THE SAN ANGELO PRESS SAN ANGELO. TEXAS THURSDAY JUNE 15 1905

Texas Press Association Echoe&Wmmmm
What the Pencil Pushers of the Great Lone Star State
Found to Admire in Me Metropolis ef West Texas.
Comanche Chief.
To bod ; to sloop under the lul-
labies of the Browuwood band
playing on t ho second piazza of
the hotel. Awoke at 4:130: breuk-
fast at 5:130; aboard a special
Santa Fo train at 0 and off foi'(
San Angela thirty minutes later
It was our last dny in that section '
and the heavens began to weep '
copiously. Town after town wont
shimmering by and wo wist noti
what tlioy were past Bangs and
her bungs were so wet she did not
look her best past Santa Anna
in the lugubrious shadows of over
hanging mountains past Talpa
Bnlliuger and Miles. The heav-
ens dried its tears toro away its
veil of clouds and turned upon
us a smiling sunshiny western
welcoino. Tho prairie dogs ap-
peared and shook their abbreviat-
ed anecdotes to tho accomponi-
montof a musical bark Tho
mesquito covered prairies rolled
and swelled until near San An-
gelo when they came to a stand-
still and as far as the eye could
boo Btretched their unrullled front
toward tho setting sun.
A halt waB niado at Miles to re-
coivo a soronado from tho local
band in brilliant red uniform
and bo excellent was the music
that the pencil boyB arrested
thorn on a bench warraut took
them on board and carried them
to their destination.
Arrived at San Angolo Queen
of tho ConchoB at 10:!30. Shim-
mering in tho sunlight and out-
Bproad on the buiks of tho pret-
tiest stream in the West like the
wings of a great bird after a
drenching rain wo had soon it
grow on our vision for sometime
from tho windows of tho skim-
ming train. The town was at
the dopot on wheols and so evi-
dent was its hospitality that Tom
Perkins took a bottle of it homo
with him.
Tho vehicles with their precious
visiting burdens scattered over
the city and to tho variegated
editorial vision was unrolled a
panorama of beautiful homes of
spacious avenues of Metropolitan
buBineEB buildings and stocks of
natural Bcouery tho like of which
is found no where olse in the
booming bounding West. There
are two bank buildings in San
Angolo that aro us handsome us
anything of tho kind in Texas. A
hotel she lias little short of tho
Oriental in structural elegance
and completeness.
To this scnbbler San Angelo
was a revelation and a surprise.
He had expected to Hnd a livo
city of cowboy crudonees; ho
found a city with plonty of cul-
ture as cosmopolitan ns Dallas
with wealth bulging from its
banks and business houses and
dropping in golden nuggots from
a hundred ranches and farms.
Mark this prediction San Angelo
is tho coming metropolis of tho
groat middle West.
As to outertainmeut wo had it
iu ii delightfully assorted variety
rides on tho Concho iu a gaso-
line launch and row boats; a leap
by local talont from tho top of an
iron bridge 100 feot to tho water
below; broncho IniBting by
Boogor Red nn eminent local
horseman ; an exhibition by Met-
calfe's trained mules; and last
but by no manner of means least
a dinnor in comparison with
which all tho table do botes of
Dolinouico would taste liko coag-
uluted moonshino In the court
liouso this repast was spread and
served by women us protty ub
ever a western zophyr kissed.
Potatoes beans tomutoes portor
Iioubo veal butter buttormilk
pios cukes ico cream corn broad
biscuits chicken turkey mutton
kid preserves eggs buttercakes
gravy otc etc.
The coiu'thoiiBO is enshrinod in
an exquisito park of treos and
grass hand planted with hedgo-
liound walks making a dolightful
rotreat in happy contrast with
what we oxpectod to find in buu-
burnt San Angelo.

section and owns the lako tho
bouts the trained mules furnish-
es water power from the lako and

terprises of tho town. Tho court

Expresses Admiration.
St. Petersburg Juno 10 The
text of President Itoosovelt's per-
sonal appeal to the sovereigns of
tho warring countries to urrnngo
mooting of plenipotentiaries for
tho purpose of agreeing on the
terms of peuco which arrived hero
this morning has rent the veil und
to tho skeptics at St Petersburg
who refused to believe that Presi-
dent Itoosovelt's efforts to bring
tho belligerents together could
succeed it came like a bomb
shell. President's Roosevelt's
"sole purpose to bring about a
meeting" has beon achieved und
it now is merely u question
whether the results will bo tho
ponce for "which tho whole civil-
ized world will pray " It is a
diplomatic triumph of the first
magnitude and diplomutB hero
mako no attempt to conceal thoir
admiration of the new world
brand of diplomacy which acts
whilo the remainder of tho world
thinks.

ORIENT SOUTHERN SURVEY
Corps of Surveyors nt Work Hsiao-
llshlnR Routo Toward Sonora
and San Antonio.
Tho Orient surveyors uro nfc
work nour Christovnl. Last
Thursday evening thnv moved
camp from Pecan Creok to a point
about uiie mile north of Christo-
vol Lust Saturday morning they
were at work on tho purvey noar
Chnstovul and by this time have
passed to the smith of that pic-
tuM'sqiiM little city.
The people of Sonoru uro very
enthusiastic over the prospects of
getting this great railway. Should
this road uud another which So-'
norn hopes to get from the EaBt
materialize there is no town in
Texas which will prosont hotter
opportunities for investors and
for business men.
Tho following clipping from tho
Ft. Worth Telegram is of interest
to tho poople of West Toxas :
II. 0. Ilord gonoral nltornov
for tho KnnsuB City Mexico &
Orient Railroad Company hood-
quartors at Sweotwator is in tho
city today returning home from
San Angolo where he Iiub boon
looking after tho lognl ond of tho
Snn Angolo bonus nnd reports nn
additional lino may ronch Snn
Antonio.
Ho says work of construction is
progressing nil along tho lino.
both in the United States and
Moxico. In fact ho says thnt not.
to excood 150 milos aro yot to bo
built m Moxico and that work of
construction iB undor way on three
dmoront divisions. Ho Bays Pres
ident btilwoll has dovotod most of
his energies in pushing tho con-
struction in Moxico in order to
hold the sevornl vulunblo conces
sions granted the company by tho
government of that country.
The grade is completed from
Red River to Wichita Kan. ex
cept about thirty miles nifd of
this distance 100 miles of tho road
is in operation. Tho right of way
Mr. Ilord says from tho north
boundary lino of of Toxas to tho
Mexican gulf has ull been pro-
vided for uud that nctivo con-
struction characterizes tho work
at ovory point of tho routo from
KniiBiis City to Port Stilwoll. Tho
main lino bus beon located via
Sweetwater San Angolo thenco
west to Fort Stockton and Alpino
thonco to Presidio ucrosB tho Mex-
ican border.
Mr. Ilord also BayB that there is
a surveying purty now in the Hold
running a second lino south from
San Angolo through tho counties
of Schleicher Sutton Edwards
and Kinnoy to Spofi'ord on tho
Southern Pacific from which
point it. will cross the border
either at Del Rio or Eagle Pubs.
Mr Ilord Hiiya thut if tho routo
is found to be fensible President
Stilwoll will probably build it on
into San Antonio but on this
point ho is not able to say defi-
nitely. Mr. Ilord says that twonty-one-miles
of tho line north of Sweet-
water is complotod and will soon
bo oporatod through to Sylvester
a town named after W. W. Syl-
vester vice president of tho com-
pany. Tho road south from Sweotwator
toward San Angelo has been
graded thirty milos and work will
bo pushed on through to San An-
gelo a diBtanco of seventy-flvo
miles tho citizens of thnt plnco
having complied with tho domauds
of the Orient in tho wayot bonus.
Tho construction of tho lino in
this state will bo continued unin-
terrupted nccording to Mr. Hord
all tho arrangements for complet-
ing tho line within the next two
years possibly less time having
