IMMIGRATION TO KANSAS.

The Immigration bureau held specia
meeting in this city yesterday and pre-
pared the following address, which they
caused to be printed in the form of 6
| circular letter, to be sent through the
mails to all parts of the state. The mat
ter is important, and of interest to all
and should command prompt attention
WICHITA, January 3, 1890.
| To the people of the State of Kansas:
Some time in November, A. D. 1889
some gentlemen in Kansas. representing
several counties in the southwest, be-
| lieving that the time had come for Kan
sas to again commence the agitation oil
immigration for Kansas. Ascertaining
that the Trans Missouri Passenger asso-
cation would hold meeting at Omaha,
Neb., on December 10, 1889, acommittee
was sent to Omaha to lay the matter be-
fore the association. At the meeting
attended by this committee there were
petitions from other local organizations.
The committee received no encourage
ment for a local movement and the
petitions before the asso-
citation were not considered.
The Trans Missouri association de-
claring IN positive terms that no local
movement would be co-operated with by
the railroad companies. Acting on this
suggestion the committee returned
home and with the concurrence of fifteen
counties, representing various parts of
the state, made a call for a convention
to meet at Wichita January -, 1890, at
which to organize state immigration
bureau and formulate a plan to obtain
the grandest results from the united
labor and brain of the entire state.
To create an organization of less mag
nitude than the entire state deprives the
organization of the rates to be made by
the railroads. The cheapness of which
rate will make the movement effective
and powerful.
The present design is for the represen-
tatives appointed from each county to
meet and decide on the number of rep
resentatives from each county and then
elect permanent officers-president
secretary, treasurer and board of direc-
tors. Such officers to be chosen by the
convention from all parts of the state,
and the board of directors to appoint the
committees on excursion rates, adver-
Using matter, and perform such other

to be successful must be
by state harmony and unity.
Indifference in this matter means fail
ure. And believing that every county
in Kansas can demonstrate to the east
that it can make investors good returns,
and offer farms cheap, and fertile lands,
we urge on every newspaper in Kansas,
every city and county, to send able,
men to this convention, who can
assist in this work.
A series of excursions-worked UP by
able agents in the east-over every rail-
road line in Kansas cannot but prove
beneficial to every county in Kansas,
and make the year A. D. 1890 memoir
able, successful, profitable to our citi-
zens and glorious for the state.

From the Parsons Journal.
Don't get narrow minded. The world
is quite plauet; there is considerable
room on its surface, and among its bill
lion and half of people there must
necessarily be wide difference of honest
opinion. Be liberal enough to candidly
investigate all things and shire wd enough
to ''hold FAST only that which is good
and true. Don't condemn a thing be-
cause you fail to comprehend it; don't
get big headed and pig headed because
once or twice you have accidentally made
what your contracted mind considers a
hit. 1t is barely possible that somewhere
on earth there may be some one almost.
if not quite, as clever as yourself. Be
liberal in small things, and in time lib

of your most pleasing characteristics.

Press Comments.

Pratt Republican,: There is a proba-
bility of heavy immigration to Kansas
the coming year. The heavy crop this
season, and the favorable prospects of
another the coming year are strong argu-
ments in favor of leaving the old stumpy
hills of the east and settling on the broad
fertile valleys of the west. 1t is true
that the very low prices of grain is a lit
tie disheartening to an eastern adventur-
er, but the prices here are nearly as high
as they are in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,
and taking the high value Of lands into
consideration, prices here are still better
than there. The indications are that the
coming year will see many covered
wagon rolling over the hills and valleys
of the eastern states bound for the west.
