FILLING Up.
This part q Kansas is fast filling up,
NAV say it is full. ~ there Is not GesIra-
bic foot OF government land 10 be had in
the county. And emigration like a mighty
wave is pushing on farther north and west.
The railroad company is selling consider
able of their land to those who do not with
to go further west Better land can be had
here for six dollars an acre than can be had
for SIS back east ami yet this. is called high;
In few years more il cannot be had Tor
So an acre.
We are twenty-five miles from the rail-
road but one or two more big crops srch as
this county can and has produced, and the
road must come; farmers will not be con-
tent TO wagon such crops to market. From
where / write | can look out upon fields
that last year produced forty-tive bushels TO
the acre.
How forcibly We are reminded now and
then Of the necessity OF conforming TO the
words of the old niaxam, never put Oft I'M

amined the records and jumped the claim

Tb.re WIS time when claims-pood
ones-were plenty and man saying he
owned that particular one was sufficient,
but now he must produce the papers.

country surrounding, and the business men
are Obliged to offer every lnducement TO get
patronage from adjoining counties, and Ire
quently some granger iriend avails himself
Of the opportunity OF driving twenty-five
miles to the railroad, and getting
pound and half more dried apples

this may be enterprise on the part OF the
dealer, whatever it may he on the other
