FINDING OUT ABOUT TEXAS.

In an article on the greatness OF
America the New York Journal
pays the following tribute to Texas:
Lay Texas on the face of Eu-
rope, and this giant, with his head
resting on the mountains of Nor
way, with one palm covering Lon
don, the other Warsaw, would
stretch himself down across the
kingdom of Denmark, across the
empires Of Germany and Austria,
across Northern Italy, aud lave his
feet in the Mediterranean"
Thus accurately and POLITICALLY
the Rev. Josiah Strong describes
the great State Of Texas.
Every American is part owner
of the nation of which Texas is one
feature.
If the State Of Texas were a.
densely populated as Is England
today it would contain over one
hundred and thirty millions of
people. 1t could easily feed all
these.
If cultivated only reasonably
well, and with our present limited,
primitive and ver.changing agri-
cultural processes, that single state
conld feed double the present pop.
ulation Of tbs United States. After
feeding all of these people on $50,
600 square miles of its agricultural
lands, it could furnish the worlds
entire supply of cotton, or double
that supply if necessary, and in
addition it would have cattle
ranges, public parks and unused
lands thoroughly fertile exceeding
in area the territory Of the State Of
New York. All Of this without
taking account of $4,000 square
miles of inferior lands now looked
upon as deserts, but undoubtedly
reclaimable.
And all this without taking &C.
count Of the untold wealth that
lies beneath the surface Of mighty
Texas. Stored up for hundreds OF
centuries, there lies under Texas
ground oil to heat and light the
whole world; power to bring to her
the half thousand million human
beings who will live some day
upon her bounty.

the suggestion has been offered
that perhaps other communities in
