 "This country looks good to me, :" said MT. Flint.

 What you want is well-founded sentiment in your people to boost things on every occasion. 'The-well-I don t-know' class, who would as soon or sooner knock deal as to push it along, appears to me to be your most serious drawback
 "This country could be set into boom that would be hummer, if only the people would work together to that end.

 "I would like to see you people get busy down this way and get what is coming to you in the way of imigra- tion.
