The AoulhMeaG.

We last week made u flying trip to
Wichita and thence to EldoradO. The
heavy rains have done much damage,
and we regret to state that the crops
are not so promising as we had ex-
pected and desired to see them. Pass
ing over the same route at this season
of the year summer before last, our
eyes were greeted with the finest dis
play of wheat fields we had ever
seen. On the road from Wichita
to EldoradO, thirty miles, we Judge
there is not more than half the area
in wheat as two years ago, and it is
not half so promising as then. The
bottom lands have been overlooked
and hundreds of acres of wheat and
corn look yellow and dead. We
saw a good many farmers planting
and replanting corn. In Wichita
considerable lakes of water are still
standing upon the ground, while the
grass and weeds look black as tar, al
most, where the water had stood. The
roads are bad. From Eldorado to
Florence there is not much wheat.
We saw three gangs of hands at work
grading the Florence and Eldorado
rail road, and some twelve or fiftee n
miles of the track Is graded. Large
piles of ties for this road are lying at
Florence, and we heard there that
trsck-laying had commenced. 1t is
o~Danfa6 RI hava tho wood Hpiaha1 70
Eldorado by the last OF July. At
that time the bonds voted in Butler
county expire. The road will I'M
doubtedly be finished then If the
work Is not hindered by the rain storms.
Eldorado people are rejoicing over the
prospects, and well they may, for their
road will undoubtedly make that q
lively town, at least while it stops
there. A considerable number of new
buildings are in course of construc-
ton. We met many former Empori-
ans at Eldorado. In fact, the town
seems to be made up largely of people
who have one time and another lived
here. We heard many regrets ex-
pEOSSCU IL1dJ LlO CApOSlCu IallEOAu uIO
not run from Emporia. A party of
Winfield gentlemen were in Eldora-
do trying to interest the EldOradO peO-
pie in a project 10 build TO that town.
This was their second VISIT. Eldorado
very properly seemed to think it
would be fully as well for them to have
the road stop there as long as possible.
They haYe worked hard to get it, and
now feel that they don't care to aid
it in getting away in a hurry. They
are undoubtedly sound on that propo-
sition.
The portion of the Cottonwood
valley passed over in day light was
from Florence to Emporia. The great
grain producing region in these coun-
ties is half drowned by the floods.
Many fields OF wheat looked bad, and
we should say there will not be q
half crop, unless q favorable proVI-
dence smiles at once. Coming into
Lyon We found the corn and wheat
looking better than anywhere on the
i road,
