As I First Saw It Ten Years Ago
The conductor called out Doming, and as
Doming was our destination, I and my two
companions stepped off the cars as soon as they
came to a standstill. There were no other pas-
sengers for Doming, which was not surprising,
considering that the town was only a few days
old. As near as I can recollect, there was not a
single house there, nothing but tents from a
decent wall tent, to an old wagon sheet thrown
over a mesquite pole. The whole city, in fact,
might have been loaded on a government
wagon, and not have been a very heavy load.
Where fine brick blocks of metropolitan propor-
tion now stand, there were absolutely nothing
but fine Italian climate and mesquite brush.
