Since il is expected chat ali Who arrive

pursuit, ana as saw mlllS ana Svcam en-
gines must figure conspicuously in our
future history. We propose hasty walk
to the extensive manufacturing establish
ment of STIeGLEMAN, JOHNSON & Co..
lon Belle street. They are heavily engag-
ed in the making of steam engines. and
the various descriptions of saw mills
They give constant employment toeighty
hands, and turn off from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty engines and mill
machinery per year. Theirsales amount
to nearly sl5o,Ooo year. and are still
on the increase. Their machinery, We
are informed, has reputation far better
than that made at ST. Louis, and the
manufacturers should receive the entire
support of the people of the West. Per-
sons desiring mills. are invited to exam
inc circular and bill of prices at the
] Herald of Freedom Office. We are au-
.horized to forward orders, and viii be
happy to contract with persons in want
of engines or anything manufactured 81
their establishment. For particulars See
advertisement.
We will next PASS over to N. Hanson
d Co.'s large manufacturing establish
|
ment, on Front street, next to the river,
and inspect the threshers, separators and
horse-powers manufactured here, of Pitts
patent. The grain is taken in the field,
and is passed though this mill, and before
it ends its process, it is famed and de-
posted in the bags. The machinery is
simple and exceedingly durable, and
must be in great demand soon in Kansas,
when our people get to cultivating the
earthas they will do. This establishment
gives employment to some one hundred
and twenty hands, and is turning off,
this year, four hundred machines, worth
from $500 to 1895 each. They expend
over $4,000 year for labor, and
have capital of 100000 invested
in the enterprise. A machine will do
the work of thirty five men per day, and
will thresh three hundred and fifty bush
els of wheat in ten hours. 1t will afford
US pleasure to forward orders for these
mills. Persons by paying part in hand
can be waited on for the balance until the
separators are received in store in Kan
sas city. Call and examine circulars.
Read's patent mowers and reapers next
engross our attention. They have
been decided as superior to any other
machine of the kind in use, and are sold
in large quantities. The card has been
mislaid, but shall be re-6rwarded soon.
A mower will be sent to our care at Kan
sas City, or Lawrence, for the inspection
of those wishing to purchase. 1t will
afford us pleasure to forward orders for
our friends.
But no provision has yet ben made for
lumber. Please call near the depot of
the Chicago and Missippi railroad, and
you will find w. f. MILLER & Co., who
are deeply interested in the Kansas
movement, on hand with fine lot of pine
lumber, floor boards, sash, doors, blinds,
&c. He has large stock, and pledges
himself to make it an object with those
wishing to use seasoned lumber, in Kan
sas, to buy of him instead of buying in
St. Louis. He can furnish the best of
pine flooring, matched and grooved, and
planed on Doth sides, for $40 a thousand.
The cost up the Missouri to Kansas is
now SO a thousand. Allowing it to
cost another ten dollars to get it to Law
renee, and good pine floor will cost
but $50 thousand. A common black
walnut floor, lined, will cost $40 a
thousand, and then there is the shrink
age of the lumber, and the large cracks
in the floor to include in the disadvan-
tages of buying green lumber there for
floors. By allmeans purchase your floor
ing in Alton.

The weekly is large, tirst-class paper.
and, in consequence of its location, will
be able to supply US late news as early as
he ST. Louis papers. 1t is devoted to
our cause, and sympathises to the fullest
extent in favor of making Kansas free
! The editor was formerly supporter of
the Pierce dynasty, but alter the Admin
istration, headed by the ''tiMe giant,
had broke down the Missouri compro-
mise, he set up for himself, and now pub
lishes an independent paper. The Cour-
ier has taken hold with hearty good
will to aid US in getting the line of steam
boats on the Missouri, and as our friends
are deeply Interested in that movement,
we hope they viii send their subscrip-
tons to that Office. They are qualified
for doing large book and job work
