buffalo and gramma grasses form
the bulk of the native vegetation
on all of the uPlands- They are
too short to be cut for hay, but
cure for the winter use and are
the best grasses known for graz

both summer and winter. Along
the bottoms, blue stem grass
abounds, which yields an abund-

OF improvements, Us head of fine cattle,
80 head of hogs, Is head of horses and

splendid opportunities tor the poor man,

their own and plenty to live on and do
not have to work hard.
Yours very truly,

I came to Sherman county, Kansas,
from Hamilton county, Nebraska, in
May, 1886. Had a horse and saddle, q
few clothes and less than SO. In 1889
preempted the southeast of 25-S-41,
held It as long as I could. then put
homestead papers on it, held it seven
years and proved up, and now have a
deed to $40 acres of land. 1 have
farming implements to run the same,
and a half interest IN a herd of well
bred shOrt-horn cattle. I have eight
head of horses and colts. 1 also have
large reservoir stocked with fish. This
reservoir furnishes water to irrigate q
good garden. 1 am also raising maca-
nroi wheat with good success, and in
conclusion would say to the eastern
renter, come to Sherman county.

division station.

In addition to these improve
ments there has been $IOo, 600. 90
in buildings and other
improvements In the city of
Goodland during the last year,
and with all the new buildings
completed. there is not a vacant
building to be had in the city to-
day.
Our business men are enter
Prising and prosperous. We
have good schools and churches,
and in fact everything that goes
to make up a good town and a
desirable place to live. New
corners are welcomed by our
people and invited to locate here
with the assurance that they will
receive the most generous treat
ment.
RAILROAD FACILITIES.
The main line of the Rock
Island crosses the county from
east to west, nearly through the
center. The company runs eight
daily passenger trains, and from
seven to ten freight trains daily.
It's connections are with Denver,
Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Oma-
ha, Kanaas City, Topeka, Wich-
tia, Leavenworth, Atchison and
all points east or west. One
can readily see the advantages of
a trunk line. Once in about ten
miles across the country there is
station with all the necessary
Improvements and equipments
for shipping and receiving freight
as well as passenger accommoda-
ton. The stations from east to
west accommodating the people
of Sherman county are Brewster,
Edison, GOOdland, RuletoR and
Kanorado. All these are thriv-
ing little towns surrounded by
the finest laying farming country
to be found in the United States.
At all these stations on the line
of the Rock Island road there
are stores carrying a general
stock of merchandise, also good
schools and churches and per-
sons living near them have every
facility for shipping their pro-
duCe.
PRICES OF LAND.
Smooth fertile lands, well
located in this county, are selling
at prices that are easily within

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.


GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
Sherman county IS bounded on
the north by Cheyenne county,
Kansas, on the east by Thomas
county, on the south by Wallace
county, and on the west by the
state of Colorado.
By a glance at the map of the
state of Kansas, it will be seen
that within its borders are the
sources of the north and south
forks Of the Beaver. the north and
south forks of the SaPPa. Prairie
Dog and the north fork of the
Smoky Hill river. All but the
latter are tributaries to the Re
publican river system which en-
braces most of the fertile land IN
Colorado, Ne braska and Kansas.
The Smoky Hill river IS a tTibu-
tary to the Kansas river, which
also embraces a rich agricultural
