lilo, Texas.)

The following discussion will brief
ly outline the beauties and possibilt-
ties OF this great country of ours.
Reports have gone out AT various
times that this section Is waste,
and arid region. that II never rains
and that II has no future. The fac.
really is, there is not another tract
Of land in the United States that Is az
well adapted for farming or has as
great future.
Practically the entire area of
northwest Texas is tillable. Let us
stop for n moment and think OF this
beautiful tract OF land, larger than
the state of New York, with a deep
rich soil OF inexhaustible fertility and
unsurpassed beauty, bounded In It's
vastness by It's far-rcaching horizon
and broken in vision only by tn,
home OF the settler. This was origin
ally the home OF the buffalo, the ante
lone and the deer. Today, many of
the best farmers from east Texas and
other states are finding out about ont
possibilities, and are very rapicly set
Ting among us.
Conditions Are Favorable.
Our climate Is ideal. The winters
are short and mild. The summers are
long and warm, but on account OF an
almost constant breeze. the heat is
unnoticed The nights are always
cool and refreshing.
In many sections, the SC II IS deep
rich, clay loan: In other sections II IL

teen inches TO three and four foe.

 The testimony of Mir. Roosevelt in the nature of things will not be any more clarifying than the statements of Archbold and PenrOse have been There will still be left the insoluble question of Veracity.
 MT Roosevelt's letter to the then Chairman Cortelyou prohibiting the acceptance of contributions from the Standard Oil company cannot have that weight with the public that he himself attaches to it for several req sons. It would be only Self-serving evidence It might have been written at the date it bears and it might have been written at another date. On that point we would have only the word of the colonel and MT. Cortelyou.
 After all this fact stands out to rob it of any value it might otherwise have: the date it bears was subse- quent to the time when the Standard oil money was alleged to be contrib uted, after it was spent, and after the date on which MT. ArchbOld says d request for more was denied.
