Zone Touch Of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens in the
farm yard to come and share it. A
similar trait of human nature is to
be observed when a man discovers
something exceptionally good-he
wants all his friends and neighbors to
share the benefits of his discovery
This is the touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin. This eX-
plains why people who have been
cured by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy write letters to the manu-
facturers for publication, that others
similarly ailing may also use it and
obtain relief. Behind every one of
these letters is a warm hearted wish
of the writer to be of use to someone
else. This remedy is for sale by all
druggists.

What One Years Growth Means in a
Live CITY.

Just a year ago the chamber of
commerce published a booklet for
advertising purposes and for giving
information to inquiries about the
city and the southwest. At the time
the booklet was published, the official
figures and estimates were all up to
date. A few of the books remain on
hand and are still being sent out,
But so great has Leen the growth of
that the book has to be quite thor
oughly revised before being used at
this time. A brief comparison be-
tween the figures given in the hook
are for March, 1907, and the figures
of the present, gives fair idea of
the growth we have enjoyed since
that time.
The 1907 book states the assessed
valuation of the city of Ell Paso as
s15. 200; it is s25, 100000 this year.
The book states the population of
FL Paso as 10000; it is no less than
45. 900 now.
The tax rate then was 2.S6 per
cent; this year it is ? 81.
B INK resources are given in this
book as SS,00O, 900; but each total
should be Increased by over 81 100000
to bring he figures up to date.
The latest building records given
in the book are of the calendar year
1906, Sl,OOO,000; last year Ell Paso
erected and equipped about 81, $780,
600 worth of new buildings, and the
amount of official permits was over
s., 100000.
The number of school teachers is
given in the book as ITO; now it is
40. The public schools then occu-
pied nine buildings: now they occupy
eleven. School property was then
valued at $4,000 and has now in
creased to 500, 900.
In 1907 there we're sixteen religious
denominations with twenty-five
churches and missions; there are now
twenty denominations with forty-five
churches and missions.

The estimated cost of the Rio
Grande reclamation project as given
in the book was then S7,2OO,OG0; it is
now $780, 900.
The Leasburg diversion dam had
not then been comple,ed: it is now
in use.
The number of telephones in FL

for a bond issue OF S5OA,000, the pro-
ceeds 70 be used as follows: S3OO,6OO
for street paving; 100000 for new
public school buildings and sites;
100000 for street grading; $4,000
for a sewage disposal plant; $4,000
for garbage disposing plant.
Ell Paso's municipal budget this
year will exceed 100000, and the
CITY is rapidly developing in every
direction.
