WICHITA AND WHEAT.

Says the Globe-Democrat in speaking Of
the present status of Wichita:
The shrewd buyer from the east, who
goes about quietly hunting for ground
floor bargains when there is no local
money for real estate investments, is here.
One of this class Philadelphian. said as
he rode through the business streets of
Wichita last week: II have bought $25,-
900 worth of improved business property
since l came here week ago. will take
500, 900 more if can get as low prices.
Property can't go lower. It is only q
question of few years when it viii com
maud good deal more" These ground
floor investors have been more numerous
in Kansas City the past six weeks than
since the boom period.
Sixty million bushels is the latest esti-
mate of the Kansas bureau Of that states
crop. 1t can be said that the Kansas
bureau has an elaborate and well-trained
system of; gathering crop news. The esti-
mate Is probably not far out of the way.
The self binders are all ready moving
northward from the south line of Kansas
in mighty array. Wheat is beyond any
harm, unless it be sprouting in the shock,
a thing that has never yet happened TO
Kansas grain of any magnitude The
farmers are figuring the bushels and the
business communities are counting the
dollars. Sixty millions Of bushels of
wheat means $4,000, 900. Wichita has
only one regret about the wheat crop.
Her Board of Trade sent delegation after
delegation to St. Louis to present the in
ducements for million bushels elevator.
The investment is yet to he made. Senator
Kelley, the best crop statistician of south
ern Kansas. says Sedgwick, the county of
which Wichita is the seat, will market
100000 bushels of wheat. In the next
county TO Sedgwick is being harvested
crop of 100000 bushels, more than
the whole state OF Texas
produced last year. With all
this wheat in sight Wichita hasn't over
1000 bushels of elevator capacity Her
Board of Trade has Just established grain
inspection and will struggle with the ex-
igenciesias well as possible. But the wheat
will have to roll away as rapidly as it is
brought in. 1t will bring money, how
over, and, by reason of the farmers pleth-
eric pocket-books, Wichita will reap more
indirectly than directly from the wheat.
The manager OF a Kansas railway sys-
TEN says that his road is arranging and
expects TO haul 500 car loads Of wheat II
day as soon as the rush sets in. This means
prosperity for everybody and little short Of
salvation for the overbuilding and exces-
slve spreading of the boom period
That political sage, the late Wash Nc
Lean, had q way OF saying: If yon empty
a peek of gold dollars down In Kansas ST
noon, every one of those dollars will be
rolling toward New York City before sun
down" This may be q slightly extrava-
giant expression OF truth. But the friction
which the SO, 000, goo for the Kansas wheat
crop makes rs it rolls will give the best
times the boom cities have known since
1851.

SOUTHERN KANSAS FAIR,

The work of the different departments
OF the Fair association is rapidly progress
ing. During the last week the committee
on premium list has been in almost con-
tinuous session, and have done a great
deal towards the completion Of the book.
1t is expected to have it ready for distribu
ton about the middle of July. Entries to
the speed department have already COM
menced to come in, and from the many in
quiries for entry blanks it is reason
able to expect that the entry
list will be the largest ever seen
in the south west. 1t may not be general
ly understood by our people that this fair
is now without the gambling fraternity,
yet such is the fact. The secretary has re-
ceived large offers for the exclusive gamb-
ling privilege from various sources. Some
coming from as far east as Terre Haute,
Ind. To all such inquiries he has replied
that the rules Of the Association are such
as prohibit their operation on the grounds
and no bids will be entertained. This rule
will be rigidly enforced as it was last year.
and any offender will be punished to the
full extent of the law. The special pre-
miums'' are receiving especial attention,
and when the list is completed, it will be
acknowledged to be the finest ever pre-
sented.
The secretary has prepared an advance
bulletin of considerable merit, for the use
of our merchants and others who will aid
in presenting the fair to their patrons and
friends, and will be glad to furnish as
many as may be desired upon
application. The superintendent Of
the various classes have been
selected, and notified Of their appointment.
The selections this year has been made be-
cause of the peculiar fitness of the ap-
pointees for the positions, and they will
take charge of their various departments
early and know that everything is In read
mess so that az 9 o'clock Monday, Sept.
2Sth. everything will be in its place, aud
the greatest exposition ever held in the
southwest started on its course. 1t Is with
great pride the officers of the Southern
Kansas Fair association speak Of the treat
ment and assistance they are receiving
this year.
With hardly an exception they have
met with encouragement and as was re-
marked few days since, 1T Is our fair
and we must help it," seems to be the
spirit of all our people. With the abund-
ant crops this year it will be an easy task
to show what Kansas can do in raising
crops and presenting them at the annual
fair.
