GOV. MORRlLL on DROUTH.
Compares Present Dry Spell With
That Of 1860.

Hiawatha, kan. July 26.-'Many
comparisons have been made between
the present drouth and that of 1860"
said Ex-Governor f. N Morrill, at his
home here recently. but there is
striking difference, not only in the
character Of the two seasons, but also
in the different conditions existing
among the people of the state
The dry season of 1860 was much
longer continued and much more Sc
we're than the present one. The late
fall Of 1859 was very dry. The winter
of 1853 and 1860 was a cold ana dry
one, with very little snow or rain The
spring OF 1860 opened with hardly any
rain except for a few miles along the
Missouri river, where occasional snow
ers, scarcely known twenty miles
away, ena bled the settlers to raise par
tfal crops Very little rain fell during
the spring and summer. The farms
were new and the farmers were unable
to give their farms the cultivation that
they now receive.
There were but a few fields of wheat
and very little was harvested In
Brown county the wheat crop did not
average two bushels to the acre. The
streams dried up and there was no
moisture In the ground. The farmers
worked away, hoping and praying. that
rain would come in time to save their
corn. but they We're doomed to bitter
disappointment July and August We're
absolutely without rain. and not until
the cool weather of fall did the long
desired showers come-too late for the
crops of that year. Words are mad
equate to describe the bitter disap-
pointment of those noble men and wo-
men who had struggled through the
weary years TO make homes for them
selves and dear ones, when they found
winter approaching and nothing in
store for the long and bitter months
They had toiIed increasingly and all
their labor had come to naught. The
winter of 1860 and 1881 will never be
forgotten by those who spent it in
Kansas.
The people were without exception
Door They had their farms which coulo
upon which they could not borrow a dol
lar They had very little stock; many o.
them barely enough with which to work
their farms. They had no money. They
had nothing to sell except their labor, and
that had no value. for there was no de-
their board, but there was no one to even
give them that, very few families were
able to get flour for their tables; still
fewer had any meat, except when they
were fortunate enough to kill a. squirrel

Mr. Carlson. the author OF the report.
Is a citizen OF San Diego, Cal, where he
IS known to every body as Billy Carl
son He has a valuable piece Of water
front on the bay and a hobby The
water 'front.' IS regarded as valuable,
the hobby so far has not been produc-
tive It is based on a desire to see q
trunk line railroad from the city of
hay and climate" to the east.
Carlson has talked this railroad for
years and at times IT has seemed as
though he would make it go. He was
elected mayor Of the city and member
Of the legislature on that issue. San
Diego people have always believed in
Carlson and when he came w, with a
new scheme they rallied to his standard
loyalty. Since his return from Cuba
he has again mounted his hobby.
