FORECLOSURE SALE.

Wichita eagle., 1889-05-31

It is only question of time when the
reduction demanded for Wichita will also
be asked for dozen rivals, and eventually
for the entire state.-Railway Gazette.
Wichita has no rivals in the state OF
Kansas, and never had. The New York
Railway Gazette can very soon satisfy
itself on that point by referring to the
bank clearing house reports of the coun-
try which reaches the Gazette Office
every Saturday. In taxable wealth, in
aggregated business, in stately business
edifices, in the number and greatness OF
her schools and churches, by every rec
ognized standard is Wichita not only the
greatest city in Kansas but has no rivals
in any sense, that of pretension excepted.
Wichita eagle., 1889-05-31
AND SHE Is.A JoBB1NG CENTER.

Several papers have been quoting the
editorial of the New York Railway Ga
zette on the recent decision of the Kan
sas railway commissioners but they all
took pains TO leave out this paragraph:
Kansas City is the great center for Kan
sas traffic. Wichita is about 200 miles to
the southwest, an ambitious, prosperous
city, which hopes to secure the trade Of
southern Kansas and the newly opened
Indian territory. The older Missouri city,
however, holds its own; hence the need of
jobbin5 advantages and recognition" at
Wichita as trade center. The state rail-
road commission. in long opinion, favors
Wichita and commands the Kansas roads
TO make the necessary reductions.
We only would repeat and emphasize
the fact that Wichita is 227 miles away
from the Missouri river, Wichita is am
bilious, Wichita is prosperous and
Wichita viii secure the trade of south
ern Kansas and the newly opened In
dian territory; and, being a jobbing CEN
ter and shown to be such to the salts
faction of the Kansas board of railway
commissioners, they did command the
railroads to recognize Wichita, and that
is all there is of it,

KINGMAN SALT.

Kansas City Gazette.
Mr.. D. R. Cole, OF White Church, has
returned from a two weeks visit to
Kingman, where he has daughter liv-
ing. He deposited on our table 9 guam
tity Of salt found at that place. He says
there are five or six salt plants at work
there making a hundred barrels of salt a
day, which they are selling at the rate of
eighty cents barrel. The people start
edto bore for gas, and at seven hundred
feet struck a six foot vein of salt A
shoSt distance further down another
seven foot vein was penetrated. At
eight hundred feet they struck a two
hundred foot vein of solid salt. A shaft
has reached depth of seven hundred
and twenty-five feet. A great deal of the
salt is Of red color, while some is so
clear white that one can almost read
through it.

MINERALS IN OKLAHOMA.

From the Guthrie optic.
Yesterday and to-day excitement in
speculation circles has run high over the
rich find of mineral iron ore about four
miles southwest of the city. There is
nothing fictitious about it as we are
ready to demonstrate to any one who
will take the trouble to call at the Optic
office. This morning we dispatched a
specialist to investigate and report to us
direct. At 1 o'clock he returned jubilant
with the extraordinary richness and
beauty Of the field and brought with him
as fine specimen of iron ore as has
ever been seen. He reports that there
is large field directly southwest Of the
city where iron groupings may be
seen in great abundance. The ore
is peculiar rich variety and equal to
the best in the world. The crude mate
rial will assay fully so to 10 per cent of
fine quality of ore. If the development
of this field proves what it promises
Oklahoma will come to the front as the
greatest iron ore producing country in
the world.
Already a large number of mineral
claims have been staked off and tomor-
row a company will be organized and
operations begun at once. A surveyor
has been engaged to arrange and locate
in the morning. We repeat what we
said some time ago, there Is both min
eral and coal in abundance in the terri
tory, and all it requires to verify what
we say is an investigation.

With degree of admirable magma
nimity the Newton Republican states. as
1T says, for the benefit of few people III
this state who are scoring Attorney Cen
eral General kellogg for appointing his
wife his assistant, THAT there is no such
office as assistant attorney general. Mrs.
Kellogg was appointed chief clerk in the
attorney generals oftice-salary 1850
per year. And until the state of Kansas
can pay her officers larger salaries it is
perfectly right that they should take in
their entire family if they desire to. The
small salaries paid scarcely admit of a
family living in Topeka. the most ex-
pensive town IL the state, not TO say
anything of the constant demands made
upon our state officers by beggars of all
sorts and descriptions. If Mr.. Kellogg
wants 10 give either or both of his boys q
clerkship-they are capable young men,
and it Is none of the states or petty poll
ticians' business SO long as the work Of
the Office is well done" The Republican
is more generous than the wife of the
Kentuckian who was elected Justice of
the peace. The jealous dame silenced
the clamor of the little would-be justices
with: DRY up, you brats; there amt
nobody 'lected magistrates but NE and

The EAGLES guess is that the party
alleged to have been arrested as John
Hillman, on whose life certain insur-
ance companies carried heavy policies,
which they refuse to pay because of I'M
satisfactory proof to them of his death,
will never be brought to this state. He
will "get away from the party who
claims to have him in hand, just as ne
did @ two years ago; but this will serve
as basis for a further stay of settle
ment by the contending assurers, which,
there is little doubt, is the object Of the
Scheme.

NEW SYSTEM OF CANAL PROPUL-
zion.
New Orleans Picayuue.

New Orleans Picayune.
A new system Of canal construction
has been designed and recently patented
by an Englishman. The object is to do
away entirely with the necessity for
steam or horse power in canal traffic,
and this end is sought to be attained by
the creation of a current of water strong
enough to carry the boats along from
point to point Mr.. Pickard has designed
a double canal, at one end of which is a
screw resembling the propeller of a
steamship. This screw, which is worked
by steam power, forces the current in
one direction and causes it to return in
the parallel division Of the canal, the di-
rection of the current being reversible at
will. By this arrangement all loss of
water is obviated and the bed Of the
canal is kept clean. This current is, of
course, confined to each separate level of
canal, and when locks intervene another
current has to be created.

AS predicted in these columns two
days ago, the man Woodruff, alias
Black, has given the Chicago police Off
Gals the first reliable information they
have had concerning the Cronin MUIR
der, and that only as to the details of the
crime. Nothing positive is known at to
the cause of the fiendish crime, though
nobody doubts that it was political af-
fair, or at least the outgrowth and Sc
quel to break that occurred in secret
political organization of which the muir
dered man was a member. 1t is doubt
full if this connection will ever be estab-
lished, but there is little doubt in the
public MUD that such is the fact.

receding from the sun and, therefore,
being less and less subject to solar at
traction, it must be constantly expand
ing and SO that our oceans are gradually
becoming shallow. This is likely to
necessitate the carving out of the con-
tinents with canals as is done in the
planet Mars and possibly in the planets
Saturn and Jupiter. This style of pre-
diction creates suspicion that Virgins

Sedgwick Paragraph: ""Wichita Is
to have another large new elevator with
a capacity of half million bushels Of
grain. This new elevator will be COM
pleted and ready to receive the new
crop. Thus the great city is gradually
but surely forging ahead of all her jeal-
GUS would-be rivals. The fact Of the
matter is that there is no city in the
west that offers the inducements to cap
ital or can compete with Wichita in
anything"

combination known as Kansas City,
Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, what
will be the condition of that combination

market for the greatest grain growing
district in the country, and also the

The Wichita EAGLE comes back at the
Gazette somewhat savagely for simply
doing by our town what the EAGLE is
doing by its eyrie. What is the matter
with other towns having rate facilities
equal with Wichita--k. c. Gazette.
None. Now what is the matter with
Wichita having rate facilities equal with
Kansas City?
Having asked US plump question
and gotten a direct answer what harm
would there be in asking you to talk
sense?
Wichita, doing five times the whole
sale business done in Kansas City, Kan,
or by any other town in Kansas, why
are you SO foolish as to deny Wichita
a distributing rate in the interest of her
customers, who are Kansas people?
Wichita eagle., 1889-05-31

The Emporia Republican says that the
EAGLE claims special freight rates on
the ground that Wichita sold 1886, 900 OF
her bonds. That's no worse for the
EAGLE than the Republican publishing
the opinions of the Railway Gazette
against Wichita, a paper published in
New York and directly in the interest of
the railroads.

The Haytian matter, it seems at least
possible, may develop into a condition

Denver capitalists are at present ac-

Wichita years ago had her supremacy
rackets with Topeka and Leavenworth
and Atchison, which towns wouldn't
consent that greater than they had
arisen in the land. But those fights. to-
gether with some of the windmill char
acter nearer home, have all long since
been disposed of. The last struggle is
on. 1t is to force ike recognition from
Kansas City, St. Louis and other jobbinC
points, whose interests are backed by the
railways. The last racket, while the
greatest, will be the quickest over. Its
already practically ended. Wichita don't
care if every town west of the Missouri
river is given Missouri river rate on
any conceivable basis, or according TO
any standard that even the railways may
invent themselves. Wichita is doing a
great business and all that she asks is
that that business shall be permitted to
stand upon its own merits; that that bus
mess, IN other words. shall not be de-
stroyed IN the interest of local traffic
schedules or preconceived notions of
railway arrangements. and it won't he.

The Kansas City Gazette says that the
railway commissioners are going to con-
slider the formal request of dozen Kan
sas towns On the 4th of June. Oh, yes,
courts every day, are hearing dozen
cases at a time and all at once. All the
same, that does not change our opinion
that the Gazette is being edited by an
insane asylum.

Wichita's trades carnival is oyer. An
account of it filed whole page in the
Wichita EAGLE, probably at Is cents a
line; if not, it ought to have been.-To-
peka Democrat.
Unfortunately for the EAGLE, per-
haps, it never asked Is cents, nor a cent,
line for the publishing of any matter,
however expensive to the paper itself,
when such matter was in the interest of
Wichita or in that of any of her institu-
tons or people. There are certain bur-
dens in every community that must be
borne, and the EAGLE bears those of
Wichita whenever it is possible to do so.
The EAGLES bank account may be
thereby weaker, but the paper is all the
stronger with and for its town.
