REALTY VALUES.

Realestate is as firm as the Rock
of Gibralter. Prices have risen
steadily during the past eleven
years, commensurate with the
growth and upbuilding of the city.
This increase is not fictitious, but
of a Legitimate character. Owing
to the fact that San Antonio has
entered upon an era of manufac-
turing, call has been made for
lots by labOring people for the pur-
pose of erecting houses. Large i'm
prOVementS have been made, and
when we say that fair and honest
prices govern the market, we but
state an absolute truth. Ground
runs from $500 to 81, cooper foot, and
is worth every cent of these
Our electric lines have
brought the resident portions in
close connection with the business
portion, and this fact, coupled with
numerous others, renders San An
tonic property magnificent in
both resident and bust
ness. The market has an upward
tendency.

SAN ANTONIO

With her commercial advan-
tageS must increase her industries.
The wonderful prosperity of the
past, resulting from prudent bust
ness pursuits, or the gradual accu-
mutation of wealth by loans of
money at interest on collarterals
or real estate, will not develop in
dustrial progress if kept in the old
ruts. We must create and diVerge
from the beaten track of mercantile
pursuit into the channel of diversi-
fled manufacturing industries.
We have most prolific soil,
which yield the finest fruits and
varied products for which there is
sale everywhere, when put up
properly for commercial use.
In the districts having coal and
iron the people must rely on other
sections for their raw cotton and
other materials. While mindful of
the fact that coal and iron act as
powerful magnateS in attracting an
industrial population, and form
the basis of success in manufacture
ing operations, when these can be
cheaply and abundantly supplied,
it is also true, and it may be cited
in contradiction and exception to
this rule, the New England mills
and factories have been erected on
sites possessing abundant of water
power, but no coal.
If the people of New England
can grow wealthy and independent
by transporting the raw material
thousands of miles, why could we
not become equally as wealthy and

CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
San Antonio has number of
these institutions, among which

others. These institutions do a
great deal of good and should be
fostered and aided by our people.
COMMERCIAL CLUB.
San Antonio has a fine CONNER
cial Club, among whose members
are found capitalists, bankers, mer-
chants and manufacturers. Their
work has been constant in one pur-
pOSe-to establish San Antonio up
on a basis of manufacturing. They
have succeeded and today our city
owes much of its prosperity to this
splendid institution. The club
occupies handsome quarters in a
building on Houston
street. The officers are men of in

ways been to the front when San

INDUCEMENTS.
The development of our great
body Of waste lands lying between
San Antonio and the Rio Grande, a
region ample enough for a new
ctate, now but sparsely populated,
is temptation not long to be neg
lected. Here can be duplicated
the gardens and orchards of South
ern California, with the advantage
of nearer markets for early products.
Land that today can be bought for
from 81 to SIS per acre, can be
made worth from 500 to $500 per
acre. We have the fertile SOLVE

to bring the artesian flow to the sur

POLICE DEPARTMENT.

The police force of San Antonio
numbers about fifty men, rank and

sanitary inspecting. The commu
nifty is orderly and law abiding
enough, but it is liberal in its in

Sunday law is not stringently en-
forced, yet in a glance at the conrt
docket it will be found that the
morals of this city compares favor
ably, if not better, than that of any
other of like size and population
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

to of our fire department, the best

Nothing more need be said than
that it is highly creditable to the
city, and the losses in San Antonio
compare favorable with those of any
other city of her size. Four steam
engines, six hose carts, two hook
and ladder trucks, twenty five
horses, sixty6ve regularly paid

POPULATION.

Today San Antonio has popula
ton of 90, 900 souls, thus making
it the largest city in the state. The
character of the population is thor,
oughly cosmopolitan, the larger
percentage being Caucasian, with a
mixture of Mexican, Negro and
Monaghan. Many nationalities are
represented, and many tongues are
spoken. There remains a respect
able remnant of the old Mexican
population, which gives the town
in certain quarters, the appearance
of the old regime.
TAXABLE VALUES

II what is chronicled below is true
it illustrates the theory Of self-pro.
lection from a financial stand point in
q very excellent manner:
Sioux Falls Press: A. b. Anderson.
son OF Redtield believed himself to be
on Taylor's bond for $25, OOO-and then
found out he wasn't, and was glad Of
it. Going on a bond for 425, 900 seems
to be a thing OF such small concern
that some men forget whether thew
have done 1t or not.
Watertown Public Opinion: Mr..
Anderson is a furniture dealer who
has amassed a great many thousands
of dollars since he went to Redfield
twelve to fifteen years ago. Over the
main entrance to his furniture empor-
ium a sign, in bold letters, read like
this when the Anderson family retired
to rest on Tuesday night, January 8,
1895: "A. B. Anderson, Furniture
Dealer Mr.. Anderson scented
trouble approaching like a theft in the
night. He never sleeps when he
scents danger-and he thought he waa
on Taylor's bond. When the inhabi-
tants awoke Wednesday morning,
January 9, 1896, the great sign was
still reckoning them to enter-but, az
the story goes, it read like this: sTilda
Anderson, Furniture Dealer" Per.
haps it may be unnecessary to state
that Tilda is the name Of his wife.

The treasurer Of Douglas county be-
lieved that back personal taxes were a
lien on the land owned by the person
against whom the personal tax was
leived. He accordingly advertised
several pieces for sale for the back per-
sonal taxes. The land had passed into
the hands of mortgage company. The
company secured a temporary ~injunc-
ton from Judge Smith, who has re-
Gently made the Injunction permanent.
In this connection the Armour Tribune
says: THE decision 10 one OF q great
deal Of Importance as every county in

tion a Douglas found herself. It was

The holding Of secret sessions OF the

into the Taylor defalcation is q mis-
take. There Is no reason for s~ecretive-
ness in the matter The public is IN

There is nothing to hold back and the
idea Of closing the doors is as childish
as it is ~senseless. Every republican
who has the interest OF the state at

That's the way we feel down here.
