CITY AND COUNTY.



East - Read.
There are but few claims taken In the vicin-
ity OF Dodge City. The land is good, and We
want the county settled with industrious farm
ers and stock rsisers. Heretofore the business
men have depended upon the Texas cattle trade
for support, and have not tried TO induce immi-
grafton. The railroad company has been anx-
ious % settle the country and sell its Lands east
OF rs before putting this land into market. For
these reasons no attention hss been paid to
settling the country.
Dodge City 10 one Of tbs most promising towns
in Kansas. and the land and farAs in its vicinity
viii rapidly incrsase in value.
Fort Dodgs, one Of the most beautifully loca-
ted military posts In the Unhed Stsses, 10 situ-
sted nve miles east Of Dodge City. On the Ar
kansas river. Scarcely any OF ths land in the
vicinity Of the Fort Is taken.
The county d not burdeped with bonded in
debsednsss; Its only debt Is % 900, incurred in
building The substantial brick court house,
which 10 now almost completed. the brick hav-
ing been burned In this county.
Taxes are light. Partly owing to the good
financial condition Of the county, but more d.
rectly owing to the fact that the Atchison, To-
peka 4 Santa Fe Railroad Company pay the
taxes on their rosd-bed and lands promptly
every year. bringing many thousand dollars inia
the treasury.
The substantial bridge across the ArkAnsa.
| river, ust south Of the city. was built BY pri-
vate corporation, and at no expense = the tau
payers.
This 10 the only Organized county On the line
Of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Road where
government land can be obtained within one
and two miles Of the county seat.
A large tract Of Usage Indian land lays In this
vicinity, which is subject to entry at the ex-
ceedingly low price Of 81 3 per acre. Que half
the price Of government hand.
There are thirteen counties attached to Ford
for Judicial purposes II Is safe to say that those
counties will not be organized for many years
This leaves . vast and unlimited range for
those desiring to procure good and lasting loca-
tons for stock ranches. Foremost Of the coun-
ties thus attached are Clark, Mead, Arapahoe,
Foote, Stevens, Seward, Kansas and Stanton,
all well watered BY clear, running streams.
which furnish an abundance Of water a, all
Seasons sfthe year. Timber, sufficient for fuel
) can aiso be found on thcsestreams.
The altitude and dryness Of the atmosphere
the comparative exemption from winter rains.
} the boundless range, the luxuYiant grasses, and
the various conyenienccs TOR shelter, make these
counties much sought AFTER for winter as well q
, summer range.
