r. M. Wright received last week q car
load of forest trees, embracing box elder,
cottonwood, ash, locust, &c., to the number
of 1000 which he is setting out on twenty
acre tract in the bottom land in the south.

are of large size, and as the season is favora-
BIZ will no doubt take immediate growth.
A miniature grove within the city limits
will be an attractive feature. Mr.. Wright
is to be highly commended for this act of
enterprise. 1t will be 10 his benefit and to
the benefit of the public in tie future. A
few more groves in the surroundings of the
city will relieve the monetony of the
prairie.

"We will have trouble with the redskins in
the spring." observed an army officer, whose
post is in Arizona, last January. The
prophecy has come true. Reports from that
territory show the usual massacres, depreda-
tons, murder and terror, customary alter a
quiet winter.
For FIVE months in the year the govern.
ment feed, clothe and supply the treaeherous
thieves with ammunition with which to slay
and destroy the whites during the remaining
seven months.
When an old Indian fighter like General
Crook pronounces the Apaches the "worst
redskins in the world'' it is time for the
soothing and decisive spirit of determination
to be applied practically. The war will las.
until the red imps run out of powder and
game until their bands are scattered, and
then they will surrender, be received with
open arms by the government, and allowed
to recuperate and bring their scattered
forces togethsr.-Leavenworth Times.

CROP PROSPECTS IN KANSAS.
Reports from correspondents of the State
Agricultural Board, fo1 the month of
March, are generally favorable as to the
condition of winter wheat and rye. The
per cent. of area destroyed by freezing is not
nearly 80 large as was at one time feared.
Much Of the acreage given up two weeks
ago is now showing life. The most dis
couraging reports come from the southwest
era portion of the state. The counties lying
within the great wheat belt, Mcpherson,
Dickinson, salina, sedgewiek, Harney, Sum.
ner and Reno, report an acreage in wheat
about equal to 1882, and condition of about
the same this time last year. If good
weather obtains from now until harvest the
falling-of in production in 1883 will not be
nearly 20 much as has been anticipated.
The acreage Of rye has increased over 1881
about 10 Per cent, and it, condition il very
similar to wheat. In Southern Kasas il il
sown almost exclusively for pasture, while
in the Northern portion it IL sown for both
purposes, pasture and grain.

THE SODA WATER FACTORY.

THE SODA WATER FACTORY.
The soda water mandatory Of 4turm &
Metcalf is in full operation, and customers
are now supplied with fine quality of soda
water, including champagne cider and
ginger ale. Messrs. Sturm & Metcalf will
supply the trade of Western Kansas, Colo
rado and the Panhandle of Texas with soda
water, champagne cider and ginger ale.
They will also supply families in this city

ceipt of case of soda water assorted
sirups- and pronounce the wauer of a very
excellent quality. We believe there will be
a popular demand for this delightful sum-
mer beverage.

The first named gentlemen have come to
this state for the purpose of making an ex-
animation of the proposed irrigating scheme,
with view of investing money in the enter
prise. They are favorably impressed with
the project, and will return to New York,
where they will enlist other capitalists. One
of the Gilbert brothers is at present in
Rochester, N. Y, on business connected
with this enterprise. In conversation with
these gentlemen we learned that the project
is feasible and that they will invest money
in it. They are visiting the irrigation ditch
at Garden City this week, and from that point
will 20 to Colorado, where they will make a
thorough examination of irrigation in that
State. Mr.. Fish is connected with the
