READY FOR
WERDICT
ITH no unforeseen obstacle
arising, New Mexico and Ari
zona will become states before
another year is scratched off the calen-
ir.
During the past year the enabling act
for each of the territories was passed
y congress and the people of each
commonwealth have drawn their con-
stitutIons. The conventions at which
the constitutions were prepared have
only recently completed their work and
the constitutions are now before the
people for approval or disapproval be
fore submission to the congress of the
United States and the president for ac
tion. With the approval of the constitution
by congress, the two commonwealths
will proceed to the election of their
state officers and it is ftttly expected
that by next December the states of
Arizona and New Mexico will have their
own senators occupying seats in the
halls of congress at Washington.
The Tvro Constitutions.
The constitution of New Mexico was
prepared by a Republican convention
and that of Arizona by a Democratic
organization. The two constitutions
are widely different and that of New
Mexico Is generally considered the more
conservative. The New Mexico consti
tution embodies the referendum only,
while Arizona's provides for the refer
endum, the recall and the initiative and
the recall applies to the judiciary as
wpII as to other officers. New Mexico
officers will hold office for four year
terms, and none are eligible for reelec
tion, while in Arizona officers will
serve for two years only.
The steps thus far taken In the di
rection of statehood by the territories
have greatly stimulated business
throughout each, and many new enter
prises have taken shape since the pas
sage of the enabling ac$. The towns
and villages of each territory have
grown rapidly during 1910 and many
new enterprises have been undertaken,
including the promotion of a number of,
new gigantic mining enterprises, the
construction of new railroads, the In
auguration of a number of very con
siderable irrigation projects and the
general development of the country.
Rapid Growth.
Throughout the two territories, mu
nicipal improvements have been exten
sive and in keeping with the general
advance of the communities, and no
where in the country are towns of the
same size the equal in progressiveness
of those of Arizona and New Mexico.
Farming has been generally advanced
very largely in New Mexico during the
past year and great stimulus has been
given to the citrus fruit industry in
the Salt river valley of Arizona by the
completion of the Roosevelt dam.
About Yuma there has also been a
large increase in land values, due to the
completion of the Laguna dam across
the Colorado river.

' SUCCESSFULLY
A NOTEWORTHY achievement of
the year 1910 in 331 Paso was the
erection on the corner of Mis-
! souri and Fisher streets of the board
ing home of the Y. W. C. A. The lots
j v.ere turned over to the Y. W. C. A. for
this purpose by the Missionary Union,
( at the time of the organization of the
El Paso association in April, 1909.
The canvass for funds began In No
vember 1909, the Trielle club, an or
ganization among the business women
of the association, taking the lead. The
first of the year the directors joined in
the work, and the subscription list
grew rapidly, the people of El Paso
coming to the front loyally. In April,
1910, Mrs. Russell Sage, who has long
been a friend of the Y. "W. C. A., came
to the aid of El Paso, and made It
possible, by her gift of $10,000, to be
gin the work of construction prac
tically free of debt. Two "tag" days
have helped materially In this work.

NOTHING has a. tendency to Indi
cate the growth of a city to a
greater extent than the volume
of business done by the postoffice. El
Paso shows Its growth by the receipts
of the postoffice and proves conclu
sively that the city has grown steadily
and fast.
At the close of the year 1900 the re
ceipts totaled but $30,324.87, and at the
end of the year 1910 the receipts for
the 12 months were $125,903.05, show
ing the remarkable gain of $95578.18.
During the year 1910, after all ex
penses had been paid at the local
postoffice, $34,796.04 was forwarded to
the district office at Austin, Tex.,
showing what El Paso has been doing
tc wipe out the postoffice deficit
which postmaster general Hitchcock
has been working hard to eliminate.
The receipts during 1910 for the
four quarters are shown as follows:

MODERN sewage and garbage
disposal plant is to be one of the
New Year's presents to the city.
ilans having been adopted by the city
counail and contracts awarded for the
construction. The initial cost is $100,
000, but the plant will be so construct
ed thatWdItlons m&y De added at any
time. Finally, the plant will represent
an expenditure approximating that
similar establishments In the large
cities.
Allied with the new system will be
complement of sewers alread5 con
structed, and the storm sewers, a
ber of blocks of which have been
pleted the past year.
The construction of the sewage and
garbage disposal plants is anotrfer step
in the fight El Paso is waging to ef
fect elvic reform and civic cleanliness
the results of which are alrea'dy appar
ent. Instead of using the Rio Grande
for a sewer, the sewage is to be utiliz
ed, be cleansed, according to present
plans, and used to make the system, in
part, self-sustaining. The garbage Is to
be destroyed.
To Cause Property Increase.
The completion of the plant will re
sult! in an advance of values in the city
as property located In the outlying dis
tricts is to benefit under the new
scheme. Considerable of the suburban
property tracts are already supplied
with the sewage system as It exists at
present, but under the new plans the
service is to be bettered and extended.
This is to be especially true in the
southern sections of the city and along
the river, where modern Improvements
and safeguards for healthfulness have
not as yet been introduced. The prop
erty In that section Is considered one of
the valuable assets of the city, al
though It is Inhabited largely by Mexi
cans. i
j The plans for the allied plants were
prepared by the Public "Works Engin
eering company, of Porland, Oregon, a
company that has Invaded western ter
ritory as often as it has landed con
tracts in the west, and that the plant is
to be as near perfection as possible
and up to the standards required b the
boards of health In a number of states,
is guaranteed by ai sufficient bond.
Storm Sewers.
Other improvements made by the city
the past year In the sewage extension
scheme, include the construction of the
Oregon and Main street storm sewers.
"Work on the latter is now nearing
completion and will furnish an outlet
for flood water from the northern sec
tion of the city, and prevent inunda
tion of the southern section. The con
struction of this gigantic concrete tun-j
nel has been an expensive task.
The new deep sewer, running from
the basement of the Mills building to
San Antonio street, is another asset to
the business district of the city. It
represents an expenditure of almost
$5000 and has just been completed. It
enables the sewage to be run out of the
basement levels of business houses.
In East El Paso, the laying of sewer
pipe Is an active occupation, many
blocks having been laid the past sum-
mer. The promise is given that the
work is not vto be stopped.
The city has a plant that makes its
own sewer pipe.

HILE the city of El Paso boasts
more paved streets than any
other city in Texas of equal
the county of El Paso lays un-
sputed claim to the finest system of
oadways in the country.
There are 54 miles of asphalt ma
cadam roadway in the state of Texas.
Of this El Paso county has 50 miles.
This is a sample of the way El Paso
and El Paso county has. been doing
things In the past two years. During
the year, 31 6-10 miles of new road
have been constructed In El Paso coun
ty, connecting El Paso directly to the
upper and lower valleys.
The road from Courchesne to the
state line at Anthony has been complet
ed and is now being used by the upper
valley ranchers who are bringing their
produce to the El Paso markets. This
road is of the best quality of con
struction, 12 feet wide and is one of
the really fine driveways out of El
Paso. It connects with the experiment
al piece of roadway which extends from
old Fort Bliss to Courchesne. Clint and
San Elizario have been connected .by a
piece of asphalt macadam roadwajj two
and a half miles In length. From Clint
to Fabens there Is to be seven and one
half miles of new road put down as
rapidly as possible, two and a half
miles of It being already completed.
From Ysleta to Clint there are nine
miles of this paving.
Fifty Miles of HIsrlnYay.
There are aow 50 miles of paved high
way in the county, exclusive of the city
paving. This extends from the state
line at Anthonj to the lower end of
the valley and is the finest that engin
eering skill can construct. With the
exception of the laterals, which will
connect the main road to the smaller
ones, the road building in the county
has been completed for the present, the
only piece now under contemplation be
ing a short lateral from Clint to the
foothills north of the road. It is esti
mated that 250,000 has been spent for
roads within the county during the past
three years, which has put El Paso
county in the first rank of good road
counties of the state. Concrete bridges
have alao been constructed on all Of
these Improved roads.
There is now a stretch of asphalt
topped macadam road in El Paso county
CO miles in length, extending from the
rorthern boundary of the county on the
New Mexico line at Anthony, south to
Fabens, below El Paso.
A Great Highway.
The officials of the territory of New
Mexico and the county of Dona Ana in
that territory are now constructing a
roadway south from Las Cruces to con
nect with the El Paso road on the north
and when this is completed it will add
another 25 miles to the available good
roads over which El Pasoans may drive
automobiles or do business. It is the
ultimate intention of New Mexico offl
constructed of crushed stone several
Inches deep, placed upon an excavated
and well rolled earth surface, held to
gether by an asphalt binder. The work
is expensive, but has proved effective
and has won the commendation of road
experts the country .pver ds the finest
in existence. Owing to the peculiar
qualities of the soil, the proximity of
suitable stones and the splendid cli
mate of El Paso, the roads are kept In
perfect repair at very small cost and
experts have declared that they will
last for 20 to 30 years.
Ysleta, Socorro, San Elizario, Clint,
Fabens and other settlements smaller
are reached by these splendid roads
south of El Paso in the valley and
north of the city Towne, Courchesne,
White Spur, La Tuna and several other
communities are reached on the Texa3
side, and an equal number on the New
Mexico side of the river.
Trees have 'been -set out on each side
of the road for a distance of several
miles below El Paso and this work will
be continued each year until the road
forms a beautiful tree-lined bouule
vard for Its entire length.
During the year just closed, most of
the road to the New Mexico border
north of El Paso and practically all of
that section south, except the first 12
miles to Ysleta, has been constructed
Church Extensions and
Many New Buildings
A city Is judged by its public and t who live too far out to attend the
semi-public buildings. El Paso is noted
for Its public buildings and is known
as the city of churches. Every denom
ination has a structure which is a cred
it to the "city and to itself. Many of
the larger congregations have missions
scattered through the suburbs and
these in turn grow and develop into in
dependent units of the city's church ac
tivity. The Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Baptist, Methodist, Christian, Catholic
and Christian Science churches are all
imposing edifices and a decoration to
the city's architectural design.
The First Church of Christ (Scientist)
completed during the present year a
$10,000 place of worship. Thisis locat
ed on the corner of Montana and Kan
sas and is of Impressive classic archl

The Bnai Zion congregation has pur
chased lots on north El Paso street
and started sr building fund to erect a
modern temple there for this congrega
tion. The Chapel of the Holy Family, on
North Oregon street, is also to be re
placed with a modern church structure
by the Catholic congregation and a
number of other churches in the city
are planning to build or improve their
homes during the coming year.
The Congregational church congre
gation is planning the early erection
of an edifice of worship on the corner
of Rio Grande and Williams streets.

comfortable hou.se of worship.
The Highland Park Baptist church
has been completed during the year at a
cost of $10,000. The church Is on the
Highland Park car line and. although
