The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1882-09-01

our railroad system is simply in its infancy,
the building and development have just
commenced. Itismore than likely that..we
will have 5000 or 10000 miles in operation
in this state by 1890. We have, therefore,
by reason OF its importance, dwelt upon the
subject at much length in our accounts Of
the roads. We have attempted to give a
faithful account Of each of the lines from
which data could be obtained, but owing 10
negligence on the part of offlcialj OF some { +
the roads who were solicited to furnish us
with such data as were desired, some are
not treated as fully as their prominence
and importance would seem to demand.
What is given will be found invaluable to
the immigrant and stranger in selecting
routes to their destination as wen as 10
numbers Of citizens Of the state who have
failed to keep up with the march of the day.
CONCLUSION.
Many other facts Of interest with refer
ence TO the state will be found in the pres.
ent edition, which want of space here for
bids us calling attention to. Such items re-
ferred to are the raising of cattle and cot
ton, the two great industries of the state, e.,
together with other productions; descrip-
ton of the various grand divisions of tie
state with their peculiar features and pro.
ducts, an interesting account Of the new
capitol building and other matters contain
ing usefu! information as TO Texas. Several
OF the larger towns have been presented
more fully than the majority OF those writ
en- up, owing to their erca. O0inmelcial
importance, railroad connections aud rapid
growth. Among these Dallas, as the en-
trepot from the north TO the state, the dis.
tributing point both for freight and pas.
