Texas Town Grows From Sleepy
Place of 5000 to 10000 In
habitants Over Night.
OIL BOOM is RESPONSIBLE
Nundreds Are Forced to Sleep Out
Doors and There ls but One
Bathhouse in the Place
Prices Are High.

Mexia. Texas-Mexia, which has
come into so much notoriety through
the sending of state troops here TO
put an end TO outlawry, the sale of
Illicit booze and restore order, is a
typical mushroom city.
Overnight a tented city arose. From
an apparently sleepy little town of
5000 population in October, 1921,
where old settlers farmed for living
and eked out bare existence from
their lands TO a busting city of 3d.
600 people, and all in a few months,
this is the recent record of Mexia, an
eid-time Texas town, which is feel
nag the effects of one of the numer-
Gus oil developments in the South
west.
The population now consists of an
assortment of oil field followers and
thousands of men and women seeking
employment. Consequently because
OF the exhorbitaat prices charged for
a room, if one were lucky enough to
secure one hundreds of men, favored
by the long continued mild winter, are
sleeping on the grass along railroad
tracks, public parking places and, in
fact, anywhere they can.
Beds in Tents Costly.
Overnight a bed in a tent marked
"a place TO flop" scared from 80 cents
a night TO So. A night in a crude
plank structure where one didn't
know his bed-fellow or the hundreds
of others in the single room cost So.
Rail traffic jumped hundreds of per
cent. There are two trunk lines, the
Houston & Texas Central and the
Trinity & Brazos Valley, leading
through here, and passenger traffic is
very heavy, while freight trains are
frequently seen running three abreast
so heavy is the demand for oil ma
chinery. One road is said to have spent
100000 in enlarging it's facilities.
The water situation is not alto
gether what could be desired. Getting
a bath here is quite an experience, if
indeed not a task. The old saying,
IF you want to do something big
wash an elephant" certainly has found
parallel in Mexia.
But One Bathhouse.
This luxury may be found, outside
