WICHITA AND KANSAS CITY

Hon. c. ii. Graham, Of LIE Roy, for man,
years identified with the railway and other
interests Of eastern Kansas, was in Wichita
Mr.. G. says the extension of the Missouri
Pacific branch now terminating at LIE Roy
TO Yates Cen ter, distance Of only fifteen
miles, will give Wichita another very shor,
line to Kansas City, the entire distance be-
ing 200 miles as against 227 by the Santa Fe.
MIR. Graham says bonds have been voted
for said extension and that the people of
LIE Roy are wide awake and active in that
interest and that it will be built at an early
day not only TO Yates Center but on to In
dependence in Montgomery county. In
speaking of Wichita he said he was here in
1869, when there was no town, at which
time he bought several hundred head of cat
tie which he wintered up between the rivers.
That Wichita is the coming city of this
country Mr.. Graham says that on that score
the business men of the west are practically
unanimous.

"The Frisco road is offering the same in
ducements the Missouri Pacific does to d.
vert trade to st. Louis."-k. c. Times.
That is not true in the sense stated. Wich'
tia wholesalers 60 to first hands for their
goods. These goods can Just as well come
by the way of St. Louis or Chicago as by
Kansas City, but they will not come by or
through the latter place SO long as local rates
are charged between Kansas City and Wich-
ita Mr.. Gould has road direct from ST.
Louis TO Wichita. The Frisco people have
another. Now, how competition between
these two great trunk lines for Wichita's
through eastern freight, or that portion OF
il which comes via ST. Louis, is diversion
of trade from Kansas City, we fail TO under
stand. It's humbug scare and there is
nothing in the complaint.

While the ambition of Topeka and Fort
Scott and Wichita is leading them astray in
their opposition to Kansas City, Psola re-
tains her good sense and recognizes the i'm
portance and value of being connected with
Kansas City by rail.-K. c. Times.
Yes, Paola is little country town OF two
or three thousand inhabitants and will never
be any larger. Peola is already connected
directly by rail with Kansas City and Paola
people would show nothing but folly if they
should give cent towards the construction
of second line for the benefit of Missouri

FIFTY BUSHELS TO THE ACRE.

The broad sweep of valley lying south OF
this city and between the Big river and the
Cowskin seems never to fail in productive
ness. Mr.. james r. Mead, the wonderful
corn crops of whose farm we have often
mentioned, informed us yesterday that the
fields Of his neighborhood, including his
own, would yield splendidly. He says fifty
bushels TO the acre is safe estimate fo-
number of large fields,

When Kansas City's railroad system j.
perfect, her trade is secure, but not till then
There is no time TO be lost. If Kansas City
stands back and waits for Mr.. Gould to build
the road, simply because it would cost few
thousand dollars to build it now. she would
sell her birthright for mess of pottsge.-
X. G. Times.
That birthright is principally wind and
the pot containing the mess has sprung q
leak and Kansas City's railroad system is az
perfect as it will ever be.

Mr.. Gould writes the Kansas City Boart

pect to operate it as through line, with it.

through trains, and to extend such facilities
as 70 rates as win give to Kansas City the
result you desire with respect to the trade oil
the tributary sections"
IfMr. Gould puts on such through trains
from Wichita to Kansas City via. Paola, it
will put add another line to Wichita's con-
nections with X. C.'s terminal roads, and
can in no possible way effect our present
through rates to St. Louis But il, upon the
completion of this Paola link, Mr.. Gould
should attempt adding local rates from Kan
sas City on Wichita through freight, how
much will be haul, especially after the Oma-
ha, Abilene and Wichita road is COM
