ALONG TIE LINE.

Since the last issue OF the TRANSPORTER
we made business trip to Kansas, start
ing on the 26th ult., and arriving at Cald
well, after a tewenty-four hours ride, by
stage. The roads were in very good coh-
dition.; but owing to the heavy rains, the
rivers were up little, and we had antici.
pated trouble in fording them, but the
Cimarron and Salt Fork were both cross
ed without delay. Mr.. Todd has relia.
bic and trustworthy set of drivers, and
passengers can rely on getting to their
destination i'm safety and comfort when
travelling over this line.
The merchants OF Caldwell seem to be
enjoying very good business, although
the farmers were very busy preparing for
harvest, and the cattlemen were not yet in
from the round-ups. The first herds Of
the through drive were just beginning TO
arrive, and everything looked well for the
coming boom. Starting out to talk busi-
ness, we soon ran across Mr.. Chas. IL.
Moore, cashier of the Stock Exchange
Bank, from whom we received friendly
greeting aud liberal patronage. In look.
ing over the list of stockholders of the
above named bank, we find the familiar
names Of the leading cattlemen OF the
Territory. Their ad will be found in
another calumn.
Next door we found Geo. w. Wiun &
Go. busily engaged in manufacturing haY-
ness and saddles for their numerous cus-
toners, the majority OF whom are stock
men. THIS firm makes q specially Of de-
signing and putting up work for the Ter
ritory trade, and present their business
card in this issue. A. j. Luder, who
makes the "cowboy boots and Shoes" was
found in the same building, and eamo
down promptly with an ad.
w. S. Chandler, the gun and locksmith
Of the town, was next called upon, aud
makes his business known TO the cattle
men Of the Territory by appearing in the
TRANSPORTER with card. lie is a first
class workman.
Doubleday Bros, the popular furniture
dealers. are doing good business, and
make the filing Of orders from the Ter
ritory specially. They are also repre-
sented by an al in this issue.
We also secured card from the clifton
House. MIR. Ray, the proprietor, spares
no pains in accommodating the stockmen
When in caldwell, stop at this house.
The last nd secured, was that of Mr.. j.
Frank Dean, watch maker and repaircr OF
jewery. Parties possessing watches,
jewelry, etc, in need of repairing, can
send them by mail and have repaired in
neat shape, and with but little cost.
After calling on the newspaper fratern-
ity and exchanging hearty show" we
boarded the cars for Arkansas City. At
Mulvane, we ran across Messrs. Cal. L.
Swarts, Jas. K. Miller-the gentemanly
Santa Fe conductor-and several other old
acquaintances, and in their company soon
arrived at the "canal city"
After good nights rest-which we
were i'm condition 10 sppreciate-at the
popular city hotel, we paraded the classic
streets in search OF old-time friends, from
whom we received friendly greeting, and
in whose company we attended church
and listened TO well delivered sermon
by Rev. S. B. Fleming.
Monday morning we started out in the
interest of the TRANSPORTER, and soon
secured an ad from the hardware firm Of
Howard Bros. These are reliable gentle
men, and we recommend them TO tho
Territory trade as honest dealers.
Wyckoff & Son, clothiers, grocerS, &C.,
were bound to patronize the TRANSFORMERS,
and we soon had them booked. They
have large stock, and also deal extern
sively In all kinds Of Indian goods.
