say that the population will never
be less than at present, and those
who may come in hereafter will be
of a much better class than those of

A Brief Description Of Our City and
Business Interests.

We are in receipt of a great many
letters from our foreign subscribers,
as well as from those who are not,
requesting information on various
topics. Some ask if there is an
opening for a new dry goods or
grocery store. Others wish to know
how many hardware or furniture
stores there are in Wa-Keeney, the
amount Of capital employed in par
ticular branches of business, ETC., etc.
We usually answer these interroga-
tories by sending a copy of our
paper. We have not time always
to answer fully. But sometimes
this is not always satisfactory as
some of our business men are not al
ways represented in our columns, and
those seeking for locations invaria-
bly, conclude that business house
that does not advertise will not
prove formidable competitor for
trade. And, as a rule, this idea is
correct. Live, energetic merchants
invariably recognize the necessity
of keeping their business before

We give herewith a cut of the

is worth more, for pasture alone,
than it can now be bought for.
As a stock country western Kansas
has no superior. Cattle and horses
will live on the prairies without any
feed, except buffalo grass, for about
III months out Of every year.
This fact is enough to demonstrate
that this is surely the & stockman' S
paradise"
In portions of our county where
wheat has been sown for ten or
twelve years, farmers tell us that,
take it one year with another, they
can average more bushels to the
acre than in any country they ever
saw. Wheat raised here is Of more
than average quality, Kansas wheat
is generally recognized to be the
finest grown. To sum it all up
western Kansas is a fine stock and
wheat country.

their would be patrons, and people
love to trade with merchants who
care enough for their patronage to
ask them to come. Besides, this
class of merchants are always up to
the times in every particular. They
are not crossroads store keepers. "
Did you ever know of real success
full merchant that was not persist
ent advertiser? Not one. You
can't do business in that way in
this year Of our Lord 1891.
But we dlgress. We can give in
formation much easier through our
paper than otherwise and at the
same time be more definite. While
we shall always labor most earnestly
for the upbuilding Of our commu-
nifty, we will never. knowingly,
advise anybody to engage in any
particular branch of business. mere
ly to increase our population. This
sort of prosperity is not permanent,
is not desirable and is sure to be
disastrous in the end. We purpose
in these articles to give all the ma
tarial facts. From them an intelli-
gent man can make up his own
mind.
We wish to emphasize the state
ment that these are in no sense boom
articles. We are opposed to bOoms
in the ordinary use of the term and
trust we will never have one in Wa
Keeney. We have never had boom
and therefore we are in a much
healthier condition to-day than many
towns in western Kansas of mush-
room growth. There was time in
1886, 1887 and 1888 when Wa
Keeney had a greater population
than to-day, and when the county
was more populous also than now.
A number of spectators located in
these western towns and as soon as
the rUsh subsided, they moved on.
They were of no use, and while they
helped to swell the population for
time they were of no real benefit to
the community and, at the first ap-
proaeh of hard times, they showed
the white feather.
There was another class who
helped swell the numbers but was a
positive detriment to the county.
We refer to those who took" 100
acres OF land expecting to live on it
six months and then borrow all the
money possible from some loan COM
pany, pay out and skip out, never, ex-
pecting to come back, and of course
cursing the country. This class has
all been weeded out. Those who re-
main are pioneers, every one, and
have learned to adapt themselves to
the situations as they exist. Their
