MANY HORSES PURCHASED
" ichita Considered as a Coming
Horse Market

Within the past few days several car
loads Of horses have been shipped out of
Wichita for eastern markets. To the per
sons who have not Investigated the mat
Ter Wichita is quite horse market.
There are a number of buyers here who
devote all Of their time 10 making up car
loads of horses and mules for the east
The horses secured are good ones and the
prices are better than one would imagine.
1t is astonishing, too, to notice the i'm
provement in the grade Of horses pro-
duced now. A few years ago the horses
of this country for farm work were small
but OF late it is the opposite and large
horses have been produced and they al
ways meet with a ready sale.
There is every evidence that the Wich-
ita market, while a good one now, viii be
a better one in the future, as the eastern
people fully realize what can be secured
here in the way Of good stock.

MUCH BUSINESS DONE
Postofice Receipts Show Is
Per Cent Gain.
FOR MONTH OF FEBRUARY
Over Any Other Previous
Month Last Year.

Yesterday the accounts in the post Of
fee department at Wichita were closed
up for the month Of February and it was
ascertained that the receipts for the
month Of February were % per cent Iarg-
er thai the receipts Of the same month
last year. This is very remarkable and
IS a splendid showing It was also an
nounced that the receipts for the month
Of February just passed were larger than
any month Of last year. This is in itself
an indication Of the amount Of business
done last month. Not only was the
amount of business done last month larg-
er than any month Of last year. but it
was even larger than the amount Of bus
mess done in January of the present
year. Since February is the shortest
month in the year. the amount of bust
ness done is evidence that this viii be
the banner year of the Wichita postof-
fee as far as business is concerned.
Not only has the receipts Of the other
departments Of the postofice shown a
remarkable increase for the past month,
but the money order department business
has increased at about the same rate Of
per cent The amount of money handled
has been very large and from the manner
in which the business has started off this
month, # viii be very large for the pres
ent month.
Judge Jewett stated to a reporter for
the Eagle last night: I'VE are simply
astonished at the amount of business
done last month. February is unusually
one Of our dali months, but this year the
receipts have beeen very large Twenty
five per cent gam for February is some
thing remarkable and is an indication
shat the winter and the supposed dull
ness in all circles which is usually evident
has not been at all noticeable in Wichi-
Ia. Not only have the receipts been
larger in February than that Of January
but the past month has bested the record
of the best month Of last year. People
may talk about January and February
being the dun months Of the year. but II
that is the case. Wichita viii see one Of
the greatest years in her history as far
as the postofice is concerned. The re-
ceipts Of the money order department
are very large for February and the in
crease Of . Der cent IN that department
is something remarkable. Wichita is
certainly coming in all lines and one Of
the quickest ways in which this is noticed
is through the channels of the postoffice
From the manner in which this days
business has shown up thus far. March !
viii be one Of the best months that we /
have ever had and if the increase con-
tnues it viii be a larger per cent than
twenty-five over that of the some month /

City's Ordinance Went in Effect Yes

The police department was promptly re-

the chicken ordinance was to be enforced
after the first OF March. This means that
from this time on the police department

allowed TO run in other peoples yards
and gardens, and some enc is likely TO
appear in the police court. This means,
too. that there will be a number of cases
in the police court in which neighbors
viii have their troubles aired all on ac-
count of the festive chicken who had a
desire to get into another yard.
The chicken ordinance was passed some
time ago and it was after the demands
of porperty owners and residents who
were constantly having their gardens ana
lawns destroyed by neighboTs' chickens
The ordinance states that the chickens

NE WWHOLE SALEF FIRM
Arkansas Valley Lumber Co.
Opens Up Monday.
GENERAL NERVOUSNESS
Wichita Men Back of New
Institution.

On next Monday morning IN the Biting
Block another wholesale lumber firm win
open up for business in Wichita's terri
tory. This firm is known as the Arkan-
sas Valley Lumber company and its busi-
ness is purely wholesale The Offices are
on the third floor Of the Biting block
and the manager Of the new concern Is
Mr.. Orlo H. Johnson, well known in this
city. Mr. Johnson has been in the su-
perintendent's Office of the Missouri Pa
cihc for some time and is well qualified
for his new responsibilities.
The firm is composed Of Wichita men,
The capital behind the institution s
enough to enable it to do large whole
sale business. Mr.. H. W. Darling, who
is the manager of the louisiana Red
Cypress Lumber office is one Of the stock
holders in the concern, but it does not in
the least effect his business as manager
Of the other institution. The ne firm
viii send travelling men out of the ter
ritory adjacent to Wichita and within a
short time viii be running in fun blast.
For the past few years wholesale Ium-
Der firms have been centering in this city
and at the present time there are a num-
Der Of new wholesale firms in Wichita.
The Wichita market is known to be
good one and many dealers over south
ern Kansas and Oklahoma secure their
stock here.
The branching out of the new concern
is an indication that the wholesale inter
ests Of Wichita are advancing at rapid
pace. The firm will do general lumber
business and owing ttohe capital behind
it, 1t is bound 10 be one OF the solid fnan-
cial institutions of the city.
The new company has been planned for
some time, but it was not definitely de-
termined that it would open at this time
until few weeks ago.
While the new firm will open up Mon
day it will get into the business in time
to get a share of the splendid trade which
is sure to occur this season. The con-
strucvtion Of new residences and build
ings in southern Kansas and Oklahoma
towns Is sure to have its effect on the
Wichita wholesale lumber firms and the
lew establishment will come in for it's
share Of the trade.
The very fact that wholesale houses
and firms are centering IN this city IS evil
dent TO the Wichita people that Wichita
is a coming wholesale center.
