THE BUZZ WAGON in TEXAS.
Several Automobile Lines in Opera
ton Near San Antonio.

tiOn Near san ANTONIO.
San Antonio, Texas, April A.
Southwest Texas, no longer wild and
woody has taken up the automobile
and is using it in more varied ways
than any other section of this coun-
try. Automobile lines in lieu of in
terurban roads are being run at
three or four places in this section,
the longest being from Garlic
Springs to Cotulla, a distance of six
ty miles. and from Ozona to San An
gelo, a distance of one hundred and
fifty miles; automobile lines are also
run from this city to the surround
ing towns, the longest being the line
to Pleasanton about thirty miles.
This city has 100 enthusiastic auto
mobiles united in an active and pro-
gressive club which has become a
powerful factor in the good roads
movement The automobilists have
already secured the building of a
sixteen mile loop passing by the ia
nous old Spanish Missions and have
perfected arrangements for the
building of a forty-eight mile loop
to the government reservation in the
mountains to the north which pass
es through beautiful and pictures
que country. Another twenty-six
mile loop is under consideration. AL
ready this county has 1875 miles of
automobile roads.
These good roads coupled with a
mild, sunny winter has attracted a
great many automobilists to San An
tonic this winter from other states.
twenty-five big touring cars have
wintered in this city; of these the
most prominent has been George
Pierce, the automobil manufacture
er of Buffalo, whose big six-cylinder
is a familiar sight on the streets. H.
NJ. Stevenson, a capitalist of Chica-
60 is also here with a magnificent
touring car made especially to or
der; it is one of the finest automo-
biles ever seen in the Southwest. n.
R. Patten, of Rochester, New York,
has lately come here from Florida,
where he attended the Ormond-Day-
tonia races. Among the others are
Mayor Campbell Of Denver, Colora
do, T. c. Pierce of Buffalo, w. w.
Shaw of Chicago and E. B. Dane of
Boston.
The latest use of the automobile
is a hare and hound chase~h ma
chimes which will take place in
few days at the ranch of j. M. Mix
near this city. This is a very large
ranch in the smooth, undulating
country with only a few clumps of
trees: its broad, grassy ridges will
make an ideal place for this auto
mobile game.
The surrounding towns have
caught the enthusiasm and have a
number of automobile owners. The
little town of Uvalde, ninety miles
to the west, has an automobile club
with a membership of fifty and is
making specially of mountain
climbing in automobiles.
An automobile map of the sur
rounding country is being prepared
to insure the conditions of all the
roads and bridges. BY next winter
when the new road projects are COM
pleted, it is expected that San An
tonic will be the automobile center
of the Southwest.

THE REAL CHAUTAUQUA.
WaXahachie Chautauqua The Only
One Run on Original Plan.

! Last year the people in some local
tiles We're led to believe that the So
/ called chautauquas scattered about
| over the country were as much chau-
tauquas as the institution at Waxa-
! / ACHE by chat name. But observa-
ton and experiecne have shown the
!-trnthfulness of the oft repeated
statement that the Waxahachie
Chautauqua was the only one in the
state that was run on the original
chautauqua plan. The management
have never yielded to any tempta
ton to cheaper the program. or OPP
crate it on any other plan but the
true chautauqua plan. 1t has been
proven time and time again that this
chautauqua was not a money making
institution, but was operated for the
good of the public, and that its man
agement were the servants of the
people, and that their slightest am
bition was to help the people. The
clientele of the Waxahachie Chau-
tauqua will testify to two things:
the price of the tickets has been
kept down within the reach of the
most slender purse and ticket hold
ers have from year to year heard the
the American platform.
With firm convictions in the use
fulness of the institution, as an edu-
cational and social influence, and
with strong faith in the people to
appreciate and appropriate the
blessings the chautauqua offers, the
management has planned this year
