.CL0UDCROFT COMING INTO
ITS OWN; FUTURE OF THE
RESORT IS now ASSURED

With the assistance of the citizens Of
Ell Paso and the great southwest. who
are the direct beneficiaries. the South
western system is planning to make
the Cloudcroft reservation the greatest
mountain resort west OF the Adiron-
dacks. General manager H. J. Simmons
has returned from Chicago, and expects
to devote as much of his time as pos
sible during the next month to the de-
velopment OF Cloudcroft as an ideal
summer resort
Upon his arrival, Mr.. Simmons stated
that the plans for the new 100000 no.
tel had been drawn and were out for
bids among q number of outside and
local contractors. Work will begin on
this, he says, as soon as building opera
lions are possible in the mountains
although it will not be ready to OCCUPY
this season.
Interest in the baby sanatorium is
as general as it is keen. Persons who
have never before shown an interest
in Cloudcroft or anything pertaining TO
the mountain resort, have volunteered
to take blocks of stock in the company
which has been proposed to finance
the project Postmaster Bailey of
North Cloudcroft, and one of the re-
sorts most loyal and enthusiastic boost
ers, has written to DR.. H E. Stevenson,
stating that he wished to subscribe for
500 worth Of stock in the company
General manager Simmons is also much
interested in the proposed sanatorium.
Sister Catherine, mother superior in
charge at Hotel Dieu, is another friend
Of the babies who is anxious to see the
place among the pines established for
the little ones. II have always been
interested in that phase of the situa-
tion," Sister Catherine said THAT is
the finest place in the world for sick
babies, and the hospital and the order
will be only too glad to cooperate with
the FL Paso people in providing a place
for the little children who are suffer-
ing from the awful summer diseases"
Through sister Catherine the Sisters of
Charity have agreed to furnish nurses
for the sanatorium free Of charge dur
ing the summer months when it is
open

The name of Gloyd Bros. is not as
well known in FL Paso as it is in Kan

buildings and warehouses with IA acres
of floor space. A. NJ. Gloyd is one of
the brothers who have made these
buildings possible.

The two brothers, who made tho'-
fortunes in the lumber business of
Louisiana, have planned to erect a big
building each year for four years The
Gloyd building on Walnut street was
the first of the line of buildings they
have planned and completed, and the
two units of the Montgomery Ward
buildings are the two additional ones,
and they are already planning fourth
one.
When their fourth building is COM
pleted and the incomes are returning
to them in the form of rents, they may
start a similar building campaign in
Ell Paso. They admit this.

ing the Mills building to make way for
the new II story "Anson Mills" build
ing, the ground which was selected by
Cen Mills back in the early sixties as
the business center of the city, will be

selected the plaza corner now occupied
by his business block, as the center OF
the business activity Of the future
AS proof of Gen. MiIls's sagaclty, the
building is to be replaced with the tallest
building in the southwest, on the one
spot In all the business district which
the old general selected as the axis OF

Arson Mills building is TO be monu-
ment TO the man who first laid out the
city of his adoption and will be per-
petuation in concrete and marble OF his
prophecy for the future, made when Ell

CEMENT HERE is
BEST QUALITY

Concrete construction in FL Paso is
cheaper than any city in Texas and
architects and builders predict that
every building Of any size erected here
in the future will be of the reinforced
concrete construction
Stone in unlimited quantities is to be
had for the hauling in and near the
city and it is now selling at from IS
to 81 cents a cubic yard laid down at
grade for building purposes can be
bought for 65 cents a load. Cement is
selling al S2.10 cents unloaded on the
job
This is the Made in FL Paso' article,
produced at the big Southwestern POI
land Cement plant and building con-
tractors say that it Is admirable for
building purposes
Steel for the reinforcing is the only
thing on which the east Texas cities
''have it over FL Paso in the con-
struction of concrete buildings. This
steel is necessarily higher here than at
the gulf points because of the freight
rate being higher, but the quality and
cheapness Of native labor more than
counteracts this.
Mexicans are proving to be excellent
helpers in concrete work, as the
simple method OF construction is easy
for them to understand. Not only are
the building materials cheaper In FL
Paso, with the single exception OF steel
reinforcing. but of much better quail
ity. The made in FL Paso cement is
superior to the foreign and eastern ce-
nent and IT is predicted that 1T VIII
