Yesterday, q man by the name of
Geo. A. Hazelett, a resident of W ahoo,
Neb., spent the day in town selling a
book Of his life and experience. In.
asmuch as he has no limbs below the
knees 1t might be interesting to note
his ambition, which alone allows him
the preference of charitable institu-
ton,
Hazelette is man of possibly 90
years, with modest Gountenance and
unassuming air. He while endeayor.

Union Pacific r.. r. several years ago,
accidently slipped and fell under the
wheels, where he lost both legs, below
the knees, and it afterward was found
necessary to amputate them both at
the knee. He now makes his living
by an honorable and prudent career,
by selling small pamphlet, entitled
"Tep years of Hustllng." Such Of

The following letter was RECEIVED by
b. w. Carlisle today from F. s
Friend, who is making q trip through
Oklohoma:
RULNAM, OKLoHOMA.

Oklohoma:
RULNAM, OKLoHOMA.
Mr.. B. w. CARL1sLE.-You will see
by this letter that l am still above
ground, so will try to tell you some
thing OF nag trip and the country.
Left Omaha at p. M, for Lincoln,
Neb., and it began to rain on us (the
cars, mean) and continued to do so
all night. 1t icing night could not
see any of the country in Nebraska.
About all the people did on the train
was to talk politics, and try to make
Milwaukee more famous. At last
morpheus got possession of me and
the world with all it contains would
have sunk into oblivion had it not
been for the cons cry of tickets"
Awoke at Wichita, Kan, where l got
off and stayed all day. This is nice
city. 1t has had a boom sometime,
and then came the reaction which
makes rent very cheap, and lots Of
vacant buildings. bon't'like the land
here, lime stone is too near the surface
as the ground. The big corn crop
which ID reported in the papers for
Kansas, is in some other part of the
state than this. All of Kansas that l
saw will not make twenty bushel, but
the whole earth is sowed i'll fall wheat,
and it looks very nice. They drill it in
with disc drill. Wheat is worth &c.,
corn zoe. No cribs of old corn any.
where after Theft Iowa, The farms in
this part of Kansas are Dearly all
fenced with limestone rock, and /
would as soon have the fence as most
of the farms, and l would want the
fence in Iowa. An ex Judge at
Wichitg, ssiq TO rae it was the finest
state in the Union, and ! said j pittied
the rest of them. l tried to look as
innocent as Jerry Simpson, and asked
him If it was true that the people ate
the potatoes, top and all, down here.
And be violated one of the command
mept, saying that there had been more
DIN lies told on Kansas than all the
rest of the United State.
At Caldwell, the soil begins to get
red and 1t got reder all the way down
here. We next crossed Salt river.
Hhis riXer was almost dry. but there
viii be enough water in it for you and
the other boys in Harrison county II
paddle your conoe up it this fall after
election. : - =, :

without any more trouble. Lots Of
Indians here. The squsws sit down,
Turk fashion, right in the center of the

Took my first drink of Oklomoha

Good Roads and Legislation.

oCO0 AO0A0 0A0 oO6AoA0GAOA'
Perhaps one of the most important
measures to come before the State
Legislature next winter will be- the
question of making q law for building
good roads iii lows. This is 8 question
which is being sgitatea, not apply III
Iowa, but in many other states In the
union, and all admit that some meas
ure must be adopted to better the con-
dition of the public highways, aud as
the question is one above politics and
will certainly be before the legislature
for action, II is very important to ey-
cry Voter and z tax payer in Harrison
county to secure . man for represen.

unconSciously told the truth. Next
morning / went down and bid the loco.
motive a fond farewell and started
fifty miles inland in u wagon.
This is beautiful country, the land
perfectly red and is composed of low
hills all of which look nearly alike,
the ground gradually rises for about
mile and then slopes down the same
distance into canyon. These can.
yons are from ten to 100 feet deep and
the walls are almost perpendicular at
the top is the green grass, then comes
layer of red soil, next comes several
feet of white gysum rock then red
sand stone under this white sand
stone and at the bottom are pools of
water, clear as crystal. This comblna.
ton of colors makes beautiful sight
The canyons all have more or less tim.
Der in them, cotton wood, burr oak,
walnut, and red cedar.
Crops are very good, corn will make
from 30 to so bu. and is good quality,
nearly all white. Kaffir corn is not
so good on account of drouth, but is q
fair crop. Stock like it better than
Indian corn. They cut the heads off
and store 1t in cribs for winter use. 1t
will make about fifty bushel per acre
and is worth Is cts. Castor beans
make from to IL bnshel and are
worth 100 per bushel.
Cotton picking is in full blast, looks
white as snow. The darkeys can beat
anyone raising and picking it. They
have a great long sack open at both
ends, which they drag along behind
them and fill then empty into wagon
1t is hauled to the gin, where the
seeds are taken out, and 1t is then
bsiled. A bale brings from 30 to 35
dollars, according to quality. and is
picked from about three acres. Excuse
me from picking cotton. / tried to
help an old darkie pick some, and he
watching me said, "Msn 20 SOON lebe
20 wages" They raise everything in
the line of vegetables that we do and
then some.
I've seen Seattle on q thousand hills. >
Indeed, this is cattle heaven. Three
kinds of grass. \ tall grass which
grows in the canyons, good for winter,
misquite and buffalo grasses. These
never get more than two INCHES high
and the higher the hill the better 1t
grow, and blue joint the same as we
have in Iowa. In the canyons are
clear pools of water and q white SUBJ
stance, which answers for salt.
A calf is branded and they never see
anything more of it until they are
ready to sell it. Calves are worth Bis;
two year old heifers, $685.; steers $35
There are 1900 acres IN this pas
ture and the cattle man sold thous-
and two year old steers for $a2, 600 last
week. II had had this could have
gone to the Firemen's tournament
another day.
Well, I will quit cow, and If ! ever
get out Of here will write you another
letter describing the animals, politics
and religion of the country. I start
for Texas next Friday and will write
to you from there IT possible.
