Gen. Luis Terrazas, his father-in-law,
and adds it to his own wealth.
Governor Creel Is an American in
his parentage but q native of Mexico.
He was born In this city August 81,
1854. He is one of the ablest finan-
ciers in Mexico.
He took leading part In establish
Ing the new monetary system for the
Mexican government. He il interest
ed with Gen. Terrazas in many big
enterprises and has practically had
the control of his father-in-law's vast
holdings for many years. This has
brought him into close contact with
men of finance Of all lands, particular
ly Mexico and the United States.
Governor Creers wealth is now es-
tfmated to be not less than $25,O00,-
600. The fortune of Gen. Terrazas is
upward of 100000. 900. 1t has been
said that he practically owns the state
and city of chihuahua.
His mines, ranches, farms, banks,
manufacturing plants, houses and
business blocks bring him in a great
annual revenue. He was governor of
Chihuahua for many years, but on
account of his advanced age he relin-
pushed active duties of the ONCE
about three years ago, and his SON
in-law, Mr.. Creel, was appointed act
ing governor by President Diaz.
Although Mr.. Creel was born IN
Mexico, his Americanism is plainly
shown in his personality. His father
was Reuben w. Creel, who came to
Chihuahua from the United States in
the late 40's and opened little store
here.
Reuben Creel was graduate of one
Of the Eastern colleges of the United
States. He and his wife lived here
until they died. They reared a family
OF seven children, of which Enrique
was the oldest.
The little business which the elder
Creel started did not prosper and the
family had a hard struggle to live.
Enrique forged ahead and got a place
as teacher in private school in Chi
huahua- His earnings all went to sup
port his parents and his brothers and
sisters.
His brightness attracted the atten-

place and they put him In the way of

cleaned from every nook and corner,
palms, vines and potted plants. Large
Japanese umbrellas made most allur-

porch chairs and settee's in place Of
the ordinary furniture. Hammocks
were swung up across corners and the
walls were adorned with tennis nets,

Each man was given fishing rod
and threw his line over a most real

a basket, the handle adorned with a
bow of ribbon, and he" had to find
the woman who wore a bow of the

The hostess provided napkins. drink
ables of all sorts, both hot and cold;
and delicious ice cream which was
packed In individual paper cartons.
After the supper, which consumed
good share of the evening, each
guest took a turn at the FISH pond"
and caught real fish which proved
to be candy box filled. These fish
come in all sizes and are just the
thing for souvenirs at an affair OF
this kind.

EARLY cAssAeE.
Adapted to Virginia, the caroIinas,

IL you have 1t, select a piece Of
medfumly low, well drained land. Do
not put on any fertilizer in the fall
or early winter. Pillow this land as
thoroughly and as deep as you can,
80 long as you do not turn up the

use plank for firming them. Remem-
Der that no fertilizer is to be applied

on the south side of the bed, far
