The sale closed at o'clock. 1t will
thus be seen that in less than two
hours over 1000 acres of land were
sold at an average of about $40 per
acre. Several purchasers were offered
bonus on their purchases. Colonel
Baker, who bought block 23, was Of
fered $500 bonus on his bargain. Mr..
Crawford was offered $3.50 bonus. The
sale will commence to-day at 10
O'Clock. Free conveyance will be fur
nished to all who wish to go to the
rancho. There will be a splendid
chance to secure farms to-day, as some
of the finest farming land on the West
side of the tract will be offered for sale.
This, owing to its distance from the
town, will probably sell cheap, COM
pared with Yesterdays prices. Some
of these prices may seem excessive;
but it must not be forgotten that most
of the land sold yesterday was near
the town site and in the best part of
the valley. Just as good farming land
will be sold to-day at probably not
over half the above figures. The ex-
ceedingly liberal endowments made
by the company to apublic school and
college added largely to the prices OBJ
tanned for the land. Centinela will
soon be a populous and prosperous

Something for the Council.

EDITOR HERALD: We have reason
for self-gratulation in the rapid manner
in which our city is improving, and
believe your assertion that within the
near future solid blocks of buildings
will be erected where farms are now
cultivated. Well,we have ample room
for expansion.
Yet l am sorry to see that there still
fingers relic of the old unprogressive
spirit that in the past hung as an in
cubus ON the growth of this city. l
mean the matter of street jumping-a
thing quite common in this angelic
town. There is an old and trite saying
tha6 one-half the world don't know
how the other half live; and it would
astonish the denizens of this village,
especially the newcomers, to know
that there are people here who in the
past have lived by street jumping. The
na0dus operandi is as follows: They
will get land on the outskirts of the
population and go to work unmolested
and fence in the streets, and when the
community needs them they sell out
to the city.
1t is said that one enterprising citi-
zen has grown rich in this way, and
yet has streets to sell and is now con-
templating the fencing in of the half
of one of our principal streets.
If you will look on the map of this
city you will see that Figueroa street
was laid out from one extreme of the
city to the other: that is to say six
miles long and SO feet wide, and it has
been jumped, sold and fenced in until
there is left of it only about mile,
and believe committee of the Coun-
Gil have reported in favor of slicing
that down some 20 feet to oblige some
people who have been encroaching
thereon.
Now have no suggestions to make
to our Woodworking Council, but if
they would be up to the progressive
spirit of the times and inquire how
many and what part of any streets
have been jumped or encroached upon,
they would do their constituents
great favor. ARGONAUT 80.

Grasshoppered Kansas.

The following notes we take from a
Kansas exchange, the Independence
Rdns0n, from which it would seem
that there has been a gross misappli-
cation of the contributions sent to the
sufferers of that State Or else somebody
is very jealous. 1t may be that some
good people East have been taken in
and done for:
/. When the "supplies" arrived at Elk
Falls. a chap who looked as if he had
been destitute for the last ten years,
wanted to know if they had "sent any
good licker."
1t is thought 10y many people living
in Howard that ring has been formed
in the Southern part of the county for
the purpose Of making stake off the
destitute supplies.
A man living near Elgin, Howard
county, received 500 pounds of flour for
hauling relief freight from the depot
over there. He made application for
more and getting it, offered the flour
for sale.
This Winter will be long remem-
bered by the Kansas lawmakers. AT
ter they had endured chinch bugs,
grasshoppers, dr0uth and independ-
ent voting, the mOnopolies had to
up and make them pay their railroad
fare.
A poor devil living south of town
wanted to know If that relief money
which is being sent to Topeka from all
over the East, would be loaned to the
destitute at anything less than three
per cent. month. He was assured
that If the destitute ever saw any of
that money, they would have to pay
the usual rates and give first-class Sc
curity, as the Topeka banks were very
cautious since the panic.
A person applying for relief, under
the head of destitute, in this section,
is expected to own l60 acres of land, 40
of which are in wheat; q good team;
three or four cows; several stock hogs,
farming implements, and to have pro-
visions and feed enough on hand to
keep the family and stock one year.
These rules are to be strictly adhered
to in all cases, excepting where man
is engaged in paying business not
requiring such things as lands, teams,
etc.
Now is the best time to come to
Kansas that has been known since
the days when we used to go through
Missouri smoke houses and corn cribs
on our way to emancipate the cOlored
population. The people in the East
are passing around the hat, sending in
grub and old clothes; lands are cheap,
and good times are coming. Ii you
don't want to work for a living you
can turn destitute and take it easy.
Horace Greedy didn't tell the truth
when he said, "Young man go West"
He is a liar, and if he will go down to
Coffeyville he'll get lick ed.
