age is So am very lovable and
find home very lonely without a
companion. | prefer a man with
clean habits, no liquor or tobacco
to mar our fireside, and one who
is man. | don't care how home
ly he is if he has the strength of
character to be upright and honest
in his dealings with his fellow
man and at the age Of so or 60
has the comforts of life, is able to
live from his income or business;
one who wants the love of good
woman to cheer and comfort him
at his fireside and to pour the oil
of peace over the troubled waves
that gather around him in the
hours of loneliness.
| fully understand the word

months at a time and | had moth

my time at the Doctors. One doc

that allied me was the want OF
something to do, said he refused to
give me any attention, unless

bee was buzzing, | packed my
trunk for Spokane, leaving a note
behind telling why | was leaving,
and that | would not come back
under any circumstances within
three years.

joke among my husband and
friends, but am still here and new

A COMMENTED WORKER.

Dear Editor: Your letters on
love and matrimony are becoming
more and more interesting. Your
valuable daily gives all classes of
people a medium through which
they may get acquainted and bet
ter their conditions 1t is true there
are men and women who have lit
tie chance in some walks of life to
meet their equals. Some may
write from curiosity and others
are sincere, but, judginNfrom the
way they write, THE TN,ins" will
just about suit us, as tWo of us
are in the same boat. Evil leave
it to The Press to do 1.-THE rest.
Thanking you for the publication
of this letter, address Hx f., Press
Office.
Editor Press: After reading
what most all the ladies say re-
garding matrimony, l have come
to the conclusion that it is not
really necessary for a bachelor to
always be one, that is, If he can
strike the right one. Asa
Now, if one of these girls, not

Cubans never peel pineapple.
They cut off the ends, split the
fruit lengthwise, quarter it, ana
split the quarters; then eat it from
the hand. just as one would eat an
apple. Cubans claim Americans do
not know how to fully enjoy this
most delicious fruit, for by peeling
it much of the juice is lost, and
the meat is left dry and woody.

the skirt is draped a soft overskirt
of blue mousseline, deeply en-
troidered in heavy silk. Handsome
lace and embroidery simulate a
waiscoat, while point de spirit is
used for the collar and under
sleeves. Large buttons of blue vel

Trade Opportunities OF City Steadily Widen

declared Mexico to be the treasure
house of nature, and recent develop
ments I'm all lines of commerce have
fully sustained that opinion Trench
dous deposits OF gold, silver copper.
lead and other metals are known. and
have been partially exploited, further
development only awaiting the coming
OF facilities Of transportation The
mineral wealth OF the country cannot
be known, however, as there has been
little If any prospecting In regions OF
vast extent. Timber and livestock add
greatly to the visible wealth Of the en-
tire northern section OF the republic.
For Greater Effort.
FL Paso's trade territory should be
extended far beyond it's present limits,
and can be with united effort for bet
ter local jobbing rates and a more sys-
tematic study OF the proper methods by
the manufacturers and jobbers Of the
city. The population in this trade ter
ritory which should be looked after is
both large and prosperous; the mines
producing literally, the lands being fer
tile and the climate ideal for the rails
ing Of stock, and all these pursuits are
followed. The efforts for Mexican
trade should be along the line Of the
Mexican National as far south as is
found practical; down the Mexican
Northwestern, formerly the Sierra Madre,
ana INTO lnat vast extent or territory
between the tracks OF the Mexican Ma
tional and the Hartman lines down
the Yaqui river lines and to a connec-
ton with the coast system; and, last,
but by no means least down the Har-
riman coast lines through Nogal.
A glance at the map will show the
entire country covered by these lines to
be almost directly south Of Eel Paso,
and naturally I'm its trade territory. TO
make this trade influence further pos
sible, railroad construction has been
all in favor of lei Paso

progressing, the territory OF New Mex
leo promises several other very impor-
tant railroad connections for El Paso.
Several engineering parties are now
completing final surveys for a line to
connect Tel Peso with the northwest ter
ritory, opening up the counties Of Sierra,
western Sonora, western Valencia, Nc
Klnley, Rio Arrlba and San Juan, in
the territory Of New Mexico and put
ting very rich mining, agricultural
and stock country with thousands of
prosperous people, in direct communl-
cation with lei Paso Surveying parties
are also in the field. running lines
through the Mesilla valley, one east
and west across the southern part OF
the territory, and one north and south,
to connect with Eel Paso.
Other interests.
In the New Mexico trade territory OF
Eel Paso, the year 1909 saw many new
towns established; 10 new banks. with
n total capitalization of $275,000;
wonderful increase in the amount OF
property returned for taxation: the
opening Of a number Of new mining
districts. and the establishment OF
many new industries.
Freight Reductions Count
El Paso opened up new trade terri
tory in Arizona during the year just
closed, this extension being made pcs
sible by both freight reductions and
railroad building I'm the Eel Paso trade
territory, Which has created new min
ing camps and towns and opened up
new agricultural districts.

products or lumber in the United States
for the southwestern market and FL
Paso is the only point to be consid-
cred, as they can haul the logs into
this city over their own rails and find
ready market for all the byproducts.
In addition to the structures men
toned above as having been completed
during the year 1909. there were a
large number of handsome residences
constructed, costing from $4,000 down
10 the modest but comfortable cottages
Of the average resident. A very large
number of one and two story business
places were built during the year, and
the business districts extended in every
direction.
There was an unusual demand for
homes costing between $4,000 and $4,000,
and all the new buildings placed on
the market soon found purchasers and
are now occupied
The residences erected during the
year went well into the hundreds, and
yet the increasing population kept rem
tails up and the houses occupied At
the beginning of the year it was sup
posed that the unusual activity in build
ing lines meant a slight reduction in
rents and many vacant houses before
