NORTH AND SOUTH ROADS IN
KANSAS.

Special Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat.
WICHITA, Kan, March 8, 1885,
Another railroad has been projected
to run from this city north. The en-
terprise has been kept very quiet, but
your correspondent has managed to
obtain some reliable information re-
garding it Notwithstanding the reti-
cence of the parties at its head. 1t
seems that a few weeks ago a repre-
sentative of the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River railroad visited Wichita
for the purpose of comforting with the
president and some of the local direc-
tors of the projected Omaha, Abilene
and Wichita road, in order TO secure
the building of the road in connection
and making it part of the Burlington
and Missouri River system. Finding
that nothing could be done through
the Omaha, Abilene and Wichita folks,
the Burlington representative secured
the organization of another company,
which has filed its charter with the
secretary of state. under the name of
''The Kansas Midland Railway Com
pany," with headquarters at Wichita,
and the directors for the first year are
G. II. Miller. president; S. w. Camp
bell, vice-presideni: J, .. Davidson,
treasurer: o. II. Bently, secretary: w.
K. Stanley. r. +. Lawrence and ii. q.
Lee. Mr.. Campbell is a resident Of
Hutchinson. The others are citizens
of Wichita. All are men of consider
able capital and full of business energy.
The proposed line is to run from
Wichita up the north side of the
Arkansas river TO Hutchinson, thence
north through Rice, Ellsworth, Lin
coin, Mitchell and Jewell counties,
Kansas, to Red Cloud, Nebraska, on
the b. IL NJ. the total distance being
200 miles.
The president of the company stated
to your correspondent that the con-
tract has been LET for building the line.
and as soon as few preliminaries
were settled, propositions will he sub
miitcd for local aid sufficient to Sc
cure the right of way along the route.
That" he said, twill be within the
next sixty days, and before ninety
days dirt will be flying along the en-
tire line. If congress passes the bill
giving railroads the right to bnild
through the Indian territory, the line
will be extended south to some point
in northern Texas. You see the time
has come for building north and south
lines through Kansas, aud Wichita is
assuming such Importance as u rail-
road center. with q rich country 20
back her, that she can no lon
ger rely singly upon eastern
roads 10 transact her carving trade"

WHAT SOUTHERN KANSAS WILL
DO THIS YEAR.

All southern Kansas is in for a
boom this year. 1t would be hard
matter 10 make a guess at or to for
mulatc any kind of an estimate of the
number Of eastern people who will set
tie in southwest Kansas the coming
spring and summer. Thousands OF
people are already going in by rail-
roads, not only into all the counties
living south Of the Arkansas river but
into the counties of Rush, Ness, Lane,
Wichita and Greeley. For what is
termed the "wagon migrant" he who
goes overland, with teams, and cattle,
ana his household goods and the en-
tire family, the season is not yet tar
enough advanced, but that stream
will be setting in within two or three
weeks. Dozens of towns, which are
now towns only in name, will be
towns. and fiourishing towns too, by
the middle of summer, and the
towns and new county seats
of to = day will be putting
on city airs before one half Of the peo-
pie in the eastern part Of the state viii
have learned even of the existence of
such places. Should the season prove
q good one for crops and the average
homesteader find himself and his fam
lily well provided with provisions and
his live stock with provender, even
though he has laid up no money the
fact that he finds himself the owner of
a farm of such e soil as has produced
his living, will fix his determination
and satisfy his ambition for the time,
and the question of settling western
Kansas will have been decided in the
affirmative: and it will only be left to
the present pioneer and the succeeding
generation TO improve and develope a
full iledgei state of high mark and
unreasonable possibilities.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Late this evening news reached our
city that Anthony is to be surprised
with a railroad entering its limits with
almost the same caution and secrecy
that the same line tore up its track
and diverted its course from the
metropolis of Harper county some
five or six years ago. The report is

EDITOR BEACoN:-As | have seen no
report of the condition o. the crops in
the eastern portion of the county. |
drop you II few lives, giving the condi-
ton of the crops. 1t has been raipino
the most of the time since first ofJune.
The crops, both corn and cotton, are
certainly in worse fix than | have ever
seen them at this season of the year.
and have cen a good deal of the cron
in this portion of the county. A crcot
deal of corn and cotton has not been
worked at al, up to this time. Ii is n
settled matter that the crop of cotton
will be very short, no matter what sort
OF seasons we hnyc the balance of the
year; for when cotton is in the grass
like il is now the freedmen will plow
and hoe it up until there will not be
stalks enough left after ii is cleaned
out to make halfa crop, no matter how
favorable the seasons are. And corn
is so badly damaged by the wet wealth
er it cannot make more than half Il
crop with best seasons We possibly
could have. The crab grass and chick
cn corn have termed yellow from the
wet weather and still il is raining; very
rain to-day. The crops over in
Alabama are not far behind our side
of the line Judging from the way the
A|ahamiaus ere coming over here hunt
runaway freedmen.
