where there is so much of it used IN

that respect, as we have here one OF
the largest and most complete ice and
cold storage plants in the southwest.

Of ice a day and employs on an average
during the whole year about % men.
They sell ice in carloal shipments and
make specially of re icing cars that

years, on the school board for the same
number of years and city assessor and
collector for period Of eight years.
The water used for making the ice
comes from a $50 foot we'll and goes
through natural process OF distillation
and according to the last analysis 1t
contains but 16 grains Of solids to the

entirely pure.
Just recently the company expended
$4,000 on the plant. doubling it's ca

Manufacturers Show Remarkable Growth
Eel PAsO GRAIN AND

FROM more than one point Of view,
IL Is n significant fact that lei Paso's
first flour mill, though not vet passed
'ne ihitiad stages OF Its operation, has
proved profitable and popular enter
prise. While 1t is in the first place en-
couraglng to home manufactures and
otters the strongest kind OF argument
IN FAVOR or the consumption Of home
products, 1t especially offers great in
oucenents to the farmers of the future
In this part of the southwest.
III mas been found by the test of
sustained manufacture that the right
proportion OF eastern winter hard wheat
plehued with western white wheat pro-
duces the best flour, superior in texture
and quality to flour manufactured in
any other section of the United States.
Such are the merits which can be as
cribed to the Globe" flour. made by
the Globe flour mills OF lei Paso, the
establishment of the Eel Paso Grain and
Milling company.
The sweet white wheat OF the Rio
Grande valley, OF Colorado and the
Pacific slope; the winter hard wheat
OF the east, together with the perfected
art OF milling and blending, are all
combined in Globe" flour, and these
rare elements will make 1t the leading
brand OF the southwest In future 1t
Will be remembered by every citizen
that every time he buys sack of
Globe flour he Is buying genuine
home product, and thereby keeping the
money at home, besides getting a super
Tor article.
This El Paso mill forms branch
OF the business OF the Globe Grain and
Milling company OF California, and this
Is the latest and most modern OF six
mills erected by that company, n con-
Germ which In Ia years has grown from
grist mill to the largest milling in
dustry on the Pacific coast. This mill
Will soon become one OF the strong fac

ATLAS BRICK COMPANY.

The lei Paso manufacturers Of brick
and other clay products have fine ad-
vantages in the large and well adapted
clay deposits around and near the city.
A leading concern among these partic-
ular industries is the Atlas Brick COM
pany, whose plant Is located on Dallas
street, between the c., II. q $. A. X. X.
and the e. Z. & S. w. II. II. tracks The
company is composed of Eel Paso men,

incorporated about three years ago. The
company manufactures high grade
white bricks, and the material used is
lime and sand exclusively. The plant
Is large one; in fact, one Of the largest
plants in the entire southwest with a
daily capacity Of 10000 bricks, employ
Ing 20 men when in. operation. For the
most part the output has been used I'm

The plant under the able management
of f. b. Stuart has had suSC essful

MANTELL,S CAREER.

Followers of the theatre who have
known Robert ManteI for many years
cannot but lift their hats in admiration
for lie remarkable artistic advance
shown by that sterling actor as evi-
dence1 by his interpretations of diff
ficult roles. Some one has complain
ed that the American people are not
always fair to their stage folk-that
some Of the most famous actors have
been eft to struggle along in com
parat,ve poverty for years before the
mantle of public favor was bestowed
upon mem. 1t is said, Oh the other
hand, that Europeans are much more
patient than Americans, and are re-
sponslve to the least evidence of mer-
it, taking the keenest and most friend
ly interest in observing artistic devel-
opmeEt in dramatic aspirants. This
criticism may be just, but there is one
thing to be said for the American the
atre-go.ng public: 1t is not niggardIy
of praise or financial reward when the
actor finally arrives. So it is that
Americans now realize that Robert
Mantcll is truly great and the SPLEEN
did audiences that greet him at every
performance afford testimony of deep
public appreciation. And there is this
to be said about Mantall. Years of toll.
struggle and faint-hearted public sup
port did not embitter or daunt the
man. Character and brain were at
the bottom. and they stood the test
well. When the time came for the be-
stowai of the laurel wreath, the recipi-
ent was not found to be a. harsh and
dictatorial spirit, calloused through
painful contest, but a gentle, kindly,
humane man, whose nature had ripen-
ed TO all that was best as the years ad-
vanced Such is Robert Mantell on
and eff the stage; in other words, an
American gentleman of the highest
type. So it comes that friendly and
affect onate people rejoice with Mr.
ManreH over his success. 1t is so hon
est, so well-deserved, that tongue of
meanast envy finds no voice. Mr..
Mante1l wears the robes or crown OF
no predecessor; his art in his own, and
its merit and fame will be impertsha-
BILE III the annals of the American
stage.
