Our visit to Fort Smith.
Sunday October 29 accompain
ed by J. G. Duncan ye editor
started from Kiowa over the
Missouri Pacific for Fort Smith
Arkansas on a visit to relatives
and friends; and in traversing
the great Missouri Pacific system
we find that it taps the great
agricultural district of southern
and eastern Kansas, where crops
seem to be fair this season; while
the farmers don't seem to be
making any rapid strides in
improvements, they seem to be
fairly holding their own; in en-
tering the Indian Territory from
Coffeyville over the Iron Mount-
ain R. R. there is some fine
c ountry owned mostly in large
tracts, and occupied largely by
men interested in cattle industry;
and leased by the Indians; Mon-
day at one o'clock we arrived in
Fort Smith; which is a City
worth visiting, her unbounded
resources of coal, cotton, and
lumber, makes her Manufactur-
ing interests of great importance,
we visited the great furniture,
box, cotton seed oil factories and
cotton compress, and found them
in full blast, Ft. Smith has a grand
school system having a large sum
of money invested for maintaining
and her schoolbuilings are grand,
her Church buildings are all fine
stone and brick structures, and
an ornament, to the City they
have large wholesale houses df all
kinds, new wholesale houses are
under contract to be built and
others are building, the City is
webbed in by a telephone system;
and has a number one electric
street railway. Take it all in all
Fort Smith has a futuiie before her
that they may well feta*prpud of.
We met numerous Wichita
friends who showed us the hos-
pitality in viewing the City, after
a weeks visit we started for home
over the Missouri Pacific, which
is a great system of Railroad;
accomodating and up to date;
and our people can rest assured
when they complete their line
here and on to the coal and lum-
ber fields of the Territory and
Arkansas it will be a boom for
this country which they do not
realize; and a future for us that
is everlasting. On all our route
we never saw a better showing
iu crops improvements farming
and stock country than Woods
county and more especially the
Eagle Chief valley. We are
proud of our country and its en-
ergetic people. Augusta is prom-
inently mentioned far and near,
and the future of our. city will be
unprecidented. Oklahoma has a
great name, and well she may
have. We arrived home Monday
night and we were glad to get
back and see the life and stir.
—The attendance at Mrs. Paul
Jansen's funeral, held at Mr.
Geis' where she died, was large.
Rev. Tilbury preached a very ap-
propriate discourse. The de-
ceased was 41 years of age and
had suffered terribly for several
weeks and during this time would
not allow any one but Mrs. Geis
to wait upon her. Mrs. Jensen
was a native of Denmark and had
only been in this country about
three }rears. The remains were
laid to rest in the Swean7 cem-
etery. A husband and 11 year
old boy mourn her death. *
