There are still several good rooms, both frame and brick, that can be rented very reasonably. Owing to the short crops, which were general throughout the United States last year, there has not been as great profits in mercantile business as formerly, nnd the number of new firms has not increased us rapidly as herrtofore. Hut the magnificent crops of fids year will make business lively next fall and winter, nnd the men who start now and gradually work up a trade will be ready then for a good business. The west side offers unusually good inducements to merchants beennse of the great farming district that is directly tributary to it.

Nearly two-thirds of the county lies on the west sid of the river, and ail these farmers have to come thin way to get down town. They are doing more of their trading on this side of the river than they used to and their patronage of the west side merchants is going to steadily increase, becausu the west side merchants are making it profitable for them to trade here. We still lack stores in certain lines. No more grocers are needed, but two good dry goods stores would do well here, if they thoroughly advertised their goods, and a good notion and millinery store could get a large trade. The latter should include furnishing goods, etc.

A good jewelry store ought to pay. The men who come now and open up these stores will make no mistake, if they are the right kind of men. There's no great money in it just now but there is an opportunity to work up a very lucrative business. No one need come unless he is prepared to make a handsome store, for lazy men and sloveuly merchants wouldnt stand a ghost of a show here in competition with all the big stores down town. But the right men will get west side trade as well as the trade of the farmers west of here.

The llugoton and Woodsdale papers have taken to studying law. The ouly trouble is they didnt commence soon enough. The number of strange faces one meets at the churches and public gatherings indicates numerous additions to our city; and the best of it is the remarkably intelligent expression which may be seen in their countenances is evidence of the excellent class of people who come here to stay and make homes with us.

Jno. E. Coulter, 505 Sedgwick Block. Harper county has demonstrated her adaptability to the growth of cotton, and this season the plant is being raised on a scale far beyond experiment. In the northeastern part of the county many acres are being cultivated, one man alone having thirteen acres under eultiva-t ion Freeport Leader.

John S. Tufts, although residing here but a few months, already has 120 acres fenced on his farm, 45 acres in crops, a good house built, cellar and well dug and is, in fact, fixed to live." He last week moved with bis family to tbc farm, and is numbered among the many good settlers who are here to stay. Scott Herald. The oat crop in Kansas and especially in southern Kansas, is something phenomenal and mastodonic this year. It will be in stack in about two weeks.

Such a crop was never known to the oldest settlers. There are fields near this city 80 and 120 acres of uniform wonderful head and height. Winfield Courier. The farmers of Kingman county have now in cultivation 00,000 acres of corn and 25,000 acres of oats, besides large areas of cotton, castor beans, liroomcorn, millet, potatoes and minor crops. In their selections they have planted about everything known to thrive in this latitude, and the present prospect is for an abundant crop.

Democrat. I. L. Deisera is cutting his alfalfa northeast of town, and to say that it is a prodigious crop is but mildly expressing it. The plant is from thirty-two to thirty-five inches in height and stands on the ground about as thick ns the bristles in a shoe brush.

He will cut these meadows four times this season and each ncre will yield from seven to ten tons of the most palatable and nutritious hay in the world, Every farmer should have a field of alfalfa. Garden City Herald. West Side W. O. T.

COULTER, LOAN BROKER, RENTAL AGENT, NOTARY PUBLIC. Room 505 Sedgwick Block. There was a time when Kansas offered the greatest inducements in the world to the immigrant with a team, plenty of grit and enough money to homestead a quarter section of land, but in that case a man and his family had to endure the hardships and many privations of frontier life. Those days have passed by. They are gone, but to-day, to the man who is able to come with a few thousand dollars, Kansas oilers greater opportunities than she ever offered to the pioneer homesteader.
