DALLAS.
He who supposes that Dallas, because she
IL less vociierous in blowing her own horn
than some other cities, IL laggard In enter
prise or has reached her full stature, lis
simply deceived. No city In Texas Is
making more rap i'd strides in material ad-
vancement. and 1t II questionable whether
any one Of hsr noble rivsls are keeping
pace with her: She 70 now enjoying .
mer season, and her proserlty is 80 well
assured that her capitalists have
no fear OF building beyond the demand for
stores and residences. Nearly 100 busi'
ness houses are In building, all OF brick or
stone, while the number Of residences be-
ing erected more than doubles that figure.
The aggregate cost Of the work In progress
road facilities are extensive, and her trade
10 immense, but the former are considered
inadequate to the continual growth Of the
latter, and in due ti she Will stretch
other thrifty sections. She II already 9

the guests were made to feel that they were

knew their power. Refreshments, hotels,

rendered without price and enjoyed with
out ostentation or excess: but that which
was most appreciated was contact with
