penetrated by the same paved thorough
fare for some distance. One of its pleas
ing features Is that it overlOOks the
whole city and valley for miles and is
at an elevation clear of the smoke and
dust of public activities.
Lies on Gentle Slope.
The addition lies extremely well for
drainage gently sloping west and
south. No engineering difficulties are
presented in its surface for home build
ers. There are no raYines or holes to
fill, and the opening of streets is being
made with economy.
More than $4,000 has been invested
IN improvements to the addition by the
company since the lots We're offered for
sale. Streets have been graded, water,
sewer and gas mains have been laid in a
large part OF the tract and there is an
excellent street car service on the Gov
eminent Hill line, directly to and from
the center of the city.
Abundant Supply of Pure Water.
Water for the addition is taken from
the main supply line from the city res
erv0irs on the Fort Bliss mesa, which
msures an abundant supply. Electric
light and telephones are installed all
over the addition.

Wild Flowers Show There's Soil.
You wouldn't think at first that wild
flowers cut any appreciate figure IN
the Development OF a city addition, but
they do. Where native flowers and
grass are, Investigation viii show that
there is soil waiting the pillow and hoe
Where there is soil around the slopes
away from old Mount Franklin green
things VIII grow at the waters touch
Fortunate, indeed, is the addition where
the soil goes down deep under the rock
and caliche that have washed down for
ages from FL PasO's sentinel peak
How the Flower Campaign Took.
Wild flowers were an inspiration for
selling Government Hill lots. One spring
day at the beginning of the marketing
of the tract. James J. Mari, one of the
principals Of the realty firm of Austin
d Mari who with Latta q Happier,
are agents for it. saw the slopes covered
with all sorts Of blossoms. He spread
the news with printers ink, people trav-
eled to the addition In crowds, picnicked
and gathered armfuls of fragrant flow
ers. and the fame of the new residential
section went abroad ike magic. In Just
a few days blocks of land had been
turned over to home builders. That
proves how quickly the buyers of home
sites take hold of land that has the right
sort OF soil.
In the Track of City's Growth
Government Hill addition Is situated
directly in the track of FL Paso's growth
10 the northeast, and Is an integral part
OF the recent expansion of the east and
west streets that traverse the residence
district north of the through railroad
lines. Tt Immediately adioins the well
built East Ell Paso addition on the east

been put upon the market I'm the neigh

FINDS SAFETY HERE
THEN LOSES HIS S1OO

Harry OFT came all the way from
Chihuahua in safety only to be robbed
after he crossed to the American side
with the other passengers on the Chi
hUahua train which reached here Fri
day morning. On the same train was
a prize fighter who told OFT that his
name was Howard and that he had
been a member of the Herrick training
camp and had gone to Chihuahua to
get lob as a machine gun operator
with Villa. The two Americans went
to the Brown News cOmpany's restaU-
rant on Stanton street for a lunch after
arriving on the train.
As they left the resta drant OFT
pulled a bill book from his pocket to
make memorandum of an address.
When he did this the prize fighter
struck him in the face, OFT says. and
grabbed the billboOk containing 500.
He disappeared after OFT had chased
him for two blocks. OFT reported the
robbery to the police who are looking
for a man of the prizefighter's de-
scription.
