THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
From her ! learned about the
public schools. The school pop
ulatiOn Of the city is l,9Oj
the teachers number twenty-five
| Prof. a. II. owen is superintendent
The city is well provided Will
school buildings-there is hieE
school and seven ward school hOus'
-, all fine buildings.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Indeed all the public buildings OI
the city are superior in style and
/ architecture. Illustrative, having
/ secured pictures of some of the more
prominent buildings, they are pro.
| duced herewith. Attention il call.
/ ed to the college buildings, and when
/ il comes to the secret societies, the
| organizations have no greater
| strength elsewhere, in towns Of the
same size, as in Salina. POintedly
and pertinently cOrrObOrative OF
| this, / call attention to the pictures
OF temple, lodge or wigwam OF the
| different orders In this city, as re-
produced along with my writing.
HANDSOME HOMES.
And what portrayed here Is true
/ Of the business blocks and dOubly
true when the handsome homes are
viewed. Notably among them is
A. p. Collins, on Highland avenue
Judge PTescOtt's, W. X. Gels, NJ.
NJ. Briggs, Dr.J. w. Daily's, Oscar
! Seitz's, Prof. +. NJ. HamiltOn's, DR..
| w. b. Dewees'-but II | were to 20
on enumeTating the beautiful homes
enscOned in groves and shrubbery
here, | would just repeat the direc-
tory of the city.
MILLS And FACTORIES, ETC.
Generous nature, in making 50
/ good a country as surrounds this
/ city, invited industry. That IA
turn, bestowed, has peOpled SAlina
| and her people, besides commercial
| business, are reaching out to build
up manufacturing interests. There
is no place in Kansas where there /.
something that nature affords, thai
urges enterprise to undertake il.
development. IL is so here. With
great deposits Of gypsum, at hand
the manufacture Of plastOT OF Paris
stuccO ornaments and castings
| should be-and will be at an early
day. There are splendid deposits OF
| pOtters' clay here, and a very su.
periOr quality Of brick making ealy-
the color being cream, the same a
the brick that has made Milwaukee
| famous the world over as the Cream
city. But manufactures are moi
wholly in cOntemplatlOn-industry
and enterprise have alreade taken
hold. There are four Touring mills
| G. r. Underwood & Co. have two OI
a capacity of 80 and 200 barrels re.
! spectively; the Salina mills have d
capacity of 800 barrels daily and the
| Novelty mills turn out 100 barrels
per day. These mills are modern
in their equipments, and their pat.
rOnage does not belong wholly Ia
this state, or the United States
