         is on the Texas and Pacific Railway, 329
         miles west of Fort Worth, and 287 miles east
         of El Paso, beaut~fully located on a site over-
         looking the countr~ for a distance of ten
         miles. Jt was started at the time of the town
         lot sale in May,  '886, since which time
         eleven substantial  buildings  have  been
         erected, among them a handsome depot,
         second to none on the line of the road, two
         story building~, a two story hotel, towocom-
         pany office and dwellings.  A two story
         building, 32x80 feet, having twenty rooms,
         is operated as a health resort, where people
         suffering, from throat and- lung troubles,
         rheumatism and kindred other diseases, may
         avail themselves of the best climate in the
         world for a cure.  The sanitariam in charge

                                  No Dengue Here.
         
          Experience of the past four summers af-
         fords another instance of the healthfulness
         of West Texas, partictilarly of the Staked
         Plain.  While dengue has had its run gen
         erally through eastern and southern parts of
         the state, scarcely any one being exempt
         from it, there has been no case on the
         Plains.  What the peculiarities of tht disease
         are we know not; but its prevalence through
         East Texas, from north to south, indicates
         that it is due to local causes, and  the
         exemption of the west may surely be ascribdd
         to its elevation and natural healthful condi
         tions'
