ANTHONY, HARPER 10, June 10
The future county seat Of Harper coun-
ty, though but three months old, is looming
up visIbly, and presents quite respectable
appearance. IL is situated near the centre
OF the county, on level tract, and the fair
sand bedded stream called Bluff Creek
bounds the towusite on the west, south and
east, at a distance OF some three miles
Some score OF houses have been put up in
the last month, and the prospects Of 1t AS
suming fair proportions are good.
A great many claims are improved, and
sod corn is doing we'll.
The recent rains have swellcd the Mn
nescah and Chickaskia rivers so as to rem
der it difficult for the loads enroute for
this place to pass, but when they once at
tain their full hight they fall quickly.
TIE town company is composed of men
with good business tact, residing for the
most part in Wichita There il some sur
prise manifested by those working for the
company at the unwillingness OF those in
the management to pay them for their la
Dor.
The soil around our new town is similar
in most respects to that in the Arkansas
valley, and between the Ninnescah and
Chikaskia.

result to apple trees, but very serious to

For the beretit Of the many anxious in
the Soul ,hern States who are continually
sending letters Of inquiry concerning cur
State, county ard village, have concluded
TO give bri-f description of the State. 1
shall en3cayor TO give a plain statement OF
the facts a they appear TO me, after long
residence in this part Of The State.
THE HEALTH
of the State, and especially of this part Of
it, will compare with that of any region
almost on the face Of the globe. 1t would
be difficult 10 find elsewhere a larger por-
lion Of sound, hearty and healthy people,
in any section of the United States, than
may be seen IN the public gatherings or As
semblages OF the people in almost any part
oi the State; and this Is noticeable fact,
observed by not only the citizens, but stran-
gers visiting Kansas. Thousands OF inva-
lids ard others OF threatened ili-health of
hereditary origin can bear testimony to
'heir entire restoration, or the great miti-
CATION OF their diseases, by residence in
Kansas. The climate is equal, if not supe-
rior, 10 that Of France or Italy, and bears
great similarly To that of Southern Cali
Iurnia.

lnuelu tOurler, Dbl
At about 1I:3O to-day man dressed in
blue overalls, a brown coat, and heavy
black hat, with bowie knife and revolver
buckled around him, OF dark complexion,
and with dark moustache and goatee, went
to the residence OF Mrs. T. III. Wills, and
finding no one at home except the hired
girl, he thought he would take charge of
the premises and run things to suit himself
He demanded of the girl to know where the
valuables were kept, at the same time threat
ening to kill her if she did not tel, but upon
her refusing he grabbed her and threw some
thing in her face which, as she SAYS, put
her to sleep almost instantly. 4 young
lady came in soon after and found the
hired girl unconscious and the thief still in
the house. She at once ran to Mrs ii. s.
Leonard's, told Mrs. W., when they all re-
turned to the latter's house. Finding the
thief had skipped" in the meantime, she
made 1t known TO men on the street and in
less than ten minutes hundred or more
persons on horseback galloped off in all Gi-
rections, but up to this writing nothing has
been learned OF his whereabouts. Nothing
is missed except sack Of -four and some
other eatables. For the two weeks lust
passed it has not been a surprising thing to
hear Of night marauders, but when it comes
to making their raids in the day time it is
getting little too bold, and We hope il
will not be long before the guilty ones are
brought to justice.

were the stories he told the boys. One in |
particular we remember well, and which
resembles the one published in the Rspr-

in 1862, he found little work, but one day |
ne struck a small town that had a printing
office in it. He went in and found the edi-
tor busy writing, using barrel for desk
and nail keg for seat, and the devil"
a stool at his side. He asked the
editor how work was, and what the chance
was fer "sit,' who replied that he codld
get work for few days. He pulled off his
coat, the devil gave him a"stick," and he
asked where he could find the type and
cases, and was told that the type was

We have two distinct classes OF lands
valley and prairie. Valley lands are those
living nearest the streams, and extend from
the rivers TO the high lands. Prairie lands
are high and rolling, and are composed of
soil very different from the valley, being
partly OF that class OF soil known as the
black waxy, very productive, and never
wears out, or requires artificial fertilization.
They are specially adapted to all kinds Of
small grain.

FROM San Diego comes the graf
flying news that the river of that
name is running. This is always
an infallible indication of a good
season. No year in which the San
Diego river ran has ever yet been
chronicled as a bad one in South
ern California. We mention the
fact as an omen Of good to this Sec
ton. 1t 10 one of those rivers
which, three years out of four, is
generally remarkable for the width
of its banks and for the absence of
strange thing for q riyer-water.
While editing a San Diego paper
We once received letter from an
old steamboat man in tho East.
He desired to know for what dis
lance up the San Diego river was
navigable for steamboats, of a GER
tain draught, what was the popu-
latien aligning it, etc., as he
wished to come out there, build or
buy \ boat and resume his old vo.
cation. If the river serves no other
purpose than being . guarantee,
when it runs, of a good. season in
San Diego and elsewhere, it is a
good thing to have about.

OUR Gospel Swamp and Los Nj
etos Valley farmers, who sold their
corn crops this year for prices
ranging from one dollar and five
cents to eighty-five cents a bushe eel i,
will doubtless be interested in
learning that the ruling price Of
corn in many parts Of Kansas is
fifteen cents q bushel, aud that, at
that price, it is found to be .
cheaper fuel than either coal or
wood. From our situation, and
from the peculiarities Of
our climate and soil;-from our
moist lands and our facilities
for irrigation in dry seasons, Los
Angeles 10 the corn county, par ex-
cellonce, of the State, and the sta

The sale OF lots East of Santa
Ana, which comes off to-day, re-
minds US OF the wonderful growth
of that portion of our county.
Santa Ana, Westminster and the
Gospel Swamp sections are simply
miracles of settlement, and they
have been possible because the adj
vantages Of that neighborhood, ag-
ricultural and other, have been Of
a pronounced kind. The soil is not
surpassed In the world, and the
same may DO said Of the climate.
While this region Of country is
traversed by the Southern Pacific
Railway, it is perfectly independ-
snt Of all railway communication,
having Newport Landing to fall
back upon, and Anaheim Landing,
for that matter, II desired. Re-
gions In which the tallest corn on
the American continent can be
made to grow side by sids with the
orange, lime and other semi-tropi-
cal vegetation, are certain to come
into demand. especially when they
have the advantage Of both rail-
way aud ocean transportation.
This fact explains the remarkable
success Of the progressive settle
ments of the southern section oil
