ANew York young man wants to wager $4,000 that he can subsist on hay and oats for the space of a mouth. Evidently one of the horsey young men that are read about.

Says James Whitcomb RilijTi "Mr. Nye has gone South for his health, and I am now making my lecture tour alone.

In one of the Philippine Islands It Is customary, when a young man asks the old folks for their daughter, to send her into the woods at sunrise and if the lover flnds her before sunset she is his. If not, he forfeits all claim. The girl is given one hour the start. This gives her a fair chance and she can use her own judgment about hiding after she gets in the woods.

When the daughter of David Swing, the independent preacher of Chicago, was married, the other day, to Mr. Starr, ofOolmar, la., they vowed to "serve, honor and love" each other, there was a prayer and a nuptial blessing.

South Hutchinson.

A Few Words About Ben Blanchard's Booming Young City, The

Three Months' Old Infant Was Too Late For the Pictures, But She Has

Got the Facts, and Facts Go Far. Look At the Following Facts.

You nave doubtless heard it Said that a concession of a rival is better than a victory. The following article appeared in the North Hutchinson Daily News Nov. 13. *l

Work on tho present illustrated edition of the News was begun more than three months ago. At that time it was known that the famous real estate man, Ben Blanchard, had perfected his arrangements for energetically booming his new town of South Hutchinson. Mr. Blanchard was asked if he wanted a place in the illustrated work. He promptly replied that he did, but that he- had nothing to iUustrate, except a few hundred acres of high valley ground. The work of illustrating Hutchinson went on. Mr. Blanchard also went on with his work. Within a few weeks* his plans have shown themselves well matured and well carried out. The bare valley ground over on the other side of the river has sprouted houses as Jonah vine did gourds. Last week Mr. Blanchard came to us and said: "It is three months later now. I have got something to make pictures of now, come over and make them."

We were obliged to tell Mr. Blanchard that it was too late for the pictures. But we are glad to say a few words in an attempt to convey some sort of an idea of what he has been doing in South Hutchinson, and of what the actual certainties of the town are because, of all,Kansas town building that has come under our notice, we have never seen anything quicker, better or solider than this, the last work of as energetic and successful a real estate man as this country can produce.

South Hutchinson was laid out this

Bummer

by the Inter-State Investment

company, a corporation having $100,000 paid up capital stock. The original plot included 280 acres, and 120 acres have since been added by this company. The

Srained

lat covers a beautiful, level and well section of high second bottom ground, and is distant but one mile from the main business portion of Hutchinson, and covers the ground where the five main county roads center to cross the long bridge over the Arkansas river into Hutchinson.

The ground chosen for the town site was admitted to be well selected, but a great many laughed at Mr. Blanchard for attempting to start a town "away over there across the river." Mr. Blanchard paid no attention to what people thought or said in regard to his enterprise. To the contrary, he meekly atid quietly tended to his knitting and went on doing what he started to do, Which was to build a town.

To cut this matter short, it will suffice to say that on the evening of Nov. 4tl, there had been sold, by the Inter-State Investment company $116,000 of South Hutchinson real estate. This we submit, is an exceedingly good showing for three months work, on a project which was at first laughed at as visionary.

But wo have not got to the interesting part yet. The French say "It is only the first step that is hard." The first step, of the past three months has not accomplished much in comparison to what the next three months will do.

RAILROADS.

Wo might as well wake up to the fact that Soutn Hutchinson is going to hare the first shy at a good many of the railroads that come into this city. Railroads need solid ground to run on. They cannot fly from Hutchinson out, either to the north or south. Upon the south lies South Hutchinson, engineered by men who thoroughly understand their busluess, and who are not playing at building their town. We can safely say that South Hutchinson is only at the morning of her railway day.

But South Hutchinson has now certain railway facilities already secured. The Missouri Pacific route Is already built into the town, and is laying aside track over to the site of the new barb wire factory. The iron is now on the ground to lay the side track to the large brick yards and to the stock yards whloh are,to DO built at once. The plans and specifications are now completed for the elegant new depot which will be located on Avenue "C" East, and before another week the building will have been commenced, and soon South Hutchinson will have the most handsome depot building in the county. The Ft. Smith, Kansas Nebraska, commonly known as the "Fort Smith road," is also a certainty. The Chicago, Rock Inland A Pacific must also come to South Hutchinson on its way south and we do not see how the C. B. A Q., if it builds in here, as it beyond doubt will do, can uite escape hitting our ^oung rival. S

C. K.

BUILDIXOS.

At the writing of this article, there are 60 buildings on the ground in 8oath Hutchinson. Of these, 10 are substantial business structures, of the sort that come to stay. There is under contract a fine briok block, containing six buildings each two stories in height and 25x80 feet in dimensions. This block will be built in the best style, will have a plate glass front and all the best archi ctual tectual features of buildings of that size. A brick drug store. 25x80 feet, is also going up. This will be conducted in a first-class manner and the stock carried will be a complete one.

HOTK&S.

An 18,000 brick hotel, 40x90 feet, two stories, is now in process of erection, and is under contract to be completed by the first of the coming January, 40,000 brick are already on the ground. The foundation is in and the walls are going up as we go to press.

CHCBCBn.

There will be erected^ this winter a 94,000 brick church, the Methodist Episcopal. This building will be a credit to the town, and will be a good step in the right direction. Let it oe again remembered thai the town is only three months old. xmeyAcnanH.

The most Important manufacturing enterprise that ever cam* to Reno oenntj

is now located and going up at South Hutchinson. The Globe Barb Wire Company, machine shops aud foundry, lato of Manchester, Iowa, a concern of $60,000 capital, is moving bodily out from Iowa to Kansas, and before winter is well under way, will have its plant in operation at South Hutchinson. Their works will Employ 75 men. They will fill a want which may well be called long. The factory building will be 165x45 feet in size and two stories and a half in modern machinery adapted to the work. The machine shops and foundry will be large and amply provided, and capable of attending to a good amount of work. If the work be not unduly delayed by the non-completion of the Missouri Pacific siding, the factory will be turning out barbed wire within the ensuing thirty days.

Within six months there will be added to the above factory, by the same company, and operated by the same power, a canning factory, and also soap works.

A twenty-five "thousand dollar steam flouring mill has also been secured for the new town. Mr. Sterne is now in the East contracting for the machinery. The contract for the mill building has already been let. It is to be of stone and brick. South Hutchinson has already in operation the machine shop and foundry of Dice

McFarland—an item of great im

portance, as many a farmer coming in from the south has already learned. In short, one is forced to say that it is to South Hutchinson that the big manufacturing plants will naturally go. It is there that we will see the oil mills, paper mills, mills of a dozen different sorts, which we will vet see lining the banks of the turbulent Arkansas. It is there also that the stock yard system will be located, which the growing shipments of stock from this country will soon necessitate and if packing houses be put up —as we are willing to predict they soon will be—it lies strictly within the eternal fitness of things that they should go to South Hutchinson.

COAL.

Manufactories cannot be set on foot without cheap fuel. The competitive rates of railroads will in a measure solve that question soon. But a company has been formed to try and solve it sooner. Indications of coal have been found. Capital has been enlisted and a company is formed to sink a shaft, a thousand feet if necessary, or until they find something. ... ..

CITY PARK.

In due time, the attractiveness of the town will be enhanced by a tasty little park, for which there is natural inducement in a little lake, bright and clear, and fed by unfailing subterranean springs. The company is planting out some twenty thousand shade trees along the streets of the city and in the park.

PLEASE ENQUIRE.

Such area few of the advantages of a young, a very young town. We have not space to go into them more fully yet wo could not let this go unsaid. Those who are interested in hearing more about South Hutchinson would best write to The Inter-State Investment Co., at this place, or to Mr. Ben Blanchard, Terre Haute, Ind.
