devoted largely to a discussion of the

Not Thought Serious.
For a time it was believed the
wound was comparatively trivial. AL
though the cartridge was charged with
high-power powder, the bullet was of
small caliber, and the physicians
hoped it had not gone very far into
the mans body. In this they were
greatly surprised, as it had not only
gone well in, but it had done consid-
cradle damage to the surrounding It's
sue and organs. Mr.. Kinley was new
er free from pain, and at times the
pain was acute, but until a day or two
ago there was every indication hat he
would recover. Then complications

MEN AT THE HEAD
ARE OF RIGHT SORT

carried on a colonizing proposition in
the Pecos valley, in New Mexico, near
my residence for many years. l am
taking the liberty to drop you a line,
trusting that you will assist these peo-
pie in every legitimate way for the
great returns your state will receive
through their efforts. They have al
ways been able to connect themselves
with people of means and to interest
them in the lands theylare colonizing,
which means more rapid and better
development of such land.
Shrewd Business Men.
Lands will develop much quicker
under such a system than they will
under the system of simply bringing
in settlers from time to time as they
see fit to nov These men are very
shrewd business men, and l take it
that if they purchased any land in
YOU country it must be good land.
Six years ago nearly all of the land n
the Pecos valley in New Mexico was
dry, arid, uncultivated range land,
with a few settlers here and there,
who were making no progress what
ever because they were too poor to
develop the lands. or even to make a
living OIL them.
Hundreds of Artesian Wells.
BY the efforts of these gentlemen,
men Of mean became interested and
came into the country, and as a re-
suit more than 500 artesian wells at
a cost of from $1,000 to S. 900 each
now exist in that country, and numer-
u irrigation projects have been CON-
pleted, and thousands Of acres of land
have been put in cultivation. l have
no doubt that the country is from five
to ten million dollars richer now than
when the Tallmadge brothers under
took their operations there six years
ago. In other words, they replaced
settlers who were too poor to cultivate
the land, with men of means, who did
enrich them by reclamation and cult
walton.
Should Be Encouraged.
These gentlemen are friends of
mine, and while l am anxious to see
them succeed in any line of business,
l am also anxious you should under
stand that in my judgment it would
be highly to the interest Of your peo-
pie to encourage them in all legitimate
lines. They are men OF some means
themselyes. and they do not do bust
ness with people who are not able to.
make your country better and richer
by coming to It. All their clients are
men of means, able to buy the lands
and able to improve them.
Yours truly,
