citaI of the manner in which they
passed through the crisis of 1907-s.
During the first so days Of this trying
period the deposits of Ell Paso banks
were reduced by 100000, or over
25 percent. Nevertheless, the re-

Pine now remain
The Bank of FL raso, a state insti-
tuition. was organized early in 1881, and
was changed into the First National
bank in May. 1881 The State National
bank was organized in April Of the
same year, and was the first Ell Paso
bank to be granted a federal charter
The next in order was the Ell Paso Ma
tional, which was launched in Deem
Der 1886. and was discontinued in
1898. From 1898 to 1900, the State Ma
tionaI and First National had a mo-
nopoly of the local banking field and
both enjoyed a steady growth. In 1900
the Lowden National bank was organ
lied, and the National Exchange bank,
which was organized in 1904. was con-
solidated with the Lowden National to
form the American National bank Be
ginning with the prosperous days of
1905, new banks were organized at in
tervals Of about a year until the list
included the Guaranty Trust and Bank
ing company. the City National bank.
the Rio Grande Valley Bank and Trust
company, the National Bank of Com
merce and the FL Paso Bank and Trust
company. In 1910 the National Bank
of Commerce, after a short and sue
cessfuI career, was merged with the
First National bank. In January, 1911.

Growth of FL PasO Banks.
In 1890. the combined capital of FL
Paso's banks amounted to s425,OOO. In
1905. it had been increased to $3.50, 900.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-08-24

A LITTLE over 10 years ago, IN
N 1900. the deposits Of the COM
4 n bined banks of FL Paso amount
cd TO $4,000. 600. and in 1905 they had
reached the S7OO0.O0O point In the
five years from 1905 to 1910. the total
hank deposits showed a growth Of 100
percent. reaching the s10.0oO,OO0 mark
inst at the close of 1910; or an increase
Of 400 percent for the decade. If the
same ratio Of growth IS maintained
during the present decade. FL Paso's
hanks will show total deposits Of S25,-
OOO. 600 in 1915 and of $50, 600, 600 in 1920.
Judging by the record OF the first
year and a half of the new decade, it
does not seem unreasonable to expect
that these figures will be realized. as
our total deposits have increased near
" $4,000. 900 in less than two years. and
OF 1912 the deposits of FL Paso banks
far exceed the s15.O00.OOO mark, where
they now stand.
OF FL Paso's present total bank de-
posits about three-fourths are made
up of individual deposits and the re-
mainder consists of the deposits o.
state and national banks and trust
companies. Were FL Paso to be made
reserve city, the funds carried in FL
Paso banks by the bankers of the suE-
rounding country would undoubtedly
show a gratifying increase.

BLIGHT IN

1T CONTINUES TO SPREAD
Many Fine Trees Have Been
Ruined
(Albany Herald.)

Dispatches from various points in
South Georgia contain information
that the continued spread of blight
among pear trees has probably sound
ed the death knell of branch of hor-
ticulture which has been an import
ant source of revenue to many coun-
ties in this section.
Years ago South Georgia went
pear crazy" Thousands of acres
of lie Conte and Keiffer pears were
planted, and the orchards were ex-
pected to make their owners rich N
9 few years. But when blight at
tackled the trees, the owners knew not
how to check the disease, nor do they
know yet, for that matter Once as
sailed, an orchard is doomed, though
pruning and spraying may defer the
evil day for a good many years
There is now good demand for South
Georgia pears in the northern and
eastern markets. Many carloads arc
shipped to Chicago and other large
centers of population, the fruit being
retailed to the poorer classes who use
it for making pies, preserves, etc. Sci
dom are the pears permitted to re-
main on the trees until fully grown.
Often they are but little more than
half matured when gathered, loaded
into ordinary box cars without being
barreled or Grated and sent on Their
way to the waiting markets.

Twiman has been posing as an in

that if the prisoner could play craps
