ed thnt at no time in the past had

San Angeloites In Dallas.
The Dallas News of Thursday'
Sept. 8 contains the following:
1' our of as optimistic and en-
thusiastic business men as have
visited Dallas in many a dav were
Charles B. Metcalfe O. E." Hud
son George llngelstem ana V.
D. Currier all of Snn Angelo
who spent a few hours in Dallas
yesterday.
They were on their way homo
from Galveston where they call
ed upon the ollicials of the Santa
ho as to the securing ol certain
priviliges in the matter of freight
and passenger rates to and from
San Angelo They presented the
claim that a city supplying such
a great area of country us does
theirs should be given n common
point rate. They praise highly
the treatment which the railroad
people gave them and say that
General Manager Nixon and other
ollicials of the freight and passon-
gr departments are deserving of
much praise for the manner in
which they have interested them-
selves in the .San Angelo country.
Some of these ollicials lately
visited their home and already
since that time the favorable
otFects huve been evinced.
To hear these gentlemen praise
the city and country where they
live is extremely interesting.
San Angelo is known as the wind-
mill city of United States on ac-
count of druwing its water supply
from wells by means of wind
power.
"It is a town which while hav-
ing now only about 7000 people
is enjoying u steady and substan-
tial growth" Baid Mr. Metcalfe.
'It never had a boom and doesn't
want any and the chances aie
that it wouldn't get such soon.
But on the other hand Xorthe.ru
and Eastern people lire coming
into the town nnd the great ex-
panse of surrounding territory
and rapidly bringing it to the
position of one of the prosperous
sections of TexiiB. The great live
stock rancheB which for years
have existed are giving way to
the small stock farm and every-
thing is on the upward move.
"Heretofore this country has
been comparatively undeveloped
but x is not going to be so any
more. The longhom really has
given way to the shorthorn and
the land around Snn Angelo has
proven that it is one of the great-
est cotton-growing sections of the
state This is largely because
there are no insects to bother the
plant.
"Therefore we heartily invite
those who have been troubled by
the boll weevil in other parts of
the state or in other states to
join us where this pest is un-
known. Other crops yield abun-
dantly there for we have n soil
that can not be surpassed lor
fertility. It isn't so expensive
either for it can be bought the
best quality of land fbr $J!0 to
$50 under the ditch ; raw can bo
had for $S to S20 grazing for $!
to $5 and upland for SS to $14.
"As showing the way in which
the cotton industry has been ad-
vanced it may be said that two
years ago there were but two
cotton gins in that locality while
now there aro between twelve and
fifteen. The country is being
settled by a good clasB of Eastern
and Northern people who are
coming to stay.
"The country iB well watered
the following streams llowing
through it: North Middle
South and Main Concho Rivers
Spring Dove Pecan Lipau
Kiokapoo and Red Creeks and the
Colorado River. Besides these
Btreams anywhere in the country
there are line wells to be had by
going from forty to three hundred
feet deep. Tho Btreama are nil
supplied by springs nnd there
seems to be nn inexhaustible
underflow. All the streams are
well bridged many school homes
are being built nnd geuernlly the
improvements nro of the best
character.
"The climate is a desirenbla
one there being little cold in
winter. Tho atmosphere is dry
and for that reason it poHsesBes
the qualities of I suppose one of
the most healthful climates in
the world.
"Consumption pntients livo in
tonts while receiving trentment
nnd it ii this living in connection
with tho favorablo atmosphere
und general conditions which
usually ell'oct cures to tho
patienU where the cases are not
advancod beyond hope of cure
anywhere.
"All lines of business are pros-
perous in San Acgolo. Wo have
four banks eaoh with large capi
tal five brick buildings are under
construction ono of these being
erected at a cost of $28000 to bo
the home of another bank.
Vacant lots in tho town are sell
ing for $150 to $200 a front foot.

"We are making special prepar-
ations for a carnival to be held
Oct. 18-20. The railroads have
promised us cheap rates and the
indications arethat we will have
a big attendance. There are to
be all kinds of good attractions
including a large number of
musicians from Hrenham. Live
stock and other exhibits nro to be
made but the cattle roping feat-
ure will bo cut out this year. For
all these exhibits liberal pre-
miums lire being offered. Tho
secretary of tho Carnival Assooiu-
tion will be pleased to Btipply all

Mr. Metcalfe iB proprietor of
what iB known ub the Texas mule I
school consisting of twenty Con-'
cho Country mules trained in a
number of interesting tricks by
