Tho Sun Saba River Talley
Sin Saba is the principal town of San
Saba county It is pleasantly situated in
tbo v illey of the Sau Saba and abont hilf
mile from tho stream It is twenty two
miles cast toLonieta a railroad station
with which it has daily stago connection
Tho Sau Saba river rises near tho plains
and its waters augmented by numerous
tributaries mother comitiesIlow9 through
S n Saba tounty irom West to East
Tho Colcrado river also adds to tho wa-
ter supply of the eastern portion of the
county
Aloug tlra nvera tho valleys contain tho
richest land in Texas Water is abundant
in both streams and when prop rly utili-
zed nearly svery acre of tillable laud can
he ungated
The comity is in a prosperous and
healthy condition It has no indebtedness
to speak of
Its tax le ry is lower than in man other
counties in the state The town is em-
bowered in groves of shade and fruit
trees Under ground pipes ol w atcr run
through almost cv ery street
Tho surrounding valley is under an az
cellcnt stato of cultivation Fields of wav
tug grain an 1 alfalfa and orchards loaded
dovn with delicious fruit meet the eye in
every direction
The town has a delightful situation and
with its plcisant homes surrounded by
trees shrubbery and flowers its pure wa
ter and healthy elimate it is one of the
most attractiv e towns iu the state Mills
cotton gins Lotcls business houses a
newspaper and all tho accessories of a
flourishing town are prospering and as
an indication of its rapid growth is cited
tho fact thatnew tenement houses are al-
most invariably rented before tho founda-
tions are laid There is no m vision of
opinion upon the ijuestion of its destiny
as ons of tho most important and hand-
somest towns in tho west It isa natural
supply point for tho west With abun-
dance of waer and a sod of such fruitful-
ness it will make rapid strides with tho
next few years towards metropolitan pro-
portion with a climate during the entire
year that excels that of its famous arno
The farmers in the San Saba valley un-
der the canals or ditches plants his crops
without referenco to clouds or signs of
rain totally indifferent to all motraologi
cal portent his acres rcceivo the water
needed for the growth of tho growingjnst
at the proper time and in the properqma
lty by simply lifting th e gato of an imga
ting ditch and letting thewater flowover
the land Several of these canals or
ditches are now in nso around San Saba
Weat will grow here Almost every
product of the temperate zone willfloiir
ish in the San Saba river valley while all
the semi tropical productions for which
southern California has become famouB
attain even a greatfcr degree of perfection
in tho San Saba valleys and no blemish
of sho 6cale bus disfigures tho golden
rruit Grapes for wine are especially
adapted to the soil and climate and a su-
perior quality are produced Alfalfa
yields from one to two crops and willaver
age from one to two tons of hay per acre at
eieh cutting readily worth 10 per ton
in a hnme market All kiudsof of vege-
tables and Iruits aro cultivated with pro-
nounced success and always at a lair
profit
There can bo no more perfect climato
under the sun than that of Sau baba the
bright sunshine perpetually gladdens tho
face of all nature Tho summer months
record a temperature frequently reaching
ono hundred degrees but the dry atmos-
phere so quickly absorbs the perspiration
that one cannot realize the fact A tcm
peratnro of eighty degrees in St Louis
Chicago or New York is far more oppress-
ive by reason of the excessive humidity of
the atmosphere tbei a temperature of one
hundred degrees in San Saba sunstrokes
aro unknown here and prostrations from
heat rarely occur the nights ore aln ays
refreshing cool and one can cnjoyeven
after the hotcst d ly tho most perfect
rest in sleep The winter season is indeed
delightful and there is scarcely a da dur-
ing its entiro period that the doors and
w mdow are not Urown open to admit
tho pure soft brcezi Sufferers with pul-
monary complaints in fact Invalids with
any disease will find in San Saba all the
natural conditions for restoration to per
feet health Tin dry and warm atmos
pheresoothes all their ailments and the
alility tor exccise constantly in tho open
air very speedily restores them to perfect
health this advantage over tho damp and
chilling seashore should commend itself to
tho earnest consideration ot evety health
seeker
For homes there is probably no better
opportunlt in the west for people of mod-
erate means to acquire homes and a com-
petence than in tho San Saba v alley Tho
prices of laud are now low improved
