; it really means. The reclamation OF
ficials tell me that the water from ~

acre. But taking IN very conserVa-
1 tive. that for the first few years the

/ would bring in at least 500 an acre
This means that in the near future

and trade channel for Sl5,OOoOoO a

Diamonds, the real perfect blue
white ones. are increasing at the rate
of 10 or II percent every year, de-
! cIared Robert Slberberg, today. Every
shipment is higher than the previous
I consignment. 1t begins to look as II
( there would be no ending to the way
! diamonds would increase in value.
{ had an example Of 1t today that made
me suddenly realize the terrific increase
there has been in the past ten years
! A man from Mexico City brought IN q
diamond for US to set and Wnen ne
came after it I asked him if he cared
to sell it, for it was a beautiful stone
He asked me how much it was worth
! and told him $3.50. Then he said
DO you remember selling me thai
! diamond in Mexico City ten years ago
Well, you did he continued, and you
sold it to me for S400 Mexican SzO'
gold Now what do you think OF thai
] for an increase in price IN ten years
from 5000 to S12S0?"
eff FL Paso could do something Il
stop the traffic to California each sum
mer. it would be worth a million dol
lars a year to this city" said John n
Wyatt, vice president of the FRS
National bank, today. IF we could fOl
Just this one year, when people every
where are talking hard times induc'
our people to sign an agreement Z
stay at home instead of going to Cali
: fornia, it would be the biggest thing
) that could be done. If we could eyel
, get the majority to agree to stay a
, home, it would mean keeping at leas
/ half a million dollars here during tn
summer, which is always the dulles
period. FL. PasOans never spend a
| little as half a million year going q
I California"
