FROM THE EAST.

Mr.. F. F.. Parmenter has been talking
quite vigorously ever since his return from
the east about rapid immi migration to
Kansas. He says he has been east a num-
ber of times since he came west and he
never before heard as much talk about
coming to the state The eastern farmer
who has been looking up the Kansas ques-
ton, he claims, are anxious To get here
and will be on hand in thousands this
spring. Those of towns and cities who
want to engage in pursuits at points with
railroad advantages talk of Wichita.
Beyond Missouri no other city is men
toned. Farther east people know Kansas
by Wichita, and he says that the prospect
is good for more people to come TO the
city this spring and summer than on any
previous year The great boom of the
west had set In circulation vast amount
of information of various states
which are so rapidly improving. This
in his opinion will add greatly to the
wealth of Kansas
"As it is known that climate is the sole
commendable feature of California but
few will go there; but as the superior
merit of this state is known we can reason

Another gentleman who has been east
some weeks and been circulating among
business men and capitalists, says: Gap
ital east is afraid to invest in any sort Of
an enterprise there for many reasons. This
fact is going to be good thing for Kan
sas. You see they are now many OF them
and fast will be coming to the belief that
lands are good investments and sure OF
fair profits. They are also coming TO the
conclusion that they are sure of better
profits in all enterprises west and as re
suit eastern money comes west more and
more, which will have tendency TO i'm
part an increased commercial activity"
