L
Col. B. F. Yoakum has built more
miles of railroad in Texas than any
other living man during the past ten
years.
Mr.. Yoakum was born in Limestone
county, Texas. Like nearly all big
railroad men he mastered his profes.
sion from the bottom up. He begun
his railroad experience as laborer
on a construction gang of the Inter
national & Great Northern between
Jacksonville and Palestine and reach
ed the top rung in railroad manage
ment in 1906 when he was elected
chairman of the executive committee
of the Rock Island and Frisco lines
and directed the affairs Of 1900 miles
of railroad-the greatest aggregate
mileage under any single control in
the world.
1t was Mr.. Yoakum's early ambi-
ton to span the prairies of Texas
with railroads and in the beginning OF
his career he mapped out compre-
hensiye system OF 500 miles of rail-
road needed in Texas, which he Sc
cretly determined to build, and he has
constructed over 1900 miles, but at
the close of the Thirty-second legisla-
ture announced that he had grown
weary of the task and would soon re-
tire from construction work. Legisla-
ton inimical to railroad investments
and public sentiment hostile to the
railroad industry are said to be the
reasons assigned for his retirement
from the field.

their state. From the standpoint OF
undeveloped resources Texas Is a erf-

the outlook is brighter for Texas than
ever before in Its history. Building
operations are programmed on larger
scale than ever before and the agri-
cultural and stock raising interests are
enjoying a degree of prosperity never
known before. Texas has been called
the Garden of the Lord by no less
an illustrious American than Theodore

not only finding II out, but they are
coming here to secure land and to builc

by exhibitors is greater than ever be-
fore. In 1911 there were 2236 exhibit
ors. This year the number will be far
in excess OF that Of 1911. The fixed
policy Of the management Is fire-proof

rant building 500x44 feet has been
erected. 1t is fire-proof, modern In all
of its appointments and from san
itary viewpoint II Is unexcelled. This

beautiful on the grounds. A modern

been built for demonstration purposes
and Is certain 10 attract the undivided
attention OF farmers and stock men
An addition Of 100 feet has been added
to the dairy demonstration building
ami the new cattle and swine barns
are perfect from every view point. The
cafe building Is the largest and most
modern permanent building Of its kind
on any exposition grounds in the world.
and the woman's rest building Is pro-
vided with every modern convenience
for the comfort OF ladies and children.
A complete panorama OF the state in

ton can be seen at the annual fair and
exposition this fall.
President J. j. Eckford and Secre-
tary W. II. Stratton and large force
OF employees, are devoting all their
time to the details and preliminaries
for the coming fair. The grounds are
In splendid shape and condition. In
fact, the Fair Park today is one Of the

which cost with the grounds more than
