There seems to be no evidence that
the party ever did anything to better
the condition Of the people or that their
policy was ever anything but an effort
to exploit the many for the benefit Of
the very few, but there liz no doubt that
under Crecls administration much was
done by aiding the establishment Of
public utilities, paving streets and build
ing public buildings. by establishing
banks and starting various enterprises
and by fostering commerce to open up

AS the royal family became more
powerful and arrogant the hatred of
the pcon toward the cientifico party
waxed proportionately. but so great was
royalty's influence that no one dared
to rebel until the Madero revolution in
1910.
Now that people dare to speak openly
there IL hardly crime or sin that
gossip does not attribute to the eXiied
royalists. and there is little room for
doubt that the conditions for which the

wealth amounts to now Is a matter OF
conjecture merely.
Where Terrazas confined himself
mainly to getting land Creel's more YER

OF methods of adding to his fortune
one OF the most effective Of these was

To have had so profound an effect on the
feelings OF the people as their acquisi-
ton or land and the methods employed
in getting It,
Chihuahua has never been properly
surveyed unless the German engineers
working for TcrraZas surveyed 1t in
its entirety. In fact there are still large
areas where 1t is highly probable that
no man with the possible exception of
some Indian band has been since the
spanish conquest. This fact together
with the law that there must be def
mite titles to land facilitated one means
Of getting land.
In some cases haciendas were bought
and the contiguous lands claimed under
the title deed. The possessors Of these
lands had small chance to prove their
claims in court against the accurate
surveys of the members OF the royal
Family. or an even simpler process
was to fence In lands and lay claim TO
them. Here again the ADLER lawyers
and actual survey were convincing in
court even had the judiciary been unn-
fiucnced, and whatever the facts of the
matter were. the people believe SO
strongly that the courts were not i'm
partial that many Of the legal profess
sion have thought it safer to leave the
country for the present.
There are also many stories of
threats and violence used to remove the
posscssors from desirable pieces of land
hut these are impossible to substantlatc
satisfactorily at present. Many suits
for recovery of land have already been
filed.
AT one time law, perfectly reason
able on It's face, was passed that all
titles to land must he registered pub

This law led to short reign of terror

control OF the money market. 1t was

of the State of Chihuahua, as there is
much desert country here.
Luis TerraZas can be called self
made man. for his beginnings were
simple enough. He is the direct de-
scendant Of old Spanish conquista-
dores and his forefathers were among
the pioneers in this region. making their
hrst historical appearance at Hacienda
Talamantes, not far from this city, and
being obscure or prominent in the af-
Iairs or the community as the head of
the family was weak man or a strong
one.
At the death of his father Luis in
herited 5000 pesos and went into bus-
ness in small way near the public
market place. The fine residence Of "A

ness through the sos. Much of the
success of the store, which at first was
OF the type called tendajon or Cheap
john" was because of the help and
shrewdness of Porvas. Porvas when
his former partner became great was
made administrator of his affairs.
In the late sos Terrazas went into
politics and in it found his real oc-
cupation. He is said to have resembed
the late Mark Hanna in his appearance
and manner. He soon became jcfc po-
litico, then Governor. and unflattcring
stories are told of his manipulation OF
the mint, for Chihuahua then coined

gether the vast estate of which he was
possessed.
At that time the shrewd man with a
little capital had wonderful opportunl-
ties, Previous to 1860 the Apachcs and
Comanches had by their continuous
raids made the northern part of the
State uninhabitable and land except
near large towns was worthless How
terrible these raids We're is shown in the
report Of a Spanish Governor that in
one five year period late in the cigh-
teenth century more than 1,647 persons
lost their lives.
1t was not until 1880 that The MeXi-
can Government made serious efforts to
rid the country Of them by punitive
expeditions and placing bounty, at
one time as much as $3.50, on Apache
scalps The last Of the expeditions was

Luis, who In 1860 defeated the enemy

country has since been practically free

Luis TerraZas was shrewd enough tn
