of. it from east to west. ; Besides the vast
tract of land to be given, to actual setlers
the State possesses about eight million
acres of school lands to, be sold to actual
settlers at $1.50 per acre, payable in ten
annual payments. t The Houston and Tex

five million acres, lying principally within
the line of the United States forts,

HOW TO HELP THE POOR. V
But I wish to get the large capitalists
interested in the subject. J wish to show
them how the four millions of idle person!
maybe profitably employed, not the bum
mers and tramps we don't want them in
Texas ; but those who are willing to work
I intend to show capitalists how they can
carry out a noble philanthropy and at the
same time make money for themselves.
Our plan is to get a numbei of capitalists
to buy a tract of say twenty thousand or
thirty thousand acres 01: land, ana sen
one-half of it to colonists, reserving every
alternate section or settlement. Sell these
homes to the colonist oh long time, at
cheap rates and low interest, witn tne
privilege of paying the 'whole of the pur
chase mony at any time he 'may be able,
of the j and thereby stop interest.
The company should iurnisti transpor
