De Zavala, the FIRST vice president OF the
Republic Of Texas.
The hundreds OF tourists who visit the
Alamo In this city probably do not know
that it is one OF the oldest OF the missions.
They think OF It only as the scene OF that
most glorious struggle In which Crockett
and Bowie and their little band OF heroic
comrades were slaughtered by the Next
cans under Santa Anna.
When Miss Helen Gould visited San An
tonic last spring she was much interested
in the missions, though their dilapldated
condition was shock 20 her. She contrib
uated handsomely To the fund for their
preservation and promised 20 interest her
friends in the same cause.

"The Oldest Of the missions, San Antonio
De Valero, was built first near the San
Pedro springs, probably in the park Of that
name in this city, but was afterward re-
built In 1874 on the present location, Alamo
plaza, and Is now called the Alamo.
The building in this, as IN all of the
other missions consisted OF convent. prison
and church, surrounded by square. This
Alamo seems to have had a stone wall
three feet wide and eight feet high, which
was lacking in the others.
The water IS supplied by two nqueducts,
one flowing by the eastern wall and an
other by the southwest corner Of the main
plaza, The reason given for changing the
name to Alamo is involved in doubt. Alamo,
the Spanish for cottonwood, was bestowed
by proper authority and must have been
suggested by the cottonwood trees which

Jasper Banks, a new membe

Jasper Banks, new member
of the Virginia legislature, weighs
800 pounds, and sits in a huge
chair no seat in the legislative
hall being large enough for him.
Banks had never been out Of his
mountain country until he went
to the meeting Of the Legislature,
had never seen a street car, worn
a collar or been on a train. 1t is
safe to say Banks is having a
high time in Richmond these
days.
