The residents of Ell Paso must recog-
| niZe the need of a market house in This
city, not only in the light of cleanli-
ness ana utility but as a paying propo.
| sition. Take for instance the present
| method of selling vegetables and fruit
In those miserable shacks Of stores on
San Antonio ST. There is forever an
emulation of filth and even smells
which alone are dangerous to the
health of the city. Not only that, but
in the absence of cold storage the pro-
duce exposed to the heat of the sun
is sold in stale and UNBEATABLE condi-
ton. 1t is to the interests of the
whole community that movement for
the erection of a suitable market house
be inaugurated. 1t would be econo-
mically practical, and would be man
aged through the mediums of an exc
cutive board.
In every town of any Importance
throughout Mexico there is a market
house; all of these have proved to be !
great benefits as we'll as financial sue
cesses.
Take for instance, Tampico, Mexico.
a town OF only 5000 inhabitants. The |
market house there was built by the
state and the municipality at a cost of
500, 900. 1t is built of stone. lighted
by electricity, has a good restaurant,
and cold storage is provided at small
cost to vendors. The concession was
granted to Messrs. Bsnnister & Smell
for period of 80 years, who paid the
twenty-five per cent of
The net returns. They were exempt
from all taxes from the state and mu-
and were protected by the
latter by.compelling.all vendors of per-
lsbable goods 10 sell in the market
only. They were shortly afterwards
bought out by the municipality for
800, 600, and at present it pays a net
return Of 527OO per month.

Register.

We publish in another column
the appointments made by the
Registrar for the new registra-
tion to be made in this parish.
According to the law of 1898,
every voter has to register if he
intends to vote. All those who
registered last year have to do it
again this year. No one will be
permitted to vote, even in pri-
mary election, if he has not reg
istered. All those who registered
last year under the 5th clause and
all those who own $500 worth of
propery will be permitted to reg
istcr without the necessity of
filling out an application. Those
who have not registered under
the 5th clause and who do not
own $500 cannot register unless
they can fill out the blank appli-
cation to be furnished by the
Registrar.
We trust that all veters who can
register will take advantage of
the opportunity offered them and
that they will call on the Regis
trar when he will visit their res
pective wards and have their
names placed OH the registration
books.

This nation must sooner or
later turn its thoughts seriously
to the problem of road building.
The antiquated and stupid meth
DDS which now prevail will no
longer do. Those who under
take to build our roads must have
the necessary understanding Of
the work before them. The prim-
tive plan of having the farmer
work out his tax by doing his
share of the work for which he
has as little fitness as he has for
any other form of skilled labor
outside of his own calling must
give way.-St. Paul Globe.
