American community, and to many
who have known it best-including

fetal cognomen, 'Sanantone.'
LOSING ITS FOREIGN
/ FLAVOR
"A hundred years ago San An
tonic was almost entirely Spanish
and Mexican. Fifty years ago it
could be considered only half Ameri-
can. Then the railroads came to
quicken its life, the rich COW coun-
try round about was developed and
few far-sighted business men woke
up to the fact that it was situated
without competitors in the very cen
ter Of territoroy that would need
unmeasured supplies. Since that time
San Antonio has grown its forest of
sky-scrapers and factory chimneys
like scores OF it's fellow American
cities. Approaching the 100000 mark
and with greater population than
that during the winter tourist season
it leads all other cities In Texas
though It is closely approached by
Dallas and Houston. An observer
set down suddenly on Commerce or
Texas street might easily imagine
himself in Syracuse, Atlanta, Mem
phis. Dayton or any one of a dozen
other cities of similar size.
As it has grown San Antonio has
lost most of its exotic flavor; but
touches or old Spain and Mexico are
still to be found IL one searches for
them. A few of the narrow, winding
streets Of the old days are left with
sidewalks on which to pedestrians
can hardly pass. Ir0n-barred win
dows are to be seen behind which coy
senoritas have stood as Spanish or
Mexican youths played the bear.
Grated doors and gates in yard-thick
walls Of the mission days hint at mys-
terry. Those who like the peppery
dishes of Latin America may find
them of a quality not equaled out
side the City of Mexico and a few oof
the lager cities of the southern re-
public.

"A visitor to San Antonio could
hardly imagine destruction from the
San Antonio river. He might even
maintain that the city has no river
at all, only creek. In the forest of
modern business buildings the river
is as effectively hidden as is the Ge
nesee in Rochester. The San Antonio
rises practically within the city limits
gushing full grown from rocky foun-
tains. It's narrow bed has been paw

the city for all the world like me-
Diminished irrigation ditch. In a
stroll through the business district
one will cross the little stream half
dozen times in going less than a

San Antonio's little river has al
ways added a picturesque touch to
the city. Throughout the business
district the banks of the wall-con-
fined stream have been parked. and
groups pause constantly on the many
little bridges to admire the sloping,
close-cropped lawns set with flower
beds and shaded by tall. deep green
Iclumps of banana trees. i"

THE DOG LAW issue
ITS REPEAL sought
A Lively Fight in the LegisIa.
ture Over This Much
Agitated Question

An effort is being made in the
Tennessee legislature to repeal the
dog law. There is also much
opposition to it repeal and a very
lively fight is likely to ensuse
when the legislature reconvenes.
The sheep GROWERS of the estate
insist that its repeal would mean
the disuse of thousands of acres Of
land that is now admirably adapted
and very generally used for sheep
raising.
1t is also insisted that to
repeal this law would be a
backward step and place Ten
nessee in the dog column and de-
stroy one of the most profitable
industries in the state. Hundreds
of farmers and stock men are
saying, should the dog law be re-
pealed, our focks are for sale at
once" The question arises,
(which is more profitable to Ten
nessee, which is more CONDUCIVE

Those who favor the law do not
desire the destruction of good dogs.
