The Daily Review. Towanda, Pa. Saturday, January !0, 1880. KDITORS : B. W. ALVOIiD. NOBLE N. ALVOIiD. " Oaily Review" only 515 ceniti per month. Try it. Western Lands. The Chicago Times , of a recent date, discussing western interests, speaks in this wise of Kansas and the Santa Fe Railroad : " Notwithstanding the fact that the papers of the day fairly teem with notes of the wonderful progress of the country beyond the Missouri River, the people of the older States may truly be said to be but merely in the rudiments of the arithmetic of western developments. A land grant road, the three millions of acres donated by Congress, and known as the Great American desert, would hardly have been accepted as a gift by other than the resolute, energetic men who laid the first rail on the old Santa Fe trail; but during IM7U the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe carried from and over the whilom desert 95,780 head of cattle, 187,444 head of hogs, 10,580,320 pounds of wool, 3,034,070 bushels of corn, all east bound. To illustrate the rapidly-growing importance of the market west, it may be said that 1,336,- 073 bushels of wheat, corn, and oats, and nearly 0,000 tons of hay went from the Santa Fe into Colorado and New Mexico during the year. With the choice of markets and demand for products both east and west, the farmer on the line of the Santa Fe road has advantages he can find on no other land grant road. Of its land grant the road has two mil lion acres yet on sale. The terms are easy—two, six and eleven years' time, with heavy discounts for cash and but 7 per cent, interest ou deferred payments. As the track is pushed further and further into New Mexico and its rich mining districts, and progresses nearer and near er Arazoua and its great mineral belts, the demand for the farm products of southwestern Kansas must become great er and greater. Las Vegas was reached some time since, and within a few days the road will be beyond the banks of the Rio Grande. These connections will be carried on rapidly to El I'uso del Norte, the stock of this important extension having been promptly taken. Beyond El Paso lies Mexico, and, whether they go to the ancient capital of that country or not, the far reaching plans of its enterprising managers em brace the province of Sonora and the port of Guaymas, on the Gulf of Califor nia, as well as a line across Arizona to the Pacific coast; and if the energy and enterprise which have hitherto character ized their movements do not fail them, they will redeem their promise of being the second line across tin* continent." C. F. NICHOLS, who is well-known all over this section, and who has spent some time in Kansas, will give informa tion in regard to the lands of the Santa Fe Co. We have also inspected their lands, and unhesitatingly pronounce them the best in the State. It has been generally published over the State that Hon. Elisha W. Davis of this city represented Bradford county in the meeting of the Stale Committee on the 30th tilt. This is ; n error. Mr. Davis was not at the meeting that day, nor in the city. Bradford county was represented by Hon. WilliamT. Davies of Towanda. The misstatement originally ttppeared in The Times of this city, which has thus far failed to correct it.— Phila. Press. During his tripthrohgh South Carolina General Grant is reported to have said : "There was but one private house burned by my orders during the war, and that was one where water was refused to wounded soldiers, in all my campaigns around Richmond there was not a single house burned except by accident or in violation of orders." Secretary Schurz recommends an appropriation of SSOO to purchase first patent ever issued in this county. It was to Samuel Hopkins of Philadelphia, and has the signature of George Washington.
