DepOpulatiOn of Western Kansas.
over 100000 People Eight Years Ago.
Now Less Than $4,000

Tears AGO.
Now Less Than $4,000.
The depopulaton of the western conn
ties of Kansas is a striking feature of re-
cent western history. Returns made by
tax assessors this year indicate that 32
counties of the state have gained 10, 1877 in
habitants during the past II months, while
y counties have lost 49, 69-making a net
loss for the whole state of 2S,262 1t is
the western counties that have again chief
ly suffered. Taking the % counties far
thest west, it appears that the present pop-
ulatlon hardly exceeds 5000, against over
loO,oOO eight years ago, when the tide of
eastern investments in Kansas was high
est. The shrinkage in real estate values
that must have followed this remarkable
exodus from the arid section of the state
can better be guessed than estimated. The
lesson of this costly experience is that
western Kansas must obtain artificial irri-
CATION before it can proftably be occupied
by agriculture.

The Cunard steamer Campania, which
arrived at New York Friday, made the trip
from Queenstown in days 8 hours and 20
minutes. This lowers the record for this
route, which has been held by the Lucania,
of the same line, since last November, over
three hours, and the Campania now holds
the record for both the eastern and western
passage. The time between New York
and Queenstown has been steadily lowered
since 1866, when the Scotia made what was
then considered the fast voyage of days
2 hours and 4S minutes. In 1873 the Bal
tic lowered this to days 20 hours and 9
minutes. Two years later the time was
further reduced five hours, the next year
four hours were cut off, and in 1877 there
was another reduction of A minutes. In
1880 the Arizona made the trip in days
7 hours and % minutes. In 1882 the voy-
age was for the first time made in less than
seven days, and seven years later the Paris
for the first time made it in less than SIX
DAYS. Now the five days mark is being
rapidly approached.
