ANTHONY.
To the Editor OF the EAGLE.

To tue kOltOr Oh the tAAGLE.
Yesterday marked another step in An
thongs progress. The event of the day
was the testing of the water works con
structed by F. Tiernan & Co., of your city
As announced in your special dispatches
this morning, the works have more than
met the expectations of the people of An
thony and more and filled the guarantee of
the company The test was made under
the direction of Col Walker, Francis Tier
nan and Mr.. Simmons. engineer, on the
part of the company, and Mayor Black
burn and members Of the city council on
the part of the city Of Anthony
1t took but a short time to prove the ef-
ficiency of the works, but the men who
constituted the fire company enjoyed the
drill and kept it up till the whole city was
drenched. The water supply for the city
is insxhaustible and is derived from Spring
creek. clear, running stream which is a
tributary to Bluff creek. and runs short
distance from the west limits of the city,
where the engine and pump house is locat-
ed The standpipe is in the north end of
town on high ground. 1t is $50 feet in
height which gives all the pressure needed
for ordinary purposes. In case Of fire the
pressure comes directly from the engine.

A FISH STORY.
From the Commonwealth,

From the Commonwealth,
| Marsh Murdock left Wichita recently
and wgs absent three days on fishing
tour In the meantime Wichita's boom
! was stagnation itself, and a committee OF
business men was appointed to 60 after and
without fail return with the great boomer
editor The committee, after long search,
discovered Mr.. Murdock in quiet nook in
Butler county, with rod in hand, angling
for the silvery bass. The circumstances of
the case were explained to him and he re-
turned with the committee by the first
train. The morning following his return
the EAGLE came out in a double loaded
editorial, headed: 'Wichita's Future
In his leader Mr. Murdock depicted Wichi-
ia city of 10000, with factories
and railroads without number, and
he wound up with the following:
''In the face of these magnificent prospects
can any capitalist for an instants doubt but
that investments in Wichita real estate will
in time prove profitable. On the strength
of the EAGLES statements it is reported
that prominent eastern capitalist bought
a $2Q, 900 piece of property upon which he
paid $500 down, balance on time
The fishing tour is admitted, but Wich-
ita's boom never stagnates. Her boom no
longer calls for any artificial support. 1t
stands alone, very erect and very stiff The
picture was never sat for by us in another
particular in that we never set the bounds
of the states great commercial center at
$50, 900 population. We would even grant
Topeka that many people within dozen
or more years AS for the investments of
eastern capitalists in Wichita real estate we
plead guilty of being the direct influence
for millions of dollars of such investments,
but until the Commonwealth or some one
else finds some single dissatisfied investor
we must be excused if we continue to
point out the many great advantages pos
sessed by this city over all of the many
towns and cities of the west
Verify, Wichita boometh, and this is no
ish story.

close one. They would not listen to any
opposition from the fact that few men are
his equal in accomplishing work in any
deliberative body. He seldom resorts to
speech making, but SO honest, faithful and
comprehensive is his work that all opposi-
ton vanishes We of course don't know
that Tacoma or that that district is desiring
anything special at the hands of the terri
torial legislature, but if they should, John
NJ. Steele will not only fully comprehend
that want but secure its satisfaction if with
in the realm of possibilities. So here's to
his success and to the discriminating wis
dom of the people who have SO soon learned
his value as a man and as citizen.

1t will be with no small degree of graft
fication upon the part Of thousands of peo
pie of this city, not only, but the entire
state of Kansas, to learn that our former
fellow townsman and their respected and
honored friend, Hon j. NJ Steels has been
nominated by the Republicans of his dis
trict for the territorial council of Washing
ton Territory. The position is equivalent
to that of state senator in Kansas. The
convention, which honored themselves by
honoring so capable. earnest and true a
man, met in Tacoma. which place has been
his home since he left the sunhower state.
The nomination came without solicitation
upon his part, and in fact We believe was
unlocked for If the people of that coun-

RICHFIELD
And the Beautiful and Rich County of Morton

Several years ago distinguished writer
| with something more of enthusiasm than
reverence, gave it as his opinion that thu
Creator could have made better country
than Kansas, but that he had never done
so. At the time of making that statement
the southwestern portion of the state was
unknown, or said writer might not even
have made the above admission.
Here the highest possibilities seem to
have been reached in the way Of rich soil
and beautiful landscape.
Morton county is in the extreme south
western portion of the state, its west line
joining the state of Colorado and the Forth
line Of the neutral strip or NO Man S
Land, constituting its southern boundary
Although the stream of emigration did
not reach it until after all the other coun-
ties had begun to fill up, it presents so
many attractive features to the home seeker
that it promises soon to outstrip the older
counties in population and wealth.
One great advantage that Morton county
possesses is in the water supply, which can
be secured in abundance at depth of from
forty to sixty feet. Besides this the CHM
arron river running almost diaconally
through the county from southwest to
northeast, affords permanent water sup
ply to large portion of its territory.
OF course the fairest roses have their
thorns in proof Of which Morton county
has her range of sand hills extending across
the southern portion Of the county, but
these occupy something less than one fourth
of the county, and, while they cannot be
occupied for agricultural purposes or sup
port dense population, they will afford
pas:urage for immense herds of cattle.
thereby being a greater source Of wealth
than if all the territory were susceptible for
occupancy
Located in the center OF the fairest sec
ton Of this county is the booming town Of
Richtie!d. Though only little over one
year old the town has large volume OF
trade. Its growth has never been forced,
but it has simply kept pace with the growth
of surrounding settlements
The settlers here, as in other portions of
the extreme western part of the state. con-
sisi largely of emisrants from Eastern Kan
sas. Many have considerable means: which
with their faith in Kansas and their expert

OLEOMARGlRINE.
Professor lsabGOck and Others Re-
fore Ilie Senate Committee.

fore ttic SENATE Committed.
WASHINGTON, June lG.-ProfeEsor Bah
cock, of the Boston board of health, and
n chemist, WINS the first gentleman to adj
dress the members Of the Senate COM
mittee on agriculture and forestry and
the large audience assembled in the com.
mittee room on the subject of oleomarga-
rine this morning. It was his duty, he
said, to see that the law of Massachu-
sets requiring that oleomargarine should
be sold under its proper name was en-
forced. In the great majority of cases
the law was obeyed. In one yehr he made
3,371 inspections, and found 30 per cent
of the oleomargarine sold properly, and
had issued warrants for arrest in the other
cases. There were thousands of persons
in the city of Boston who buy butterine,
knowing perfectly well what il is. II was
marked bntterine, sold for butterine and
the price paid was the price of butterine.
The same statement applies to oleomar-
garine. Many dealers in Boston took
more than the precautions prescribed by
law 10 inform their customers what they
were buying. In many of the factory
towns the operatives and their families
were unable to buy butter, and but for
butter or anythinganswering its purpose
It was of course true that many boarding.
houses and restaurant keepers placed il
on the table as butter, and also in some
cases was sold rs butter. But in like
manner did some people sell sugar sand
as "all sugar" lie believed oleomarga.
rine was healthful, and should be sold
under its true name. A law compelling
il TO sail under its true name would be
wise and could be enforced.
Mr.. George u. Webster of the firm of
Armour Il Co. of Chicago said his firm
manufactured large quantities of oleo oil,
oleomargarine, neutral oil and butterine.
About two-thirds of all the oleo oil man
ufactured by them was shipped abroad to
be there manufactured, and the other
third was manufactured in this country.
He thought the discovery of oleomargarine
had increased the value of each head OF
cattle S3 by reason of the increased value
of the fat utilized in the manufacture OF
oleo oil. Should n tax be imposed, il
would inure wholly TO the benefit of oleo
manufacturers in foreign countries with
whom the United States had to compete
The manufacture gave employment &c
about 20, 900 persons, while the manufac
ture of the oil from which the two were
made gave employment, directly and in.
directly, TO about thrice that number.
