We we're favorably impressed with the fact that
this young city ia now, and is bound to continue
to be, very important point. The rush of
business there is no doubt flattering to real es-
tate owners. 1t ought to be so. The large
brick hotel is a fine structure; and the new
brick erected by the proprietor Of the Chief" I"
with his residence attached, is S4.00O monu-

citizens will no doubt continue to appreciate
and reward him for his services. At the saw
mill we found Mr.. Mauck doing his best to
supply the demands made upon him; but the
call for his cottonwood is greater than ever,
and sometimes teams must 60 away as they
came. Mr.. Mauck hopes by another St ason to
bring on another stock Of the much more 1--WE

much pleased with our visit to the City Mills
the frank and gentlemanly proprietors Of which
speedily convinced US that the complaints we
had heard against the mills the past year, re-
suited from some evil beyond their power to
correct immediately-and of this We are fully
convinced. The fine assortment of furniture
at Fairall l. Maquilken's is proof that the peo-
pie of the country about are making progress,
and can now think Of having better buildings
them--a natural consequence of the increase
of wealth and prosperity in the land.
The City Mills, White Cloud, have again
come under the control of the real owners

great losses themselves during the past year.

No one who lives in any reasonable distance

Good roads are fine things. 1t costs money
to secure fine things Money can be obtained
by assessing the property of the people. This
every good citizen is willing to endure when
the benefit OF it all is mutual-for the public
good. This has been sad season for breaking
into our highways and thoroughfares. The
finest road We know of in Kansas between any
two points of travel at such distance apart,
is that extending from Hiawatha to White
Cloud. Nature has done her part in making
us a good track to the river. But whose fault
is it that so many "sloughs of despond" exist
all along the route, beginning quarter of q
mile or less beyond the village corporation
Everybody is annoyed by these evils, and load

the case of many of these places, two to FIVE
loads of stone would make substantial crossings
that would need but little attention for years
The fording at Roy's Greek should be abolish
