And, still, "theyIl' say San Antonio
is asleep, and you" fellows should

With the foundation solidly laid, San
Antonio faces the new year with rosy
prospects of more rapid development
in every line than ever before in its
history.
San Antonio is not perfect. No
other. city. or no human is perfect.
Nor can they ever be perfect. But
San Antonio is as near the ideal home
town as any other can ever hope to be:
There are many things that would
still add to the pleasures and comfort
of living and that would stimulate
business, both industrially and agri-
culturally. that probably will be
brought about during the coming year.
Some of these ] expect to see accom-
plished. Others ] might mention, l

1 expect to see the railroad built
into the valley from San Antonio and
thus provide additional new markets
for valley products. 1 would like to
see the western railroad completed
this year.
With the new and enlarged activ-
tiles of the Chamber of Commerce /
expect to see hundreds of new farms
put into cultivation, and moro than a
hundred new factories employing thou
sands of additional workers, with in
creased activity through the ports at
Corpus Christi and at Point Isabel.

the lesser, and the city continues to
grow and prosper. And it is these
things that make San Antonio the
most desirable city in the world in
which to live. And we should live
little as we 20 along for there is no
telling just what. we will be forced to
do after this life is over.
San Antonio still remains the first
city in Texas in population; in schools,
| in churches, beauty, history and ro-
nance, as well ms prosperity, purpose
and enterprise. All this, in face OF
the II told you so's.'
San Antonio is supreme in climate,
scenery, science, art, architecture,
sculpture, religion, research and rec
reation. as well as in poetry, letters
and scholarship.
BIG DEVELOPMENT.
1t is the second healthiest city in
America and has more paved streets
and modern conveniences than any
other city in the state. 1t also has
in its % city parks more than 100
acres Of beautified grounds, the equal
of which cannot be found in America.
During the past wear San Antonio
has succeeded in calling to the atten-
ton of the outside world the many
beauty spots of this section, and also
in stimulating interest in the great
agricultural and industrial opportun-
tiles that exist in the empire sur
rounding this city. As result it is
freely predicted that the next big real
estate development will take place in
the San Antonio territory, which will
benefit every town and community in
this vast undeveloped region.
Notwithstanding San Antonio's
"sleep" more than s21 100000 of out
side capital was brought in and in.
vested in San Antonio buildings and
enterprises during the year just closed.
And San Antonio energy and capital
are aiding in the great irrigation pro-
iects now under way in Southwest
Texas that will bring thousands of
acres of fertile raw lands under culti-
walton.
LEADS PROJECTS.
San Antonio, through its chamber
Of commerce, has led the campaign
for a direct railroad into the Lower
Rio Grande Valley, which now seems
assured, and for railroad into West
Texas to the northwest.
1t has also been the prime mover in
the new deep water port project at
Corpus Christi which is to be COM
pleted during the coming year.
San Antonio chamber Of commerce.
has also enlarged its agricultural, in
dustrial, trade extension and publicity
departments to embrace its entire con-
tributary territory so they may bene-
fit from the activities and the national
advertising being done by San An
tonic.
San Antonio, through its efficient
city administration, voted and expend-
ed more than SO 100000 on public
improvements during the past year.
This included the Olmos Dam pro-
ject, waterworks system, new audi
forum. water and sewer extensions,
street improvements and street mark
ers, something the city has long need
ed, and for park purposes.
These are just few OF the things
San Antonio has done during the year
Just past. and does not include the
SIS, 100000 spent here by the United
States Army in maintaining the larg-

area, on such a basis, would 10 10
Mexico.
That, however, is DEPRESSING some
what from my story. In Tamauipas,
below Brownsville, are succession
of valleys. one after another, all the
way down to Tampico. They con
tain this same rich alluvial soil,
washed down from the Sierra Madre
with beautiful rivers winding their
way to the seas. There is no end
Of natural resources in Tamaulipas,
especially in agriculture. 1t is an
exceedingly rich area, wonderful IN It's
undeveloped resources. here call at
tention to the fact that the proposed
Tampico & Northern Railroad will
run directly through this vast fertile
empire, an area so rich as to defy Ian
guage to describe.
OIL PLENTIFUL.
The oil fields and potential oil
fields between San Antonio and Tam
pico are other natural resources OF
great profit to the developers of this
territory. Many do not know that elk
oil pools were discovered in 1925 in
South Texas alone, the last being by
the Humble Oil Company in Duval
county. Six oil pools in a single year
and no one knows how many yet 10 be
brought in, both in Texas and Tan
aulipas. A railroad that will run
through these oil fields on down 10
Tampico and thence TO Mexico City
viii be a wonderful monument to the
San Antonians who help TO make it
possible. Such a line is the Tampico
& Northern Railroad, projected by San
Antonio businessmen under a conces-
sion already granted them by the
Mexican government for all the right
of-way in Mexico.
This brings us to the railroad situa-
ton as il will affect the development
of the wonderful region / have out
lined above. A year ago, we had the
Sap Railroad administration force in
San Antonio. occupying two floors IN
large office building. The Sausage.
too, was an independent line. with
its administrative staff here.
The Sap has already been removed
to another city and the Sausage will
doubtless 20 shortly. These lines are
important links in our territory and
their administration in another city
may or may not influence their future
value to this city. The fact remains
that by reason of our proximity to this
territory, the railroad administration
by right, should be in San Antonio.
NEEDED TODAY.
A year ago, no one spoke Of the
Falfnrrias extension by the Southern
Pacific recommended by our Chamber
of Commerce. But the desirability of
a direct line from here 10 the lower
Rio Grande Valley was generally agi-
tated. If such a line was desirable
then. ii is much more so today because
the reasons for it have multiplied on
every hand. That movement, too,
seems to have been forgotten in San
Antonio.
The railroad situation today hinges,
II seems to me, on the route TO Mexico
City that will tap all these great re
sources. According to Wall Street

he is not making the mistake made BY
some who attempted to colonize the
Crystal City country in the early
days. in that he is bringing in those
who are real farmers and who are
familiar with farm life, and who have
made success at farming in other
parts of the country, but who are
seeking new homes in a section where
soil, irrigation. and climatic condi-
tons make farm life more ideal than
in any other part of the United
States.
NEW FAMILIES.
Probably the thing which has re-
tarded the growth Of the Crystal CITY
country more than anything else was
the fact that the early promoters
erred in trying to colonize the farms
with people from the northern cities,
who know nothing whatever about
farming. They soon became discour-
aged and fled back to the city, giving
the country a black eyes, because they
were thoroughly unfit to cope with
the problems of farm life.
Mr.. Hagelstein's colonization prof.
ect is regarded with paramount i'm
portance in Crystal City because it
means that many new families will b.
brought in and new homes will be
established and a happy and prosper.
Gus colony of thousands of people will
come into existence at the very doors
