howard Hud MS COMPANY 'hiongN MS to
commrndAtion. have stood firmly against
giving transportation save TO few Of
MI Howard pet and agents.
Inc matter OF setting Nh thcS" lands
can be OF very little Interest to Mn. How
arll or MS company. or They would ouer
Inducements to homeseekers and 'he agents
Of ihcs" lands who are bringing these
homcScekcrs from The North To- Texas. Mr..
Howard has sent this company the name
Of one man. who he said, wanted land.
We wrote this man and quoted The same
prices We have given Mr Howard, but
have never heard word from the gentle
man referred to This IS the sum and sub
stance Of tho total aid received from Mr..
Howard and his company In the seven
years we have been striving to settle M
OF the hardest Kind OF work, have paid
out thousands Of dollars Tor advertising,
have developed and proven orr lands and
have had all kinds Of assistance from tho
Rock Island and the Santa Fe Railroad
cnmpauies-all to settlc mp lands on the
line OF a road the inauguration agent OF
which Is So utterly void Of appreciation.
Only last week asked transportation
through Mr. Howard over the line OF road
for which he Is immigration agent for two
of my agents FOR tho purpose Of going
into Louisiana distributing copies vi Tue
Houston Daily Post and tho Chostervlllc
News containing an extended write up OF
our lands. and bringing ont over his road
some customers and prospective buyers
Ny request was refused Having rendered
positively no assistance. he now seeks 10y
Misrepresentation tp discourage the ,rt- /
Ting mp of these lands,
