Some time since we called attention TO tn,
extraordinary facilities Possessed by Wichita
| for the manufacture OF paper barrels and box
es and similar utensils. The waters OF the
LtIlo river, which are very suitable, could be
taken up, used, and then poured or drained
into the Big river, while a. to the raw mate
rial, there will be straw enough in this
valley to run several large factories, or late
seven patents have been issued upon thr man
utacturc Of these articles. The material used
is straw and the barrels, boxes and utensils
made are superior in finish and tougher than
wood. The Scientific Auvicaa Of May Goth,
contains a long and interesting article upon
the Development and Importance Of this new
industry, which must become especially valu-
able and profitable in country where wood
i. scarce.
DR. Ray, OF whom we made mention in a
former issue, as being here, the guest Of W. c.
Woodman, returned from a trip up the valley
and made Us friendly call last Monlay Mr. |

We don't know his name nor vet whore he
was from-the man who preached At Eagle /
Hall last Sabbath. but we are alive TO the
fact that his sermon OF Sabbath morning is
seldom slraled for compactness. comprehsn-
