and other Texas papers have also do
mated Rreat deal Of space to the sub
jet Of having Texas represented at the

which Is this: Has The Gazette or any
other Texas paper received an en-
cotiraging word. line or letter ON ne sub.
ject of Immigration for Texas from any
railroad official of the state2 Ii SO.
whenf II not, why not?
One more question, Mr. Editor II you
