Ell Paso As A Livestock Center

Great Future Expansion
In the past Ell PasO has felt and ap-

/ are cOnversant with conditions affecting
/ this business internationally, nationally
and locally realize that the influence
I of the livestock industry in FL PasO is
bound to increase and to continue TO
| attract the general attention Of the
country.
The eastern range country IS fast be-

horses and sheep.
The northern states Of Mexico, up to
the present time wOefullY undevelOped.
are gradually being occupied and stocked
by American interests, and as soon as
conditions IN the republic of Mexico
warrant, a marked development of this
district may be expected
Packing Houses.
The early development Of the Rio
GTaEde valley, made certain BY the
add the extensive raising of hogs to our
livestock industry. This heralds the ad
vent OF packing houses. Even at the
present time two of the largest packers
are seriously considering the location Of
plants at this point
We believe Ell Paso's livestock indus
try IS great enough, her territory is i'm
mense enough, her control Is strong
enough to stamp lei PasO as America's
coming livestock center. In order to de-
velOp along broad lines, this industry
as well as any other industry. must
have excellent banking facilities El
PasO bankers have in the past furnished
the funds for this territory. and intend
70 do so in the future. Their experiences
has proved that loans made on this class
of security are among their best and most
liquid paper, and their assistance has
supported and fOstered the business.
With the advent of the government into
the control of the credit conditions Of
the country. it Is important that the loca-
ton of a branch bank here at this con-
trolling point of the livestock industry
be assured.

I'll PASO occupies its unique and
H important place in the livestock
industry Of the United States and
Mexico on account of its location. 1t IS
in the center of the immense breeding
district embraced within southern Arl-
iona, southern New Mexico, west Texas
and portions of the Mexican states OF
Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango and Goa
hula.
This territory contains approximately
427 900 square miles, equal to about
one-seventh of the total area OF the
United States. exclusive OF Alaska.
It IS the largest area directly con
trOled by any livestock center.
Ideal Stock Country.
The climatic conditions of the FL Paso
territory enable it to produce livestock
more cheaplY than any other territory
on the North American continent Live
stock are not subjected to extremes OF
heat and cold. Consequently they live
and produce on the open range the year
round. They are also practically 1ree
from disease in this region.
Estimates show 100000 cattle, $780,
900 horses and 1,750,000 sheep grazing
on this FL PasO territory, valued at
approximately S60000,000. Because OF
Transportation facilities and market ad-
FL PasO asset.
The many railroads. centering at FL
PasO enable the stock raiser OF this
territory to enjoy the sales facilities
of this point. Colorado. Wyoming. Mon
tana. Nebraska, the Dakotas and Canada
on the north, Mexico on the south,
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Texas
on the east. and New Mexico, Arizona
and California on the west, all send
cattle buyers to FL Paso.
Great Central Market.
This Is the only market where the
California buyer completes with the
eastern buyer. This fact gives the pro
Queer in the Ell PasO territory an ex-
ceptionaI advantage, as range conditions
are sure to be good at one or the other
of the points from which buyers come.
FL Paso is IN effect a clearing house
for the livestock interests of this great
section. since it offers an lntra- sectional
as well as inter sectional, market.
Ell Taso has four stock wards, owned

of these yards is 400 cars per diem, and

FIOm LOrdsburg IN Nd liberal
Cashier Coon, of the First National
bank, went to FL PasO last Saturday
to meet secretaries 1IcAdoO and HOus-
ton. Besides Mr.. Coon there were
many other bankers from this section,
all of whom wanted to be in the same
territory as Ell PasO, and told the sec
rotaries so. He said the meeting was
one of the best jobs of team work he
ever had seen. Many men made many
talks, but their talks had been ar
ranged for before hand. There was no
repetition, every man talked direct to
his subject, and the whole question
was thoroughly covered. All agreed
on one point, and that was he wanted
to be in the same district as FL Paso.

entered Fontainebleau. one Of the
most historic towns in all France, To-
Gated on the Seine a short distance from
Paris. FOntainebleau Is particularly
famous as the seat of the magnificent
royal palace, which was first erected at
the beginning of the 18th century and
enlarged and adorned by the successive
kings of France. Here was signed the
famous concordat between the emperor
Napoleon and pope Plus VII. in January,
1913. And here, also. the emperor was
soon to formally abdicate the throne
of France and bid farewell to his army,
before being banished to Elba by the
victorious nations allied against him.

REYOND SUGGESTION.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am p, and in love with young
girl of IS. who has declared her love
for me, but we cannot agree because
OF the difference in our religion, she
being a Catholic, and very religious,
while I am a Jew, and not religious
She insists that she cannot give up her
religion
Would you advise me to drop her, or
wait mill she is older2 FRANK.
A question or difference in creed is
too serious for any third party to
settle.
As a general rule, the man gives up
his church, for the reason that wO-
mans church means more to her. She
is naturally more devOut.
I hope YOU viii not make a decision
in haste, remembering that it is serI-
GUS, and for life.

pany for a year with a young man who

feet fool over me, and think great
deal of him.
He doesn't seem to think so much Of
me right here lately, and fuses a
Danv with. and doesn't want me to go
with other boys. While out of my
sight he seems to enjoy being with
other girls LOUISA
His Jealousy is one point that he
cares for YOU. and he may be going
with other girls to incite your jealousy.
Don't let him succeed Be the same
friendly companion you have always
been, and if he becomes too exacting
and fault finding, give him up. Youth
is too short to let any of it be spent
in trying to placate a disagreeable
man

THEY NAY BE.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am keeping company with young
man three years my senior and would
like to know If he loves me.
When I see him he acts cold, out
when ne writes you would think ne
thinks there is no girl like me.
He took my girl friend and me out
once. They went dancing together and
let me stand by myself. Ny girl friend
is keeping steady company with a
friend of his. 1t would break my heart
to give him up. Do you think there
are signs of love?
A GIRL FROM FLATBUSH..
The signs of love are so varied that
no one can say this young man does
not love you.
Perhaps the fault lies with you. It
may be that you let him see that you
care a great deal for him, and that he
has the power to make you jealous.
Don't do It Be a little more indif-
ferent. azs..-

The vanadium deposits of southern
New Mexico and Arizona are lust begin

The iron deposits of Grant county,
New Mexico, have been drawn on heavily
by the Colorado plants for 20 years.
Those OF OterO and Lincoln counties are
lust beginning to be mined.
The quicksilver deposits in Preside
county, Texas. are producing steadily. as
are also the silver mines near Shafter.
Due to the revolution in Mexico pro-
ductlOn from the mines in Chihuahua
and Sonora has been greatly cuTtSIled;
nevertheless, as shown by the figures.
the value of Mexican metals smelted
at El PasO Is very considerable.
Must Come to FL Paso.
The above facts show that mining in
the southwest Is an industry that IS
growing rapidly. They also give some
idea of the size of this industry in the
territory tributary to Ell Paso. No mat
ter how much other cities may desire
the business from these districts, natural
and transportation conditions lead it to
FL Paso.
Smelling in the United States Is bare

The payroll OF this smelter now

num- Its purchases Of supplies through
local houses amount to approximately

OF the metals treated averages over
