Far According to promise I wmnte a few lines about my western trip, though I wnite it hastily. Leaving Kansas City on the fast express train on Monday morning, we sped westwardly at a rapid rate up the Kaw River valiey past Law- rence, Topeka, and on to Emporia through a good country well im- proved. From Emporia to Hutchison, 100 miles, where we strike the Arkansas river, our route was through a most beaunful and fertile country—the richest portion of Kansas. Here night overtook us and we went to bed in a sleeper and thought of the wonderful improvements in the man- ner of traveling within a few years, The old method of crossing the plains with ox teams is no more. Then it was a slow, tedious and dangerous trip, requiring months ot travel under a scorching sun, often without water, and harrassed by Indians—the traveler necessarily ex- perienced innumerable privations and dangers.

Bridging the Osage. Judges Myers, Correll and Mason and bridge commissioner Logan met at Butler Thursday last in conter- ence with the Bates county court, to take joint action for the construc. tion of a wagon bridge across the Osage river. Atter considerable discussion an agreement was reach- ed by which a three-span, iron bridge will be constructed at Belvoir. The order for the structure was made Friday by the Bates county court, and commissioner Logan was appointed to supermtend the work. The Vernon county court will meet next week to make an order on the part of this county after which the contract will he let and the work pushed to completion. The bridge will be of iron, with three spans, the middle one having 150 feet and the end spans 75 feet each, supported by three stone abut- ments.
