OZARK BOOSTERS.
An Organir ation al Eureka Springs Work

from Eureka Springs looking after her property interests has kindly handed the Star copy of the Daily Times-Echo of that place containing an account of the organization of the Ozark Boosters League.
 The object seems to be to organ ize a series of Ozark Booster Leagues along the Ozark range of mountains, Mena being the extreme southern point.
 Hon. J. D. DeBois was chosen president and we present the follow ing from his speech of acceptance as reported:
 "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen After accepting the position as presi- dent. I wish to say have listened to the gentleman who halls from the Rockies and his story of Denver ana Colorado. He IS patriotic, and be- lieve a part of his story and think he believes it all.
 If you gentlemen have not al- ready made up your minds to go to Colorado, stop, listen-let me tell you of country, the greatest coun- try on earth, the home of the Big Red Apple.
 Tt is true the mountains are not as high as the Rockies; yet we have a chain of mountains, partly covered with cedar and pine, the fragrance from which furnishes the purest all that ever entered the lungs of man From these mountains flow spri ags of pure water. am told 1t has been tested and shown to be the purest water in the world. l accept this as true; believe it ard tell It as true. The country I am telling yoL of is neither too hot nor too cold. but centrally located. People come from the cold blizzards of the north in the winter and find 1t mild and pleasant. Men, women and children in summer come from the hot sunny south here to spend pleasant, cool and mild summer. The country l am telling you about has beautiful scenery. The mountains and valleys are so rich and fertile they will pro- duce clover and the grasses, and the time is not far distant when the land will be worth hundreds of dol l lars per acre, and for stockraising will equal the hills of Scotland.
 "In the country I am telling you of we find the largest apple producing country in the world-yes, this coun- try produces the finest fruit. The saccharine matter or sugar, in the strawberry and red raspberry is greater than found anywhere else. The tomato is as solid and firm as the California orange.
 'The potato equals those of Wis consin and the cabbage is as firm and large as that of Oregon.
 The mountains rapid flowing streams will furnish the greatest power plans of any country known. It will be only a few years until you will find electric cars traversing the mountains from place to place, ac- commodating the traffic equal to the street car lines in the busy cities of the east.
