Z. A. Keneda, of Gore township, Sumner

most successful farmers in that famous coun-
ty. He now has on his farm three hundred
and twenty-five acres of corn planted, the
most of which is up and growing. Mr.. Ken
eda thinks the prospect for wheat
crop is not enc ouraging. He considers the
EAGLES statement in yesterdays daily of
one-fcur.h of crop for that county liber-
al estimate.
J. NJ. Steele writes us from Tacoma I'M

than 5000.

Lakeside, the home of Commander Wood
man has been rendered more attractive and
more beautiful than ever BY Russell d Rizer
who have just finished putting down sixteen
hundred feet OF their patent asphaitum
walks and road ways on the premises The
walks wind in and out and through the
smoothly shayen yard and lawn in de-
lightfully convenient way, suggesting CON-
fort and cleanliness. The work of this firm
gives great satisfaction. In fact their walks
prove to be all that they guarantee, smooth,
hard and durable, being affected by no
change of weather however sudden or severe.
The work at Riverside must attract no little
attention and prove perpetual advertise
ment.
R. b. Temple, the big stock shipper, says
that the effects of the late floods in the Min
nescah river are plainly to be seen along
that stream south of Clearwater; that on the
banks are great many carcasses of cattle,
sheep and hogs which where drowned in the
recent raging floods, which since the waters
have receded give off an offensive odor that
in his opinion will seriously effect the health
Of the people in that neighborhood. When
one looks at that clear, gentle, ripping
stream at ordinary times ii is difficult to i'm
agine the terrors of the late food that swept
down that valley, carrying down with its
roaring, surging tide the debris of wrecked
homes and the lifeless bodies Of doomed
stricken animals and people, all swallowed
up in the the pittiless ruin.

Z At the Union depot the other day, an
Arkansas City gentleman in the presence of
reporter, whom he probably took for
tenderfoot, relieved himself of the following:
"Ycs, Arkansas City, gentlemen, is one of
the best towns in the west and there are
more fine buildings going up this summer
than ever before. She is growing is grow
ing very fast. The new steamboat is sue
ciss, and st. Louis company is going to
build twenty more right away. They are
100 feet long and draw but one foot of water.
There are parties from Chicago there now
who expect to put on another line soon. Oh!
l tell you Arkansas City is the town of
Southern Kansas, No, this Wichita is q
not healthy town. think it must be hot
there since the trees prevent the air circulate
ing and it is SO level too" The reporter
thought if Arkansas City was depending
upon Arkansas river navigation to become a
metropolis, that the fellow had better carry
less brass and more copper, for the only
way the Arkansas will ever be made navigs-
bic would be to make her copperbottom
channel.

Mr. c. Wood Davis, the big farmer of the
Minnesota, claims that the EAGLE might
have published the same information about
the wheat crop the first of last March that
we published few days ago. That he ex-
amined at that time and reported to us that
this county would not raise one-fourth of a
crop Of wheat. Mr. Davis is an old settler
in this valley, having been here since 1863.
He predicts that We viii have plenty of rain
in the next five months, which will make
an immense crop OF corn in this valley.

A representative of the EAGLE who
visited our old friend Mr.. c. B. Ludlum on
his farm at Manchester station recently, re-
ports him pleasantly situated with a fine
new farm house. well filed by the music of
six heirs. evenly divided as to gender, over
whom the partner of his joys presidcs with
becoming grace and kindness and welcomes
many visitors to their Preside. People in
that vicinity are anxious to have some one
open general store at that station and buy
produce, also keep coal, ETC., for sale. "Con"
says he would like to have college located
there, for they would furnish half dozen
pupils and his neighbour can do equally
well. A post Office is one of their dressings
needs and should some enterprising dealer
locate there they would favor him to assist
in getting daily mails, etc. They expect to
build church there soon. Our scribe took
delight in looking over the fine fruit pros
poets upon Mr.. Ludlum's place and also at
his stock and improvements generally.
Nice ponds supply them with an abundance
Of fish and it is gratifying to learn that Mr..
L. has succeeded SO well in changing the
wilderness of nine years ago into country
home with flowers, fruits and groves equal
TO the best of old settled communities.

DIR FOREIGN POLICY.

"Gath," the noted correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer, writes from Washing
ton that "Now Mr.. Bayard has found IL
necessary to do just what Blaine did. he
has notified Guatemala that she shall not
eat up Nicaragua. Bayard has followed
Blaine's policy, and Mr.. Whitney has sent
ship of war to watch Guatemala, and we
are really having foreign policy. But u
is the Same ona that Blaine had. So far
from having any dislike of this foreign pol
icy, have always believed in it. We ought
to have the force Of arms to impress our
lust views on these minor Republics. The
United States ought to build the ship canal
across Nicaragua. The reason that Qua
temala announces the necessity of great
Central American Republic is that she and
her boss, whose name is Barrios, want to
steal some Of the money the Americans are
expected to spend on that canal. Mr. Bay
ard will have to drop good deal OF his
gasconade and believe in material things.
His only salvation as our Secretary of State
ia to make the moral influence of this
country impressive with physical power on
the shabby little Republics which have
been deluded by ourselves and by Europe
ever since they escaped from the throttle of
Spain"
The CHIEF also admires the foreign policy
of Blaine, which was that of Monroe and
the sturdy statesmen of the Republics ear
lier days. and its adoption by the present adj
minsitration should be source of gratifi-
cation to the people. Had such course
been suggested during the recent presiden-
tial campaign, however, there would have
been legion of Democratic voices crying
out against it as contrary to the spirit Of
our institutions and mischievousiy cal
culated to lead the country into unnecessary
broils with foreign powers. There is scarcely
a doubt that the "Monroe doctine" Is en-
dorsed by majority OF the people of the
United States so large as to make the sentl-
,nent virtually unanimous, and any admin
istration, be it Democratic or Republican.

failed to enforce foreign policy consls-
tent with that enunciated by President
Monroe and SO ably expounded by James
