The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-11-08

In a recent issue Of the Star-Tele-
gram the following article from the
pen of Sieliman Evans, the we'll
known feature writer, gives same val
liable information about our state
that many people do not know about.
He says:
Texas, which is ranged as one Of
the leading states in the development
Of railroads, especially in the north
part of the state, still has vast areas
vet untouched by railroads.. Across
these wide inland stretches the sur
veyor has laid out routes for rail
lines and some surveys have been
followed by the building Of right-of-
way. OF the territory in Texas with
out railroad facilities there is in the
southwestern portion of the state a
vast and wealthy empire.
Within the limits of this inland do
main is a large population the advan-
tages Of modern civilization, produc-
tive soil and these present possible
ties not yet in the beginning Of de-
velopment.
Outline Of Inland Empire.
It is the real Southwest Of the I'M
tied States. Much of it runs to the
Mexican border. Roughly, its boun-
daries begin on the north with the
San Angelo-Alpine division of the
Orient railroad, on the east with the
fingers of rail lines extending to-
ward the heart Of this inland empire
from trunk lines farther to the north

The younger residents are the chill
dren Of pioneers who have caught
the vision their elders had, and they
have made up their minds to bring
into realization the dreams Of their
fathers. Born in the West, and rear
ed TO breathe its pure air, TO love its
soil, they Give" in the West. II Is
their old nest.
Through the heart of this inland
empire runs the Orient Railroad right
of-way minus steel. II is the long,
long trail a-windin' into the lands Of
the dreams Of the people who live in
this inland country
Worked Many Years.
For a half century they have tried
by ever fair means to bring rail-
road into their domain. In 1910 this
right-of-way was built, following a
survey. The people paid for the
right-of-way. Approximately $780,
600 was put up by the residents Of
FL Dorado, one of the towns along
the proposed route. The right-of-way
begins in the city Of San Angelo and
extends TO a point a few miles be-
low the town Of Sonora. Construc-
tion of the road, a part Of project
ed trans-continental line that would
connect the Pacific coast with Kan
sas City and the Atlantic coast, was
the dream Of James Stillwell, build
err of one railroad system and who
spent the best years Of his life in an
effort to construct the Orient.
The effort made by Stillwell is his
toric. Every great power in the Am.
erican financial world was turned
against him. The house Of Morgan
buttressed the financial center Of
New York against him and prevented
his obtaining money there. Undaunt-
ed he appealed 20 financiers IN Eu-
rope. In Holland he found listening
ears. The fateful war days Of Aug
ust, 1914, came, however, and the
purse strings Of European Golfers
were drawn together as the world
prepared 20 fight.
Example OF Good Engineering.
The right-of-way built INTO the
heart Of the Southwest inland ter
ritory is a fine example of railroad
engineering. Beginning at San An
geio Il goes south 10 Christeval, FL
Dorado and Sonora. The line, ac-
cording 20 the surveys, would 90 70
Del Rio, where il would connect with
the Mexican line Of the company.
This branch Of the Orient gives
direct and short route to Mexico City

system connects with another Mexi-

that soon they may be extended to
bring the advantages Of rapid trans
rortation to a country which has been
developed in spite Of disadvantages

River. The Southern Pacific railroad
on its way to the Pacific follows for
mile upon mile paths marked in q

Empire of Progress.
And this is the great inland en-
pire of the Southwest. It is ruled by
the Emperor Of Progress, for its peo-
pie know no other thought for civic
he but that. II has been an empire
Of pioneers. The older residents were
pioneers. They went further west
than the famous phrase Of Horace
Greedy advised. They really did 60
west. They went west against the
advice Of nearly everybody but Hor-
ace. People told them there was no
thing out there but broad prairies.
They went out west and found these
broad prairies, which they covered
with cattle, and some Of the land was
converted into producing fields.
These pioneers determined to make
good in a new country and to make
a new country make good.

Lack Of railroad facilities has not
made the towns in this broad inland
country backward, either in their
civic or commercial growth. Sonora

nor are there towns of n more pro-
gressive nature The same is true
Of FL Dorado, the county seat Of
