Kansas Trail Marking.

Dickinson county ought to follow
the example Of Lyons and other coun-
ties and erect one handsome marker
on the old Santa Fe trail. 1t is little
enough that remains Of early history's
reminders.
The pride Of new settlers in the
traditions of the early days is mani
fest more prominently than that Of
many of the older ones. They have
come west with all their imaginings
concerning the wild and wOolly days Of
frontier times excited and halo Of
glory is around and over all. They
see in the simplest Of reminders OF
the past romance that is lost on the
old timer. He has perhaps known
the "Wild Bills" and the other frontier
heroes and he makes it his business
to disabuse the worshipers Of the
ideal created. The Santa Fe trail
appeals to the emotions both Of the
new corners and OF the old and all are
willing to give much to preserve its
story.
Along with the trail it is believed
that the same course so far as 1t ap-
plies to the southwest is the one used
by Coronado on his march to the
"Quivera," located somewhere in
central Kansas. Three monuments
have been erected to distinguish this
trail. They are at Harrington, Alma
and Manhattan. They have the facts
inscribed on expensive marble mem
orials and the cost was borne by a
millionaire of Minneapolis, an enthu-
siastic archeologist. He made
study of the Quivera myth and de-
cided that he had found the exact To-
cation Of the city or at least of the
northern end Of the march.
Kansas is crossed by many trails
Of the frontier times. The Oregon
trail, the Pixies Peak trail, the cattle
trail, known as the "Chisholm trail,"
are all part Of the states history.
The first barely touched the northeast
border and it may have been over in
Nebraska that 1t crossed the Missouri.
But the Santa Fe trail is king Of them
all and dearest to the southwest.

Good 70 Live IN Kansas.

Emporia Gazette: The average
ablo-bodied man in Kansas makes
about six hundred dollars year. He
gets more out Of that six hundred
dollars than dwellers in the great
cities get out Of thousand dollars.
A dollar will buy more comforts and
luxuries in Kansas than 1t will buy
In any other spot on the globe. The
man who makes six hundred dollars
a year in Kansas lives In warm six
room house, with a bluegrass lawn In
front Of it and vegetable and fruit
garden between the barn and the
house. In the barn he keeps a COW
and some chickens and II be lives In
the country he has pig ortwo. His
children 60 warmly clad to the best
schools 10 the world and are prepared
for the best colleges in the country.
His wife and daughters are decently
and prettily gowned, and II they
choose to, may move in the best cir
cles in any Kansas town. The value
Of days work in Kansas measured
In comforts and luxuries and those
things material that are supposed to
bring happiness, is greater than any
,ther spot in the world. And really
hat is what counts. The rate Of
wages measured by money may be
.reater in other states, but measured
n the things which make life worth
living, Kansas leads them all.
