Bremond Texas. Dear Haphammer. !
am sorry to see so many OF Our best writ
ers voting for the steamboat. Miss Edith
A. Leffeand said the steamboat had more
to do in making Texas than the locomo
tive. i am sure the majority OF the Haps
viii agree with me when SAY that Is i'm
possible, because railroads have made
Houston. Dallas, Waco Fort Worth and
San Antonio what they are. Our princi-
pal products are cotton and corn. Bre-
mond used TO be the terminus OF the great
Houston and Texas Central railroad. hui
when the railroad pushed north that part
OF Texas was built up more, more crops
were planted. Could the steamboat have
dore this? They could have made Calves
ton bigger. but II would be a nice job
hauling freight from there all over Texas.
would 1t not? II the Haps will look on
page seven in the Semi Weekly Pos thsy
will find Il is our page; read all OF the let
ters and then read the rest OF the page and
then think what the locomotive has done.
First you will read of crops. then on down
you will read of new railroads building
then we come TO the last and read OF one
OF our citizens being killed by falling
from wagon.
Phillip Webster. you Just keep on dream
ing--there is something in your dreams
even if we were on opposite sides during
our last contest,

Beaumont Texas.---Dear Haphammers
The contest is growing very interesting.
! will now cast my vote for the locomo-
tive after having thought the matter ovsr
carefully. The locomotive is more useful
TO the United States because we have
such variety OF climate that we can
raise most anything we need and the To-
connective distributes them, In war we
could fight on land and the locomotive
could carry the soldiers to their posts
very quickly. while II the locomotive was
not in use The enemy could invade our
country while our soldiers were going
to their posts on horse or on foot. Some
say the electric car will take the place
Of the locomotive, but 1t would cost go
much to have such strong motors tina. the
company could not make enough money
out OF Il before II was worn out. 1t
would be the sans way with the automo-
bile. u there were no steamboats, the
people would try harder to build a bridge
across the Bering straits. then through
Asia TO Europe and they could easily
cross the Strait OF Gibraltar in sailing
vessels and then 10 Africa. / will close

the lead. Philip Webster. como again. An
