as the eye can reach to the west is the
richest and most beautiful valley in
Texas. One might travel thousands of
miles of those sections of the country
nothing TO compare to this.
Not only Is the view to
the west grand, but to the
south, also, where stretched out at the
foot of the gently rising ground lies
another beautiful valley that adjoining
Fort Worth Immediately on the north.
In this valley may be seen the trains of
the ST. Louis, Arkansas and Texas COM
ing and going, skirting the river S bank
and pulling away to the northeast. In
the distance, and not far away, either,
is seen Fort Worth on a hill, but nots
quite as high as the ground from which
the view is obtained. On the east the
trains of the Fort Worth and Denver,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas and Santa
Fe may be seen as they make their way
to the Union depot or the great freight
houses in the city. The gulf breeze fans
