we came via the Rock Island r.

Missouri Pacific r. r. two humid
red miles south of Kansas City,
in the north eastern part of
the state, and is in the midst of
the Oklahoma oil and gas fields.
The surrounding country is
pretty. resembling much,

is more timber here. The CHI

weather in South Dakota. The
population is promiscuous
mixture of people from the
various states. besides the native
Indians. who seem to have been
almost absorbed by the eau
casian race, and it is only now
and then that you can see one
who bears much resemblance to
the aboriginees. The negro,
however, maintains his natural
appearance. and are plentiful
most every where.
The chief industries here are
farming and oil production.
Natural gas supplies all demands
for fuel and lighting at q very
cheap rate. Social. religious, and
civil condition are we'll to the
front and it is by no means a
wild country.
The state has recently been
organized, comprising what was
formerly Oklahoma and Indian

adopted by the people by q vote

no saloons and no liquor traffic.
