Never a setback and never serious pause.
Today we are tearing down better buildings than
many cities of this size erecting newly, and we
are putting in place of the structures we dehb-
erately wreck new buildings that would do credit
to a city of 100000 people
The general aspect of the city both in the busl-
ness center and in the residence sections is that OF
solidity and permanence. There is nothing tenn
porary, unstable or speculative about the general
real estate situation in this city.
Ell PasO's present prosperity and future prom
ise are based upon immense industries permanent
ly established
First Of all, this city is dependent upon mining,
and upon the manufacture, trade and transpOrta-
ton dependent upon mining, for its wealth, its
prosperity, and its growth.
This is a great trading center. both wholesale
and retail, and with all the trade enjoy APP

AS to agriculture there are $4,000 acres al
ready in cultivation in this valley, and practically
all of the cultivated area is dependent upon Ell
Paso commercially
Ell Paso is an important livestock center,
handling hundreds of thousands of head annually
between Mexico, west Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona and the feeding grounds in the north.
Ell PasO manufactures have already attained
large importance, though this also is line that is
really only beginning it's development. We have
here one Of the largest silver-leadcopper customs
smeters in the world, employing 1900 men and
buying ores at the rate of about 81 100000 month.
We have large foundries, a cement plant the most
perfectly constructed and appointed in the United
States, and mills, refineries, factories ETC., in half
hundred different lines, all operated successfully
and growing steadily. Ell Paso's manufacturing is
based the principle of supplying to the markets
within our immediate trade area the staples of
common use.
Ell Paso has eight railroads, with 1000 men on
the local payrolls.
Ell Paso is the largest city and the most i'm
portant railroad, manufacturing and trading cen
ter in area of 100000 square miles, or, in other
words, in a circle of 1900 miles diameter, with Ell
Paso at the center
ALI these facts 90 to show that investments in
El Paso's real estate or Ell Paso's industries are
stable and likely to be remunerative to an increas
ing degree as the city and country grow through
the development of natural resources which we
enjoy in wonderful abundance

The department of agriculture has
recently been informed that certain OF
its publications dealing with eucalyp-

companies interested in selling lands
For instance, Circular 81 of the Forest
Service has been misrepresented as
saying that California will in a few
years be the only source of hardwood
supply in the United States. Such q
statement has never been made In any
of the forest service publications and
is not considered fact.
The department experts believe that
there is promise Of considerable sue
cess in the cultivation of eucalyptus
trees in many parts Of California, but
estimates of profit and of growth have
been attributed to the department
which are unauthorized. There are
many uncertainties connected with
