RIO GRANDE DAM h IRRIGATION co.

The idea of being obliged to irrigate
the land in order to have to produce
profitable crops was long great bug
bear to the people of the United States.
as they " ere disposed to consider such
land of little or no value but time"
that wonder worker, has done much
to wipe out this idea. and the
re-ults of irrigation in California.
and Arizona. Utah, Colorado. anu
Nebraska have entirely proven how
sure and profitable farming has become
by that method. New Mexico has suf-
fered more in this respect than most
localities. and her lands have long been
looked upon arid, and useful for little
else than sheep rai-ing. ct today the
same opportunities secured in the above
mentioned state, are lying right in our
midst, and the profitable openings for
the construction of ir' igntion dams and
reservoirs are located over the whole
territory. Nature has done her share
and all that is needed is enterprise and
capital to utilize her gifts. Many sites
for the construction OF irrigation works
are available " hich will irrigate lands

SOLID FACTS AND FIGURES.
Deposits Have Largely Increased in the Past
Year, and Cash on Hand has Gain
ed in Like Proportion

No date is more significant to the peo-
pie of this city than 1881. That was the
year Ell Paso ceased to be a mere clust-
er Of few frontier cottages and became
a live, ambitious, fullhedged town with
banks and other institutions of pro-
qressive commonwealth. 1t is with
that year our financial history begins,
for in April 1881, the State National
bank was established, and in June of
the same year, the First National bank
opened its doors for the transaction OF
general banking business. To give
the records of the banks of Ell Paso
since that time is to outline in closest
detail the history of the whole city. In
every new enterprise, every undertake
ing of Importance in the rapidly devel-
oping metropolis, the hands of the
bankers can be traced, helping and
guiding, if they were not indeed the
originators of the plans. Was a new
project to be considered? The bankers
were consulted first: if they discredited
its wisdom, better let it pass: if they
endorsed the idea and promised their
support, then go ahead with every
reasonable certainty of making it sue
cess Was any plan suggested to adj
vance the city's growth or interests:
The bankers were the first men to be
seen without a doubt of their hearty
encouragement and very material
support.
The financial barometer is the most
distinct indicator of a peoples prosper
ity and progress THE history of its
banks relates the history of its pro-
gress." The financial prosperity OF the
banks reflects the progress and adj
vancement of the city. OF the men
who control our banks it may be said
of them, as class, that they possess
marked ability: are bold without being
rash, and courageous without being
foolhardy; just the kind of men needed
by community like ours of rapid
growth and infinite possibilities. In
formation of detailed character, con-
corning the banking houses of this city,
and the men who manipulate them. is
included in the following interesting
resume.
