SHE DOES ASPIRE.

Wichita must extend her railway
system to the growing west if she
becomes what she aspires to be-the
leading commercial city of the state.
And, from what our committee on
the same errend reported to us, the
eagle Line" is to be built where it
will do the most good to Wichita, and
that will be through this portion of
the country. Any one who has ever
visited Wichita must admit that it is q
success. The city has acted in unison
and for the common welfare of the
city and people. Any movement that
could advance the interests of the city
in any way, has been carried into eff
feet. 1t has never made any differ
euce to Wichita who or what faction
advanced the theory, the question
was sis it for the good of the city, -
aud if it was, it was acted upon with
out delay.-Stafford Democrat.

F. III. KoIlock returned from his trip
east last Sunday evening. He says
that our people have every reason to
feel encouraged over the prospects of
securing our north ana south road,
and that he believes the road will be
built as far as this city this summer.
Exactly what action will be taken is
not yet definitely known, as it takes
time to arrange for enterprises of such
proportions. We are bound to have
the road and within the time named,
as the route laid out possesses advan-
tages that are far superior to any in
this part of the stste.-Peabody

MOUNT HOPE.
Editor of the Eagle

To the Editor of the Eagle:
As brief outline of the prospects
of this charming little business center,
may be of interest 10 the many read
ers Of the EAGLE. will endeavor to
give You something of our impressions
concerning the place, and also its pos
sibiiities, with the advantages TO be
derived in connection with her re-
Gently acquired railroad facilities.
The Eagle line, also known as the
Wichita and Colorado road, have
finished their grade to the county
line, two miles west of Mount Hope,
while the rails are laid to this point,
and about Tuesday next regular trains
are expected to be running to Mount
Hope.
Wishing to secure circulation of
the EAGLE among the business men of
this thriving place. your correspon-
dent boarded the $50 train Friday
morning out of Wichita, and arrived
here in time to breakfast at the Buck
eye house, of which MIR. George W.
Burdine is the accommodating landlord,
and after satisfying an appetite
which had been pleasantly stimu-
lated by our early morning ride,
The next thing on the list was TO
cali on the business men and get their
subscriptions, which was successfully
accomplished and q round dozen
added to the EAGLES list. 1t is really
surprising that Mt. Hope could have
grown to be such thrifty business
center; yet it has been for long time
one of the brightest and most success
full points for trade in Sedgwick
county, and this position has been
sustained without q railroad, the
nearest being eleven miles distant.
The secret of its success, however, is
in the exceedingly fine country sur
rounding it. which is also well settled
with good class of farmers who hav e
found it convecient to do their trading
here. And with the advent of the
railroad the town will double or
treble in size within year; and al
ready real estate is in demand with

COLWICH "STARTLERS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Our building boom continues witt
greater force and the predominant cry
now is, "Where can | find carpen.
teri" Town lots are selling rapidly
and the choice ones dwindling il
number. These lots are twenty-five
feet wide, 40 feet long and warranted
to be 1900 miles deep; an immense
pile of dirt for $25. You could grade
up a railroad ten feet high and twenty
feet wide clear around the earth and
then out to the moon and circle around
that two or three times and then back
again to Colwich. Why, you could
build mountain as big around as Po-
pocatapetl and as high as the hopes OF
the average American schOol-boy-
its simply astonishing when you think
what can be done in Colwich with but

of goods and it keeps himself aINi two

booming tendencies close at hand. AS
an evidence that such is the case we
we're informed by reliable parties that
several thousand dollars worth of lots
had been sold since the grade had
been finished to the town. The new
buildings that will be put up this
spring include four handsome brick
business houses, which will be erect
ed on the site of those destroyed by
fire last fall. One of these, the Farm
ers and Drovers Bank will use, and
the others will be mostly occupied by
now firms. 1t is also worthy of note
that the residences here are better
than the average to be found in places
of the same size, and some of them
will compare favorably with the finest
in Wichita.
Good water also being requisite
for the prosperity of any town or sec
ton, Mt. Hope can claim an advan-
tage in this respect, as the water in
this neighborhood is perhaps the very
best in Sedgwick county. The popu-
lation of the town is estimated at
three hundred and fifty. There is
also good public library which is well
sustained. The town company is rep
resented by the following gentlemen:
President, T. Ii. Randall; secretary,
c. A. Bardshar; directors, DR.. j. d.
