Dear Sir:--I read your article on
the statehood matter with much in.
terest and am sure its the right thing
to do, and you can count on me doing
everything | possibly can. and any in
formation you can give me personally
on the matter in the way of instruc-
tions will be glady received. While
may not be delegate or become ac-
tive will do my best to help in every
way. My mining interests are finally
making good and l have made some
good deals and got two mines in the
shipping list all on hard work and hus
tie. It pays to stick for the big show
when you know you are right. All my
old partners quit the game as 1t got too
fierce, but I went out and polished a
drill for others to earn power and
chuck to keep up my normal work
and finally struck the ore within
few feet OF where / predicted 1t would
be. Now I have some of my old part
ners here working for me. | agree
with you on the matter OF Roosevelt
being cinched to run again. The peo-
pie can't afford to take any chances on
new man In the race for the COM
mon herd know just where he Is at
and the trusts know it, and if new
man was elected it would tie things
all up until the public could find out
where he was at have been a Dem
ocrat all my life but l reserved the
right to vote for the man in all cases,
regardless of politics, and as long as
am an American citizen, am going to
keep on doing it. But am for Roose-
welt first and no one else. | guess this
is strong enough for Democrat or
any one else. He has delivered the
goods and made the trusts look at
their hole card every time they tried
to four.flush him. A new president at
this stage of the game might get his
dates mixed and cause trouble IN nm
ancial circles and the whole country Isl
too roserous to take any chances al
this stage of the game. Let me know
If there is any good I can do here for
the interests of statehood. | know
can't vote for Roosevelt, but | can
boost like the devil and that's the SEN
timent of every miner in my camp
you good luck, remain,

Wolves Pest Of Texas.

evolves are getting to be such a
pest in Texas that the Legislature
recently passed a scalp law giving
a bounty for each one slain," said
Representative Burleson of the
Lone State.
"Our sheep and goat breeders
have sufferd great losses through
the depredations on their focks.
Not long since I lost seven fine
Angoras IN one day, and unless
some immunity from the miserable
wolves can be had it is useless to
keep in the business of breeding
animals for them to destory. The
wolves are of two kinds-the small
gray timber wolf and the big black
wolf which revels in killing sheep
and young calves. They are equally
cunning in evading schemes aimed
at their destruction. Some sort
of intuition tells them to let alone
a piece of poisoned meat. Then
after making breakfast from a
slauhtered lamb, Mr.. Wolf will
start for pastues new and by night
fall will be thirty miles distant
from scene of his morning crime"
