Ell Paso Plans for Future.
To handle all of this cattle business,
which is expected to develop within
the next five years. FL PasO is making
pens, stock yards and packing plants
where the Mexican steers may be
handled to the best advantage, and
at the least possible cost. There IS a
belt OF ground lying along the river
front in FL PasO which is advantage
Ously located for the erection Of stock
yards to pen the imports from Mexico
A chain of valleys above and below

As an example OF Nthe demand for
the Mexican cattle, the buyers from
the eastern and western houses who
came to FL PasO to purchase cattle
from the Mexican range were willing
to pay the high export duty Of s.
which was levied upon the importers
by the revOlutiOnists in order to raise
funds with which to conduct the reVo-
luton against the MaderO govern
ment. This port is now in control OF
the cOnsti tutiOnal government on the
Mexican side. and the prOhibitive i'm

buyers eagerly bid against each other
for the cattle from Mexico. Included
in these war time shipments were
many cattle from the TerraZas ranches
and later from the ranches of the Ma
5ero family in southern Chihuahua
Ordinary cattle from Mexico bring
good prices and extra steers cause
the keenest bidding among the buyers
from the packing houses A compart-
son Of prices obtained at FL PasO and
at other ports along the border shows
that this port is the best for the i'm
Dorters from Mexico and the one where

cause there are no dipping watts here.
FL Paso is north Of the quarantine
line. Fort Worth is south Of that line
and cattle from the infected districts
are dipped there.
It may require some legislation to
secure the dipping watts in FL PasO and
the admission Of cattle from infected
districts into these vats, but cattIemen
say it can be secured with an earnest

This would increase the cattle bust

Years Mexican Receipts.
During the year 1912 only $4,000 cat
tie were imported from Mexico through
the local port The value Of these
was $9S4,32S, and the duties amounted
to S255, 900
The year fell far short Of previous
years In this line OF impOrtatiOns be
cause the railroads were tied up for
months at a time and shippers feared
to send their cattle through Besides
many of them were compelled to pay
duty to the Mexican government and
tribute to the rebels.
It IS expected, however, that 1913
will surpass all previous years in the
number Of cattle imported, as there
are many on the ranges in Mexico
which viii be brought in as soon as
conditions warrant the safety Of such
In 1911 there were 121, O5S head i'm
ported and their value was 81 III, 157. so,
