Last Monday, after dinner,
while Mr.. lockwood and Mac Cor
yell were talking together in the
stable yard of the later, a spark
from one of their pipes fell on some

in reply to numerous enquiries, to
say that the new town of Raymond
is on the Atchison, Topeka q Santa
Fe railroad, one hundred and TWEEN
tY-five miles west of Cottonwood
Falls, in Rice county. 1t is seventy
five miles from Newton, thirtY-five
miles from Hutchinson, fifteen miles
from Peace and seventeen miles
this side of Zarrah, on the bank of
Arkansas river just at the lower
end of the "big timbers." We call it
a very handsome point. The val
ley there is as rich as the Cotton
wood or Neosho, and very broad.
North eight miles, is Cow creek,
with timber, water and one of the
best valleys of land in the State.
Then we have Little Arkansas, JAR
Wis creek, sc.
But very few claims have been ia
ken, and just as good land as exists
in the State Is now open to home
homestead and pre-emption. The
Salina, Atlanta & Southwest rail-
road will cross the Arkansas at Ray
mond, and it is destined to become
one of the best towns in the State.
Rice county now numbers about
one thousand inhabitants, and is
settling up very fast; coming in
from the Kansas Pacific, they are
principally in the north part of the
county, and, as l said, but few
claims are taken along the line of
the A, T. 81 s. r. road.

j. L. Crawford. of this coun-
| tyhas invented a governor for regu-
lating the speed of wind mills that
is pronounced by men of long ex-
perience in mechanism to be the
improvement of the age. The contri-
vance opens and closes the fans as
the wind raises or lulis, keeping the
motive power as regular as clock.
Also, when used to run a saw mill,
or other machinery, where necess-
airy, the speed can be slackened or
increased as desired. Mr. Crawford
has been projecting this for the past
ten years and has finally succeeded.
