FL Paso's Growth Is Largely
Due to the Efforts of the
Former Mayor, Who Is
Now Mourned as Dead.

To Col 3. z. Hammett's friends there
is no need for an eulogy. But in the
broader scope of Col. Hammett's actiyi-
ties In FL Paso IN his work as a civic
builder, as a man who with few other
far seeing minds led this city out OF the
wilderness of mesquite and greasewood
into an era of prosperous growth, Col
Hammett left a heritage to the newer
generations of Ell Pasoans.
AS the head Of q company which pro-
NOTED one Of the first large townstte
additions to FL Paso, as alderman,
mayor, private citizen and business man,
Col. B. r. Hammett's name was always
found among the progressives who were
working against great odds 10 make a
city. HE never pulled back" Is the
estimate of a man who knew him per-
haps better than any other man knew
him. Il have known Hammett since
came here, % years ago." A. P. Coles
said last night. He was always-Ham-
mett-with a charming personality.
Charitable, liberal donator to public
enterprises, steward in the Trinity
church, he was man who was loved
for his fine qualities, for himself"
When He First Came.
Col. Hammett's real estate and devel-
opment activity was not confined to Ell
PaSo- Before he moved here he was as
active in the affairs Of St. Louis in a
larger way than he was In Ell PaSo
later, Mr.. Coles said He came here to
make his home about 1893 or '94, being
president OF the Campbell Real Estate
company. Of St. Louis, w-icn owned the
district known as the Campbell addition.
extending from the river on the south
to the intersection of Olive and San An
tonic streets on the east, northward to
include an irregular line east and south
OF the Mills and Sattenthwaite additions
and the Santa Fe yard reservation.
This property was acquired by the ST.
Louis company In an interesting way.
Robert Campbell, from whom the COM
pany and the addition took its name.
was a wholesale merchant Of st. Louis.
Near the little town of Franklin, Texas,
now Ell Paso, there were two brothers,
John and Henry Gillette, who owned a
goat ranch which was q part of the
town of Franklin. The Gillette broth
ers failed, according to A. P. Coles's
version Of the early history or the town
In part payment Of his Indebtedness to
Robert Campbell, John Gillette. who
was the active member of the family
partnership, turned over the goat
ranch.

". S. Hills was sent out from St
Louis TO manage the rancil ana arrange
for disposing of 1T. This he did in 9
very competent way for a number of
years, until the Campbell addition, as it
was then called, was taken over by a
ST Louis syndicate, composed of Col.
B. f Hammett. J. c. Van Blarcom,
president Of the Bank of Commerce in
st. Louis; David R Francis, exgover-
nor Of Missouri. and afterwards presi-
dent Of the st. Louis exposition; Gen.
Noble. Gen. Boffinger, Thomas Rankin
and Others Gen. Noble was president
Of the syndicate which took the name
of the Campbell Real Estate company,
and had for its purpose the promotion
of the Campbell addition in FL Paso.

Six New Cottages
Impressed with the need for dwelling

Highland Park Activity.
A new $4,000 church, six new dwell
ing houses to cost $4,000 each, resi-
dences and rebuilding operations have
made Highland Park look like a Kan
sas boom town just before the cyclone
struck. But there is nothing OF the

the building operations are as brisk as

virtues of life on the northeast mesa
seemed to have struck a number of Ell
Pasoans at the same time, and the
building business is correspondingly
active in this suburb of Greater Ell Paso.
The Highland Park Baptist congre-
ga anon has already started work on its
new church structure. This VIII be of
red pressed brick with s:one trimmings

nave five rooms, bath ana other con-
veniences
A G. Lowman is also building a resi-
oence in block sc, of the same addition.
TO cost the same as the McKie house.
II. c. Workman and Fred W. Freeman

1t will be no surprise to people tamil
lar with the tendency of Americans To
wander from their native lands and to
make themselves at home in any other
part of the Union. to learn that Mich
igan could lay claim under the census
of 1900 to 1,744,352 sons and daughters
scattered over the country. What the
census Of 1910 will show in this regard
can only be conjectured. There Is
constant inflow and outflow of popula-
ton i'm all the states. and this move
ment is accelerated by the increasing
facilities of travel. The flow from New
England toward the west is hardly
greater than that from the Mississippi
valley toward the Pacific and the re-
turn flow may by no means be despised.
The west is contributing i'm much
greater degree than is popularity rlp-
posed TO the population Of the ~east.
And. as illustrated in the case Of Mich
igau, which is represented in Louisi-
ana alone by LOCI sons and daughters,
the exchange between the north and
south is considerable.
There are so many MichiganGers out
on the Pacific coast that cities like san
Diego. Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Portland and Seattle have Michigan
clubs and annual Michigan reunions.
Michigan is proud and happy that her
sons and daughters are not forgetful
OF her. This year, however, Grand
Rapids is asking Of Michigans sons
and daughters something more than
them to get together in that city for
one week during the coming month,
and promises them a homecoming
worth while.

II is time that proper measures be
taken to prevent the troublesome forest
fires which annually sweep the tim
bered areas of northern Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota. Each year some
loss is sustained by the land owners
and farmers and the fast diminishing
wealth of timber is further depleted
by fire. Something should be done to
perfect a system by which the fires
might be more easily controlled.
Colonel c. II. Graves Of Duluth, Uni
ted States minister TO Sweden, recently
described the chain Of watch towers
which have been the means Of keeping
losses from forest fires down TO a
minimum i'm that country. Some such
system. under state control, might not
be an impossibility in Michigan and
would help TO conserve for the upper
peninsula, one of her greatest resour-
ces.
Michigan maintains an efficient body
OF game and fire wardens but their
number is small. II is hardly to be ex-
pected that the three Wardens IN the
copper country and the few patrols
employed by the railroads can protect
this district from forest fires, although
they have accomplished wonders in di-
recting the work OF less experienced
volunteers. Frequently, however, in a
dry season such as has been experience
ed this year, several fires spring up In
one day and the concerted efforts OF
several hundred people are necessary
to extingulsh them. Sweden finds IL
greater economy to maintain n system
Of watch towers from which fires may
be quickly detected and the alarm Civ
en-. than To suffer even the partial de-
struction of it's forests. Perhaps Mich.
igan may sometime arrive at SINH.
lar conclusion.
