At. ike last moment the itinerary
was ckgel from the original routs
The original route was from Brown-
woofl to May. then to Rising Star
Eastlaa4 Cisco Pioneer Cross Plains.:
back to Rising Star then to Cross Cut
and heme. The revised route led by
; Blanket Comanche DeLeon Carbon
1 and Eastland to Cisco. The day was
. Ideal just enough crisp in the air to
I make it thoroughly invigorating and
just enough sunshine to make the day
'"pleasant and most enjoyable. Along
the roads were great seas of blue-bon-1
inets especially on the sides or hills
and it looked as If the lovely flowers
.sought to cover the rough and uncouth
places by their profusion and beauty.
In many localities the bluebonnets
were so thick on the ground that at a
distance they gare to the landscape
the apearance of placid lakes of blue
water nestling quietly among the
hills. Inviting to rest repose and for-
getfulncss. Along the road from De-
Leon to Eastland in what is known as
the high candy land belt the road
traverses mile after mile.ot country
irewn.with apple orchards now in
bloom .interspersed with pear quince
and peach trees making a picture
nnm Rpn. not to be forgptten in a
long time
' Good Roads Dominant.
r The first stretch of good road notic-
ed by the excursionists was between
Blanket and Comanche and this
stretch was very good compared to
what had been left behind in Brown
county. It appeared to be gravel but
was in good condition without breaks
or holes. This much should be said in j
regard to roads and lands In Brown
. county and roads and lands in East-
land county. The lands of Brown
county are much better than the
lands In Eastland ebunty or that is
the area traversed by the "Good tel-
lowshlp" boosters and there seem to;
be oh every hand an atmosphere of
progress so far as home life is con-
cerned in Brown county that is not
found la Eastland county but when it
comes to good roads and road com-
parison Brown county people have to
go way bad: in the uttermost corner
and sit down lor it is an Indisputable
fact that Eastland county leads all
other sections in good roads. From
DeLeon to Eastland the road is twenty
feet wide apparently and si surfaced
with taroa making it as smooth as
pavement and apparently as endura-
ble as time. The news man did not
learn what the body of the road was
beneath the surface at first hand but
told that it was concrete. For
filet 'and miles In fact all the way
from the city limits of DeLeon to East
land which must be something like
twenty miles the road winds in and
out through lovely scenes through
orchards abloom by happy homes
'school Tiouses and churches but al-
ways food and the auto can go just
as faat as the driver will let it The

tance from DeLeon to Eastland with-
out the slightest jar or bump.
Brict Road in Evidence.
From Ranger to Cisco twenty miles
or more the road is built of brick
which appears to be of the fire proof
variety this road being twenty feet
wide level as a floor and a beauty to
behold. The Bankhead Hightway.
traverses Eastland county east and
west for a distance of. forty miles and
is costing Eastland county $10000 per
mile. The people of Eastland county
have issued bond? to the amount ot
$5000000 and have 40 years In which
to pay.fptf them and on top of this
vast amount of mor.ey State and fed
eral aid amounts to $625000. This is a
big amount; of money and every cent
of it is being spent in Eastland county
Cisco Ranger and Eastland getting
financial and trade benefits as a re-
sult that they could get in no other
way. The brick road irpm Eastland
to Cisco lacks about two miles of be-
ing completed into Cisco and Pet
Brown the famous wrestler who has
the contract informed the Bulletin
man that he would complete the road
within the; next two months There
is no doubt that these roads in East-
land county are of inestimable value
and that all lands touched in any way
or traversed by these good roads has
enhanced and will continue to enhance
in value. Thousands of strangers and
men with money are finding their way
to Eastland and Cisco and after look-
ing" over the situation aie investing
their means in a permantnt way. In
CiscQ .and Eastland the streets are
paved in fi modern way and' in real
city style and the business" houses and
office buildings are up-to-date in all
Tke Cisco 'Dam.
Much has been said and written in
regard to the Cisco dam the big in-
dustrial enterprise that is being in
stalled three miles from Cisco. This
great dam will have to be seen to bo
properly appreciated in its vast pro-
portions and the scope of its industrial
effect upon the locality In which it is
ocated. The dam is being built across
a gorge tne narrowest piace on me
gorge or panyen and is 1200 feet in
length from bank to bank. The dam
is 150 feet wide at the bottom and the
foundation Is laid In an oblong box
or solid rpek practically 150 feet wide
and 1200 feet long and forty feet deep
blasted oiit of the bed of the rugged
old canyon. The entire structure is
built of concrete and reinforced steel
there being several thousands tons of
steel and 47000 cubic yards of con
crete used or will be used in making
this dam. The dam is 120 feet from
dirt line at thebottom to the top and
has a spill-way 200 feet wide in the
center oyjer which the surplus water
will oitch to the ground below and
which will be diverted into manifold
mechanltfal uses. In fact it will con-
tain a vast amount of latent energy
that may be turned to good account for
many industrial purposes such for in-
stance as operating a textile plant or
great electrical plant for general dis-
tribution! of current. When the full
force of then are at work there are 500
and most of them draw good pay be-
cause the work Is special in nature and
carries more or less danger. The con
crete is 'fed into the walls from high
towers tp the top of which It Is first
elevated by machinery and then dis
tributed to the places where needed
by men whose business it Ib to attend
to this particular work. The cost ot
this great industrial enterprise will be
when completed about $1250000 and
most of the money paid out In con-
struction is being expended as stated
in Eastland county. On the bank or
margin pf the great canyon where the
dam is peing built a small town of
tents and shacks has sprung into ex-
istence and restaurants cold drink
stands and other places give to the
location the atmosphere of a busy
town. The dam will impound 30000
acres of water and. will have a shore:
line of fp miles. It will be the larg-
est artificial reservoir in the South-5
west
"Good Fellowship" Atmosphere.
The a$r or atmosphere of good feln
lowshlp was everywhere cultivated by
the Erpwnwood visitors. The first
speaking was at Eastland. The Old
Gray Mare band was given a place of
honor On the courthouse lawn and
when it had rendered several airs
Judge E. A. Hill of the 88th district
court mounted an automobile and de-
livered an Interesting and much ap
preciated address of welcome thank
ing the visitors Cor visiting -Eastland
and promising by anJ by to return the
visit and come to Brownwood. Re

LORE OF GUIDE
FORMER "HISTORIC HOKUM" NO
LONGER GOES WITH . WELL
INFORMED VISITORS.
i(By International News Service.)
LONDON May - t .-The' " British
guides whose tak If i- to pilot the
countless American tourists over tho
places of interest in Ireat Britain
have had to spend their winter in
endless study to it them! for the
task hich lies before -them during
the next few months.
The days are gone when they can
fob off the 'hick" tourist with any
bunk which comes readiest ' to their
lips on any historic snot. In those
happy days any clib catterer who
could hany any sort of talk to get
a few aughs and "wHe" away a few
hours was considered the ideal guide
But things have changed. The aver-
age American visitor to England
knowu far "more historically about
certain places than the native.
New Variety of Galfle.
A new variety" of ulde has been
produced. He
is scholarand . a
ifnat'nYoreInY-
gentleman and
portant. he Is thoroughly well ac-
quainted with his job. Such is
Captain Frank Willard the guide-
lecturer to Frames Tours in Creat
Britain.
To International News Correspon-
dent he paid a tribute .to the racy
humor of the average American tour-
ist and his thoroughness in geeting
Is and lu's thoroughness in getting
to tho facts.
"Once whei I wag relating the
story of tho beheading of Simon
Frascr (Lord Lovat) on Tower Hill"
said Captain Willard "I said that
that unfortunate gentleman was the
last to suffer from the ax in the
Tpwer and nne pf the party pf
Americans whispered to me: 'Say.
that was a chop that was never di-
gested! Sincerely Seek Truth.
"But what impresses m most is
the earnestness which rrJost of the
Americans show in quest of infor-
mation1 regarding certain spots f
historical interest. Their reverence
for such places as the Royal Chapel
of St oJhn in the White Tower; St
Peter-ad-Vincula on Tower Green
Westminster Abbey; tho "tomb of
Shakespeare and such places con-
vinces mo of tho deep-seated love the
majority have for their motherland.
"At Stratford-on-Aven 1 have to
careful. Most of the American visi-
tors arc steeped in Shakespearean
love. It is no uncommon thing for
them to quote Teams from tho Bard's
works . .especially the young people.
Again. here and there odd and ap-
propriate lines dealing with the very
spot on which they arc - standing
burst unexpectedly from the lips of
many of the visitors.
At other places like 'Chester it
Is not safe to err in one's dates foi
promptly comes the gentle correc-
tion. The knowledgA possessed by
most American visitors would put
many Englishmen to blush."

Introduction of' the bill -which
Seeks to prohRut the sale of milki1
which has been treated so as to show
a greater amount of cream than it
actually contains resulted from rei
ports that one dairy in each of tho
larger cities of the state has obtainr-
ed the right to use the process ac-
cording to Representative D. S.
Davenport ot San Antoio author ot
the measure. .
The cream and butter fat is ex-
tracted from the milk treated and
then remixed Davenport said it was
reported to him. The resul.t is thii
the cream line is much larger and
customers are urged to purchase the
milk for that reason. ;j
The Davenport bill specifically
prohibits the sale or pftering fpr sale
under penalty of milk which has been
thus treated. A similar bill was ot
fered in the senate by Sonatpr
