It is now an acknowledged fact that
there is a secret in building towns. I»o
you know what it is? If you don’t,
you can work oat the problem in the
following manner: Take two town-
sites; let one be a beautiful location,
with all natural advantages possible,
and the other, none of these. Take
GOO old fogies and misers, men who do
believe in giving capitalists anything
for risking their money iu their town--
and put them on the good site. Take
200 good, live, onergoti.% got-up sort of
feUows, who never let an opportunity
pass to advertise themselves and their
town, and set them on the poor town-
*ite. Then watch these two towns for
the next five years, and you will very
readily catch onto the secret of town
building.—Las Vegas Optic.

will issue on Monday,
Dec. 28th, a sixteen page extra edition
of five thousand copies to be known as
the “Silver Convention Special Edi-
tion,” containing the detailed proceed-
ings of the late Southwest Silver con-
vention at El Paso with all the statis-
tics presented and speeches made by
distinguished visitors.
The primary object of this edition is
to emphasize El Paso as the home of
the permanent organization of the
miners of the southwest and to create
the same impression upon those minors
who did not attend the convention as
was made upon those who were fortun-
ate enough to be here. Wo want to
make these impressions lasting and
with a true record of the events of last
week we cannot fail in this purpose.
Our description of the grand trades
display will be a feature that will not
only recommend El Paso to our read-
ers but will bring to them a thorough
knowledge of our industries and the
class of enterprising merchants that
our city contains. It will be a most
complete advertisement for each of
those who avail themselves of space iu
just the tributary sectiou that sur-
rounds El Paso and whose trade our
city should make all due efforts to con-
trol. It will make a lasting benefit of a
of a temporary expense already paid
by our citizens.
The edition will be well circulated
throughout the country and will thor-
oughly cover tho mining camps of the
southwest. It will be for El Paso and
for El Paso’s business men and will
prove productive of good results as
one of the best advertisements both
for our city and for t e business firms
that will patronize the enterprise.

THAT RIVER LEVEE AGAIN.
The levee project will be reconsidered
by the city council, the Times so un-
derstands and hopes it is the case.
One of the first rulesfor buildinj up
your town is: “Don’t object to im-
provements bocauso they are not oppo-
site your front door.” The river levee
should find no objection from locali-
ties where streets are sprinkled.
The Times knows a taxpayer on city
property that lies so remote from the
business center that he gets no benefit
from the taxes he pays for police, for
street lights, water service, sprinkling,
sewerage, etc. Yet if he was to oppose
ail these improvements which other
citizens enjoy he would have as much
cause as those who now oppose the
levee project. The property we refer
to is in the city limits near Fort Bliss.
This city taxes property owners for
street lights, for sewers, for police, for
sprinkling, for water, etc., and much
of tho property taxed derives no benefit
from that tax. There are numerous
parts of the city unlighted, without
water mains or sewers, where a police-
man is never seen and a sprinkling
cart would bo taken for a circus. Now
the levee project will benefit such
parts of the city and we find objectors
from the very sections that are best
served by the city where all tho money
goes for just the purposes above enu-
merated. Let us equalize these ben-
efits and build the levee. It is home
work anyhow and the money will allbo
distributed here.

A RAILROAD’S REASON
(Silver City Enterprise.)
In reference to the rat© charged by
the Santa Fe for delegates to the El
Paso convention, the Enterprise has
been creditably informed that the addi-
tional charge of onethird was forced
upon the Santa Fe by the Southern
Pacific, as under the interstate com-
merce law, the shorter haul makes the
rate, and the Southern Pacific taking
advantage of this clause forced the
Santa Fe into charging the additional
fare. This statement is made in jus-
tice to the Santa Fe, which has always
endeavored to do justice to residents in
this section, and in the present instant
was clearly homeless.
