RESORT HOTEL
1T TULAROsA
Planned For Ell PasO, but
Inability to Get Land
Causes Change.

Tularosa and not FL Paso will get
the 100000 winter resort which the
Rock Island railroad has decided to
establish in the southwest in the in
terest of its winter passenger bust
ness.
W. H. FOrtner. representing the
capitalists of Chicago who will finance
the proposition, has been here for the
past week negotiating for 10000 acres
Of land u miles northeast of Ell Paso
upon which the winter resort was to
have been laid out.
1T is Off" he said. 1--WE have the
cash to pay for the land and would
have closed for it, given the architects
orders to complete the hotel plans and
have made all arrangements for work
to begin at once. but this suit has
blocked US and we are looking to Tu-
larosa for a possible site.
A part of the land surveyed for the
resort was that involved in a suit be-
tween DR.. Felix P. Miller and J. H.
Nations. Mr.. Nations controlled three
othr sections. He refused to sci his
his claim in the land for which DR..
Miller is suing and as this land made
up the greater part of the tract, it was
decided by Mr.. Fortner to call off the
project as far as Ell Paso is concerned
and go to Tularosa, N. NJ, where an
entire townsite on the Southwestern
has been offered him..
The hotel was 20 have been four
stores. IN height, containing 250 rooms,
and with large patio in the center. A
10 mile auto speedway was to have been
built near it and mountain drives laid
out along the foot of Mount Franklin.
The plan Of organization was to form
an exclusive club of eastern business
men and capitalists, each to pay a mem
bership fee of $500. An FL Paso
financing concern was to have taken the
first 100000 IN shares and the others
were to have been placed in Chicago and
the east to the amount of s1,000,000.
The Rock Island was acting as sponsor
Tor the project, as it is anxious to de-
velop winter resort, business on its own
line in the southwest. The big resort
was for the purpose G. stopping the
heavy tourist travel of wealthy eastern
ers who go to California each winter"
The Ell Paso mesa land was selected
because of its water and the splendid
view. Well drilling outfits were ready
to begin work drilling for water when
the order was Cancelled.
I'VE are through with the FL Paso
project, Mr.. Fortner said: IF the
owners Of the land can get together on
the deal and are ready to accept our
offer, we will reconsider. Just now our
plans are to go to TularOSa and / ex-
Dect to leave Monday for the east to
submit the changed plans to the men
who are financing the project"

PRINCESS USES JEWELS TO
LURE BRIDE FOR SON

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Society at Os-
tend has been wondering why the
Princess of Thur and Taxis, who re-
Gently was robbed of S1,400,000 worth
of jewels, brought so much jewelry to
the famous seaside resort The most
accepted explanation is that she did
so TO dazzle certain persons of high
degree in furtherance of matrimonial
designs for the benefit of her eldest
son.
The princess is by birth Margaret of
Austria, daughter of the late Arch.
duke Joseph. Beside herself there are
many other royal personages stopping
at Ostend. 1t cannot be said that the
young prince will ever be in need of
a great dowry, but his mother is ex-
tremely anxious about his future, and
it is believed that she wants to get the
good offices of the queen of the Bel
gians as a match making intermediary
with the dowager Duchess of Luxem.

The jewels of the princess Of Thur
and TaXiS are world renowned, and as
she has four sons and no daughters
her jewelry will eventually go to her

FIGHT TO BE
INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Solution
of the world wide problem of combat
ting the hookworm disease may be
one of the results obtained by the
fifteenth international congress on hy-
giene and demagraphy, which meets
in Washington September 1926, 1872,
under the auspices of the United
States government.
Scientists have run the hookworm
to it's lair since the fourteenth con-
gress, held in Berlin in 1907, and the
forthcoming meeting will offer the
first opportunity for hygienic experts
from all countries of the globe TO get
together, compare notes and adopt a
systematic and uniform campaign
against what is regarded as the great
est scourge which affects more than
half the population of the world
The latest statistics which have
been prepared by the Rockefeller sanl-
tary commission contain figures start
ling in their magnitude and illustrate
the imperative need for union OF all
public health, forces in fighting the
hookworm.
In the congress DR.. c. w. Stiles of
the Public Health and Marine Hospital
service and scientific secretary of the
Rockefeller commission, is expected to
act as referee in one of the principal
sections devoted to the hookworm dis
cussion, and he, with other members
of the commission, is engaged in the
preparation of the hookworm exhibit,
forming a feature of the exhibition on
health which will be an adjunct of the
congress.
The commission win also assist the
various states of the United States in
which the commission has worked in
the preparation of a cooperative ex-
hibit, which will show the extent of
the disease and the results which
have been accomplished by preventive
measures. The exhibit also will por-
tray conditions such as exist in Porto
Rico, for example, where estimates
have been made that 80 out of every
100 of the working people are infect
ed; Colombia, where 80 per cent of
the population living between the sea
level and 5000 feet above, are victims
of the disease, and in India, where
from so to so per cent of the SOC, ,000,-
600 inhabitants are infected.
The economic effect of the disease
will also be illustrated by charts
showing that in many instances 80
per cent of the efficiency of labor is
lost because hookworm anemics can
not do the work of physically sound
laborerS-and that this loss to the
world in each year runs into countless
millions of dollars.
