You ask what will settlers do tor
fuel In such region? They don't need
one-Iourth as much as people require
in Ohio, and Kansas and the Colorado
mountains are full of coal. This cOun-
try, however, Is likely 70 be reserved
for herding chiefly, for many years
hence. Kansas has 81 ,0OO, 900 acres of
most desirable lands--of which 10000
OOO are In bottoms, and most of which
will be occupied before the "plowman
homeward plods his Weary way" in
this now blank region. But then il Is
not So far away after all Denver, on
the Pacific railroad, the centre of a
rapidly increasing population, Is less
tnan POO miles away. Santa Fe, too, in
the heart of rich country, opens a
vista that Is likely TO be considered by
shrewd emlgrants. There will always
be poor emigrants Who will want
cheaper lands, and who will look here
for them when the market advances in
kansas. Show men the shining col
umns OF vigorous corn, and the golden
sheets of wheat chasing over the high
pillows of Kansas in gay luxuriance,
and IL will prove to them that the mar
rage of the sod of Colorado with the
pillow OF the farmer will produce like
results.

no class of people on the road took
more pains 10 honor the editorial Visi-
tors or to show their own resources
than did the Kansas editors. The Atch-
ison Champion, published on the morn
ing OF the start, gave full list of the
editors in the party, with some humor-
Gus illusions To the purpose of their
journey, and sent copies OF its issue for
distribution. The Champion issued on
the day OF the return devoted several
columns To explaining to the visiting
editors the glories and resources OF
Kansas in general, and of AtchisOn in
particular. The Valley Falls New Era
cOntented itself with distributing cop
les OF It's new "kronO," the deYiee of
which was suggested by the grAsshop-
per visitation. The Kansas Farmer,
printed at Topeka, also distributed
copies of is highly agricultural and
mechanical "crOw-mo." The Topeka
Commonwealth gave hearty and
somewhat humorous greeting to the
editors, and deprecated the idea that
Southern Kansas was everything, and
Topeka nothing, saying that town
which, like Topeka, set out 20 acres of
forest trees in one afternoon, 10 the
music of band, could not be put down.
The Usage City Free Press issued an
extra, in which the glOries of Usage
City and county were proper ly- set
forth. The Marion County Record and
Chase County Leader had also written
up their respective counties, partly for
our benefit. The EmpoFia NEWS, with
= two-column description of the place,
and other matter of similar charac-
ter, was sent 30 miles for distribution
ON the train. The Peabody Gazette,
with an account of MIR. Albert Cranes
great stock farm, was also distributed.
The Wichita Beacon and Eag lie gave us
lOuble-leaded greeting, and the former
was sent 90 miles in order to meet the
train, and give carly information of
the order of exercises ut that place.
Even the Great Bend Register and
Larned Record, published way beyond
what some people think are the borders
ders of civilization, took pains that we
should be informed of the advantages,
claims and resources of their localities.
