This famous hotel at Ashland, the
terminus of the Wisconsin Contra
railroad, nearly 400 miles north Of
Chicago, is again thrown open to the
public for the summer. 1t is roman.
tically and beautifully situated at the
foot Of Chequamegon Bay, in Lake
Superior. 1t is one Of the finest and
most delightful hotels in all the
northwest. Mr.. Brown, the proprie,
tor, has a national reputation.
Ashland is charming little city Of
5000 or 1900 inhabitants, and is the
home Of Lieutenant Governor Fifeld,
a hospitable gentleman who gives
strangers, especially those from
the South, cordial welcome,
Jaunty little steamers pillow the
bay at regular intervals, and trips
can be made easily over to Bayfield,,

plicity and rudeness. The bay abounds
with fine fish and the woods with
game. This is indeed the sportman's
elysium, the invalid's haven of rest.
A more delightful place could hardly
be found or imagined on the continent.
The very memory Of the place, where
the hand that writes these has often
coquetted with the inhabitant of field
and stream and lake in the vicinity Of
Ohequamegon Hotel, is enough to
revive ones spirits and bridge over the
dullest day.

Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf

The Kansas City. Fort Scott and
Gulf railroad was opened from Kan
szs City through to Fort Scott and
Baxter Springs to the line of the In
dian Territory at almost precisely the
same time that the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad reached the line to
the westward. As the first one which
reached the Territory was to have the
right of way through it, their respec-
tive dates of completion became an
important question of fact, and lead to
much contention and litigation. The
weight OF testimony seemed at first to
favor the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Gulf, but the highest court of appeals
finally decided against it and gave
the right of way to the rival
corporation. Shut off from all
hope OF au outlet through the Indian
Territory. it pushed forward some
western extensions into Kansas and
quietly awaited events. Its oppoi :
tunity came in 1880, when it pur
