MESSRS, EDITORS —In a late issue of your worthy paper, taken from the Chica go Times, (which is a fair exhibit of wes tern enterprise,) I notice some important statistics of the business of the A. T. & S. F. RR. Co. which traverses the richest and most fertile sections of Kansas. The business of that railrond is immense and the settlement of Kansas is beyond a par alel in the history of the settlement of this country. The vast settlement of Kansas is largely in consequence of the energy of that company pushing their line of railroad to the remote West, opening it up to settlement. All along their line of road large cities and towns have sprung np, supported by a vast ag ricultural population of the most progres sive, industrious and intelligent people of our country. I have spent 8 months in Central Kansas, have traveled hundreds, and even thousands, of miles by rail, stage hack, horseback and on foot, visit ing the homes of the farmer and of the business men in towns and cities, and I can say that the most intelligent, pro gressive people of our country have taken Horace Greeley's advice and goue West. Twenty years hence men will point with pride to their homes in Central Kansas. The agricultural outlook for Kansas is grand, having a rich soil, a genial climate and markets for farm products superior to any State in the Union. The western demand for the products of the farm are better than the eastern, and will be for all times from the fact of the continued draught in Colorado, compelling all fanners to irrigate their lands, an expen sive and unprofitable business at this day and age of this country. Colorado has a vast mining population that must be fed from Kansas the nearest point and most direct route via of the Santa Fe liR. The last year that Company has shipped 1,8815,073 bushels of wheat, corn and oats and 8,000 tons of hay to Colorado. The Company now has about 1,400 miles of railroad including their branches from the main line and they are still pushing their road " further and further into New Mexico and its rich mining district and as it progresses nearer Arazona and its great mineral belts the demand for farm pro ducts of southwestern Kansas must be come greater and greater." 1 have spent my life in agricultural pursuits and I can say to my fellow farmers who expect to make their future home in the west that no better section than central Kansas can be selected. It has the climate of Nor folk. and Richmond, Vn., and HSHI Fran cisco, Cal., and a deep rich spil ed with gypsum and lime tjie elements of soil necessary to a vigorous and sf.roug. growth of the different generally good and the country ret from malarial finer. J During my stay of 8 Jfiatfsas I scrutinized closely the qjgrd the productions the ram fall . üb j tire health of the Arkansas Valley or Kansas and my convictions fh*t. no better portion of the state cai|jafi for a home. The A. T. &S. F. over 2,000,000, acres of the mdst y ro&iet ive lands in the' state for said at prices within the reach of any who desire ft home in that section. The terms 2, 8, and 11 years at 7 per cent. with large discounts for cash. If should desire Maps, Agricultural and statistics showing the progress, iMd* improvement of that section 1 will fully furnish them. Address fiic t* Davis Place. F.lmira. N.
