E. B. COwGILL, state sugar inspector
for Kansas, announces that the pros
poets of the sorghum industry in that
state this year are unusually bright. By
August or September nine mills will be
in operation in the state, and to supply
them will require from 20, 900 to &c, 900
acres of cane. The acreage promises
to be sufficient and the crop in fine
condition. 1t is expected that Kansas
will make such advances this year in
the sorghum industry as will cause her
to take an important rank among the
sugar producing states of the Union.
If this shall prove to be the case, the
value of her lands will be increased by
a very large observation-disclosures City

THE Burlingame Chronicle says that
s'eyen the trees in Kansas partake OF
the glorious principles of republican
ism.'' Yes, Kansas trees this year are
wonderfully full of sap at the top, like
republican editors; and awfully green,
like republican farmers who voted for
high protection and oligarchy. But,
like the republican party, they have
grown too rapidly to be able to stand
adverse winds that one day will sweep
over the land.

To be Extended South.

Here is an item from the Hoisington
Dispatch which will prove interesting
reading:
Authentic word has just been re-
ceived that work on the Great Bend
extension, extending said branch to
Seward, distance of thirteen miles,
win be commenced in thirty days. This
is done in order to connect the Larned
extension of the Missouri Pacific with
this their Colorado line. This means
much for Hoisington. 1t will make
this the end of the run on the division
between here and Cofeyville, thus in
creasing the present railroad force by
at least one-half. It has been the in
tention of the company all along to
connect the Great Bend branch with
the Larned extension, but we had not
anticipated that work would be begun
so soon."
