Americans travel In Europo expressly for research, plcasuro, health and recreation, from which they obtain a glimpso of tombs of kings, poets and phllosophors. Not be- ng satisfied with tbo traditional knowlodgo of thoso mythical sages they excavato their tombs and entombed cities with n hopo of perfecting a sclcnco which can bo ot no practical utility to tho present generation, except to gratify a curious ambition. But wo do not propose to travel co9t to And Sntlna, and It Is not halt so far as Koine, Egypt or Palestine. Besides there Is to bo found on thoso western plains relics of an extinct species of animals much larger than umbo. Tho three-fourths of travelers In America aro In pursuit of tho advantages and resources of wealth, In which the country abounds, nnd gtvo llttlo heed whether tho souls of tho mythical gods ltvo n the stars or are burled In tho earth with tho body, nnd think that the man who can scotn tho features of a monkey n scmblonco of his original prcgnlturo must have a con tracted Idea of deity In establishing his re lationship. Tho people of Sallna do not uso profano langung,-, neither nro they ad dicted to strong drink. They believe in Snllnn and In female suffrage. Thoy havo n soil ot a most fertile quality, from two to three feet deep, which appears to bo made of different strata or deposits of different periods. About two feet of tho surface Is vegetable soli, Immediately underneath for nearly two feet, a marl containing mag nesia, under which, for nbout two feet, n yellowish clay, apparently rich of soil, un der which Is n dark or black vegetable loam, then comet a plastic blue clay. Tho stone used in building seems to be a red sand stono and niagueslan lime stone. Tho lat ter Is much used and gives a fine and dura ble appearance. Brick nro also used, which nro of a yellowish appearance, con taining llttlo ot iron barltcs, but hard and durable with smooth surface susccptlblo of paint. Sallna lies sufficiently high for easy drainage. Tho streets arc wide and cross at right angles, and aro shaded principally with cotton wood, maple and box elder In great profusion. The houses are built of brick, stone and wood, chiefly of Arkansas pine, a very excellent quality, built in Queen Anne stylo nnd modern plana of architecture and finuli as can bo seen In our Itirucr elites. Educational advantages are not surpassed In nny city of Its dimensions. The Mcth odlst College, situated ut tho south terminal of Santafee avenue, which avenue, being the principal street of the city, Is ono bun dred feet wide and two miles or more in length. At tho north terminal is to be erected nn Episcopal Training College, Tho two Institutions nro to be connected by a street railway, part of which is already in operation. The Normal University, situ, atcd at tho west end of Iron avenue, which street crosses Santafee at right angles, which crosstng is tho centre of business of the city. The schools of Sallna nro of first grade and altogether amount to nearly half million in value of property. Tho churches, a scoro in number, of various denominations, arc built tastefully and con venient. The Lutheran, in which I heard a sermon of a Sunday, reflects credit upon the liturgy. There aro many prominent buildings two, three and four stories built ot brick and stone. Among them are the Masonic Temple, Odd Fellows' Hall, Opera House, Court House and tho several hotels. Tho National Hotel Is designed when completed to competo or surpass In elegance, to have an elevator, steam heat ing and all the modern conveniences. The present hotel system is not adequato to the public demand, neither does thcro seem to be tenement houses enough. In the whole city I did not see one vacant building or room. The several banking houses, both natioual and private, having liberal capital, aro in excellent repute and considered safe for all business transactions. There are three flouring mills, which have a dally ca- pacity of fifteen thousand or moro barrels, and there are many factories of various kinds. The Smoky Hill River Is a narrow, sluggish stream, very deep and sinuous, making about live miles for a half tulle In a straight line. Its banks aro high and covered with abundant shade of walnut cotton wood and maplo festooned with wild grape vines, which are being trained around the trees to form scats and lounges and to continue growing, a most dcslrablo resort on a high day. The land surrounded by the curvatures of tho river affords dcslr able sites for residences, parks and boule vards, for which improvement is being rapidly made. Tho whole couutry is not one level plain, as many Eastern people suppose, but is d'viucu into yaueys ui many miles In extent, of the finest farming land in tho world. Tho dividing ridges, as seen from the cars, havo an out croplng of magncslan llmo stone in layers ot a foot or moro in thickness and easily quarried This stone would indicate tho underlying of coal, but sometimes far removed However, thero aro other ovidences of tho presence of coal, In fact, they havo dlscov. ered coal. In a thin layer, within a few miles, which is an evidence of grcale abundance near. The people aro chiefly Anglo-American and not of tho bavidas nationalities as found In many other West crn cities, Pennsylvania being largely rep nsented, and all thrifty and prospering. was most agreeably surprised by an Inylta- tion to dlno with Mr. Thomas Ritter.whose wife is iho daughter of Moses Wright, for merly of Llghtstrcet, and a former patron of mine. Mr. Wright, with his sou Thomas, Is now located ten miles south o Sallua. Their farms Join Mr. Hitter's. had tho pleasure of visiting them nnd see. Ing their tluo stock. I also dined with W, Sturdevant. Ills wlfo is the daughter of Peter Shook, formerly of Llghtstrcet, and a former patron. Messrs. Hitter S bturdo. vaut aro in tho hardwaro buslt.css in Sallna and have n lino storo. As an evidence of tho rapid speculations, several pieces of property wero pointed out that had been bought and sold twico or thrico in as many months, each timo nearly doubling in prlco, Twenty acres, on tho southeast border ot tho town, were bought on tho day I arrived and divided Into lots 50 ft. by 135 ft At tho close of the week tho lots were nearly all sold. Tho same week twenty acres on tho west border wero purchased and aro now on the market in lots for sale. Thcro wero dulto a number of transfers made during tho week. As an lustancc, twenty, five feet, fronting near the bujlncss center. was bought for tivo thousand dollars, an a contract made for n thirty thousand-dol lar building, to be put up Immediately good field tor real estate nnd money brok era, and thero aro plenty of them. I made the acquaintance of Messrs. Fltzpatrick and Young. They do a largo business and are gentlemanly and attentive. Also, Mr. Keefcr does a largo business) almott an old acquaintance, too, I remember his father's farm, near Dickenson Bcmlnary, A most generous gentleman to tho school boys In way of apples, which, no doubt many of tbo old boys In Bloomsburg still remember. Bcllna is a metropolis. It Is a focus or center of several railroads In operation and others constructing. Also, tho geographical center ot the state, one hundred and eighty miles duo west from Kansas City on the Union Paciflo lino. Merchandise, In al. most every conceivable branch, Is carried on. In tho many stores, eomo of them ot largo dlmenslons,thcro can bp bought tooth Icks or broad-toed shoes, nnd dresses ot various grades, for both gentlemen and la dles, even, to crown tho bend with a cono or a chrysalls-slinpcd hat, also Implements of every description used In farming and mechanical arts. Thcro nro largo elevators, for tho storago of grain, the products of many miles surrounding, Tho many ad vantages already Improved, and vastly many moro to bo speculated upon, havo at tracted thousands of Eastern peoplo In the past year. It is claimed a population of luo thousand, and in tho next two and a half years, twenty thousand. Tho lncicase in values has been phenomenal, considering tho steady growth of tho city.
