Court House and Jail Located.
Real estate men were at fever
heat all day. At 10 a. m. it was ru-
mored the new courthouse and jail
would be located 011 the site of the
Mesa Garden. At 11 o'clock the
report Hew round that they would
be put up just at the American end
of the bridge, where stands the toll-
taker's box. At 1- o'clock a pas
senger on the street cars came up
town and reported that Juan Hart
and Major Rand were having a
heated discussion in f.'ont of the
street car stables, and tlu> rumor
spread that the streetcar corral had
been settled upon. At 1 o'clock
several disgiuted citizens circulated
a petition to have the coumy seat
and public buildings returned to
Ysleta. Up on top of Franklin
Mountain was suggested by one
prominent citizen, but he was soon
sat down upon, as the city limits
do not reach over half-way to the
summit. We/ modestly suggested
to a heated crowd that perhaps if
the Commissioners would wait un-
til the return of the senior editor of
the Times from Fort Worth, he
might donate free gratis for nothing
one of his very many eligible sites
—and one man excitedly exclaimed
"not by a d—in site.'' .lust at the
hour of going to press, the news is
spreading that the Commissioners
have decided upon— Block 209,
San Antonio street, bounded east by
Campbell street, west by Kansas
street, and south by Overland. The
jail site is in Block 3S, just west of
the courthouse square. The pro-
perty is owned bv .Inn. B. Hector,

Down in Meixcothey have a pe-
culiar way of pushing the car of pro-
gress along. The mayor of Zacate-
cas has just issued a decree that
every house in the city shall be
painted within a specified time at
the owner's e.xpence, and also'di-
rects that owners of city lots shall
build houses thereon immediately,
or forfeit the same to the govern-
ment. Which is one way to build up
a town.
Thinkers are scarce as gold, but
he whose thought embraces all his
subject, who pursues it uninterrup-
tedly and fearless of consequences,
is a diamond of enormous size
