Copper Decline Explained.

An Official of the Kennecott Copper
Company yesterday stated there is
nothing strange in the falling OF in
production of the company. accord
ing to advices from New York. The
official explained that the decline was
due to development work and trans
portation difficulties.
"All copper mines" he said. have
speeded up to limit and the majority
of them have to slow up a bit during
winter months. 1t would be impos-
sible to maintain the pace Of the last
six months. But this slowing down
means that copper prices will not be
weakened by increased output"

TX MARTINIEZ'S DISTINGUISHED CAREER -

earliest projectors of electric traction was one of the
most important factors in the final solution of this
problem, helped to promote the nteTuTban line,
active in the establishing of modern waterworks
system for the city, of the active promoters
and organizers OF the great cement manufacturing
plant participated in the PasO del NoIe hotel OrganiZa-
ton, both building and operating companies one
of the prime movers in improving the Plaza block
property Pioneer plaza and took part in many other
real estate development projects both city and suburban
Invariably his influence in the material affairs of city
life and development constructive and If he made
fortune out of it ALL it is also true that his work
of this nature has made money not only for all others
directly concerned but indirectly for the people of the
whole community who share in the benefits of all whole
constructive effort by whomsoever initiated and
carried forward.
But outstanding above and beyond all other public
services that remain to the credit of Felix Martinez in
this community is the work he accomplished in behalf
of the reclamation of the Rio Grande valley under
the great government water storage and irrigation
project. So many men have had part in working out
this vast problem, from first to last, that it is i'm
possible to accord to each his due of credit for
earnest and energetic effort and successful performance
But it is probable that there lives man who will
be disposed to deny that Felix Martinez did as much
any other man to bring about the fufment of the
great plan.
Mr. Martinez was one of the delegation to Ogden,
Utah. in 1908 that brought the 1904 session of the
National Irrigation congress to FL Paso. He was a
conspicuous and active member of the committee
of IS representing New Mexico Texas, and Mexico that
agreed upon definite plan for cooperation and paved
the way for the national TO take up the
Rio Grande problem under the national reclamation act
From the organization of the FL Paso Valley Water
Users association until his death he chairman Of
the executive board, serving practically without
pensation.
Mr.. Martinez personally directed and handled the
vast work of enlistng the cooperation of the valley
land owners, and adjusting the innumerable questions
of detail with the government bureau He made trips
to Washington in the interest of the project, and
carried the heavy correspondence having to do with
the development of the project during the last dozen
he
of the Franklin canal rights. His office has been the
headquarters of the association and the meeting place

- HIS PASSING SNAPS MANY CORDS

of countless conferences with the Elephant Butte Water
Users association of New Mexico. He was the man
to whom the farmers and all others looked for nforma
ton about the status OF the project and government
officials always went to him first and last for intimate
discussion of knotty matters.
He lived to see his cherished dream of long years
almost realized He the dam practically completed,
and lake B. M. Hall beginning to fthe largest body
of water stored for irrigation in the world He
the chief problems of distribution solved in the way
of solution And through 1t all, he was looking after
the interests of the individual farmer, the who
would have to make his living out of tilling the soil
It will be difficult to find another for the post
competent familiar with the ms and outs of the
Rio Grande problem, and responsive to the exacting
duties of the chairmanship he
Felix Martinez kept his private and domestic affairs
very much himself But he did not hesitate to talk
about his philosOphic religious ethical beliefsn-
deed he something of apostle, evangelist, Of
his particular cult of thought and belief He had
a religion of his own, and orthodox in nothing,
except in belief in Supreme Being, in the brother
hood of mankind in the essential justice of the universe
in final rewards and reTibutions and in progress He
was great reader and student of philosophy and his
torv and specialized much in realms of thought seldom
invaded by the average
Out of it all a mind and soul much given to
ideazing and marked by strong tendency to anayzs
mems motives and to exercise psychic powers He be-
1ieved above all things in the power of mind over
matter to modify circumstances change conditions and
environments, and direct the acts of and Of
nations their life history and development. The human
mind according him, is the greatest power in the
world under Deity and nothing is impossible to it-a
material things must give way to it, and the most
powerful mind minds in any age master their own
surroundings and the world. He thought he acted
along constructive lines and the power of love and faith
according his philosophy, is infinitely greater than
the power of hate and suspicion.
Such habits of mental exercise and exploration gave
Felix Martinez a certain ability to look at things
through the other fellows eyes. This helped to make
him successful in business, but it also gave him in
large the trait of charity toward his fellow
men which enabled him to communicate encouragement
and enthusiasm to Others and to plead most ardently
for wider humanity, for more stable peace and for
good will to prevail among men.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-03-23

In his political career and of late years in his many
appearances before student bodies and public gather
ings he has pleaded earnestly for the acceptance OF
that broader culture that comes from wide human
contact study of history, phosophic reflection, and
charity of opinion.
During the Mexican revolutionary period of the last
five years. he has taken active part with any faction
but has maintained genuine neutrality As FL Pasoar

loss of his influence will be wildly realized by all who
have allowed their minds to govern their passions,
and who have tried to through the miss of gnor-
and prejudice to the immutabe stars the ultimate
ideals of human progress.
He had developed his methods of eloquent argument
and personal influence along this line thoroughly
in recent years that national recognition had already
been given him in the appointment commissioner
for the Panama exposition to the South American re-
pubics-a mission which semidipomatic IN Its
nature and for which he anc his associate commissioners
received direct commissions the president and had
the use of cruiser Of the navy. He would have re-
ceived the appointment of International boundary com
missioner if he had indicated his willingness to accept
it this time; and undoubtedly if he had lived he
would have taken a larger and larger part IN pan
American relations, for which he specially fitted
In financial matters, he had already received ma
onal recognition in the appointment as director OF
the federal bank of this district; he was an
important figure in the affairs of the district

become not inconsiderabe factor in the development
of the banking and currency system Locally he

It is unwise to visit moving picture

In whose clothes they live and deposit
