The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1881-05-29

what the city mas bone In This LiGs
during This Year.

Dallas that the city for the past six months
or more has tskeD rapid strides forward in the
way Of substantial Improvements as well as in
business The railroad boom that has come
upon the state, especially north Texas, is of
course the immediate cause of this. As
the Texas Il Pacific road progresses westward
II opens up new fields of traao naturally
tributary to Dallas and that is coming here
BY reason of the superior facilities and mar.
kets offered by our city over any other point
in all the -egioD. The work on the Missouri
Pacific southwestwsrd, on the Dallas &
Wichita to the northwest, on
the Texas Trunk line to the south
east and on the Chicago, Texas
& Mexican Central both to the north
cas-. and southwest has had its effect too
ard ID Has to day is feeling 1t in way that
is air ady beginning to bear fruit. The fact
is that Dallas is the grea. railroad center of
north Texas. It's tho natural entrepot and
trading point of all north Texas, as boun,i-
full "a country in its products as ever blessed
the industry OF man. The future of
our city is grand and msgnih
clint TO contemplate. 1t is the
gateway for the traffic and commerce of al
most an empire. In ten years the trade of
two millions of people will tlnd its way here.
This city will DO the mighty emporium for
the sale Of the cotton, the grain and the
various other products Of section of coun.
try at least two hundred miles bv six hun
bred miles in extent; section of count Y
that every month is increasing in population,
increasing in Its products and
increasing in its demands for goods,
merchandise, and wares of every kind, quail
ity ard description. All around US the vii
lagos ADD towns already in existence, with
myriads others will prosper and thrive, and
IS they prosper aud thrive so will Dallas, for
Dallas will be the central point for their
trade and business. Nature has ordair ed
this by reason of the central and accessible
situation of the city and these natural ad-
vantages have been increased and made
the more available by the
railroads centering here and by the energy
and enterprise of our business men. Capital
is being expended here and more capital is
coming for investment. When another CEN
sus is taken mighty chsnges will have been
wrought, and if the man living here now was
to suddaaly fall into Rip Van Wrinkle
slumber snd not awake for ten years, he
would think that no was in some Utopisn
metropolis, some enchanted city, some fairy,
at all the sights that would greet his vision,
at the great manufacturing industries util,
izing the waters of one river, at tho vast bus
mess, buildings, warehouses, elevators, cot
ton congresses, tho electric lights paved
Streets palatal residences, splendid railroad
depots, the continuous going and coming of
heavily laden trains and the stir and hustle
and rush of business. THE is but fsin.
picture of the Dallas Of ten years hence, and
to know that our city is now tending
that way, is now climbisg
the hill with drm and certsin steps and long
strides, We have but to look shout us and see
tho evidences on hand. There is, there can
be 10 surer sign Of cily's advsucoment and
prosperity than to see lis business and
dwelling houses all filed. its hotels doing q
good business, while new houses of all kinds
are going up on every hand, and the demand
for more still increasing. Such is the case in
Dallas to-day. The sound Of the saw ard
the hammer and the ring Of the msson's
trowel Can be heard in every part of the
city. Skilled mechanical labor is in demand,
wages for such work is up; the lumber dealers
are striving for more transportation; the plain.
ing mills are behind with orders; the brickS
makers are rsshiug day and night with
machinery and by hand 10 furnish supple,
for waiting customers.
