The Butler Weekly Times. BUTLER, MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY JULY 18, 1ss3. FROM THE WEST. A Special Lett. r From the Times Cor- | Press for some time, intends to resign | respondent. OVERLAND TO COLORADO. From the Uimes Special Correspondent. Hutcuison, Kan., July 12, 83. With a match box for a writing desk and under a cottonwood tree beside the tar famed Arkansas river, this letter is penciled. There is nothing romantic about the spot, but | there is something of a monotony in | | endless sandy plain that surrounds | We are very near the outskirts | the excessive heat of the sun and the us. ot that portion of Kansas that is} tillable and yields remiunerative crops to the husbandman, With the exception of the country in Green- | wood county known as the Flint hills,’’the entire country trom this point to the eastern line of the state is almost as thickly settled as old | Bates county. The general improv- ments, of course, wil! not equal | those back there, but the chef part of the land 1s occupied and being im- proved as rapidly as circumstances | will admit. Until we came within twenty-five miles of the Arkansas valley there were not a dozen fields of wheat to be counted, but in this valley there is as fine wheat as was ever raised, and to all appearance, plenty of :t. Oats and corn com- prise the rest of the crops and is most excellent. New wheat is sell- ing at seventy cents per bushel and old corn at thirty cents. It seems a little strange to us who have hitherto gleaned our knowledge of Kansas trom what we heard and not from actual observation, to wit- ness such splendid corn and wheat and oats growing on these broad, | dry prairies From the information Missourians usually get of Kansas they are lead to infer that even this part ot which we write is naught but a land ot starvation. Let me say you are misinfermed, and add that the Jayhawker state, thus far from the eastern border, is a great and promising country. What impres- sions we may form of Kansas further west will be furnished in a subse- quent letter. Hutchison is a good town—judg- ing from our short acquaintance— and contains about twenty-five hun- dred souls. It is situated on the east | bank of ‘*Big River,’’ as people call the Arkansas out here, and is not particularly noted for the beauty of its streets or the stateliness of its buildings. There are some very large and well constructed mercan tile houses in Hutchison, many of | them equaling the average Butler es- | tablishment. We have now been on the road | two weeks and our journey is only about one third accomplished. The | members of our party including your | correspondent, are in usual health and imbued with an abundance of spirit. We are not rushing throuzh as most travelers do, but take things } easy that we my have all the satis- taction tere is in crossing the plains. | This is the end of our second let- \ ter. Our third will give the readers | of the Times our impressions of the | country from here to the mountains. | Mc. | i } | Martin Farquhar Tupper, the pro- fessional moralift and Solomomzer of platitudes, is thought of in Eng- land ana by some very worthey peo- ple despite Thackeray’s witty asser- tion to the contrary.
