OAK CLIFF.
STILL BOOMING IN SPITE
OF THE BAD WEATHER.
The Iron Bridge Will Soon be
Completed and the Trans-

Oak Cliff was born of natural ndvau-

Dallas has a dozen sprightly children
but in the lace or nil of them Oak
Cliff walks off with tho achnup. Thcro
Is some talk of inoviiiR Dullas over

We don't intend to say that Dallas is j

upon her as an opeu page overy day.
I'eoplo from all sections of the fctnte

ward Dalias and her prominence is
rapidly increasing. Tho growth of J

Wo feel better. Next we find beauti-

ttato has better. (School begins Jan-
uary 1st). A uobby littlo station after
the Japanese plan of architecture is
. found whero each street crosses the
railway. Scores of laborers are seen
at work on the streets and the saw
! and hammer keep up a terrible rack-
et. There are thirteen homes now go-
ing up and as many more under con-
tract. Scarcely a day passos w

as the lists of "Real folate Translurs
attest. 200000 will covor tho real
eel ato stiles of most Texas towns of
6000 population and under for six
mouths or n year. Ouk Clifl has sold
that much in six weeks and began
virtually without any population at
all. Thcro has been moro public Im-
provement at Oak Cliff within tho
past throe months than in tho entire
city of Dallas or auy city or town in
Texas. This is a strong statement
but it is backed by tho figures. It is
true. This improvement has been mad
by private capital too. It cauuot
stop now It does not havo to. But
it is safe to say it docs not wish to.
With such lovely places for nomas
school privileges qtilcK and cheap
transportation to the city highly im
proved streets and an nuuudanco of
as pure water as thcro is iu Texas
tho investors in Onk Cliff
stock need not wait long for their
bread to float back to them. But the

It takes more than most morjals pos-

mud in other places and nothing is
left to buy lumber or build a house.

Of course yon have no city tax to pay.
