ing into existence OF the Job on
Havilapd. In fact. were the wishes
of the latter effective, there would
be nothing doing in public print, for
Haviland desires, in the present in
stance r silence.
Interviewed yesterday in his rooms
which he said he could not nor
would not leave, killing the question
as to ability, Conductor Haviland
said that his gun notches would have
to be extended. He also muttered
something about half of the pay roll
going up in n night. About all of
which nobody knows anything except
Hank Fulmer and AL Henderson, the
latter of the Antler Cafe.
There r no witnesses to this
left except Charley Greenhalgh, of
the News, who on pain of death, made
oath last night that it was all true.

OF course Haviland denies 1t, but at
the same time a great many who
know the very popular conductor as
sert that as a matter of fact he did
dine in the Antler cafe with a couple
of friends about 1880. It is also a
matter of record that Immediately
thereafter the bar receipts of the
Antler were heavily swollen. It is
not recorded Herewith that the
China goods man spent any of his,
but the things you grasp therefrom
are in that direction. OF course,
Haviland got no duck. What he got
AS soon as he discovered

fit, while Haviland Just died. 1t was
done-and a most remarkable pro-

the Ant1er cafe. If you do not think
so, come over and see us, and we
wilt serve you some in proof. Mean
time, Havfland, who is the great big
thing about town and can tell you
about the world at large than
anybody else we know about, and
is especially good in the line of eats.

It can not close this letter without
referring to certain other matters
connected with your conduct of the,
interior department, which have been
unfairly used in the public press to
support "a general charge that you
are out of sympathy with the de-
clared policy of this administration
following that of President Roose-
welt in favor of the conservation of
natural resources, especially in con-
nection with the coal lands, with
water power sites and with the sys-
TEN 0 reclamation of arid lands,
which are all within the jarisdic-
ton of the interior department.

"In my judgment he is the best
riend of the policy of conservation
who insists that thvery stop taken in
that direction should be within the
law and buttressed by legal au-

consistent with the whole hearted
and. bona fide interest and enthu-
siasm in favor of conservation. From
