and promise still further reductions in
the future, the jobbing trade of the city
may be expected to grow in volume for
the future even more rapidly than 1t
has in the past.
Besides the general revival of busl-
ness after the slump OF 1908, and the
wonderful increase of population and
business interests in the southwest the
establishing of new manufacturing en-
terprises at lei Paso has added greatly
to the volume Of wholesale business
done out of the city during the year
just closed, and the assurance Of other
manufacturing enterprises for the year
1910 will still further increase the i'm
portance of the Eel Paso jobblng trade.
The Retail Situation.
For many years lei Paso has been
recognized as the best shopping" city
in the southwest, and thousands have
been attracted TO the city because OF
its splendid stores. large stocks and
favorable prices. The year just closed
had added to that reputation. During
the year a large number of new retail
houses opened for business, and all
those already established increased
their stock of goods, and in many cases
were forced to enlarge their business
quarters.
This strong demand upon the part OF
retail establishments for more room
was a strong factor working for the
construction of the many skyscrapng
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-01-12

The city has grown even more rapid
ly than the business interests OF the
place as represented by mere numbers.
The school attendance has made a great
advance over former years, and In
city Of rapid growth there is but one
sure way OF determining the settled
growth, and that Is the actual school
attendance during the year. School CEN
sus takers may find too many, or too
few; government census takers VIII al
ways slight the work, and not find all
the people; and the directory census
will always show more men In proper
tion to the women and children In all
these new communities of the west,
but the attendance on the public and
private schools OF the city shows ex-
actly the growth as a home place and.
after all, the homes make the city. A
glance at the growth Of the IIl Paso
schools, as shown by official figures
In another place, Will show that steady
growth of population which means a
settled people, living at home and en-
gagged In the important work OF edu-
eating the future men and women or
the city.
The positive growth OF the city, as
shown by every business interest and
the school population, means that each
year Will see at least the same growth;
while all over the southwest is spread
ing the trade Influence Of the city or
El Paso, which means a greater vol
ume Of trade to be cared for, and moro
business houses and more invested cap
ital to care for It, AS long as the
school attendance and the banking
strength of El Paso continue to In
crease In the same ratio as was marked
In 1903, there Is no stopping the grow

Mexican Railroads Bring Wealth To e. Paso

Paso. No matter who builds and oDcr-
ates 1t, the proposed road Is wholly
within Eel Paso trade influence and
cannot but be of great advantage to the
manufacturers and jobbers OF the city.
Other ORnds
There are other roads building In the
lei Paso trade territory OF Mexico, the
most important OF which is the orient
or StllWell road, from the harbor OF
Topolobampo. on the gulf of California
This road will reach Tel Paso and give
the city direct route to that part OF
the west coast Of Mexico
The Mexico Northwestern will strike
the west coast much further south than
the orient, and give Eel Paso another
direct connection, and through part
of the republic also rich In minerals,
timber and stock. Any map will show
the reader that all the rich west coast
country Is almost directly south OF Eel
Paso, and that any new railroad build
ing must bring that section closer to
the city.

old Mount Franklin Is familiar to
thousands of people, by sight, but few
have ever undertaken an Investigation
OF the extent Of the range. The Frank
lin mountains extend northward into
New Mexico, distance Of nearly 20
miles, but the erage width Of the
range Is only three miles
This narrow range divides what are
known as the Mesilla and Hueco basins
the last named being the official desig
nation of the flat mesa above Fort
Bliss. The highest peak is North Mt
Franklin, which rises to 7140 feet above
sea level, and about $500 feet above
the river valley.
The slopes Of the range, like It's can
yons, are bare and rugged, with little
water, presenting great difficulties to
those desiring to explore its mysteries
According to the traditions Of some OF
the indian tribes roaming this country
before the white man came there is
civilization buried deep under the slt
Of this valley, and the frowning old
mountain overlooking the city has seen
many nations come and go. The Frank
lin range Is also connected with the
retreat OF the Spaniards from New
Mexico during the uprising Of the in
dams, which overthrow the Spanish
rule and for years prevented the reset
Element OF the country. According TO
that legend the indians had attacked
the cities OF the north occupied by the
Spaniards (perhaps the Gran QuiVira
group in New MeXloo) and they with
hosts OF friendly indians, retreated TO
the south taking with them long trains
OF pack auin!9ls loaded with gold and
silver treasure Far to the south OF
where the Spaniards had left their for
nIer homes in ashes they Were In dan

perior forco OF indians and hastily flee
ing into the mountains, they deposited
their treasure In some caves or abnn-
dOned mine workings, and, after care
fully con 'ra!.nt: al traces of the work,
they resumed their retreat TO Yslcta.
These stories have been investigated
by a numebr OF students, and seem 10
have some foundation In fact, but there
is great difference OF opinion as to
the location Of this possible treasure

business blocks either built or project
cd during the year 1909, and the popu-
larity OF the city as a shopping" place
is best shown by the fact that the places
vacated by the older houses as too
small for their business were imme-
diatey filled by newly established con
Germs.
Trade Brings People.
The retail trade OF city is an inn
portant factor in its growth, as it at
tracts a tremendous volume Of business
from the outside which might go TO
the big cities Of the east through the
mails, If not for the splendid stocks
and well selected lines carried by the
retailers of lei Paso. The people com
ing to the city to do their shopping pa
tronze the hotels, ride on the street
cars, visit the theaters, and do many
other things to leave money with the
business people OF Eel Paso, and many
Of them cap IL all by purchasing prop
erty in a city which they can see is
growing and offers them a safe and
surely profitable investment.
Prospects for 1919.
Tt would seem to the careless OBJ
server that the tremendous expansion
Of the wholesale and retail trade OF
Tel Paso during the year 1909 would
leave no room for n growth during 1910,
but everything points to n stll greater
growth during this new year In both
Wholesale and retail interests.

1909 Brought Tremendous Trade Expansion

TVHE year 1909 was one of great
progress in developing the whole
sale and retail trade ccntering in
FL Paso, many new enterprises having
been established and the older houses
growing and spreading out to meet the
rapidly increasing demands.
Jobbers Increase Trade
During the year the jobbing interests
Of El Paso not only entered new fields,
but worked those already theirs to bet
ter advantage, using more men and
MAXI more frequent calls They
also took more interest in the trade
than ever before and were literally re-
warded with larger and more numer-
Gus orders
The year was one Of general revival
of business in all lines and no interests
felt this upward tendency quicker than
the jobbing trade. outside merchants
ordered more literally and were able
to meet their obligations with prompt
ness, all of which worked to encourage
the jobbers to greater eXerions.
Lower Rates Secured.
The general movement for the reduc-
tion Of freight rates out Of the city
had a good effect enabling the jobbers
OF this city to ship into more distant
sections against all competition. The
further reductions in the local jobblng
rates into the southwest, already an
nounced. and to go into immediate eff
feet will make 1910 still better year
than it's predecessor. The rates into El
Paso have always been much more sat
isfactory than the jobbing rates out Of
the city and now that the railroads
are doing the right thing by the city,

FARMERS WANTED
As INSTRUCTORS

posed by Governor of
Territory.
H0MESTEADS OFFERED FREE
Intelligent Men Needed Who Are
Capable of Teaching Their

HOMESTEADS OFFERED FREE

Governor Frear wants a number of
scientific ana practical farmers to ac-
cept, free, good homesteads on the va
rious Islands of the Territory, and farm
them for the good of themselves and
their neighbors for 4 reasonable salary.
This is a part of Governor Frear s
plan for populating the Islands with an
American citizenship. More specif-
cally, his idea is to employ practical
and scientific farmers to teach their
neighbors how to obtain the best re-
suits from the land.
In brief, the government proposes to
pay number of frst-class farmers a
salary, not only to ruiz their own farms,
they, of course, getting whatever profits
they can make off their homesteads, but
also to instruct the other farmers of
their sections how to farm to the best
profit. BY allowing them to farm their
own homesteads, it is figured that they
will accept a smaller salary than they
otherwise would.
1t is to be understood that just the
