South From Topeka. January 19, 1910. I thought I would write a letter in installments just as I see thingsalong the way; Kansas is rougher than I had ex pected and there are so many boggy tracts given over to bruslrand trees. I have seen a number of cobblestone fences: one road was lined for a long piece with a stone wall. It is 7:20 Friday morning and just light enough to see the country dim ly. It looks completely ironed out, with the houses making breaks in the horizon here and there. I see houses, but barns are conspicuous by their ab sence. The snoah.as disappeared in the night. We just passed through a cut at Junior, Okla., with banks as high as the car windows. I did not suppose there could beany such in the country. - We are just leaving Texhoma. It is quite a good sized town and just bristling with windmills set on low towers so that the wheels are but a little above the houses. Nearly all buildings are one story. The tumble weeds are in big bunches along the fences, though there are few fences to catch them except along the railroad. We have been in New Mexico some time now. The Pecos Valley is south east and the San Jaun far northwest, so I am just between the two. They would have to change very much from that through which we are passing to be inviting; rocky, sandy, barren, broken by sharp draws and so red looking. The last part of Texas was more thickly settled in the country and had many two story houses and good barns among the farmers. All buildings were painted. In north Mexico coun try houses are widely scattered, built of reddish material: it may be adobe, I do not know. All are flat-roofed and very small. A lady sitting near boarded the train at Tucumcari. 1 heard her say the town and community are comfortable now because they have not had more than ordinary crops for some time. But if they have extra crops any year there is much suffering for the next few 3'ears on account of those who have heard of the big crops and come in only to fail, perhaps for several years, i have been talking with the lady of whom I spoke. Her father and mother live near Boswell in the Pecos Valley. Her mother was with her, and this is the sum of what they told me of the Pecos. The climate is grand; living very expensive: no place for a ! poor or moderately well-off man to move into; artesian wells cost as high as $5,000 and last vear failed alarm ingly: much young fruit and alfalfa' dying. 4.22 p. in. We just left Corona where 1 saw the first dog I have seen today. 1 think everybody is too poor to feed them. The towns seem so de serted: houses there but no people to speak of; not even boys at the depot. One thing speaks well for healthful ness, I have seen but one cemetery since daylight. The papers need not talk so much about the great number of Christmas trees used as long as we own New Mexico. Hill after hill and plain af ter plain is covered with cedars. What a pity water cannot be had here so that the many acres could bo cov ered with seeders instead. The rocks are so peculiarly ar ranged. There will be several miles of ground showing no rocks at all, then maybe about an acre or more that looks like a section of Jerusalem after the captivity. Sometimes these rocky spots are on high points, some times on hillsides, and sometimes cov ering several hills and valleys. It is so surprising when you think you are looking at a pile of rock or sand to suddenly discover a stove-pipe stick ing out. Often 1 can see no way of entrance unless the inhabitants are descendents of Santa Claus. Here we are just a 150 miles from El Paso, but snow guards still line the track at all exposed points on the northwest. We are almost at the summit of our trip and see moun tainous peaks all around. Tucson, Saturday, 10 a. m. T have not written any this morning as every thing seemod about as yesterday. Tucson is quite a large city (22,000) and seems well supplied with wind mills. One thing I meant to merit ion yes terday about Arizona heat. It is hot for a long summer, but the heat does not penetrate good roofs and if you stay under cover it will not trouble you except for about two months, July and August. Tempe, Monday. I arrived about 3. Saturday p. m. I saw some irrigat ing on the way and some beautiful green fields. The air is very pleasant j during sunny hours, except early in the morning, due tnere is no neat on and it is quite shivery. I just came from breakfast and can scarcely write, I am so cold. At Tucson the thermometer was at ' 8(5 and at Maricopa, about 2 p. in.. 88. The station men were very hot. Most of us were. j They tell me that oranges and nuts, except almonds, do not grow alxwt Tempe. Apricots, peaches and plums are raised. Vegatables are shipped in from Los Angeles. Peaches sell for Gulf Coast Country of Texas,: If you are a Tedder of Tins Senti nel, you have heard of this wonder ful countrj-. . Tpu have marveled and doubted. You do not believe land will produce like we claim this does. You do not believe you can make the money there we say you can. You argue and confuse others parts of Texas with this. WTe do not. blame you for doubting. A Northern man has never seen anything to compare with it. Go with us on next excur sion, Tuesday, march 1, and we will show you. For full particulars and descrip tion, call or write, L. C. TILSON, 117 North Sixth Street, ST. JOSEPH, : MO. FOR SALE. THE WEAVER PLACE 1 mile north of Forbes, by level road, 81 acres timber, pasture, alfalfa, corn land, stone quarry, apple and peach orch ards, pears, etc., small fruit. Two houses with barns, etc. Two never failing wells of the best of water. Admirable place for any purpose, grass, fruit or farming and gardening, poultry, etc. Produce gathered in the evening is on next morning's Omaha market. Valued at $70 per acre. May go for $5,000, if sold soon. See Alex. VanBuskirk, or apply to owner on the place. Good Farm for Sale. The J. A. Moser farm of 505 acres, 5 miles south of Mound City and li miles northeast of Napier. There is about 200 acres of good timber land, 1G0 of good cultivated land and remainder in bottom grass laud. It has a fine barn, a good 7-room house and good outbuildings. It has several wells and two living springs. The heirs of this estate desire to sell it by March 1, 1910: therefore I will receive sealed bids for sale of it until March 1. We. the heirs, reserve the right to reject any and all bids. Information gladly given. R. E. MOSER, Agent, Mound City, Mo. about four cents a pound; plums, from two to four cents. The fruits I named will grow, but few seem to plant. .Land three or four miles from town is held at from $150 to $200 per acre with water right which makes their supply much more certain. Wheat sells at 52.10 a 100" pounds and vegatables and fruits by the pound. Bushels are unknown. I think this country would be fine most of the year, but I am doubtful about the summer heat and the dust, there is not often wind to disturb the dust, however. The climate is de lightful and much of that delightful ness is due to the dryness, so I sup pose the dust is a necessary evil. I do not think one would be bothered by it in the country as in town. The country is so sparsely settled that there is not much travel on country roads. This town is quite city-like. Most of the houses are brick or concrete, very pretty architecture and concrete sidewalks. The stores are very sub stantially biult of brick or concrete, and quite like those of the cities in their appointments. Anita V. Weaveu. At Hymen's Altar. - Our local exchanges announce an unusally large number of weddings the past fortnight. Donnell E. Smith and Miss Mabel Eva Lewis, of Craig, were married February 15th by Rev. Geo.

William Allumbaugh and Miss Lil lie. daughter of A.M. Burton, both of Oregon, bv Esq. McDonald, Sun day. February 20th. 1910. John J. Stafford'and Miss Stella It. I Campbell, both of Oregon, in St. Jo-j seph, Monday, February 21, 1910. j Corning Newslets. From The Mirror: The Anti-Ditch fellows had meeting with their attorney, H. William?, in Craig yesterday!. Those who went uown from here .were Henry Peters, Henry Dege, Gusfcav. Voltmer. Jas. S. Mavitv and one or two others. They will make an effort to defeat the incorporation of 'the district if they are not allowed to pull out. The case will come up be fore Judge Burns at Savannah next week probably when quite a number of them will appear with Mr. TVil liams to tile objections. A. O. Dankers has bought 6000 bushels of corn from Os Williams and D. A. Bertram and is shelling it at the Milton switch preparatory to shipping. The shipment will be about six car loads. H. L. Thieman has purchased three thousand bushels of wheat from the Roselius', John Luken, J- G. Schatz and the Peters,' and wilt be delivered beginning Saturday. It will make about three car loads. Wm. Dege and family have moved to their property purchased in Craig. We are sorry to lose them, but wish them success in their new Lome. A Few Accidents. Mrs. Laura Schultz, residing on farm near Craig, slipped on the walk going to the cellar the early part of the week, and sustained a broken shoulder. The injury is very painful but it will be just a matter of time for the bone to knit and Mrs. Schultx will again be around. Craig Leader. Mrs. Betty Wright sustained a very serious accident at the home of her son, Tony Wright, who lives on a farm near Craig. Last Saturday night February 12th, about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Wright got out of bed to get a drink of water and in same manner fell and fractured her hip. As she is a lady of some 90 years of age it is feared that she will be unable to stand the shock Craig Leader. One day last week, little Jim, son of Mr. and Mrs. O. R. King, in at tempting to cross Davis Creek on & foot bridge, fell in the swift water beyond his depth. Fortunately he clutched and clung to the bridge, yell ing lustily for help. His cries were not heard and by almostsuper-human effort he heroically rescued himself and thoroughly drenched and dread fully frightened he made his way home. It was a. very, very narrow escape. Mound City News, February 18th. , A Colored Man Appointed. Richard Gillet was named as- road overseer "by our county court at its February" meeting, for the Corning district, and is the first colored citizen to have ever been named for such position. He is a splendid citizen and greatly esteemed by the citizens of Coming. Ben. Hayes, of Oregon, was the first colored man to serve as a petit juror, having been drawn for the April, 1898, terra of our circuit court. Sam. P. Clark was the first and only colored lawyer ever admitted to the Holt county bar; this was in January, 1872. Letter List.

Lukens filled his regular appointment at Highland church last Sunda-, which closed series of meetings lasting one week. The weather being so changeable pre vented many from attending, but there was an increasing interest, es pecially by the young people, who were very attentive and joined heart ily in the song service, and we hope soon to see them enjoying the full- benefits of the Gospel. Congrega tions are incieasing. Sunday school every Sunday. Fifty years ago on Tuesday q'f this week, Feb. 22, 1800, Mound City celebrated Washington's birthday grand style.
