in his vote back to Senator Hopkins.
He prefaced his remarks by declaring
he had believed Senator Hopkins not
in harmony with the Roosevelt admin

President Roosevelt for information.
He had obtained permission from Mr..
Roosevelt TO read the letter, which he
did. The letter was as follows:
Roosevelt's Letter.
White House. Washington,
February 10. 1909.
My Dear Ton: This letter must be
treated as confidential. as it is not my
business to interfere In state sena-
torial fight, but there is no reason
Why should not confidentially an

My understanding is that the popn.

favor Of Senator Hopkins. That be-

ploying inspectors. building dipping
vats. etc. You will note that section
2 gives you the authority to make the
levy without first having been peti.
toned, and that section 3, requires you
TO do so after having been petitioned
by majority of the voters of the
county, or any municipal townships
within the county. Your county is
above the state quarantine line and
we are confident that you realize the
Importance of this work and will avail
Of the provisions of sec
tion of the law and make the levy
at the July meeting.
Up to this time, nothing has been
done in the way Of tick eradication in
your county, except merely to require
cattle to be dipped before being al
lowed to come in from below the line,
this prevents tick infection from being
brought into the county, but does not
eradicate the ticks that are already
there, consequently you cannot ex-
pect to get rid OF the ticks and be
placed above the federal line until
dipping watts are established inspec-
tors are appointed and systematic
effort is made to clean up the county.

ting the benefit OF native markets foi
their cattle at all seasons of the year
without inspection, In addition to this
several counties have been placed In
the modified area and are getting the
benefit of native markets by inspection
the benefit of this work viii be more
fully appreciated when you figure the
difference in value on 10000 cattle
which have been placed above the
line, at a very low estimate. they are
worth $500 per head more than they
would be below the line. which would
amount to $2,25O, 100000.
The immediate benefit to your eoun-
ty by being placed above the federal
line would not be less than $50 100000,
in increasing the value of the cattle
that you now have on hand, and the
annual benefit after the county has
been cleaned would amount I'd at least
one-fourth that amount.
If your board is inclined to take adj
vantage of the provisions of this law
and will make levy sufficient to carry
out its provisions, the state board of
agriculture will gladly cooperate with
you in the work of furnishing an ex.
perienced man to work with inspectors
and in establishing quarantine lines
portecting your county from infested
districts during the progress of the
work.
We also have the assurance from the
federal authorities that they will as.
sist In the work to some extent and
will give you the benefit of the ma
tive markets without restrictions. as
soon as the county has been made free
from the cattle tick.
In making levy for this purpose,
| would suggest that you make it
sufficient to employ at least ten or
fifteen men, and to build an equal mum.

work may be carried ON as rapidly as
possible.
Hoping these suggestions will have
