ONE MORE ROAD Connects Mullinville With the Outside World. A Direct Line to Chicago And all Points Northeast. This week is one of railroad events for The Rock island win do Mere to-ni'jriu or to morrow forenoon. It has a large depot finished on the south side of the city, and the road is putting up its telegraph line in connection with its track laying, so that by this road we will le connected with the out side world by rail and telegraph at the same time. The Hock Island conies to us from the northeast, affording a direct line to Chicago.

From it extends south west, through the Pan Handle of lexas, to the coal hcldsot southern Colorado. This road will be of un told value to the farmers of tins section. By it the extensive cattle ranges of the Pan Handle will be reached for the shipment of surplus feed, etc. in the north and east will be created for us by this road, and through travel will be had to Chicago, and other northeastern points. Not another town in all Western Kansas can boast of better or greater railroad facilities than ours.

Not another town has half the glorious prospects -for a commercial center than ours has. Our city is young, yet it is truly an embryo (riant. It is said that time works wonders, and a few brief years more will witness here, where now stands a city of the third-class, a thrifty, energetic and prosperous city of the first-class, unequalled in modern at tainments. Its growth has but begun. SeVeral large business houses have been completed recently and several others are on the tapis.

Our building boom has been based upon the stability of our agricultural wealth and the certain propinquity of railroads. With an energetic population, par-excellent agricultural resources, and the presence of three or four great railroads, there can not be a palpable reason why our city should not develope and be come a potent factor the progress of the great commonwealth ot Kansas. It is hothecessary to prophecy relative to the future grandeur of the Gem City. Prophecy is naught but history reversed, and what gigantic strides our city has made prior to the advent of railroads is but a faint criterion of what it will accomplish with these wondrous developers and Arteries of commerce'. Real estate here is in demand, and money invested therein is a safe and profitable investment.

Right now is the time to make such investments, for it will not only be bringing you good Interest, but you will be interested in the best, brightest, and most prom isins citv in the west.

'ONE LITTLE PAIR" That's What Mullin ville Caught in the Railroad Draw, This Week. The Great Santa Fe railway is here. After years of waiting the western part of Kiowa county the best and most productive agricult ural portion ot western Kansas-is connected with the outside world by iron bands. Last the spike was driven which places Mullinville on the railroad map of Kansas. We rejoice at this event, and we have just reasons for our re joicings.

Here tins garden spot of the Universe our settlers have struggled for years with the great disadvantages of not having railroad facilities for the transportation of surplus crops to markets. The necessities of life were freighted over a hard road twenty eight miles in length. The cost of transportation of rid us crops to railroad points shipment was so great that our farmers planted but very small acre ages. Not a little privation was endured by our settlers, yet they toiled and strggled, and kept on improv ing, their homes, with the hope that at a not far distant day their labors would be fully requited. This hope has its consummation, for from this time forth the farmer will till the soil with a double energy and fill his pockets, with shining sheekles, the direct result of railroad facilities.

Then again, we have a city here un excelled for its agricultural surroundings, which is destined to become a populous commercial center. Its railroads, location and resources are emphatic prophecies of its future greatness, bituated on three great railroads, which bring it into juxtaposition with all points east, west, north and south, its attractiveness is inevitable. The wondrous agricultural capabilities of its surrounding territory will bring flouring mills, canning, and crake factories. Other resources will bring carriage, implement and various other manufactories. The Santa Fe road will open up to us the nlarkets of Colorado and New mexico in which Kansas products are so highly valued, and in return will bring us cheap fuel.

It opens up a direct market at Galveston, Texas, and thus give us a seaport only a few hours distant, It brings us in direct connection with Kansas City, St. Louis, and other larger eastern centers, thus affording the inestimable benefits of direct contact with leading commercial points. When say that Mullinville possesses all the natural advantages for a large inland commercial center, we arc Stating facts, and not indulging in chimerical phantasies of the immaginatipn. That Mullinville will have eclectric lights, tele phone exchange, railways, flouring mills, and a population of five thousand, in the next five years, is as certain as twice two makes tour. Right now is the best time to come to Mullinville.

1 wo great railroads are here, and everything is on the boom. If you desire to invest in a live, wide-awake, progressive town, come to A better chance to invent in real or engage in any kind of business profitably in this city will nover again than So the home-seek er and the business man should come now Don't delay. Henceforth parties coming to this part of Kansas should remember that thoy can 'comb diiectly here from any eastern point, by way of Santa J. or Rock Island rail roads. Don't take a round-about but coma straight through over either of theso roads.
