State Journal
The Chicago. Kansas & Nebraska rail-
way. Rock Island route. called meet
ing of the Kansas association of general
passenger and ticket agents. to be held
at Kansas City. Wednesday, January -,
for the purpose of getting joint action
with all lines interested in Kansas bust
ness, for a series of excursions into that
state the coming spring and summer.
The Chicago. Kansas & Nebraska claim
that Kansas interests must be protected
by joining with the people in the inter
ests of emigration, and that inasmuch
as all lines interested in Texas and Cali
fornia business now running excursions
into those states. they also propose doing
the same for Kansas, and Will ask other
lines to join. This is the kind of enter
prise that makes boOms and induces en-
igration. The people of northern
Kansas have already held one meeting
at Clay Center. and have called another
at Belleville the 26th of this month.
Large sums of money are being raised
for the purpose of sending agents east to
look up emigration. and northern Kansas
is wide awake to the importance of this
matter Topeka and all other points on
the Rock Island ought to organize and
do the same thing.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Anthony's Railroads

Anthony Republican.
1t will be but short time now until
| Anthony will be one of the best supplied
cities in the state in the matter of rail
roads. The Missouri Pacific. always
ready to do the square thing by It's pat
rons, have put on an extra through eN-
press train. and now we have SIN regular
trains per day on that line.
Matters are moving right along as fast
as they can be pushed on the Border
road, and dirt will be flying on this adj
ditional connection as soon as the frost
leaves the ground. This will give us at
least two more passenger trains each,,way
per day, aside from the freights.
Then, that wide awake, energetic city
of Wichita is alive to its interests and
friendly to those of Anthony, and will
lend us every aid in extending the Mid
land to connection with its sister line,
the Border. bringing its freight and pas
senger traffic and increasing business in
every way.
Wellington. too, is very friendly to-
ward Anthony, and one of its most prom
inent citizens. state officer. recently in
formed citizen of our place that they
were ready to shake hands with us and
do everything in their power to send the
Rock Island to us. This will be mat
ter of easy accomplishment. as we now
own the road bed to that live city, and
the work of laying the iron will be 2
short duration
In addition to this the Union Pacific
folks assure us they are bound to come
here, and the bonds have been voted to
that road.
The Santa Fe. whose boast is that their
system will reach every county seat in
the state, and whose practice is to put a
line in wherever they see other roads
heading for, will be sure to come to us.
and thus give us another line.
These roads, of course, will not only
benefit Anthony but the county as we'll
The taxes which they will pay, will
alone be very large sum in the treas
ury of the county. which will be of vast
benefit aside from that which will ac-
crue from additional population, in
creased value of real estate. lesser rates
of transportation and additional facilities
for transportation.
What we now need is determination
to secure these roads as soon as possible.
Marsh Murdoch. who has done more fer
the upbuilding of Wichita than any
other man there. told one of our citizens
when they wanted railroad they went
after it. and kept going until they got it.
This is sensible advice, and the true
secret of the success of that wonderful
city. Let us emulate their example and
keep going" until wo have not only the
railroads. but city which holds out in

Chairman Mills of the ways and means

no State better adapted to grape culture,
and the growing of small fruits, as well
as large than in this Switzerland OF Amer

ton, who shall be appointed and paid a
cool salary by the State, who shall spend
mis- entire time in calling the attention Of
immigrants to our State with all its great
advantages. We want also, a complete
geological survey 80 that capitalists may
know lust what we have in mineral wealth
We must also 50 conduct ourselves a. to
