THE EAST AND THE WEST.

Mr.. w. c. Mcclure, who is home from an
extensive trip in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,
gives gloomy account of things generally
where he has travelled. The crops were
poor, prices are no better, and in some in
stances not as good as with US. His folks in
Ohio threshed the product Of fifty acres Of
wheat which yielded only 500 bushels, which
is ten bushels per acre. The price there is
60 cents for new and so cents for old wheat.
Corn amounts to nothing "After you get
out of Kansas, said Mr.. Nc, there is no
building going on. You wouldn't hear the
sound of hammer, nor the click of chisel.
Everything is dead" He went and re-
turned by different roads and it was much
the same story everywhere. He took par
ticular pains to see and enquire how every
thing stood and to compare them with our
own town and country and said he was more
than ever satisfied with his location in
Wichita. Wei, that's just what everybody
says. Just such accounts are given by
everyone who has made trip east this year,
and much the same account comes from the
west. Taking the accounts OF j. c. and W..
B. Jones, who have just returned from the
west, and Mr.. McCune's account from the
east, and putting them together, it will be
apparent that, notwithstanding business
don't come fully up TO the peoples wishes
here, this is the favored spot in all this
broad land. Milling wheat in Ohio, saws
Mr.. McCune, brings only so cents per bush
Ell; here it brings IS to 80. New corn brings
here % cents Der bushel and oats IL cents,
and the yield per acre is, in general, double
that on the best lands east, which are highly
cultivated and MANFRED. Many of our own
people laughed at the EAGLE when it said
that land in this county would bring S75 to
500 per acre before many years, but Mr..
McCune says land that is held at $50 to 500
per acre east won't raise over half the crop
ours does and the price is no better. Then
why are not lands here as valuable.

Messrs. j. c. and w. b. Jones, who have
made tour Of Western Kansas and por-

speak in glowing terms of the splendid
scenery and pure air of Colorado, but are
by no means enthusiastic over the business
outlook. Times are dull. Most of the in
dustries of Pueblo are idle and consequent
ly business is bad. The steel and nail
works are closed down. There was four
inches of snow there last Saturday.

The Wichita postmaster was notified yes
terday with proper instructions to prepare
for the special delivery system. The list Of
postofices at which elivery will be made
was also sent and shows only fvo other
towns in the state. The service will COM
mence October frst. A ten cent stamp
special will secure the prompt delivery Of
any letter at special delivery Office. A
record must be made Of every letter thus
sent and of every one delivered. Boys will
be hired by the postmaster for the work,
who must know how to read and write

will prove a great nuisance to postcfiices but
no doubt valuable, especially at times, to
