Index to Prosperity.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. Ia
AS an index to the tremendous

tional banks with aggregate resour-
ces of $97,763 ,442.03: In 1910 the
number of national banks had IN
creased to $40 with aggregate re-
sources of $3.50 .999,904 In thar
same period of time, the value OF
farm crops increased 100 per cent;
while the population was augmented
by 27.S per cent In the five years
from 1904 to 1909, the value oil
manufactured goods in Texas rose
so per cent When in conjunction
with the above facts II Is remember
ed that in Texas there are only rs,
035. 600 acres of cultivated land as
against 141,372, $50 acres of land
still untouched by the plow--an
area exceeding the total number OF

THE HISTORIC ALAMO
Is TO BE PRESERVED.
The State Authorities are Planning
to Restore the Buildings.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 10
That the historic Alamo shall ever
continue the shrine of liberty in
Texas is now an assured fact. In
and about this building on the 9th
of March, 1896, the question OF Tex
as independence was debated in
most emphatic way between an ar
my under Santa Anna and a mere
handful of men under the direction
of William Travis, David Crockett,
and James Bowie, who stood to the
last man for Texas independence.
For years this historic building has
been buffeted about by the demands
of commercialism. Some years ago,
however, the patriotic spirit in Tex
as asserted itself and the Daughters
of the Republic of Texas purchased
all interest in the buildings and ad-
jacent grounds and recently turned
these over TO the state. The state
authorities are now active in restor-
( ing the buildings and making them
/ a monument of Texas liberty. While
/ the Alamo is situated in San Anton
\ 10, the entire state is interested in
the preservation of this historic
structure. Within these walls as
great heroism was displayed as that
of Leonidas at Thermopolyae. Fol
these reasons the authorities are be
ing heartily seconded in their eff
forts at preserving this famous lane
mark in Texas history
