During the months in which Ma
jor Davis, the official collector
has been making the rounds OF the
various mineral districts Ell Paso has
been more talked about and written
about in these places. with reference
than ever before. The letters she
major has written from the various
camps to the chamber, and which have
| been published in the HERALD, have
| been copied far and wide by news
papers. and not only Ell Paso but the
| whole surrounding mineral district ha
been benefited by this work.
1t is we'll that the cham Der from the
first has recognized the great impor-
lance of the material industry to this
section, overshadowing all others. L,
is to the mining industry that we
must look for the building up Of the
city. Mines make railroads, railroads
make cities, cities make markets for
the metropolis, Ell Paso. Ell Paso will
expand because men with muscle and
with capital are digging away in the
bowels of the earth, taking the trea-
sures out of the store house of the
ages, and turning them into the peces-
sities and comforts of living.
The report of the secretary Ia full OF
hopefulness for the future. The results
that have been SO far accomplished
have been remarkable. The financial
resources of the chamber have been SO
small as to hamper the work to con-
siderable extent, but at no time has
the chamber been in debt, and in the
six mon tbs IL has succeeded in planting
itself firmly. The business men OF the
city have been able to see the results
of effective cooperation, and they are
beginning to realize that ii is only
through organization that the best
and greatest good for the 'city can be
accomplished.
1t has been an active season, and 1t
is we'll that the good times have not
been allowed to pass without taking
advantage of them. What has been
done is but the beginning of a great
work of pushing the oity of Ell Paso
to the front. The chamber has tried
its strength, and now it will be
ready to undertake greater tasks
than formerly. There is no limit to
the amount of good that the chamber
can accomplish, if it is not too serious
ly hampered by lack Of funds. 1t is to
be hoped that every business man will
read the secretary's report and try to
realize the necessity for his individual
active support, with money, brains,
and hard work, of the organized work
of the chamb Der.

A HALF YEARS WORK.

Today the HERALD prints the first
part of the semi-snnual report rendered
to the president and board of directors
Of the chamber of CT mmerce by the
secretary, Ernest E. Russell. The
report Is we'll worth reading in full
Never before has any commercial body
in Ell Paso accomplished 80 much in go
short Q time as has the cham.
Der of commerce. Its early
lite sphere of usefulness has been con-
stantly expanding, so that the members
have kept up their int rest, the con-
Germ has not stsgnated, It's energy Ia
uni impaired. and every day there is an
Increasing disposition on the part of
business men to assist the organization
In every possible way.
1t Is interesting to note how the work
of the various committees has led up
to the greater accomplishments of the
half year. The system has proved to
be substantially correct, and the mis-
understandings that have occurred have
been for the most part disagreements
OF she chamber has been effective. 1t
has accomplished much for the good of
the city. 1t ought not be necessary
now for the secretary in making his
rounds to explain what the money is
for that is paid 10 in the forn of dues.
The work of the chamber stands for
itself now, and no excuse is needle for
demanding funds for current expenses.
The secretary gives the credit for
arranging the prelimInaries of the
Teachers convention to the chamber
of commerce, where it belongs, with
due regard for the part played by the
citizens committee. In his discussion
Of the international dam ma tier he goes
somewhat against the views of a good
many Ell Pssoans, but his view Is
worthy of careful attention. Perhaps
the n oss important initial move
ment for which the chamber is
responsible is the mining exhibit.
