BEAUTY AND RICHES IN TEXAS.
Great State in Itself a Magnificent
Empire

Empire.
The new Granite State of Texas
whose magnitude of granite deposits
probably outrank those of any other
state. 1t could with equal fitness be
styled the foremost cattle state; and
judging from it's famous undeveloped
iron ores, it may become a center of
metallurgy. With but a fraction of
its acres devoted to grain, it produces
nearly 20O,00O,00O bushels a year of
wheat, corn and other grains. On 49,
100000 acres it is annually growing
nearly $300,000,000 worth of agricul-
tural products. Texas is an empire
with less than one-tenth of its area I'M
der cultivation-a fraction so small
that it might be cut off one side the
state without being missed from the
other; with population of 5000, 900,
and easily able to support $4,000. 900,
with variety of soils suitable for ev-
cry crop from that of the tropics to
that of the higher attitudes of the
ers yet unutilized; with wealth of
mineral resources defying description,
a beauty of mountain scenery un-
known and unappreciated by the world
at large, and a charm of climate I'M
surpassed in the United States, vary
ing from cold regions like the north
west to sunny areas where roses
bloom throughout the winter-Chi-

spruce and pine ties are cut and re-

stand of young timber which in few
years will be of mechantable dimen-

the pursuance of a policy of protec-

preventing the raids of thieves and

Evolution of Tools Slow.
