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

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.

A quorum of republicau Senators and
Members of the Maine legislature met in
1 the State House at Augusta on Monday
evening and proceeded to organize by
the election of officers.
The question whether they or the fus
ionists constitute the legal body will now
;be submitted to the Supreme Court. It
j looks very much as though Garcelon
has been check-mated, and that right has
;at last triumphed.in the Pine Tree state.
Word With My
Customers,
Two years ago, when I came
j among you a stranger, you kind
|ly extended to me a generous
patronage, and our relations have
been of the most cordial and I
trust mutually beneficial charac
ter. I am certain you have all
shown me that you were friends
indeed, and I have striven to
merit your confidence and pat
ronage, and now being about to
return to my old home, not be
cause 44 I love Ceaser less, but
Rome more," I desire to give
you all some evidence of my ap
preciation of your friendship, and
have decided to offer my entire
| stock of GENTLEMEN'S FUR

never visited my store, I remain
Failhfully Yours,
