LAWRENCE, St. 26, 1.569.
I ' have been travelling about for some ten
days in all directions from this city—scone
milernorthward, as far southward as Otta
wa—thirty miles, and to' Junction City
westward, and really were I asked which
part is best I could not tell. It is all:4yery
good. The broad level bottom of thetart
sas river has the richest and deepest soil—
in some places eight to ten feet of black san
dy loam; but nearly all the higher and roll
ing prairies have soil far- deeper than ever
the plough can reach. I think that for
wheat culture the higher lands are prefera
ble toe river bottom, as they certainly are
better r all kinds of fruits. They are more
tot
he
I and pleasant; the gentle undula
tions of occasional bluffs and knolls render
them extremely picturesque. The country
south of this city is) d ffl of farms, many• of
them well improve, while the numerous
streams are all broadly belted with timber.
From any little eminence their courses can
be ti aced by these belts of timber for many
miles, while the intervening grassy prairies,
cultivated farms, *sea, orchards and vil
lages, all combine to form magnificent land
scapes.
While at Ottawa I found the hotels
crowded with men in search of land. A
reference to the registers showed that Ohio
was more largely represented than any
other state. Next to that Indiana and Illi
nois, while the States further east had a few
representatives. 1 The Neosho valley is
thawing strongly, and so I am told is the
region around Salina, including the valleys
of the Salineand Salomon. Another strong
stream of immigration, is setting in towards'
the valleys of the Republican, theig Blue
i 3
and the intervening country. S me push
out far towards i the borders, whe e stock
• raising may be prosecuted to bett r advan
tage; while others seek locatio s where
they can at once enjoy social, ed cational
and religiout advantages.
Day before yesterday I took the train on
the Union Pacific Railway, E. D., o go up
to Manhattan and. Junction City, he latter
of which is three miles beyond F rt Riley,
and about one hundred miles wet of this
city. Manhattan is twenty miles t is side.
I was surprised to find so many pe pie trav
eling; and another thing whit ttracted
the attention of our little party—Judge Ag
new, of our Supreme Court, and his two
daughters, and a gentleman from St. Louis
-was, the marked intelligence and energy
of the passengers. It is no ordinary class
of people who are plishing their way into
this ma,snificent-region; and wh n, after a
few years of vigorous and well irected in
dustry, they Shall have improve 'it as such
men can improve it, there will probably
not be anything to equal it on th globe.
I find that very many who purchase lands
in the more settled parts, content them
selves with eighty acres, or half of a quarter
- section-80 by 160 perches, It i enough in
such a country as this where ev ry acre is
_ available, and where the, soil is so strong
that there is no necessity to leav it half the
time resting. I read not long ag an article
in an agricultural paper, in whit the writer
advised farmers to double the aantity of
their land, not by , doubling the number of
their acres, but by doubling the de th of their
I
ma. Measured by that rule, eighty acres of
• Kansas soil is a big farm. This contentment
,
with small tracts is wisdom on thOir part; for
the money which' they would be required to
buy another eighty acres can be better
employed in improving the first eighty.
Wealthy men may with proprietpurchase
more; but it is bad policy forcomparatively
a 317,
poor man to put nearly all his means into
land, which, when he has it, he isluttable to
cultivate, or to go in debt, and thnt keep his
nose to the grindstone at the l very time
_when he is least able to bear the operation.
'When I wrote some letters from Kansas
last year I spoke of the exceeding thrift and
beauty of frnit_trees in this State. This time
_I have had an opportunity of seeing and
tasting the fruit they produce; and I have
no hesitatien in saying that I never saw
such apples and peaches anywhere, especi
ally the latter. , The peach crop was very
abundant wherever there were old
'enough to bear. In, size, in flavor, in rich
ness of color and cleanness of skin, this is
true. Even - the seedlings surpassed the
finest I saw in Pittsburgh before I left home.
It is my impression that ere long the busi
ness of canning peaches will become impor- -
taat-and profitable one in this State. Grapes
do better here than any place I ever saw,
and for sizekand richnesa of bloom they excel
any I ever tasted. 'The highest grounds
are the best for them, as indeed they are for
fruit, of all kinds.
A nurseryman told me the other day that
the alanthus, which grows with great rapid
- ity here, is an excellent and durable wood
for fence posts, being only second to locust
and cedar. I expressed 'surprise at this,
but he assured me that it was so. They are
grown in great numbers by nurserymen.
The common locust grows very rapidly
until attacked by borers. One man told me
that where they are planted all over a field
like an orchard, only greatly more crowded,
the borer has little effect upon them. In
many parte of this State •cedars grow natur
ally. I have seen some cedar-posts.
Fruit trees are planted much closer here
, than with us. Twenty feet' asunder is
enough for-apple trees. TrOes seemito have
a kind of instinct; and where they' are re
quired to resist an almost constant breeze
'they grow more sturdy, and do not send
their boughs away off from the trunk as
they do with us. This is true of all trees,
but especially fruit trees.
The Osage orange is very largely Used for
hedges, and with the most satisfactory re
sult. Some farmers, however, prefer to en
close their fields with stone, which, on most
farms, can he done very well at moderate
expense. The magnesian limestone, which
is found in all the bluffs, make the best stone
fences I ever saw. This is because they
• generally lie in layers of uniform thickness,
-from four to fourteen and sixteerr inches.
Wire is pretty extensively used in the more
'Western settlements on new farms.] some
times three, but more frequently four,
strands are used, which are passed through
holes in the posts. These are set from eight
to fifteen feet asunder, and are frequently
- quite small. -
I intended to say something about the
lateral railroads of this State, but have al
i ready made this letter quite long enpugh.
In another, I must tell you what I saw at
Junction City, and other places upthe road.
Coming to Grier. - -
Dehnar, Abe statistician of the Treasur'
Department, is likely to come to , grief, so
far-as his tgures are concerned. The Sec
retary of the Treasury, says they are entirely
incorrect and mierepresent facts,
.cleneral
Spinner sari the true reeordkof tlie depart
ment will show that Delmar's' figures are
stelibei•ctee :falsifications: It' is understood
that a prominent , official
,of the „Treasury
Department will, at the request of the Sec
retary, prepare an official statement of all
items purporting to be given by Delmar.
This will be taken from the books and offi
cial records of the Department. and will
give a complete account of the receipts and
expenses of the Goverzuncrit.
The 011 Revival at Pleasantville. -
__The ,Titnaville Iferald prints a letter
dated September 24th, from which - we
note:
In this particular section, at the present
writing, politics are'eeldom thought of, the
people are so absorbed in oil. Everybody,
will talk of leases, and fee simples, and
fractional interest, and wells, productions,
etc., but politics are almost tabooed.
You have already heard that,-Pleasant
ville is the new land of promise—the Mecca
of every pilgrim. Six months ago it was a
delightful village of about one thousand in
habitants. There was a single hotel and
perhaps half a dozen basiness establish
ments. Everybody admired the handsome
gardens and pretty houses strung along the
road,'but if one had predicted that Pleas
antville was the site of the largest "oil
basin" yet discovered, he would have been
deemed a proper candidate for the nearest
lunatic asylum. Yet, indeed, it has so be
come. The , development 'of a hundred
barrel-well, at once-attracted the attention
of operators in general, and from that time
till the present there has been an incessant
tide of travel, and steadily increasing
investments at the great oil centre.
The population of the place has
trebled within the period ,indicated,
and the great problem has been how
,to accommodate the people. Hotels
and boarding houses are constantly filled to
overflowing, and the Chase House, a build
ing which originally cost seventy thousand
dollars, has beeh removed from Pithole, to
meet the necessities of the rising old me
tropolis. An opera house has been trans
ported from the same place and re-erected
here, and now does a better business in the
line of popular entertainment than Plthole
ever witnessed at the palmiest "stage" of
inflation. Forty or fifty hacks run between
Titusville and Pleasantville, a distance of
six miles, making three or four trips per
day, and loaded with passengers. Anybody
who is familiar with the daily panorama of a
thriving "oil town" will recognize many of
its characteristics in,Pleasantville. Horses
dragging themselves to death, drivers- ex
posed to all weather, carpenters piling up
derricks; drillers - dropping the everlasting
"thud," engines puffing, whistles scream
ing, petroleum spirting, machinery pound
ing, inn-keepers, cooks and waiters always
.on the go, grocers and merchants packing
and unpacking, speculators busy - at maps,
lawyers drawing papers and ferreting out
titles, boys hawking papers, hackmen yell
ing; but amid all this are the features of an
establisheA civilization, essential churches,
flourishing schools, home life, good fare,
comfortable rest, law and order, and a hal
lowed Sabbath; for Pleasantville, under, the
administration of Burgess-Beebe, is the best
governed town in the oil. region.
There are now about forty-eight wells at
Pleasantville,
and the oil production is be
tween 2,500 and 2,000 barrels per day.
There has been no single instance of failure
to pi ocure oil, and although the wells are
not large, probably none exceeding 153
barrels per day, there is but one other dis
trict in the oil region that has a larger daily
production. The oil is found mostly in the
fifth sand rock, at the depth of 825 feet. The
extent of the producing territory is still a
matter of conjecture, but the belt ranges at
least two and a half miles in width and has
developed longitudinally a distance of be
tween three and four miles. Such a field of
operations must require a long time to ex
haust, and after a careful survey of the gen
eral indications, I should estimate a-contin
ually increasing
production for at least a
year to come. Operators who took advan
tage of the early developments and secured
territory at a low price, have realized very
handsomely from the result of their invest
ments.
