 In the census table of 1910 San Antonio came near the 100000 mark, but missed it by few thousand. Texas is a rapidly growing state. Houston will probably have popula- tion of a hundred and thirty or hundred and forty thousand; San Antonio with a hundred and forty to a hundred and fifty thousand.
 Dallas is not only very solid com mercial city, but is one of rare beauty. Hearty congratulations on its fine |census showing.
