increased valuation of this year is mainly
due to improvements within the city of
El Paso. Therefore when we infer logi-
cally-from the above items as premises
that El Paso county contains one-eighth
of the increased taxable values of this j
year of the great state of Texas, then we
say that the city of El Paso has made
such valuable improvements during its
last year's growth, as to, at least, repre-
sent one-tenth of the increased valuation
in the entire state of Texas, which is not
a small boast.
And yet we have accomplished this
without the aid of a boom of any kind,
and 110 one can charge that our values
are overestimated, but ou the contrary
all property is assessed somewhat lower
than its true value.
These figures are facts, and those who j
understand them will do well to visit El
Paso and help to swell them next year for
their own individual good.

Freight Rates to EI Paso.
The traffic managers of the Texas A
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
railroads are assembled in Chicago, to
talk over the late action of the Texas &
acific in reducing the rate to El Paso*
The meeting was called for the 16th. Up
to the 19th nothing had been accomplish-
ed. It will be remembered that when
Governor Sheldon was asked if the Texas
& Pacific meant to stick to the low rate,
he replied in the affirmative with em-
phasis.

Severe Storm.
New Orleans, Oct. 19.—A severe
storm has prevailed here since last night
with a rain fall of two inches, and the
wind reaching a velocity of 48 miles per
hour. Trees, fences and buildings were
blown down. Reports from plantations
along the Morgan City line, from Morgan
City to New Orleans, show that most all
the sugar cane has been blown flat. The
rear portion of this city, west of Cla-
bourne street, is inundated to a consider
able extent.
A Collision.
Lincoln, Neb:, Oct. 19.—On the Bur-
lington and Missouri road about 4 miles
from this city this morning two freight
trains collided. The wreck took fire and
both engines and seventeen loaded cars
were burned. Brakeman Isaac Daven-
port was caught in the wreck, and in
order to release him and prevent crema-
tion a fellow-trainman seized an axe and
chopped of! his imprisoned leg. He was
badly crushed and lived but a few hours.
No others were injured.

The Railway Register says . " Three-
fourths of the trade of El Paso comes
from Mexico, and it is deemed impracti-
cable to differentiate between the foreign
and the domestic classes ; so a common
rate, as low as the conditions and compe-
tition of the city warrant, will be estab-
lished. This will have the effect of push-
ing the city forward in population and
business consequence. The Atchison has
long had a plan for extending a line of
road down across the Panhandle of Tex-
as, and it is reported that this project
Will now lie pushed with great vigor, be
cause of a desire to be early on the ground
and secure a largo share of the rapidly-
enlarging international business. There
is also a well defined report that the Rock
Island will proceed steadily to extend its
road to El Paso. The result cannot be in
doubt. The city will be greatly benefit-
led. for the interests of the two republics
are so nearly identified that'the volume
of exchange must advance in a geometri-
cal ratio.]'
There is no doubt of the fact that upon
the future of our international trade with
Mexico depends the growth and prosper
ty of our city.
We can only fail if the Mexican Cen-
tral railrod fails. But who can expect
such a failure? That road begins at the
north of our neighboring republic and
goes southward through its richest parts,
touching the capital of nearly every state
either by main line or branch, and its
progrsss to this date shows that only the
most brilliant and profitable future is in
llore for its owners.
Governor Sheldon, of the Texas and
Pacific road, has fully grasped this idea
and by giving El Paso JJ low freight rate
has granted our merchants the power of
controlling in a measure the trade with
Mexico. His act, though very favorable
to El Paso, has a wider .signification and
he merits the sympathy ami good will of
*11 American manufacturers who care to
introduce their goods into Mexico and
take away some of the European trade
done there, which properly belongs to
Americans.
