The report was in circulation the
other day that the Missouri Pacific
had purchased the John NJ. Ericsson
farm, northeast Of town, for the pur-
pose Of locating their shops thereon.
An enquiry revealed the fact that
some Of this property had been secnr-
ed by option by certain citizens, 30
that an offer Of land in proper form
could be made to the company should
the company demand 1t in considera-
ton Of the location Of the shops here.
II has been alleged In some circles
that the Republican candidate for
Representative, Mr.. Amos, editor Of
Of the Gypsum Valley Echo, has been
opposed TO Salina and fighting our
city in his paper. This is not the case.
Mr.. Amos has opposed the gentlemen
composing the town company Of
Chico, but has only had good words
for Salina. The structures on Saiins
and Sslina people were published in
the Gypsum Banner, and the eOnfus.
sion Of the papers was probably the
origin OF the rumOr.

shall return absolute dollars and cents on
the investment. We have recently had a
fresh illustration of the way in which the
power Of the Empire is made to aid the
business of the country. A Saxon firm
sent a number Of sewing machines TO Madrid
but before they were delivered the house
in which they were consigned went TO pieces
The Spanish Government seized the ma
chimes and offered them for sale. The Saxton
firm protested, but the Spaniards were
Obdurate. Finally the sewing-macbine men
appealed TO Bismarck, who acted with his
accustomed promptness. The matter was
laid before the Spanish Embassy and inside
of a week the Saxon firm was informed that
the Spanish Government had receded from its
position and the machines would be returned
TO the shippers This indicates the policy
that we will have 10 pursue if we are going
TO push our foreign commerce We will have
TO meet the German, French, and English
Governments with equal promptness and
protect our merchants wherever they are
trading with equal firmness.
