LAREDO AS SHE IS.
A Citv Destined to be a Metropolis—
What a Ride Around the
Country Reveals.
Laredo does not impress the man
who arrives by rail spends a few days
rambling through the narrow streets
inspects the adobe dwellings and the
jacals ot the citizens and departs on
the next train. He goes away with
the idea that Laredo is a Hat town a
level sand bed above the Rio Grande
without any natural charms. No
greater mistake could be made. Let
him take a carriage and cross the new
bridge which now spans the Arroya
Zacata and drive out over the eastern
section of tiie city where in days to
come its priucipal residences and
some of its west business are destined
tn be and a change will come over the
spirit of his dream. Let him follow
the road winding up and out to the ter-
minus of the street car line nowunder
construction out Sycamore street say
to the intersection of Kearney
street and he will find himself on one
of the most sightly spots imaginable.
To the north stretches the Rio Grande
its waters plainly in view. Across
its dividing waters thecity of Nuevo
Laredo is laid out as a map and
in the distance some 70 miles
away the Lampasas range shows
dark and distinct against the deep
blue of the vault beyond. On this
side the Rio Grande the undulations
of the ground lead down to the level
on which the old city ’is built across
the green slopes to where the concen-
trating works aud railroad shops give
evidence of what Laredo is prepaiing
to do this winter in the way of indus-
trial movement down to where the
Rio Grande takes its great sweep to
the south and passes down to the
gulf between its" red banks. Every
root of these natural heights is cov-
ered with a good soil and the years to
come will see these beautiful sites
covered with charming cottages and
villas. The Light acknowledges its
obligations to a friend in Laredo
whose modesty desires his name
witheld for a drive over the city
along the proposed street railway
line o\ er to Fort Mclntosh dov n by
the railway shops over tiie heights
as well as through the business por-
tion of the streets. The extent of the
city itself is underestimated until
one drives through it aud then from
some outlying right a mile or so
away ftom its center overlooks the
whole. Nature has provided well for
the future city and her people seem
alive to supplement what nature has
done. Substantial structures are ri s-
iug everywhere both for business
and residence purposes. Street im-
provements are being everywhere
pushed. The electric street car line
will be running out two miles from
the heart of the city before ninety
'lays and all along its lines are eligi-
ble and desirable residence proper-
ties. These all lie to the east aud
face the south - thus affording the
most delightful summer breezes and
giving a rush of uncontaminated air
fresh from tiie open gulf.
The railway shops have taken form.
The roof of the immense roundhouse
is ready for its coat of gravel and the
walls of two other immense buildings
are up. It is only a question of a day
o' - two and foundry matters will be
adjusted and and a large foundry
building will be contracted for. Evi-
dences of increasing activity are seen
on every hand and there is no more
question that Laredo lias shaken ofl
the sleep of generations than that she
's todoy the most promising center
for investment that southern Texas
offers. The town is filling up with
young live energetic business men.
They have come to stay and build the
city which in another generation will
• •ount its hundreds of thousands of
people as a monument to the foresight
and business brains of todav.
