Concrete Building Operations.
Reinforced concrete is the favOrite
construction for large buildings in FL
PasO. In business structures it is now
used almost exclusively. The PasO del
NOrte hotel was built of this material
1t is 10 stories high The Mills
building of II stories, the largest re-
infOrced concrete office building in
the world, was built in FL PasO of
reinforced concrete; the American Ma
tiOnal, the two CapleS buildings, the
White House. the Banner build
WoOdenWare company home, and many
others are built Of this material dug
out of the hills near Ell PasO and
ground and burned into concrete at this
plant in Ell PasO. This company IS
furnishing cement to big building en-
terprises in all parts of Arizona and
New Mexico, and over western Texas
and northern Mexico.
With the busy humdrum of factory
life the railroad shops have not been
idle in the line of manufactures. The

other fats are refined. All of the var
ious oil companies that operate in the
state have plants here for the distri-
button of oil and its kindred products.
In East Ell PasO a brewery operates
the year around and the product is not
all consumed locally. Much of it is
shipped into competitive territory in
this state and in the states OF New
Mexico and Arizona
Two fOundries manufacture all metal
parts required in the various bust

for any purpose. A macarOni factory
is in operation in the southern part
of the city; also a cannerY and an
overall factory.
Three Brfclzyards Operate.
Three brickyards are kept busy the
year round manufacturing various
kinds Of brick and tile but so great
is the demand for this material in the
constant steady growth of the city
that much of it is shipped in from
eastern cities.
Shoes are made by machinery and bv

TIL PASO has in comparatively re-
r. cent years come to the forefront
- in manufactures, yet, with the
spirit of progress that prevails. it has
become widely known as a manufactur-
ing center of much Importance.
More important, because larger than
any other manufacturing plant in the
city, is the plant of the FL Paso Mill
ing company. commonly known as the
Pearson mills. Electric lights burn
there "a hours of each and every day
in the year. More than 500 meE earn
their daily wage or prlneeIy salaries
within the enclosure. Hundreds and
thousands of feet Of lumber from the
virgin forests of the Sierra Madres in
Mexico are there turned into lathes,
doors, sashes, crates and many other
necessities for this trade. The forests
from which the supply is drawn are
comparatively ineXhaustible-
Completed during the year 1917, TINS
plant has already grown to one OF I'M
mense proportions Freight cars de-
part from the company's property

product.
Shipments to Europe.
Brought up from Pearson and Ma
dera, where the company operates saw
mills, this lumber is the finest OF pine;
some of it so fine that it is shipped to
European, Asiatic and South American
ports because it is too valuable TO
manufacture into ordinary boxes and
doors.
Already the plant has cost nearly
a million dollars and so fast has
it grown that, from time to time, new
plans are being made for its enlarge
ment.
One of the most important features is
the manufacture of. onion crates, this
factory furnishing 100000 of these
crates of the 1000, 600 used for the on
ion crop of Texas during the year 1912.

The Conservation Spokesman Review
Issue. takes time TO re-
remark that the
biggest issue Of all before the country
has to do with the subject Of conser-
walton.
That is fact if by conservation is
meant the saving and utilization Of
natural resources for the benefit Of
the consuming public. II conserva-
tion merely means the holding up Of
resources by the government and the
eventual sale Of water power, tim
Der and coal 10 the public at top
prices through the various great con-
Germs dealing in such products then
conservation does not mean much TO
the people. 1t is frost.
Here is an illustration:
The Mississippi River Power Co.
owns a dam at Keokuk, where it
makes electric power. which It sells
to the Mississippi River Distributing
Co, which sells it to the Union Elec-
trio Co. Of St Louis, which sells it to
the consumers Of st. Louis. The price
they pay helps to make dividends for
the Union Electric ana for the North
American Co, which owns its voting
stock and controls its bonds; helps to
make dividends for the Mississippi
Distributing Co. and the North Am
erican Co, which owns its voting
stock and controls it's bonds; helps to
make dividends for the Mississippi
River Power Co. and the North AM
erican Co, which owns its voting
stock and controls Its bonds.
Ia ether words there are three diff
ferent and distinct concerns that
handle the electricity generated al
Keokuk. Each Company must make in
terest On It's bonds and dividends on
it's stock. The people Of ST. Louis
pay the bill.
Now IL in the course Of conser-
walton program the government
should permit Of further use Of the
Mississippi for power purposes and
should sell the power TO these same
concerns and allow them TO sell 20 the
people at such prices as they please,
what benefit would the people de-
rive from such a line Of action?
