Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat
A Bushel for Every Inhabitant
of the United States. The
Kansas Crop of 90.

Never in the history of Kansas
has that state had such bountiful
crops as this year. The farmers
cannot get enough hands to harvest
the great crop, and the Santa Fe
railroad has made special rates
from Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, river towns, to induce har-
vest hands to go into the state.
The wheat crop of the state will be
from sixty to sixty-five million
bushels, and the quality is high.
The grass crop is made, and is a
very large one; the early potatoes,
rye, barley, and oat crops are made
and are all large. The weather has
been propitious for corn, and it is
the cleanest, best looking corn to be
found in the country to-day.
Cheap rates will be made from Chi.
cago, st. Louis, and all points on
the Santa Fe east of the Missouri
river, to all Kansas points, on Aug.
ust 30 and September 27 and these
excursions will give a chance for
eastern farmers to see what the
great sunhower state can do.
A good map of Kansas will be
mailed free upon application to
Jno. j. Byrne, 723 Monadnock
Block, Chicago, H., together with
reliable statistics and information
about Kansas lands.

mittee of Indian affairs and squan-
der our funds in hiring lawers to
attend to our business because of
their influence as lobbyists and
members of the third house of con-
gress. Millions of our public funds
have been spent in this way that
could have been saved to us by
asking congress to admit our del
egate as provided for in the 7th
article of the treaty of NewEchota,
made in 1885. But again our fore
fathers were wiser than we because
they provided for every exigency
that might arise. They looked
forward to the time when we
should become an agricultural peo-
pie, when our fertile valleys and
broad savannas should wave in
luxuriant harvests of golden grain,
and they made provisions for the
survey and equitable allotment of
the same among the Cherokees.
Now let us read the Goth article of
the treaty of 1866, and see if we
are correct:i "Whenever the Cher
okee national council shall request
it,the secretary of the interior shall
cause the country reserved for the
Cherokees TO be surveyed and al
lotted among them at the expense
of the United States. Our fore
fathers, looking down the stream
of time through the dim vista of
years foresaw the time when sur.
vey and allotment Of our country
would become an actual necessity,
and they provided for it at the ex-
pense of the United States, when
ever we should ask it through
council. But | am told that it is
treason to ask council to do what
our forefathers provided should
be done when the time arrived.
If this is treason then make most
of il and set me down as an arch
traitor. Do you tell me that a sur
vey OF our country is not needed;
lift up your eyes and look to the
north, to the east, south or west,
and you will see that every person
has made his improvements cross
ways with the world. We have
no township or section lines to reg
ulate our improvements. There
is no regularity, no order, no
beauty about them, but confused
mass of improvements built at
random. We can have no system
of public roads till this is done.
We can have no permanent i'm
provements of any kind till we
make arrangements for public or
der. We should have had our
country surveyed 20 years ago.
We are behind the times, and be-
hind many of our neighbors in
this particular The Chickasaws
had their country surveyed 20
years ago, and they have had no
cause to regret it but every reason
to congratulate themselves for
taking time by the iorelock. Then
let us have a survey of our country
at once and follow in the footsteps
marked out for us by our patriotic
sires.
Yours for the right,
NED BUNTLIN.

Public Comfort.

Probably nothing in the mana
agement of the worlds fair will be
more heartily endorsed by both
citizen and stranger than the de-
partment of public comfort. Only
recently organized, it is hard at
work. It's chief is already making
list of real estate owners, house
holders and landlords in the city
and suburbs who expect to furnish
lodgings to visitors. Such public
and private providers are invited
to furnish full report of the ac-
commodations which they are able
to offer, giving prices. These re-
ports are to be listed and will be a
safeguard and convenience to all
parties concerned. This is, of
course, only one of the plans of
this bureau, which in acting under
the authority and control of the
ways and means committee Of the

PRoDIaALs RETURNING.

prodigal sons on its hands at pres

admission to their fathers house,

this juncture there seems to be
the combined opposition Of all the
elder brothers IN the party, and
the chances are that they will not
be re-admitted in time to run for
Office next summer. This is the
second ofiense in half a dozen
years for some Of the wanderers,
