THE HALL MUSIC C0MPAY
lJnlvlin, Texan
We are pleased to meet on our
streets the genial, sunshiny,
good natured Col. Tom C. Moore
the man who secured the right
of way through Comanche, East-
land and Shackelford counties for
the Texas Central Ry. He was
a sly old chap then, and when
asked about the railroad, did not
seem to know any more about it
than the veriest hayseed between
Waco and Cisco. He was pros-
pecting the country for a stock
ranch, and had decided to locate
where Cisco now is, provided he
could buy the land. With the
assistance of our townsman, M.
V. Mitchell, he secured the land,
and thereby hangs a joke on our
Mr. Mitchell. But we let -him
tell it in his own way—see him.
Coming events cast their shad-
ows and glist the gloaming.
Anoher railroad is coming our
way, who knows but Col.
Moore knows as much about the
Cisco, Brownwood & Northwest-
ern as he knew about the Texas
Central. He had it in his pock-
et.—Cisco Apert.

A BOON TO SETTLERS
WHY GOOD ROADWAYS TEND TO
DRAW HOME SEEKERS.
l*nrrhaRe, of Many Fine I'lsces In a
Culiforuln County Were Due to a
turae Exteiit to Hard und UoaUeaa
liixhwaya,
The value of good roads to a commu-
nity Is thus treated by the Hants Rosa
(Cal.) Press:
As an abstract proposition most peo-
ple arc, of course, “In favor of good
roads.” Vet as a matter of fact com-
paratively tow stop to think how much
well kept thoroughfares really mean
to a community. They not only stimu-
late travel, popularize the sections
traversed, Increase land values, at-
tract new residents and build up trade,
but they also make life more pleasant
and improve conditions generally.
No one appreciates the value of good
roads more than the real estate man,
who makes it his business to show
prospective home seekers about, point
out the beauties and advantages of tbo
country and locate as many desirable
residents in his territory as possible.
When he starts out over a hot, dusty
road he knows that the chances are
against him to begin with. The way
seems long, the country uninviting,
and Ills customer will nine times out of
ten become disgusted and get out of
the notion of buying before the ob-
jective point is reached. The trip is
therefore a failure, aud unless the
agunt is fortunate enough to locate his
man elsewhere he leaves the country
with an unfavorable impression and
carries this opinion with him to be im-
parted later to his friends and ac-
quaintances in other places, not only to
the Injury f the real estate business,
but to the > •trhnent of the community
as a whole.
On the other hand, when bowling
along behind a spanking team and over
a fine road, well sprinkled and free
from dust, ten or twenty miles are
reeled off before any one realizes It.
the good points noted en route are dis-
cussed and properly considered, und
the prospective customer is very apt to
find himself favorably impressed with
the whole country and Ls sure to reach
(tie place he started for in n frame ?

PLEASANT IMPRESSIONS PROM A GOOD
ROAD.
mind where he will at least give the
arguments presented by his guide due
consideration and attendon.
As an Indication of what tills means
let us look at the Kenwood and Glen
Ellen country, In Sonoma county, Cali-
fornia, where the sprinkling of roads
with oil was first Inaugurated. Many
of the roads In that vicinity had been
neglected for a long time. Aroused to
the necessity for action, the residents
and property owners of that section
organized a “good roads club." A
“good roads convention” was even held
there, with delegates from many dis-
tant points, and. In short, the matter
was agitated in every possible way.
The natural result followed.
During the past few years more real
estate has changed hands In that vi-
cinity and more desirable new resi-
dents have been brought in than In
any similar period before. The Improv-
ed condition of the roads alone may
not have brought about this result It
Is true, but it has, beyond doubt, con-
tributed very materially to It. The
Henry Bolle place, for Instance, has
been purchased by Warren English;
the Jewett estate has a new owner in
the person of Rudolph Spreckels, who
is making It one of the show places of
California; ex-Senator Kerens, tbo
Utah multimillionaire, has bought the
great Los Guilicos ranch, for so many
years the property of William Hood;
Judge Carroll Cook is now the pos-
sessor of the Tarrant ranch, where he j
makes his summer home; the Ginellu
ranch has been bought by W. D. Rey-
nolds; several small tracts have been
sold off the old Behler property; the
Clark place is now owned by L. H.
Sly; the Ross property, purchased long
ago by Mrs. Smith, has again changed
hands, the new purchaser being Mr.
Schubert; Louis Kundc recently bought
the old Shaw place; the beautiful home
of Mrs. Yost, also changed hands not
kmg since, the new owners being W.
R. Stearns and M. V. Johnson; the old
Warfield ranch Is now the home of
Will L. Ashe.
These are only a few of the more Im-
portant real estate changes that have
taken place In the Kenwood and Glen
Ellen country during the time referred
to, but they servo to Illustrate fully the
truth of the assertions made at the
beginning of this article.
