KINGMAS, April 8, 1886.
/ To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle
From personal observations and careful
inquiry it is safe to say the wheat crop in
Kingman comfy is very much damaged and
will fall far short Of last years yield. The
recent heavy rains have very materially i'm
proved what is left from the winter killing.
DIR. Hinton, one Of the largest wheat raisers
Of this part of the southwest, is blowing up
large par. of his wheat fields and putting
in spring crops.
Considerable corn is planted and many
fields Of oats are up.
The ground is in fine condition and a
great deal of new sod-breaking is being
done.
Six cars of beef cattle and one car of hogs
were shipped from here last week. Stock
in general is doing well considering the hard
winter. There were but small losses in this
county, although many Of the cattle are
poor at the present time.
The state board of railroad assessors with
the state auditor and the attorney general
visited Kingman to-day in a special train.
Some Of them expressed themselves as be-
ing amazed at the size and growth of King
man since their last visit here.
1t is nearly two months yet before it will
be year when the first cars reached the
town, June End, 1884.
The prospects brightens each day for the
Denver, Memphis and Atlantic railroad.
The county will vote upon the bonds on the
14th of this month and there is no doubt but
what the bonds will be voted for the road.
Mr. Burns the first vice-president of the road
is also here to-day and say they shall soon
be ready TO commence to Law the road-bed.
There is to be meeting of all the officers
Wednesday at Wellington.
Mr.. l.. S. Clark, the efficient Santa Fe
railroad agent here has resigned and our
merchants and business men regret it very
much. He was very popular anoug them.
The new agent is Mr.. Z. K. Waters from
Emporia, and is highly spoken Of
1t is confdentially denied that there was
no horse race at Newton at all last Satur-
day.

The city election passed off to-day in q
very quite way. There was nc opposition

the exception of one alderman. Peter Mil

KINeMAN, April 4, 1885.
If the outside world il at all interested in
kingman, it is to know what she is doing.
To note the progress it viii be necessary to
lite some of the changes the business firms,
,ffices and banks have been making from
pioneer shanties TO substantial brick blocks,
md more commodious quarters for the trans
ction of the large and growing business of
he town. Such 8 thing as business failure 1
n fire in kingmsn is almost unknown, and /,
$ for saloons, they are thing of the past. .
farmers come, and 20 home sober, and the I
egular town drinkers can now at times be
ound at home with their families, some of |
hem long neglected. Their faces begin to t
