We copy the following from the Wash
ingtOn letter of Hon. NJ. w. Reynolds
to the Commonwealth:
KANsAN AT ATLANTA
John Morris, formerly printer in
Topeka, in q letter To Senator Plumb,
casually mentions that he is building
up fine trade for Kansas flour at At
lanta, Georgia. Was this one of the
many good results of the exhibition
made by the Santa Fe road at the great
Atlanta fair? 1t is certainly IL fact that
this great road gave splendid boom TO
Kansas in this wonderful exhibition.
Johnny writes that that his only cOmpe-
tiIion Is Tennessee -four, but the fact
that Kansas eau compete with rennes-
see -four IN the Atlanta markets is IA
somewhat surprising and significant fact,
and a very encourGgagiRg and compli-
mentnry one also To our Kansas wheat
growers aud millers. When the Kansas
City, F0Ft Scott s. Gulf road is com
pleled Ia Memphis, as it will be in u lit
tie over twelve months, there will be u
splendid market for Kansas flour,
Kansas hay and Kansas bacon in the
southern markets, and Arkansas lumber
yards will be established in every i'm
portant town in the Neosho and Arkan-
sas valleys. But then one road will not
be able To do the business, and the Santa
Fe folks ought to look at once for an
outlet via Fort Smith on to the markets
of the south western and southern states.
KANSAS WHEAT.
But here is another item more Won
derful than the above. Minnesota, the
greatest wheat producing region in the
world, is already looking to the golden
belts wheat fields of Kansas tor winter
wheat. Spring wheat is given up there.
1t cannot always be relied upon as to
quality. Her milling interests are SIM
ply immense, those of Minneapolis be-
Ing larger than those of any other place
in the world. A line of road but sixty
miles in length between the two points,
I cannot now name. is to be built to give
direct rail connection between Minncap-
oils and AtchisOn, so as to reach the
wheat fields of Kansas.
