THE ONO EpIfoRs' EXCURSION.



That was pleasant excursion to the
Great West aud we propose TO take our
readers over the route with va this time il
il takes all Summer, or, even IL we have to
go a short distance Of the way on ice.
Gen. CANFtELD, Of the Sunday journal, for
getting his origin, says II seems to have
furnished material for the rurals for sum
mer's campaign, while on the other hand
Bro. ID. d. TAYLOR, Of. the Guernsey Times,
says large books have been made from
less material than was gathered upon
this occasion, and hopes his readers will

newspaper articles OF suitable length.
KANSAS CITY.
Here, at the Coates House, n large new
Hotel just completed and situated on the
highest bluff in the city, busted up and
awaiting nm assignment to room for a
nights rest, was where we left our readers
last week. II was here that the most
chivalrous home guard or any other man
could be exposed to the draft and receive
no serious shock to his nervous system ;
and il we arc not seriously mistaken in
our judgement il was here we discovered
the "Future Great City OF the West"
Contrary 10 the picture OF 1t sketched in
our minds eye (for after passing Mexico,
Missouri, we were in territory never be-
fore traversed, by us) which situated il
in a low, river fat, the city is located on
very high hills and rugged bluffs, and
famed with the purest atmosphere from
last increasing in population, wealth and
substantial solid blocks of masonry and
all the paraphernaia Of q great city, and
is already contesting every inch OF ground
in the vast territory beyond with ST
Louis and Chicago as wholesale market.
To see the growing crops one hun
dred miles this side and two hundred
miles beyond Kansas City, ii is not diff
cult to arrive at the conclusion that there
are "millsons in il" for any city tina,
can command the trade and handle the
grain raised in this section.
The visit of the excursion party to that
city had been anticipated and as the stay
was to be a short one the press, city Off
cials and local committee arranged to
make ii as lively MS possible while we
were with them. Mr.. Jos. II. LEoRNER,

excurted with their Association to Toledo,
Detroit and But-in-B Bay on the hrst OF June
met us there to assist in receiving and
entertaining while there, and both went
as far us Lcvenworth, Kansas, with us on
leaving the city. After breakfast carriages
were provided for the whole party, and
after being shown the various institutions
OF the city were driven to the City Hall
where speeches of welcome and responses
were made. From here the party were
driven direct to their magnificent union
depot for further explorations in n ives.
