WnOle attention IN the future, TO stee
where will they get their sur
ply. II must come from Texas mainl,
with New Mexico to help II oui
Therefore, we are laboring for on
common end, and what IL TO our in
terest is to the interest also of on
northern neighbors.
New Mexico will have annual,
very soon q large supply of youns
cattle aud must find market fol
them In northern territories and
states. Here opens up field before
both Texas and New Mexico which
Is worthy of all their wonderful pro.
dncing capacities and shows their in.
terests in all respects to be entirely
mutual The day of their chickering's
and Ill humor Is nearly over. Indeed
the hour has struck, and hcnceforth
they are TO work together for one
common end aid object.
do not think Il wise to call a
meeting ofTexas cattle men before
going TO the st. Louis conventions:
That Is national meeting. IL will
deal with the cattle question as a ma
tiOnai question, and no mere local
matter can gain much by urging Il
on that association. If we go there
at all II should be for national pur-
poses and not for mere local advan-
tages. We will have ample time az
ter we reach st. Louis TO caucus rs
to our local interests. Let us rely moro
oil our own association to remedy cx-
listing evils aud less upon the national
association, and the chances are that
we will accomplish more by Il. Sesf-
reliance Is the thing after all for
Texas cattlemen.
All this Is most respectfully sub
mittcd.
