COWBOY LUNCH
An open air cowboy lunch,n warm
from the s'chuck wagons was served
on the front lawn of the Carnegie IL
brary.
An hours auto trip convinced US
that Temple is an enterprising city OF
10, 900 population, surrounded by as
fair a land and as prosperous a people
as may be found in Uncle Sans broad
domain.
The rolling prairie of black land, fine
farm houses and herds Of blooded
stock presented the picture of Iowa
and Illinois reproduced in Dixie.
The main crops are corn, cotton,
wheat. oats. potatoes, livestock, espe-
cially fine poultry and many fruits.
The soil is a deep black, waxy loan,
unexcelled anywhere. Nature was at
her best; roses were In bloom; farmers
were blowing corn, oats were matur-
ing, wheat was heading out, and the
season was we'll advanced.
In the very heart OF this favored
black land region lies Temple.
A prominent item of interest to the
Editorial Association was the Temple
Daily Telegram, a wide-awake daily
with a large three.deck straight line
Goss press that has a capacity of 20, 900
l2-page papers per hour, q full associ-
ated press news service, u~p-to-date
stereotyping department, and a gener-
al equipment that would grace a city
OF 10000.
Temple has installed q complete
mechanical filtration plant for it's
water system, which has a capacity Of
two million gallons in twenty-four
hours, and which was the fret me-
chanical filtration plant in the state.
Another point of interest was the state
experiment farm. Temple was the
father of the experiment farm inTexas.
With It's hundred miles Of concrete
walks, a street railway, the best Of
paved streets, imposing public and
business buildings, commodious and
well-kept residences, the finest Of pub
lie schools, churches Of all denomina-
tions, many miles Of picturesque
shaded streets, new projects for more
miles Of pavement, this young giant is
only beginning to feel her strength
and has been well styled s'the city OF
opportunities"
Temple lie the division headquarters OF
the largest division of the Santa Fe
railway. Stretching far to the west,
$50 miles from Temple, lie a branch OF
the Santa Fe railroad that makes
1900 square miles Of rich developing
trade and farming territory, tributary
to Temple as q trade center. This ter
ritory alone is equal to one-fourth Of
the area Of the whole state Of Ohio.
Thus, the city Is apparently well
borne out in its movement for more
manufacturing plants. The very best
OF railroad facilities, a fine home
market that will absorb a large pro-
