content to accept for their money

reasonable if the investment were tied
UP in any other form of venture,
manufacturing plant, for instance. or
corporation bonds.
Real estate agents are to degree
responsible for encouraging intending
investors in the belief that they will
net a very large rate of interest on
their investment if they invest in Ell
Paso realty. The result is that the
agents are continually on the jump to
maintain rents at a point that will
satisfy the investors preconceived no
tions. What is needed is a gradual
education of out of town investors into
the knowledge that if they want
form of investment safe as government
bonds, that will bring them in a GER
tain minimum income every month, at
rate of interest larger than they
could make anywhere else outside of a
purely speculative and marvelously
successful promoters scheme, they
should come to Ell Paso.
This city is now large enough, and
it's future is sure enough, to make in
vestments here possible of classical
ton as a strictly stable and standard
form. Every citizen should discourage
the boom idea. A healthy realty
market is a good sign. A scramble is
bad sign. 1t must not be forgotten
that the motive to unload. to sell at
profit, is likely to be stronger when
such a condition develops, than is the
motive to buy. The natural consequence
will be that men who have bought on
an insecure margin, trusting to SELL
ing at an advanceto square themselves,
will be caught and wrecked. and the
prices of all realty will feel the eff
fects of the general depression
We cannot be too careful just at this
time, when Ell Paso is seemingly just
on the edge of period of unprecedent-

Ell PASO DOES NOT
WANT A BOOM.

FL Paso does not want a boom, in
the commonly accepted meaning of the
word A boom generally means an
inevitable collapse. Ell Paso has been
happily free from typical booms. I'M
less it be considered that the town
was so afflicted in the late eighties,
when prices OF realty were almost as
high as they are now. only to be fol-
lowed by a decline a few years later.
The price of Ell Paso realty at present
is in the opinion of most careful watch
ers as low as it will ever be-speaking
of course of standard property. Ger
tain blocks in the business section are
liable to decline somewhat in price, as
the drift of the city has not yet been
fully determined, and in the same way
it may be that some of the now pOpu-
lar residence sections will some day be-
come less choice. But generally speak
ing, there is no other investment pos
sible that is SO certain to bring in re-
turns quick and sure, as investment

think that they must put the rents at
such a high figure as to net them an
exorbitant interest, not taking into
consideration the increment that is
sure to come to the property as the
city grows. The property owner may
advance the argument that this incre-
ment is all his, and has nothing to do
with rents, yet there is deep econom-
ic question involved here, and most
men believe that the man who does
the most to build up the city, the wage
worker, the manufacturer, the pro-
ducer-the man who pays rent while
the owner sits often in some other city,
and contentedly watches the value of
his land increase, with absolutely no
effort of his own-this man ought to
get some benefit, and the property
owner should be willing to take the
natural increment into account in fix
ing rents.
These observations are not made so
much in the desire to establish the
common contention that rents are now

seem to be very willing and anxious to
pay the rents demanded, and the de-

of years. This is the point that We

he makes any more, it is tax-free or is
taxed at a lower rate, as the case may
be. His actual yield is much higher,
say 10 or IL per cent. Now when he
comes to export his product. he gets a
rebate of the full amount of the heavy
tax on all his sugar. or in other words
gets a premium on his production over
the statutory eight or nine per cent.

Ell RASO QUICKLY
ASSUMES THE NORMAL.

Ell Paso quickly assumes the normal
after any extraordinary happening or
condition. 1t is one proof of the fact
village. The city is often deeply STIR
red by some particular event, buI the
effects either are soon smoothed down
to the general level, or only good eff
fects are left resulting in a general ad-
vance.
Our people are sometimes so loath to
admit that any innovation is good
thing that they fail to take the fullest
advantage of the opportunities that are
offered and hence fail to profit by the
efforts that are constantly making to
build up the town and make its adj
vantages better known. If there is
merchant who failed to derive benefit
from the teachers convention and the
carnival it is his own fault,
and the fault can be quickly located
in his failure to advertise in the news
papers. If there is any property own

But while we can look back and see
the tangible results of such gatherings
as those mentioned, and while we
know that certain individuals worked
very hard to make them success, and
that those individuals must feel great
relief upon the successful completion
of their work, still it is notable fact
that the gatherings were but an incl
dent in the life of the town, and as
subject for conversation are with the
mass of the people soon forgotten.
The very smoothness with which
such undertakings are now conducted.
and the comparatively slight interrupt
ton they cause in the normal life of
the city, are both good evidences that
we, as a city, are more powerful and
more able to accomplish great things
than most of our citizens realize. Even
a great exposition would not be beyond
our capacity, and would not materially
interfere with the normal run of bust
ness and normal activities of citizens
during the period of organization. Any
of weakness or timidity with
to the proposed great exposi-
ton should be considered unworthy of
the city and of individuals.

New Orleans, December 2s.-A statement
was given out at the board OF trade TODAY
which shows an enormous increase in the
rice trade with Porto Rico. The statement
says that active commerce with Porto nico

increased until with the clearance of the
lost month, the exports show an Increase
OF nearly 100 per cent Ger any previous
month since October. 1900, when the first

Rice Is the principal article exported and

trade rebounds TO the Louisiana and Texas

In Its infancy. During the past twelve
months the total amount Of goods exported
was S1,1s3,oo4 or this amount 81, 4as Os5
