The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1877-06-15

Mr.. G. ID. Ruggles informs us that he has
just put into Nash's new mill four Of E. b.
Brooks New Cylinder gate water wheels, and
that they excel any water wheels he ever put
into any mill. They tried one to-day just to
see what il could do and with feet and 219
inches head of water, it ground at the rate OF
1915 bushels of wheat per hour. This wheel is
only 80 inches in diameter and uses 142 square
inches OF water. This wheel is really great
success, and it would be for the interest Of
millers who want the best water wheel made
to inform themselves as TO It's merits before
purchasing. 1t is manufactured by Il. b..

The divide between the Saline and
Solomon rivers is fast filling up. The

In going over the divide toward Chap

A view of Chapman's creek valley Is
splendid sight. The country from the

field is well settled up. We came over
this section twelve years ago and there
was but one settler Cd the route from
Clay Center to Solomon City. Now il
is well settled country-we say hurrah
for Clay and Dickinson counties. Sure
ly the herd law has done them a: sweet
favor.
Davis has come out of her old fogy

ton City is the same little burgh OF
years ago, some changes, however.
Old firms have passed away and new
ones have come. Quite an extensive salt
enterprise Is being started there by a
Mr.. A dams 4 Son from Philadelphia.
They are putting down an eight inch
tube; they have gone down one hun
dred and forty feet and expect to go
eight or nine hundred feet to reach the
main strata of lime. The city had pros
pected to the depth of five hundred feet
and obtained very good article. Saw
a few of the excursionists who were at
Salina last fall. They were feeling very
nice over their visit. We invited them
to repeat it and we would try to give
them hearty welcome.
In summing up our travels over
section forty by sixty miles we find no
town to compare with Salina in bust
ness. We met men from all sections of
country east of US, and g good many
runners from the great commercial
centers of trade. They all say Salina
is the best business town on the line of
the Kansas Pacific from Kansas City to
Denver. May herstar still rise upward.

The correspondent of the Topeka
Commonwealth, writing about our city,
says:
Salina, the metropolis of central Kan
sas, is lively city, and the citizens
possess a wonderful spirit Of progress.
The business men are all on sure foun-
dalton, and they recognize Salina as
the place of commercial prosperity.
The city comman 8 an immense trade,
as the country is thickly settled with an
industrious class of farmers. 1t is pleas
ant to live m a fast city like Salina, as
rybody is on the go. The streets are
literally crowded and everything denotes
prosperity, which is permanent. Sallna
is the best business point on the X. p.
railroad, and the railroad recognizes this
fact, and it is proven by figures obtain
ed from f. G.. Jackson, the freight and
passenger agent. There have been al
ready forwarded over 100 cars wheat,
230 broom corn, 120 flour and other ar
ticles swell the number to 1,600. Re-
ceipts, 1000 cars lumber, $50 coal, $50
merchandise; over | 800 total. Cash re-
ceipts for November over S22, 900; aver
age per month for the year, little moro
than $4,000. Can any other office
make better exhibit than this, if so, let
them speak. Salina is recognized by all
broom corn men to be the largest ship
ping point for this article in the United
States, as there are more than 1000 tons
raised In Saline county. 1t is worth
about S75 per ton.

Salina, December 9TH 1877.
EDITORS Decentralization a long time
we get around; this letter will embrace
quite circuit. In our visit up Hol-
land and down Gypsum creeks, we saw
some fine and prosperous settlements;
wheat everywhere; and from appear
ances much larger crop planted this
fall than last. We also find considera-
BILE enterprise among the settlers. We
know of no better way to stimulate
your Eastern readers, than giving some
few instances of the grit and get up
of some of these farmers. Mr.. James
Kinnear, on the divide between the two
creeks, came here two years ago, and
after paying his homestead fees had
about three dollars left. He at once
bought two yoke of cattle and break
ing pillow, for which he contracted TO
break one hundred and ten acres. Did
it in forty-eight days, and then twenty
seven acres for himself on his own
claim; next year one hundred acres for
other parties and forty acres for him.

team, in the meantime built house sta
bic, corrals, and dug well, and now has

is from Michigan. Who will como next

sons of the year in sowing, had fine

this section are doing well.
On the Saline, near the east line of
Lincoln county, wo find Mr.. True en-
gagged in the sheep business quite ex-

head, ell doing well. He had just driven

There are some very fine farms and
settlements up the Mulberry on the
north side of the Saline. Our old friend

pRoCLANATIoSs OF THE SULTAN AND OF osMAE
PASHA.
LONDON, April 27.-The following is the
full text OF the Sultan's proclamation to the
army:
"Russia has declared war. We are forced
to take up arms. We have always wished
peace, listening to the advice OF the Powers
in this respect; but Russia wants to destroy
our independence. And so, il Russia at
tacks us, God, who protects right and JUS
tice, will grant us victory. Our soldiers
will defend with their blood the country
gained by their ancestors, and, with the
help OF God, maintain the independence Of
the Osmanli. The nation will protect the
wives and children OF the soldiers. Should
it be necessary, the Sultan will go TO the
army and raise the standard of the khalafat
and the Sultanel. The Sultan is ready to
sacrifice his life for the honor and independ-
ence of the country.''

How THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE EXPECTS
THE WAR TO REsULT.-[ From that paper Of
Tuesday. Our expectation of the results
Of the war, briefly stated, is this: That after
desperate resistance Turkey will be forced
TO succumb; that Russia will content her
self with slice Of Armenia, a new harbor
on the southern shore OF the Black Sea, and
her former European boundary, including
one mouth of the Danube; that she will lay
no hand on Constantinople, stop short Of
any proceeding which might provoke the
armed Intervention OF other Powers, and
leave Turkey phantom existence in Eu-
rope for few years longer. But the influ-
ences which the war Will set in motion are
incalculable, and it is possible that the end
may be very different from that which we
have prognosticated.

The Burkevile Sentinel recommends Mr..

candidate for Governor. We have hitherto
been extremely reticent as to our preference
for that Office, and we don't intend to be
rash now; but we will say that we shall
certainly support Mr.. Booth il he is nomi-
mated By the State Convention.
But Of those named we do not hesitate to
express decided preference for Hon. John

ing our choice we feel confident that we

have in no instance suppressed the fact that
any person or any paper was supporting
him.
The Norfolk Ledger is real DAVID of a
little paper. 1t chose yesterday a few
smooth stones from the brook and let them
fly at the GOLIATH of the Wing. 1t says
MALONE is doomed to defeat. Those who

United States. tlcatiSg each alike, may
furnish munitions OF war to either be!-
ligerent.
Queen Victoria will issue her proclama-

gaging transports to take an unusual guam
tlty of supplies to the Leyant.
