CORRESPONDENCE

For the Vlnton Record.
Mr.. EDIToR:-While your pa.
per comes once a week regu.
larly, it also comes as welcome
as a letter. The contents.are
always devoured with pleasure,
and as Vinton county was my
former residence, perhaps a let
ter from me would be interest
ing, at least to some of your
readers.
Now / will give you a little
history of a good buffalo hunt.
On the 18th day of October a
party of US started from Paw.
nee City with the expectation
of game. Our company con.
sisted Of twenty. eight men, and
by the way | was one of that
number, with eleven wagons.
We travelled west one hundred
and eighty miles, then crossed
the Great Republican River;
then travelled seventy.fve or
eighty miles southwest until
we came to the headwaters of
what is called Solomon's Fork.
Here we came up to the buffa-
10. We could see them grazing
in every direction, and we went
into camp and started after our
game on horseback while two
or three teams were sent out
to bring in the buffalo beef.
We soon had three large buffa
loes killed andaoaded, ready to
start back to camp. And this
is the way we managed every
day until the eleven wagons
were all heavily ladened with
the choicest of buffalo steak, as
we only saved the best, while
we left the balance of the car
cases lying on the prairie tc
be devoured by the wolves
which were very numerous
Our party killed forty nine buf
falo, besides other game, sucl
as elk, antelope and wild tur
keys. Our mode of hunting
was to ride as slowly as posi-
Bile towards the buffalo unit
they started to run, then w
would put spur to our horse
and shoot while on the keel
run. Often it would take
half dozen shots to bring on
to the ground. When wound
ed they are very ferociouS an
some of our party ran a yer
narrow escape of being killed
Your correspondent was one {
, them. We killed some bufal
that was larger than any OK
ever saw. We weighed tn
steak we took from one buff

i. dred pounds. We brought j

| meat, besides a fine lot OF robe

EditoriaI CORRESPONDENTS,


A trip to this beautiful city
has Been so shortened by rail
roads, and withal is so easily
made, that when one has reach
ed the station he has accom-
pitched the toughest and most
difficult part OF the journey
From there it is a comfortable
ten hours ride in luxurious
cars over a smooth road. AT
the indianapolis e Cincinnati
function you change cars, but
tits merely stepping from one
car to the other, and your bag,
gage has alreadybeen re check.
ed to its destination by the
agent Of the |. d o. road, who
waits upon passengers in their
seats before reaching the juno
ton. We have often heard
persons remark that they would
visit friends or relatives in the
West, but they we're afraid to
undertake the journey. If
these good timld people would
but once start, their fears
would soon vanish. Railroad
officials, with an eye to in
creasing the amount of travel,
spare no pains to accommo-
date, and see that passengers
are not delayed or do not go
astray from the closest route,
Persons visiting the West
from cur section of the State
would of course go to Cincin-
natl by the Marietta & Cincin
natl road; and, by the way, the
M. & G. is looming up among
the roads of the country and
becoming rapidly popular as a
through passenger route, as
their full through trains and
upwards Of $4,000 increased
passenger receipts over last
year shows. This is a good
showing for our old friend John
W. Pillsbury, General Passen>
ger Agent, in the first year of
his administration of that de-
partment. OF course he has had
the improved condition OF the
road 10 assist him in drawing
passer gers, but it has taken a
deal OF labor in establishing
agencies, and in judicious ad-
vertising, to turn the attention
of the public towards this
route. Everybody said Pills
bury would be just the one to
do this, and his host of old
friends along the road are now
rejoicing that tie fruits of his
labors are so soon seen.
But l commenced to tell the
best route to the West. From
Cincinnati you should take the
indianapolis, Cincinnati & La
fayette r. r for indianapolis,
Terre Haute, st. Louis, Chicago,
or points intermediate or be-
yond, as you will thus save
the expense and vexation Of
omnibuses, and the consequent
delay and re.hand,ing OF bag
gage. This road is as good as
the best, provided with all
modern appliances for comfort
and safety.
The first feature that strikes
your eye is the stir and hustle
of the people along the route
The rapid march Of improve
ment is seen upon every hand
Hundreds of new buildings are
going up; hundreds are being
enlarged or repaired-all look
newly painted, yards clean
fences erect, ut.buildings neat
The way.stations of a few
years ago have grown to vii
lagos, the villages have grown
to towns, and the towns t
q thriving little cities. The rail
road is the great modern powe.
which fosters and forwards thi
prosperity. Our people wei
know that we can not keel
pace on our old mud roads,
They are a relic OF the past
too slow for the age in whicl

till6 pOlnC- 10 IL any Woiiue'
then that IL has grown from
town of 1000 inhabitants il
1850, to a city of $4,000, with
its wooden mills, rolling mills
starch factories, glass factories,
machine shops. five story steam
printing Offices, and hundreds
of smaller establishments busy
manufacturing all manner Of
articles. But for its superior
railroads facilities Indianapo-
lis could not manufacture rrof
itably. Macarthur has superior
natural advantages, but it all
goes for naught by the side Of
enterprise. Think Of Indian
apolis buying our iron, trans
porting it here and rolling it
into bars, getting their power
from PiLtsburg coal at % cents
per bushel.! Can you see any
reason in this why we should
push our new railroad to a
speedy completion9 The man.
ufactur:ng, with lis noise and
smoke, is confined principally
to the southern and western
portions of the city, while the
residences are in The northern
portion, where they can and
do live as clean and comforta
bly, as In some quiet village
Some of these residences are
palaces, costing as much as an
hundred thousand dollars. We
like to see these magnificent
houses; they are fair to look
upon, and the building of them
puts money in the pockets of
poor people. But the pleas
ATTEST feature of this portion
of the city is the care taken by,
all classes of their yards. We
have not seen a mean, dirty
looking yard in indianapolis,
and most of them are really
beautiful, showing scrupulouS
care and good taste on the part
of their owners.
Public improvements of all
kinds keep pace with private
enterprise. Gas and street
railroads are two of the older
but most useful features. The
Holly water works pipes are
being laid, a Court House,
which will probably cost halt
a million before it is completed,
has been commenced, Nichol.
son pavement has been laid on
Delaware street, churches rep
resenting all the denominations
and all styles of architecture
are building. All this costs
money. We saw an advertise
ment in one of the papers no
tifying a nonresident that the
tax on his property on account
of the Nicholson pavement was
1928, and unless paid by a GER
tain time the property would
be sold by the city. One front
of the Court House square is
on this street, and the county
pays a tax of $4,000 on account
OF the Nicholson. The proper.
ty owners along this street
generally gladly pay the cost
of the impro vement, as it more
than pays them back in the en-
HANGED value of their property.
In the midst OF all this i'm
provement stands the old Indi
ana State House, a wood cut o
which adorned the geography
of our schooleboy days, a relic
of the past, too small, worn GU
and with a dilapidated appear
ance generally, but still occu
pied. Judged by its Stat
House, Indiana would be thu
meanest State in the Union
bat happily that would be
