J the railroad king. Mr llarrlman has
a tempoery country home made of
> tents In tlii· spacious park surround-
| Iiiκ tin' hot wells just outside of tills
» city. Ills icnts arc 11 · ■ a u t i Γ1111 > fitted

J electricity. They are pitched lu η row
> of beautiful pecan trees and are not
far from the San Antonio river. Near
I hem also Is a spur of the Han An-
tonlo and Arctium* Pass railroad on
which stands Mr. Ilarriman's special
ι (rain.
Accompany I η g Mr. Harrlman are
! Ills daughter. Miss Mary llarrlman
> Robert W. (ioelet a friend of the
I family Mr. Krutchnltt hii official of
the road Mr. Thornwell Fay of
Houston Thomas Price secretary to
Mr. llarrlman and Hugh Nelll sec-
retary to Mr. Krutchnltt and the
party are enjoying golf and lioise-
. j back riding and other out of door
' [sports They have engaged two of
ί the finest and largest autfmobllea of
■ jtlie city and are taking full advan-
| tage of the 186 miles of line roads
! that network the country about San
Antonio.
Mr. llarrlman has shown himself
very democratic and approachable
and has talked freely and frankly to
the newspaper men. lie says that
this trip has no special significance
as far as new railroad building Is
concerned and Is merely a trip of
rest and recuperation lie denies that
he Is hoping for an Invitation to go
to South Africa with Theodore
Roosevelt and declares that If he
went to such an unpleasant country
j he would want to choose pleasant
company for the trip.
I So far from being the haughty
I financial magnate he has been ap-
! proachable even to the masses of the
i people allowing the curious crowd
to visit bin quarters lie has talked
freely and frankly to anybody who
comes along and even went so far as
to Invite a newspaper reporter to eat
lunch with him. In his public Inter-
views he has taken the newer and
enlightened stand that many rail-
roads have lone things to arouse the
storm of public opposition that
has assailed them In recent yearn
but that nevertheless this hoatl»<y
to rnllroads. just because they nre
railroads Is prejudicial ti> the coun-
try's beat Interests. In a few days
Mrs. Marritnnn and hie younger
daughter will join the party at the
camp and they will probably remain
In this city until sometime In the
spring.
