ton and Texas Central railroads. IL Is
II little south of the 33d degree Of north
latitude, is 3l5 miles by rail from the
Gulf const, and Is seventy miles nom
border of the Indian Territory. The
first white settler on the site Of the
present city was John Nicely Bryan
who built his little log cabin on the
Trinity, near to where the iroE bridge
now spans the river, in the lall OF
1911. Having secured from the State
q patent for narrow strip Of land
along the river, he laid it of lnlo Il
town and invited settlers, with the
promise Of u lot 10 build on. Soon u
village began to spring up IN the VII
derness, and in 1916 the county Of Dial
las was organized, and then u small
village Of the same name was made
the county seat. The growth Of the
place was slow, and until the year 1877
II consisted of dozen or fifteen busl-
ness houses gathered around the public
square, with corresponding number
of dwelling houses on We streets I'M
mediately adjacent thereto. On thp
completion Of the Houston aud Texas
Central Railroad 10 this place in the
fan of the last named year, IL mighty
change suddenly came over the town.
Thousands OF people ilocked in nom
every quarter, and the late forest was
transformed into The home OF industry
and enterprise. Since that date tho
city has continued steadily to increase
aud improve, until Row in point Of
incubation il ranks the second in the
State, and I'm poiut of business activity
aud trade. Il stands without a rival.
The wonderful urosperity thnt has
marked the course Of DALLAS is due, TO
n certain extent, To the uuparalieled
of the location. Itsmor.
tuary list will compare layorably with
that of any city in the United States.
