A Coming Back.

Inc Strength OF inc protective poi
icy, and Of the Republican party as
its organized exponent, has been its
consistant application by that party in
Legislation. The party policy long
was to protect every product of in
dusty in need OF protection without
reference 10 particular industries, in
dividuals or S, ,ctioual lines. This was
the strength Of the principle, and
while it adhered to it the party wss
practically invincible, The present
plight Of such we'll meaning men as
Gov. Foss OF Massachusetts, and Sen,
ator Gronna Of North Dakota, is evil
dence Of the unwisdom Of attempting
to turn a great national policy into
what Gen. Hancock, when a Demo
cratic candidate for president, called
"a local issue" The Democratic party
has tried to deal with the question
from local point Of view and failed
accordingly. Some years ago, how
ever, there arose a school Of Repub-
licans in Congress who had either de-
luded themselves, or were being
moved by deluded constituencies, into
attempting experiments along that
line. A result Of the effort has been
the restoration Of Democratic party
government Though Republican divi-
sion, and an impending tariff law so
threatening that all Republicans are
now returning to first principles.
The story Of Gov, Foss is well
known. He went over TO the Dem
ocracy, bag and baggage, but now in
lace Of what he calls an impending
industrial calamity, is again arrayed
against that party, Senator Gronna
was one Of the insurgents" who voted
with the Senate Democrats in making
tariff bills which Mr.. TAFT had to veto.
The record oil the North Dakota SEN
ator shows that he wanted TO put on
the free list, or in reduced schedules,
nearly everything not produced in his
his own state. In assuming that there
Was q public sentiment in North De
kota at that time forcing him into that
un-RepubIican attitude, it must also
be assumed that that sentiment has
now changed. For in the Senate the
other day Mr.. Gronna, in vehemently
opposing Democratic tariff legislation,
declared that the agricultural schedule
in the pending bill meant loss TO the
people OF his state OF at least SIS, 900,
900 annually. 1t is plain that Senator
Gronna, and the mistaken Republicans
OF North Dakota have come back"
The solidarity Of the Senate Repub-
licans the other day against free sugar,
showed the party, as whole, to be still
realizing the vital necessity for con-
sistency and unity in working against
the over-present danger Of paltering
with such a question. The only
Democrats in the Senate opposing the
the sugar schedule were the two
louisiana senators, and these, with
true Democratic inconsistency in tariff
Legislation, had been voting for al
other proposed reductions in the bill

lection Of the Louisiana product, but

During the past year miners have
seen the hurro and the mule trucks
abolished and auto trucks installed in
their places In the MogOlIOn in New
Mexico, in several Of the Arizona min
ing camps and even in old Mexico, the
burros that used to haul ore down
over winding trails have disappeared
In their places, large trucks Of five or
10 tons capacity are now being used.
The first cost is much greater. but the
saving OF time in transportation has
warranted this great outlay Of money.
New roads have been constructed for
these large autos to run over, and the
new method OF hauling has become
popular
At several OF the mines in the south
west there has been q great saving in
small reduction plants at the camps
instead OF hauling the ores to smelters.
In some instances only a small reduc-
ton takes place and the ore is then
reshipped to the smeIters in the larger
towns and there retreated at a greatly
reduced cost

centrates, LAYING the worthless ore to

Very few products Will not grow here

Ell PasO's Good Fortune.
AS it is upon the tiller of the soil
that the city depends for its sustenance,
and as Ell PasO is surrounded by
farming country that compares in
richness and diversity of crops with
any in the United States, this city is
considered remarkably fortunate.
Green vegetables the year round are
the rule and not the exception and the
fastener has his eyes opened when he
sees the farm wagons drive into Ell
Paso with every variety of vegetable
that he ever saw and several that he
never knew were grown.
Better farmers are coming into the
Rio Grande valley both above and be-
low FL PaSO and scientific farming has
taken the place of time worn methods in
the Rio Grande valley. The develop
ment Of the land like the development
of the farmer, has come as the result
of irrigation.
Every Foot of Soil Utilized.
The farming is intensive. Every
foot of available space is being used
No weeds mar the gardens on the al
falfa patches. Fat stock takes the
place of the thin cattle and blOOded
hogs fill the pens and all that is in
the land is being brought out of il.
During the past year a greater in
terest has been taken in growing
things on the farms than heretofore.
w ells have been sunk on many prop
critics so that a water supply is as
sured even when the Rio Grande runs
dry and irrigation bitches are empty.
Much attention has been paid to tha
raising Of alfalfa and grains but in
stead of shipping these products to
market as formerly, many farmers now
feed them to hogs and ship the hogs to
market and realize a greater profit
than under the old conditions.

n EVERAL millions of dollars were
invested in mines and shelters in

Copper reached its high mark during
the II months and this made mines
OF this kind most prosperous. At the
FL Paso smelter 100000 was expended
during the year on new rOasters and
converters for the copper plant, which
is itself little over a year old, and the
installation of two 500 horsepower
boilers and a large blowing engine,
which delivers 5000 cubic feet of COM

Because most of the lead ore re-

The greatest amount was expended on

the excavations in Egypt We're mostly
made up of soft material and the
sands of the desert The greater part
| of our material has be5a rock, which
we had to Dlast CHU with dynamite
and carry miles away to the dumps.
In simple language, If what we
have taken out could be piled with
vertical sides in a square inside the
block, it would make a shaft reaching
to q height of over six miles, and if
il were loaded on railroad trains, at
400 cubuc yards to the train, the cars
holding the stuff would fill the con-
unuOus track reaching twice around
the world at the equator. If you could
put the material into railroad en-
bankment, 40 feet wide at the bottom,
Is feet high and wide enough at the
top for a double track line, that en-
bankment could be stretched from
Washington to many miles beyond
Chicago, and still it would not hold
all the earth"
How much more digging have you
had to do than was calculated at the
beginning?'
Il have shown you that we have
already taken out over 10000, 600 cubic
yards more at Culebra than was es-
timated when we began work there.
In the whole canal the excavation will
be more than double the original es-
innate The international board of
consulting engineers figured the total D..
excavation for the completed lock at
96,OO0,OOO cubic yards. and it is now
known that the excavation will be in
the neighbOrhood of 220,O0O,OO0 cubic
yards. Some of this increase has come
from the widening of the canal. and
a great deal is due to the additional
work caused by slides and breaks"
