The Cotton Belt i'll Dallas.

On August 1st, the Cotton Belt will secure an entrance into Dal- las.
 For a number of years this great railway system has run it's passenger trains almost by "the gates of Dallas" so to speak, but never heretofore made an entrance into the city.
 This will no longer be-, for the trains of this popular line will now run into the very heart of Dallas, and into the handsomes passenger depot in Texas. A trackage arrangement has been made with the Santa Fe, whereby the Cotton Belt will operate It's own trains into Dallas over the tracks of the latter line. This is a big move, both for Dallas and the cotton Belt. It will give the former another large railroad sys- tenn, and the latter an entrance into the metropolis of north Texas. Besides, it will place the Cotton Belt in much better position to secure Texas business, securing for it, as it does, the shortest and quickest line to Dallas, and ena- bling it to make direct connections with all of the roads leading from Dallas.
 With the inauguration of its new line into Dallas, the Cotton Belt will operate through Pullman Buffet Sleeper service between Memphis and Galveston, via Dal- las and the Santa Fe. This will give Cotton Belt through car ser vice to Alvarado, Cleburn, Temple, Cameron, Cardwell, Brenham, Rosenberg, Galveston and many intermediate points, in addition to it's already splendid service to Dallas, Fort Worth, Greenville, Tyler, Corsicana and Waco. With it's new and increasing facilities for handling business, the Cotton Belt will easily maintain it's pres ent reputation of being the favor ite line to Texas.
