How would you like the idea Of buy
ing land at fifteen dollars which can be
made income producing from the start,
netting from ten to fifty dollars per
acre per year, with the certainty OF a
steady rise inside of ten years to one
hundred dollars and more. Ine land is
as good as the best Iowa soil, the cii-s
mate even and healthy all the vear
round The location is in Jackson Co.
Texas, 80 miles north OF the Gulf, and
the land will produce field crops Of
rice, cotton, corn, sugar cane, sweet
potatoes, hay and millet; all fruits do
we'll, and no better country for vege-
table and melon growing can be found.
1t is in the rain belt with perfect
drainage, and has good water. 1t Is
the land Of the future, has no severe
winters, and will make an active and
industrious man rich inside OF ten
years.
We have 80 sections, one as good AZ

A Minister'S Temptation.

(From Seattle T1meS.)
The temptation to be other than
mere preacher comes to a minister. not
only from within his own mind, from
reading and observation, but the peo-
pie of his parish and his neighborhood
thrust other suggestions upon him. One
parishioner wants his opinion on the
Sunday closing law, another wants a
book reveiewd, another likes to see his
book reviewed.. another likes to see his
papers, the local papers like to get the
ministers to. discuss public questions.
In this way, as we'll as by original
Thought, minister has the questions
of the day thrust upon him. Not only
that, but there are many ministers Of
great success and great influence who
have always faced the questions of the
day, discussed them and fought for
their interpretation of them.
So the minister who believes in
preaching gospel and nothing but gos
pei is opposing some accepted facts as
well as proposing g, worthy theory.

Representative Cattle Sales.
Below are given few Of the repre-
sentative cattle sales:
Stockers and Feeders.

Good grass and the favorable situa-
ton Of fat steer trade have lent rather
brisk tone to the feeder market, and
traders believe this will continue IN
force in the near future, but as yet
there is nothing i'm the situation in
dicative of broader demand for plain
light stockers Prices for the latter,
however, are on basis which should
stimulate better demand. since they
can be had cheap enough to afford
to make them attractive to most own
ers Of good pasturage.
A good grade of feeders cost $4.75@
500 and something strictly choice was
quotable up to $5.25. Most medium to
good steers sold at os4.6o@4.s0, while
those below $3.50 were ight-weights
Good stockers cost $s.s5@4.1O, and me-
dunn kinds $3.5O@3.75, while plain
light grades sold at $3.15@3.35, and
some thin little Wisconsin knothead
steers ranged down to $2.75.

THERE i COMPETITION
President Mackey, of Postal Tel
egraph, Says Rivalry With
Western is Fierce
COMPETITION is CONSTANT
COMPETITION is CONSTANT
Mackay Says Postal is Compelled to
Fight Continuously to Prevent Being
Excluded From All Depots-onIy
Company That Ever Made compe-
tition. -

New York, July 1o.-Clarence H.
Mackay, president Of the Postal Tele-
graph Cable Company, when asked to-
day in regard to the proceedings which
were instituted yesterday by the at.
torney general Of the state of New
York against the Postal Telegraph
Gable Company and the Western I'm
ion Telegraph Company for ceasing to
compete said:
"1f two companies ever competed in
the United tSat,s these two telegraph
companies are competing, and always
have been. At times the competition Is
even fierce and bitter. Every mer-
chant and manufacturer in the United
States wherever we reach will be our
witness to the truth of the statement.
I'VE are litigahing with the Western
Union all over the country in regard to
railroad rights of way. In fact the
tremendous fight between the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the Western Union
was due solely to the fact that We got
that business away from the Western
Union.
The Western Union is trying to ex-
clude us from all depots and have just
succeeding in excluding us from the
Birmingham union depot, which is per-
haps the finest union depot in this
country at present, and we intend to
take that matter into the courts to set
a ci5o h, mo- icfi nt he
tween the Birmingham union depotan
the Western Union.
Look at the Cuba cable. which we
are now laying and which will be in
operation by September 80, ard which
will take a large amount of business
away from the Western Z ion
Look at the Pacific 0l,, which
took business away from . Western
Union. Then there are o., Il five cables
in the Atlantic and our la nd lines sys-
tenn which runs into every state in
the union. and ts continually taking
business away from the Western I'm
ion. We are about to construct
new route to the, Pacific coast. pass
ing thru the great mining fields such
as Tonopah, Goidfield, ETC., all OF
which take business away from the
Western Union.
I'VE are the only company that ever
did compete with the Western Union
and succeeded in doing so. Other
companies have competed merely to
be bought out and none of them ever
paid dividend in opposition to the
Western Union. We are extending
our system all of the time and are
taking business away from the Wes-
tern Union. All this talk about the
two companies working in harmony
is nonsense"
