public and for the next two weeks following
Hundreds of thousands of visitors will be in
Dallas. OF all the vast crowds that will visit
the fair, in all probability thousands have heard
and read OF Oak Cliff, and many are undoubt-
edly OF the opinion that much which mas been
said of this beautiful city is eSaggeralion. To
sui as hold to this opinion, We would say:
When you get to Dallas take the elevated rail-
road at the foot OF Main. street and visit Oak
Cliff and see for yourself If, with all that has
been said, the half OF he truth has been told.
Leaving the foot of Main street on the elevated
train, you first pass over the Trinity river bot
toms on the most substantially built trestle in
the state. After passing over fhe trestle for q
mile, the train rolls gracefully on to high en-
bankufsnt road-bed that is eptiie rock ballast,
free frole dust. and the trackas level as g floor.
From he bottom Ands the train

Residences that cost thousandS ppon thousands

school houses and business bloeks are seen on
every hand as the tram speeds y way back to
Dallas. &
Again the bluffs are reached ant descent
made to the river bottoms. A short run and
