Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER, HYRUM, UTAH Texas to Honor Great Leader $ Second Largest Equestrian Statue in World Will Honor Sam Houston. Washington, D. C. "Like the city that spreads over the District of Co- lumbia, and the capital of Nebraska, Houston, Texas, where the second largest equestrian statue In the world soon Is to be set up, was named for one of the outstanding leaders and heroes of America," says a bulletin from the Washington (D, C.) headquarters of the National Geographic soBut because Sam Houston, ciety. the subject of the huge statue, carried on his work on the frontiers rather than In the relatively crowded East, his fame has suffered. Sam Houston might be considered a sort of average struck between Daniel Boone, Andrev Jackson, and George Washington which makes him more typical of American leaders of the past century than most of his fellows," continues the bulletin. Like Boone he loved the frontier, was an excellent woodsman, and was recognized as a leader by the Indians as well as by his fellow Americans. Like Jackson he was a rough and ready, but an admirable soldier. And like Washington he combined military skill with a natural ability to command attention In the council chamber. Like Washington, too, he played a prominent part in shaping the destiny of his country. His was the major role In freeing of the'present territory of the United States from Mexico and annexing it to the Union as the state of Texas. Few men have held so many positions of authority In different jurisdictions as Sam Houston. He was a mem-- , ber of congress from and governor of of the Tennessee, commander-in-chie- f Army of Colonial Texas, president of the Republic of Texas, senator from the state of Texas, and governor of Texas. The city which Is the namesake of General Sam Houston Is more happily and less arbitrarily designated than most communities that bear the names N one-twelf- th ? of famous men. It was almost on the site of the city that General Houston, commanding the revolutionary army of Texas, defeated Santa Ana, President and commander-ln-chle- f of Mexico, in the battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, and made possible the state of which Houston is now one of the leading cities. From Battlefield to Metropolis. If the old general could see through the bronze eyes of the efflgy which will be set up near the scene of his pregnant victory, he would behold a vastly different region from that over which his soldiers fought with their muzzleloading muskets. The long grass In which the Mexican Napoleon was found hiding the day after his defeat has been replaced by the close clipped lawns of tens of thousands of dwellings of a modern American city. The few old trails have turned info a checkerboard of paved business streets, while railroads and electric lines and shell highways radiate out Into a region of farms, orchards and ranches. The place bristles with skyscrapers more, Houstonians assert, than In any other city of like size. One of the most noteworthy trans- formatlons Is that which has made once inland Honston a seaport Buffalo bayou, on whose banks Texas Independence was won. Is no more. Modern fairy wands steam shovels and dredges and a few million dollars have turned the sluggish old stream Into the Houston Ship canal which has made the city a sort of American Manchester. Ocean steamers traverse the canal ta a basin on the citys fringe and help to move the 3,000,000 bales of cotton that are marketed through Houston annually. The population of Houston is an unknown quantity. In 1920 the city had 138,276 Inhabitants. The census bureau refuses to guess at the present number. It puts Houston In a sort of hall of fame with about a half dozen other cities which, It Is officially explained, are growing so rapidly that an estimate would be valueless. Unless Houston requests a special enumeration as some other cities have done It will have to do its own guessing until Uncle Sams next official counting of noses In 1930. have one grudge Houstonians against their fellow countrymen of the North and East.
