Palace as a good thing for the entire
state.
The Santa Fe tram brought in an
other large party for the Luverne
colony yesterday morning. The
methods inaugurated by the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande railroad under
the earnest and able management of
Commissioner T. A Wilkinson are bring
ing about the most satisfactory results.
From the very first day that he arrived
within the borders of Texas he has taken
an intelligent and patriotic stand in
behalf of its legitimate development.
None of its enemies abroad nor croakers
at home can discourage him or lessen his
faith in its great future possibilities.
His wide and favorable acquaintance
with the best class of people in several
Northern states enables him to secure
their confidence because of his earnest
intention to publish only the facts and
conclusions arrived at by five years of
actual residence among us. When he
addresses an audience in the North as he
did at Rock Rapids, Iowa, last week he
states as near as can be, every fact per-
tanning to Texas, pro and con, and then
in the general summing up when COM
pairing it with other states he is happily
able to show balance sheet in favor of
Texas. 1t is fast occurring to the minds
of the Northern people through the
patriotic efforts of such men as Mr..
Wilkinson that Texas is state vastly
better than many suppose it TO be.
Indeed, the persons just arrived have
unanimously expressed themselves to
that effect. 1t is one Of the happy results
of Mr.. WilIinson's efforts that every
man he brings becomes an earnest, active
advocate of our state When it is consider
ed that his plans and efforts are bringing
together people from the two extremes of
North and South, Minnesota and the
Gulf states, people cannot but award him
the heartiest encouragement, and in do
ing so extend cordial welcome to his
Minnesota friends who contemplate cast
ing their lot with Texas. All wish the m
well and believe that an interchange of
ideas, interchange of commodities, the
free commingling of people from the
North, South, East and West, will en-
nance Texas welfare by obliterating
prejudiees and contribute to the general
prosperous growth of this great cosno-
polltan state Mr.. Wilkinson is being
ably assisted by his agents, Joseph
knight, Mr. Bulls and f. d. Knight.
Mrs. A NJ. 3 . Knight, wife of Joseph
Knight, arrived with the party. The
following is a partial list of the mem
bers: B. S. Bulls, E. d. Knight, E.

General Manager Meek of the Denver,
Texas and Fort Worth arrived in Fort

Col Meek said it was subject of re-
gTet that the Texas legislature should at
this time adopt legislation so unjust TO
the railroads. The Fort Worth and Den
yer was paying out S25 ZOO yearly to
bring people to Texas, and
the state wanted people and
wanted railroads. If the bill
should become law no line in Texas
could keep its road in repair. 1t would
be unfortunate if Texas should follow the
example OF Iowa. Texas above all other
states needed development. Col Meek

'.Mr. Clugston, said the foreman of
the Doodleville Yelper Office, 1.-The
Pinhook Jgger says you didn't have
money enough to pay the express on
your paper last week: and had to shin
around among the merchants for a loan
of forty cents before you could get it out
of the express office and 60 to press"
Mr.. Clugston, the editor and propri-
etor of the Yelper, calmly sat down and
wrote the following whitening article:
