El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-06-17

A carload of canned peaches ant
pears went to the city of Mexico last
week.
The company at the head of which
Mr., Bentley, also manufactures it:
own cans and boxes.
A shoe factory, operated by McClel
Ian & Bailey, is also Colonia Juarei
industry. A tannery is also located
there, while there are several flour
in the country bordering On Nueva
Casas Grandes. A wooden mill will
shortly be established at some one Oh
the colonies. There are several saw
mills in the pineries and brickyards
at Colonias Juarez and Dublan.
The railway shops of the Sierra
Madre railway are to be erected at
this point and J. II, James of Casas
Grandes is now organizing company
and endeavoriug to secure concessions
from the state and Federal govern
ments to erect an electric power
plant here which will be followed by
an immense saw mill that is expected
to give employment to $50 men. MIR.
James has been assured that the rail
way will shortly pierce the timber
belt and is equally confident that suf-
ficient capital will be raised by his
company to construct mill and put
in machinery that will turn out 100.
600 feet of lumber day. The gen
tleman has given the subject much
study and estimates the amount of
lumber readily accessible to the rail
way at two hundred million feet and
believes that fifteen million feet of
lumber yearly will yet be shipped
out of the Casas Grandes country.
What MIR. James hopes to secure
from the government before enterign
on his project is the right to the wa
ter power forever and an exemption
from taxation on his power and saw

MANUFACTURING.

The very gratifying success that
has attended the estab lishment of
the few industrial concerns this vi.
cinity can boast of in the short period
it has enjoyed of commercial life and
activity, is certainly stimulant to
to induce other manufacturers seek
ing a location to look this way and
investigate the resources that is to
make of Casas Grandes a metropolis
of distri It as large as any of the
New England States,
The warehouses now located here
find that in many of the lines in which
they are engaged, the duties on the
same class of goods from the United
States are nearly as great as the cost
of the goods ready for the consumer.
Casas Grandes really has no main re-
lance. AS a depot for the agricul-
tural products of the numerous val
equalled opportunities to the trades
man, no matter in what particular
line he might be engaged outside of
the particularly effeminate gee gaws
of "culchawed" swelldom.
Under the head of ''Electrical Pow
err will be found some informa ton in
what can be hoped for in that re-
spect.
Local people, confident in the fu-
ture greatness of the little empire in
which they have cast their lot are in
yestinp their limited means in indus

ELECTRIC POWER PLANTS.

There is sufficient water pow
err in the Piedras Verde, Casas
Grandes and San Miguel rivers
to turn the wheels of a half
dozen manufacturing towns, and
any of the small mountain stream
have a now wasted force that might
better be used in turning myriads of
Pelton wheels. It's only a question
of a short time when the great ener-
gy of the three rivers at least will be
harnessed and made to do service in
giving power to innumera BILE indus
trial concerns.
Projects are already on foot to es-
tablish electric plants at Casas Gran
des and Colonia Juarez. Power from
these will be transmitted to the 9TH
er nearby towns.
A tremendous force can be obtain
ed from the natural waterfalls above
COlOnia JaareZ, and a point at the
confluence of the Piedras Verde and
the San Miguel rivers is looked upon
as another very feasible location for
an electric power plant.
y. y. bentley Is dt the neaQ OIL 4
company that will in all probability
put up an electric plant at Colonia
Juarez within the next year, and J..
H. James is organizing a company to
build at the other location named.
The latter concern intends to erect
large saw mill and grist mill in
connection with the electric plant,
but it yet remains to be decided
whether it would be the better plan
to put up these mills directly at the
power plant site or build the mills at
Casas Grandes and have the power
transmitted to them over a distance
of six miles.
Parties who have canvassed the
towns to ascertain if a sufficient num-
Der of lights would be taken to in
sure their electric lighting becoming
a paying venture, have met with all
the encouragement from the railway

Prevent Charlton.

DR.. Edmond souehon, president OF
the State Board of Health, has issued
a circular letter in which he says:
The prevalence Of Charlton in the
parishes should arouse the solicitude
of all Boards of Health, lest the
disease may spread rapidly, when it
will surely attack human beings.
You should exert your influence to
have your animals which have been
exposed to Charlton, at once injected
with A~ntitoxine,
To burn the dead animals is the
only safe plan. When they are
buried, ever so deep, there is still
danger from the grass growing over
them communicating the disease to
animals eating the grass.
Great care should also be taken
regarding isolation of the animals /;
also the disinfection of all their ex.
cretions and the stables.

Get a Garbage Cart.

The business portions of town and
the thickly settled residence quarter
are not in a sanitary condition for
the reason that there is no provision
for getting rid of the garbage. A
wagon or cart could gather it up and
haul it away at small expense. 1t
would greatly aid in keeping the
town clean and would be an easy
way to dispose of the garbage.
There is much in the way of garbage
that comes from every house. 1t
cannot be burned and it ought not to
be throwed in the street. Every
house should be required to have a
barrel or box into which to put the
kitchen Stops and refuse. The town
could provide a scavenger wagon and
it could collect,the matter from these
boxes. One wagon could get around
to each house every three or four
days and this would be often enough.
If some arrangement could be made
for a wagon it would greatly aid in
keeping the town clean.

No Small Pox in Crowley.

The Crowley Signal does not rel
ish the discussion of the Small Pox
and it's management by the authori.
ties of that town. We give below
its remarks on the following para
graph published in the Gueydan
News:
GAS for the Acadia parish board
Of health, we know little, but from
what we have learned from 3 reliable
source, we are quite certain that the
Crowley health board have given
grounds for a big damage suit be-
tween the parishes of Vermilion and
A cadia, which win no doubt materi-
alize at an early date"
There is absolutely no reason why
these papers should cause themselves
such manifest distress. In the first
place, Crowley is 'sshipping OUT no
case of smallpox or any other disease.
The Crowley Board of Health has in
all probability gone to more expense
than any three of the other towns in
order to take proper care of cases.
| Before there was any sign of the dis
ease the board had established a
camp and provided everything neces-
sary, even to nurses.
When the disease appeared it was
promptly taken in hand. It has
been one of the foremost ideas of the
board to keep the town thoroughly
eanvassed for any new cases, and
this has been done carefully.
If the surrounding towns cared to
know about this matter and present
the subject in the correct light, it
would be a very easy thing to come
here and investigate the state of
affairs. Crowley IS doing her best
to care for her own patients, and in
all probability is doing more to pro-
tect the surrounding towns than any
other place in this section.
