n. SimeOck, Of Council Grove, informs US that
he will be in the market in few days, with q
view Of keeping the wheat from being shipped
out of the State, only to shipped back again
next spring. The prospects are that all the
wheat in the country will be needed at home
before another harvest comes around; and
that the farmers will get fair figures for it all.
This will make money matters easier ere

FrAnklIn and Usage counties have alreat

Franklin and Usage counties have already
voted one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
TO secure the construction Of & railroad up the
MariAs Des Cygnes valley, in the direction Of
Emporia. Should Lyon county county give
one hundred and fifty thousand, and Butler
and Cowley each give two hundred thousand
dollars in bonds, the immediate building Of
the road would be assured. The distance
from Ottawa to Arkansas City via Emporia,
Chelsea, Eldorado and the Walnut Valley is
about les miles. Bonds voted g. above would
amount TO over four thousand dollars per
mile. The route being through valleys the
entire distance, this amount would grade the
road. Being through the richest portion OF
the State, capitalists would take hold and
build the road NJ once.

OPFIcB or TIE Kansas IMMIGRATION SOCIETY,"
1BAvENWoRF1s JULY ~, 1871
By act Of the last session Of the Kansas
State Legislature, an appropriation Of $4,000
was made, for the purpose Of exhibiting the
Agricultural products Of KAAsas ct the pro-
minent fairs to be held in the eastern States
for the year 1871. The Kansas Immigration
Society was charged with the the important
duty OF this contemplated representation Of
the State by its products.
1t has been decided that the greatest good
can be achieved by selecting but few points.
and making 1t each Of such places the most
complete and effective exhibition possible. It
Is believed that one great success, like onr
first exposition at Philadelphia, Is worth
more THAI any number Of moderate victories.
In order the make the effort State In char
ter, and equal In its benefits, 1t is important
that the greatest breadth OF the State be re-
resented by each variety exhibited. To do
this, each specimen will bear . plain label,
showing the country and (if POSSIBILITY the
township where grown, with the naRe Of the
producer. This plan Will do justice to all To-
calities and individuals who aid In the effort.
It Is quite impossible to make this effort 9
omplete success, without tide active co-opera-
ton Of some person or persons in each county.
To this end, appeal 70 all who are willing to
make q IittIe personal sacrifice for great pub
lie good. The Society cannot send its agents
over the State to collect samples, even If it
know where and to whom to apply. It must
rely upon local pride and interest to see that
samples are collected and forwarded.
Idesire to open q correspondence, 1T once,
with individuals throughout the State, who
are willing to aid this enterprise, and see their
respective localities properly represented. In
order TO complete all arrangements in time,
there should be no delay. Specimens Of grass
es, and some Of the cereals, should be secured
5t once. A circular will be sent to those who
respond to this call, with full particulars Of
the mode Of collecting, putting up and ship
ping specimens for exhibition.
Words cannot magnify the importance OF
this undertaking, nor will they impress the
necessity OF prompt local action IN the matter
| more than the nere announcement.
