A Great Desert.

1t is just dawning upon the people
why the early geographers pictured this
territory as the Great American
Desert" To the democrat with polit-
zeal aspirations, there is no more bar
reH spot upon the face of the earth
than our beautiful and luXuTiant
pTairies. From the region that borders
the Missouri, westward to the foot hills
of the Rockies, tie whole eXpanSe is,
to him, desert sands, partially covered
with coarse grasses, creeping plants,
with here and there a small clump of
Stunted wood and a patch of sage
brush. He sometimes imagiues that
he sees in the distance q re-SubmiSSion-
agitation or republican-factiOnakdiS-
SensiOn oasis, but after travelling for
weary months over burning sands,
under hot republican rays, he finds
that the beautiful picture of ''murmur-
ing leaves, Of gay wild flowers, of tink-
ling waterfalls" was only mirage. a
vivid reflection against the sky of the
| republicans paradise into which no un-
TepeIt9nt democrat is ever permitted
to enter. Truly to the democrat this
| is q great desert,

SIGNAL TOWERS.
Two Government Stations Located
in This County.

Two Government Stations Located
in This County.
There has been in this vicinity for a
few days Major &. c. Simmons, Of the
L. s. Coast 4 Geographical Survey,
who has a large force of men erecting
government signal towers through this
section OF Kansas. The government,
tor the purpose of locating more ex-
actly points of interest, like cities,
lakes, etc, began three years ago the
location OF connected line of signal
stations along the S9th parallel of north
latitude from the Atlantic to the Pa
cilic.
This parallel passes through Dickin-
son county. dividing north and south
the townships of Noble, Hayes, Buck
eye and WiIlewdale. Consequently the
line Of stations passes through north
Dickinson. The plan of the locations
is to have signal towers at an approx.
mate distance of twenty five miles
across the entire nation, they being
placed on eminences so that each one
can be discerned from its neighbOr or
the east and west, thus arranging line
Of signals for the entire course.
The work which Major Cummings is
engaged in just now is erecting two
towers in this county. One, and the
more important of the two, is being
placed Oh the Wilmer farm in Fragrant
Hill township. Though seven or eight
miles distant from the parallel it is
upon the highest eminence in the vicin'
itv and on the only elevation from
which it can be seen at the next point
near Salina.
This tower will be 40 feet in height
solidly constructed and having in the
base a small house in which the OBJ
server, or keeper OF the tower will live
Major Cummings with a corps of en-
| gineeTS expects to make MS neadquar'
tiers here for three months next fall
taking observations and surveys,
Another tower, about thirty feet il
height, will be built in Buckeye town
ship on the Fry place as nearly as may
be on the seth parallel. This will be
visible from the Fragrant Hill tower
and so by a sort of carom the line viii
again strike the parallel in Saline
county.
Major Cummings has been in the EN-
plcy of the government in this kind OF
| work for several years and thoroughly
understands his business. The force
that he has under him consists Of
twelve teams, government wagons
teamsters, carpenters, etc. The lum
Der for the erection of the towers was
purchased of the Chicago Lumber Co
Monday and the labOrers are busily al
work putting up the structures.
