THE BOOM.
10 uuucISt dEu ine CAUSES IOr Inc great
immigr alton to and the consequent increase
of business at Cald we'll, it is only necessary
10 cay that it liz the proposed terminus OF
the branch " the Aichi-ou, Topeka Il Santa
Ee railroad from Wichita, Wis Wellington.
The road Is in operation now TO yelling
ton, and IL known "a the hummer, Cowley
Il Fort Smith railroad.
A RAILROAD TOWN.
Before another year shall have passed
Caldwell will be a railroad town, and then
it viii figure more conspicuousiy in COM
mercial transactions than any Of its most en-.
thusia,tic admirers have ever imagined
As the terminus of the railroad il st once
becomes the principal shipping point
on the border for the cattle Of
Texas and the Indian Territory; ard not
only this, bat i. also becomes, in the very
nature OF things, the point of delivery for
all supplies of the government intended for
Forts Reno and Sill, and other points in the
Territory. That this will be done, that tie
road will be built, scarcely admits of u
doubt, for the necessities OF the csse make
the building Of it an absolute certainty.
II il claimed by Old cattle men those
who for years nave been on the frontier
and who have driven cattle on all the
drives ever opened through the Territory
that the one by way OF Caldwell furnishes
better water and grass than any other, and
liz therefore the best one; and that ii ia the
one that will he selected when the rosd
reaches Caldwell, and shipping facilities
are completed, il Just as certain "a that men
when engaged in any business always try 10
10 k.t u,
advance their interests. Convinced Of this
f-ct, and realizing the importance of the
business thul given to Cald we'll, is the
reason why business men are Il )cking into
the city, and is the secret of the great
boom" that has struck il.
NEW CALDWELL.
To convince any man who doubts that
there il anything at Caldwell, il is only
necessary that he should visit the city.
That some men have great confidence in its
future let me say tnst in the month Of
March, lS.a only eight months ago, DR..
4. J. Wallace, and Jean +. Webb, OF De-
cttur, Illinois, purchased section of land
sdj Jiniug the old town." Immediately on
the nor.h, which in the month Of May
they subdivided and plated into lot. and
streets and alleys. which they very apprO-
pristely named New Caldwell.
For beauties Of location, this town site
ia unsurpassed by any town or city. The
ground is high, and sufficiently rolling TO
give good drainage. The town il also
beautifully laid out. The principal bu.i
ress street Douglass Avenue, which runs
east and VESTS 100 feet in width; Broad
wav, another beautiful street, ia also l20
feet wide the balance Of the streets are
100 feet and 50 ieet in width. All alleys are
20 feet wide.
A large number If the lots have already
be- n solh. Among the purchasers ] men,
ton ID Young, OF Wyandotte, Kansas,
Colonel ID. K. Boyd and Frank Bryant, OF
Topeka.
A very liberal POLICY i. being pursued by
inducemeut to parties to locate, they offer
lots at one half price to those who will
build on the same immediately. Two lots
are slso donated OUT of each block sold to
parties intending to bnild.
The prices If lots vary IRON twenty TO
one hundred dollars each.
On the principal street, snd also on the
most beautiful location in the town, a
hotel building il being erected by DIR.
Wallace, which he intends shall be the
equal in all its appointments ard conven-
fences to any hotel in Kansas. The build
ing ii frame, stories high, II feet front
and 20! feet it debth. and hss 81 rooms.
The principle features of the building are
4 model office; large, we'll lighted and airy
dining room, and superior sample room
for the use OF commercial men,
This house will be opened for business
On the 4;h day Of December by Mes-rs
Bryant 4 Gilman, Of Topeka. Thee gem
Ilemen have had a great deal Of experience,
and will keep hotel at Caldwell which
will at once be a credit To Themselves and |
an honor to the city. That it NAV not |
be thought tina. the hotel is the only build |
ing being put up in the new town, it il |
proper to ssy that several residences have |
been built and are occupied, and that three |
tone business houses are under contract
hat the material OF others is being put |
lpon the ground. and that many private
residences will be put up yet this season.
