It's 60 miles from Fort Stockton
»<> Alpine—and did you imagine
that there was that much of a
stretch of highway left in the
L’nitea States that doesn’t have a
■angle filling station?
You pass close to the spot at
which the Confederate veteran,
Powe, was killed in a dispute about
a steer at a roundup. This animal,
because he had cost a human life,
was branded “M-U-R-D-E-R-” and
then turned loose to roam. Men
said that other cattle seemed to
shun the creature. Short stories
and ballads have been written
about the “murder steer.”
...
Cas Edwards lives in Alpine. He ,
knows the stories about the peaks
and caves of that region. He used j
to play baseball and he’s the busi- j
ness manager of the semi-pro club
which has a beautiful park, with
a fence of native rock. It would ;
be pretty hard to watch one of
their games through a knot-hole, 1
wouldn’t it?
Years ago Edwards devised a
helicopter. Also he experimented
with a device to heat a house with
the rays of the sun. And he writes
verse—in fact, he published a ;
book of good Western rhymes a ]
couple of years back, published j
the book himself—1,600 copies,1
and sold them all. And that’s
mighty good.
In fact, it’s like the little boy j
who was asked, “How much is i
10 times 9?” and he said, “Ninety",
and the teacher declared, “That’s
good." The boy said, “Good, h—;
it’s perfect!”

I once met a man who was rated
as worth $7,000,000. When we met
again, he shook hands and smiled.
Afterward, a mutual acquaintance
said, “He likes you; that was
mighty cordial for him."
Reckon a fellow who has $7,000,-
000 has to be on his guard all the
time to keep somebody from “get-
ting to him” for a chunk of cash.
A millionaire can never be sure
that he is liked for himself and
not for his money. That must
