Alpine Gets Summer Tourist Rates On Rail Travel
The Orient railroad announced June 1 to Sept 30 summer tourist rates on all rails making Alpine a recognized summer resort alongside Galveston and Mineral Wells. West Texas entries like Alpine are first to receive this offer, boosting local travel and vacation options for Texans. The ruling aligns with Interstate Commerce Commission policies limiting travel to California, Colorado, and east of the Mississippi, and within Texas to Alpine, Galveston, and Mineral Wells. Travel demand in Alpine expected to rise due to inquiries from across the West. Jackson and Harmon sold H T Fletcher a 15 month bull for 500 dollars, the highest Brewster county price, plus twenty more animals at 70 dollars each.
