The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1882-10-05

Surviving the local rivalries, II is becoming
an acknowledged fact, by the fair-minded
and unprejudiced people Of all portions OF
Kansas, that the section known as the Lower
Arkansas Valley, embracing the counties OF
Sedgwick, Sumner, Butler and Cowley, in
agricultural productions, stands unrivalled
by any other section of equal extent to be
| found within the great Mississippi basin.
While the eastern half of Kansas is the gar
den of the United States. sedgwick county
| is the garden of the garden. So well recog-
nized Is The superiority Of our productions
that the county is annually raided by the
agents and residents of other counties and
States and by the great railway corporations
Of the West, in quest Of productions with
which 10 make big displays and to carry of
the premiums offered by State and other fair
during the fall months the superior produc.
tons on exhibition at the yaious fairs, if
traced up, will be found TO have grown in
the Lower Arkansas yallcy-gcnerally in
Sedgwick county. So il was in the big dis
play made lately in Denver in which the San
Ia Fe Railroad carried of the prize. Later
a; the Minnesota State fair, and again at our
own State fair. At the latter fair il is sus-
ceptible of proof that the many articles
which entitled certain counties TO premiums
were grown by Sedgwick county farmers.
II was only last week that we noticed the re-
suit at the Illinois fair at Wcnona, where
Thomas Lloyd exhibited apples from the Mo-
ser farm in this county which commanded the
blue ribbon without dispute. And now TO
cap the climax, and as it were to lay it over
the entire Union an agent of the Santa Fe
was in this county only last week, hunting
up more of our productions to exhibit in the
rotunda OF the capital at Washington, where
is being held fair in the interest OF the Gar
field Memorial Fund. From the farm OF Dan
NJ. Jones he secured corn IN the stalk and car
which will undoubtedly win another prize
for the Santa Fe-not for Sedgwick county.
Thus thousands upon thousands OF farms are
annually sold by the great corporations of
the Slate solely upon the productions of our
wonderful county. Long since and often
have we been besought to protest against
such work. But wherefore! Do we not.
ourselves, know that we have the best coun-
ty in the State, and that it is only question
of time-and a short time, too-when every
quarter section in Sedgwick county will be
rich farmy OF course we do. DO we not
know that within ten years improved lands
in Sedgwick will be commanding from $50
TO SO per acre, when lands on the high roll
ing plateaus of the central portions of the
State will go begging at SIS to $50 per acre I:
Most assuredly. Then let them go and fill
up by buying their prize products in Sedg-
wick county markets. In truth, there is no
other county 10 which they can go, assured
of undoubted success; no other county
where productions, beyond any chance, will
carry of the prizes wherever exhibited.

Seven miles of the heaviest grade are CON-
pleted between this point and Eureka, ready

the third mile in Butler county. Dolhof
moved his force in on Bird branch, this coun-

at work at different points on Spring creek,
Greenwood county. We may expect from
this on TO see the road growing right along
instead of the slow difficult work in the Flint

Mr.. aud Mrs. Wallace Woodman have taken
possession of their new home in the north
ern confines of the city. The aforesaid
home is extremely modern in design and
finish and withal very attractive and con-
venient. For variety OF architecture, that
end of town is becoming conspicuous, which
is well in view of the fact that it has be-
come the popular drive. We want no man
in that end of town, who in building will
not put up something unique and different
from his neichbors.

High ever scars the eagle, and his scream
is heard of all, even when his fight is beyond
the sight. We allude now more particularly
to the national bird. So the inclination OF
ali things bearing his name is to high aims

have more especial reference TO the Wichita

orchard of great extent together with an
