Hatch's letter follows:
Bartlesville, Okla, April s, 1911
Editor Courier: Through the kind
ness Of my brother, Herbert Booz, we
received a copy Tor rather package)
of the expansion edition of the OF
tumwa Courier and are proud of It,
1t certainly is good advertisement
for your city. Way down here in
sunny Oklahoma we often meet with
people who know of or have been in
Ottumwa, and this is what they al
ways say: ooh, are you from Ottum-
wa, Ia. Well, say, that ia a good town,
is It not ?'sa>While other say: ooh, OF
tumwa; yes, that Is the best town in
the state of Iowa" So you see what
reputation your city has away from
home.
I want to say, if you want to see
your town grow and business increase
put in your interurban railway. Ispeak
from our own observation in our city.
Although we have only $4,000 inhabi-
tants we have an interurban line from
Bartlesville to Dewey and to Shelter
town and are now expecting to soon
be connected with Caney, Kas., and
Coffeyville, Kas. Get your hustlers
out and build that interurban railway.
We were certainly pleased to know
that the republicans won out in your
recent election. Let the good work
60 on.
Hoping you may have a much larger
and again complimenting
you on your edition, I am
Respectfully yours.

sports. Lack Of interest is the great OBJ
stacle they have to overcome. Any one
Of the other major sport teams can bring
out a bigger squad OF candidates than
the football team. AS q result Cornell
has never made a consistently good show
ing on the gridiron. The present plans
provide for the retention of Dan Reed
last year and his friends think he will
come near turning out q winner this
time
In order to arouse interest in the spring
foot ball practice prizes have been Of
fered for kicking contests this spring.
The results have already brought salts
faction to the foot ball committee and
1t Is tho expectation that practice will
start this fall under the most promising
conditions. The lthacans have a very
heavy schedule this year and it will re-
II creditably.
! One of the odd things about intercol-
legiate spring foot ball practice is the
fact that the University Of Pennsylvania
has held none and does not intend to.
The Quakers explain that they cannot
arouse enough interest among the foot
ball men to get them out for work IN
the spring. and rather than have q pool
practice they will have none at all. An
apathy is the fact that the Quakers
have very limited room for practice. In
fact, their field Is only i've acres in area
and it is monopolized by the base
ball and tracks teams. More practice
ground Is the one crying need of the
athletes at the University Of Pennsyl-
yania and 1t is expected that a move
ment now under way will improve con-
ditfons at the Quaker university.
