on RATS made from front and back
porches, and were in water above their

Pioneer Days When
Dickinson Was New

In some "reminiscences Of pioneer
days in Dickinson county G. B. Hoff'
man, in the Enterprise Push, givei
these interesting incidents;
1860 was the dry year OF Kansas.
Government records kept at Fort Riley
show that only IS inches OF rain fell
that year, less than half the average
Of today. The few acres Of sod plant
ing withered under the sun and the
pitiless scorch Of the ceaseIess winds.
There we're but few neighbors, and
they far apart. The two Hoffman
families, Stephen Rohrer, Rubins and
Nottorfs made up the settlement on
Turkey creek, south Of Grant town
ship. A few families en- Lyons and
Chapman creeks and two or three
where Abilene new is, constituted the
population Of the county. No roads,
to say nothing RI railroads and tele-
graphs, connected houses and settle
ments. The trackless prairie, like a
petrified ocean, rolled pillows from
horizon to horizon. This prairie has
moods. It laughs in the warm spring
tide when balmy winds kiss the young
Verdure Of grass and tree. 1T Is joy
ncarnate when the rlpening summer
lastens to o fruitful autumn.
But wait; the southwest wind, not
