when the two Mexi
cans, arm in arm. suddenly emerged
from a crowd that was standing at
tin- corner and stepped directly in

Didn't the.Monday morning:.storm make a convincing test of El Paso trans,.
portation serviced ' ' .
The man who stood on the comer and waited in vairi for a nickel auto to come
along and carry him to the office finally walked to the next block and found the '
street cars running on regular schedule. Many folks telephoned us to say that they
had lost their faith in the independent sen-ice and had begun to realize what it
would mean to El Paso if the street railway service were discontinued or reduced. .
On every line in El Paso people found the street cars running on the usual,
schedule and had a chance to contrast the service with the "fair weather." competi
tion of o.ther transportation mediums.
El Paso people are essentially fair. They realize that a transportation line to .
be of any permanent good to the city must give service in good weather and bad.
weather. 'It must give service on regular schedule. Some of them are wondering
why they encourage a transportation service that runs in fair weather and fails w'hen
it is needed most; since the business diverted in this 'way directly tetldceVmeBmouf.t
of money available for building up permanent and regular transportation, and for
improving street railway facilities. . , -
