MONDAY...............SEPTEMBER 20, 1869. ===== THROUGH THE FAR WEST ——— V. ——— TOPEKA. ——— Its Beauty of location—Population —Improvements—Growth—Advantages and Prospects—Social Interests—Personal Matters. ——— Editorial Correspondence. TOPEKA, Kansas, Sept. 12, 1869. No person, passing over the Kansas Pacific Railway to see this country, should fail to stop at the State Capital. In fact, the citizens of this aspiring young city claim that Kansas is not seen and cannot be properly understood until Topeka is visited. Much as the people of the State estimate, their particular locality, there is no city or town, which I have visited, so highly appreciated by its citizens as Topeka. The Chicago spirit of "manifest destiny" pervades the whole community, especially the real estate agents and speculative owners of town lots. And I think with considerable basis of fact and reason. The place is growing more rapidly and the signs of improvement are more manifest than in either Leavenworth or Lawrence. The town, or rather city, for it is such in name, organization and popuulation, is located on the south bank of the Kaw or Kansas River, sixty seven miles from the State Line. The situation is a most attractive and delightful one. The site commences in the first bottom at the river, and gradually ascends to the upland, until the main part of the business houses, Capitol, and residences are located on a high plain, from which a broad view is had of the Kaw Valley and the hill country rising on both sides of the valley, and receding into the interior. It is one of those charming scenes of quiet beauty, embracing the broad river, the wide expanse of luxuriant fields, fringed with the green trees of the water courses, and the distant background of bluff upland, so frequent in Kansas, but not often excelled or equalled [sic]. This upland surface of the city is broad enough for a very large population, and is gently rolling, making drainage natural and easy, and yet requiring no steep grades, excavations, or fills. The professional town maker could hardly desire a better location for a city. The State Legislature has done many more unwise acts than the location of the Capital here. Like most western towns where land is plenty and unusually cheap the houses are not very compactly built, and hence the corporation covers a wide extent of territory. The question of population is a delicate one, and my estimate will hardly be accepted as correct by these people, all of whose ideas are on an enlarged scale, and where time, pride or personal [fold in paper] lved. their figwould place the present population at less than eight thousand, and the more enthusiastic would fix it from two to four thousand higher. I cannot figure out, in my own estimate more than four thousand five hundred to five thousand. A census has recently been taken, but has not yet been published, and may not be. 1I heard it whispered that by a liberal enumeration at the hotels, with difficulty the. number was made to exceed five thousand. I remember that in the earlier history of Evansville, when we were feeling very important, an enumeration was ordered by the Council, and a liberal minded citizen offered the censustaker a fine prize if he made the enumeration a number named. I believe that double listing and imaginary hotel returns failed to secure the prize, and the result never saw the light of day. All of our ambitious young cities, Topeka and Evansville included, will reach the "hardpan" of official figures after the Government census of 1870. But if Topeka is not as populous as its enthusiastic and enterprising citizens would persuade themselves it is, I see no reason why it will not steadily and with satisfactory rapidity increase in numbers and soon make a city of very respectable proportions, business, wealth and influence. It is the Capital of the State, and hence will always be the center of political attraction, which is becoming more and more an element of power and prosperity and from what I have seen and heard I judge the Topeka people know pretty well how to use it to the advantage of their town. The country around it is one of the most fertile in Kansas, Shawnee County being already the third in taxable wealth in the State. An important line of railroad is being pushed rapidly South and West; the bridge connecting it with the Kansas Pacific, across the Kansas River, is already built, and the cars are now running twenty-seven miles, and the company is looking forward to its completion to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It has already reached the rich coal fields at Carbondale, (a matter of great value to Topeka,) and it will, at least, penetrate the southwest section of the State, and open that fertile region to the trade of this place. Other railroad projects are in contemplation, and in time will doubtless be consummated. There is under and all about the town excellent building stone, of which most of the substantial houses are already built; and it will be found of great importance as the city grows. The signs of growth are to be seen in every quarter of the town. Houses are being built as rapidly as materials can be obtained, and the present supply of mechanics can erect them. Substantial first-class store-houses, elegant residences, the East wing of the Capitol and two or three good churches, are among the buildings being commenced or completed the present season. The Capitol wing, built of the beautitul cream-colored Manhattan or Junction City stone, will cost a half million dollars, and that is only the commencement of the work. There is already one large public school house built, and the contract is being made for another nearly as expensive as the Evansville High School. Among the wants of the place is a public bridge across the Kansas River leading to the depot of the Pacific Road, but the piers for a costly iron bridge are being laid, and it is expected to be completed next year. A contract is made by the city for Gas Works, and they will be

The price of real estate ha3 '

reached rather a speculative figure for the size ot the town and tbe development of the country. Lots on the centre of tho business streets are held at from 100 to $150 per front foot; residence lots of seventy-five by one hundred and fifty feet, in desirable parts of the place, at from $1,200 to Sl,f00, and out-lots of the same size at from $500 to S00; OTil f iTminn lnnrla fdntlOTIOUS tO the town are being sold as high as $2U0 per acre. Tho city indebtedness is only $10,000, funded at 5 per cent. The total of taxation for all purposes last year was four cents and two mills on an appraisement said to be onehalf the real value. The cost of building 13 about twenty-five per cent, greater than in Indiana, brick and lumber being scarce and high. The cost of living is also considerable greater, merchandise being higher, and the immigration being bo greit that the country is not yet self-sustaining. The social advantages of Toceka are about equal to those of the smaller clas of Indiana and Ohio cities. Two live daily carers are published, containing reasonable amount or telegrapnic news and markets, and good local and miscellaneous readinz. lhere are eleven religious societies, all. with one or two excentions. having houses ot worship, some ot them ot a very sub stantial and attractive character. J good system of graded public schools is maintained throughout the year The Episcopal iemale eeminary, well patronized, and V ashburne Lol We. under the auspices of the Con precational Church, open to both ncsei and all races, are located cere The people are generally well educated and . intelligent, wide awake. thrifty traders, enterpnsiug, public spirited, liberal, and overwhelmingly Republican politically. The best recommendation I can give them with my readers is that the ruling element is Iloosier, nearly half, if not a majority of the population, being from Indiana. Among the leading business men 1 was pleased to know were to be found old residents of Evansville Fielding Johnson, P. II. Woodward, Colonel Georgo W. Veale, and Major John Johnson- and all of them having acquired considerable property, and engaged in prosperous business. Dr. Eli Lewis, formerly of Newburgh, is a physician here, and is doing a large practice in this healthy country, of which we hear so much. Captain Admire, of the old- C3th, and recently of the Warrick Ifcrald, is about to engage in farming, on a fine farm near this city. After he is fairly " into the traces," an account cf his experiences in that department of Kansas life will be interesting to tho readers of the Journal, and I hope he will liDd time to give them and his views of Kansas agricultural matters. I am bound still further West up this lovely Kaw luver valley, whence you may hear from me again on Kansas matters. J. W. F. letter rrom Crawrordsvlllo. Crawfordsville, Ind , ) September 11, ISM. J Edltora Journal: Through much dust and tribulation we arrived safely in this busy little place.and are congratulating ourselves over tho fact that the aooommodat- " V kU4. . - - Haute did nt ;suceeel ia sunshiny our trunks entirely. Whether it bo Idue to the Republican City Council, the Crawfordsville Journal, or some unseen and equally potent influence, is a matter of doubt, but sin3 of improvement are visible on every side. Many new dwellings are being erected in various parts of town, while the several store fronts rapidly rising in the business portion of tho city givo evidence of mercantile prosperity. The crops are very abundant. Wheat and potatoes, especially, are fine, plenty and cheap. Tho business of the railroad, lately completed from here to Indianapolis, has so increased that two additional trains are soon to be added. The absorbing theme among business Ken is railroads, it is hoped that the road from here to Logansport will, ere long, be put through, and the E. & C. Kailroad extended to this place, thus affording advantages to your city, as well as this, in direct communication with a Southern market for the quantities of produce raised in this region of couutry. Wabash College opened oa Wednesday last. Tho magnificent campus has been trimmed and cared for during yacition, making it present quite an improved appearance. The number of new students this year are unusually large, forty-seven having entered tho freshman class alone. "The increase of students has necessitated the employ of an additional tutor. Mr.M. D. Whiteforde, of the class of Oi, a thorough scholar and accomplished gentleman, has been chosen to fill tho place. The opening lecture of Dr. Tuttle, on Sabbath evening, was largely attended, and, as usual, well received, lie preached from Psalms 113: 23, and if this sermon bo the result cf h'13 extensive travels during vacation, wo sa let all good Presidents of colleges be so blessed in future times. The "new wins" rises slowly on account of the difficulty ia obtaining workmen and material. The work in progress on tie new building and the railroad running through the campus gives the place quite a business-like appearance. Tho railroad by running through the grounds, does not injure their appearance much, and will "showotfy Wabash considerable. Everything is now in ruuning order. The Professors are as good looking and obliging as ever, after their vacation travcb, and, with tho increased attendance of students, all things prophesy a prosperous year for this growing institution. The Evansville boy3 are thus far well pleased with the situation, Henry Babcoek having to return home being tho only mislortuno yet met with. Henry is a good student, and his loss will bo mourned, not only by his class, but also by his rcany friends in the College. All hope that ho may soon recover from the illness which causes his absence and be with ns aain J t : " From tue Toledo liTada 1 A Yery Short Eplstlo from 2ir. Xasby.
