Bear Arous Ekaduu : liuri.DKi: City, Colobado, ) üctobor 23d, 1871. ( As advised iu our lust rondom cpistlo we turned our back upon Kansas City and all the territory oastwnrcl thereof, at au early hour on the lflth inst. - Monday last, our routo being by the Kansas Pacifio liailway. Soonafterleaving the unión depot our train entered the State of Kansas and wontul ití way ap the Kaw valley. ïliu íirst town oí' itny noto passed is Lawrence, at which thi-iving city is loeated the State University, tbe buildings of whioli oecupy a oomuianding position upon tho blufis, and aiv from a great distanoe. íTexl comes Topeka, thc Stato capital and a growing city. At St. Mary's Missioii wo roach the western limit of previoua journeyinga and pass into an unknown lund. 80 far we notcd a largo inoxèase of popuhition since our four years ago trip, and broud fields and frequent fimn houses had xuooeeded to unbroken bottnm. Proceoding wostward we passed WaniegO, Manhattan - the site of the State Agricultura! College, Fort Riley, Junotion City - whero the fine magneaian limestoae is quaraed for the Stato capitol, Abilcue - the great shipping point for Toxan oefttle, and roach Salina, whc-re we halt for the niglit Hore wo meet 11. H. and J . W 8UTT0H formerly of Nortílfleld, who reside 9 uiiles distant. Tho Messrs. SuTTOJï are en gaged in the business of tliis soction of the State - stock raising. They owu 400 acres of land, and havo 7ö() head of cattlo. These cattle - with 750 head more to bo wintered on shares - they will pasture about 30 miles from their ranche, upon tho broad plains, feeding noither grain nor cut hay. To our eye these plains would afford poor pieking, but vj were assurcd that tho eattle would thrive and fatten on the dry gxusea, which, in tliis cliiiuito, have ourcd without boing cut, retaining tlioir substanco aud juicos. In this región - Salina - Texaa cattle, one .tnd two years old, are bought in Septcin berfar from !?6 to $12 per head, wintered as wo have indioated, fattened on the jrasses of suramer, and sold for slaughter from August to Oetobor following- the purchase priee being doubled. At about 9 o'elock A. U., Tuesday, the L7th, the express train comes along and wc aro again headed westwaïd. At tliis aoint the railroad leaves the Kaw valley, and soon the rolling prairies natten and we are at sea - on " tho plains,'' the heretofore called "great Amorioan dosert." Now nothing intcrvenes to limit visión, aud 1 aftcr passing Ellsworth the stopping places are no longer villages, but mero stations. We are now in tho " Buffalo. Bange," and buffalo remains lino eitbsr side of the,road. Soon is sean a fresh caroass, and every oye is ou. tlis look-out for the living aninuvl. But W'ilsou's Creek - whero the railroad compuny has been experimenting in.farming, and has laid out a town, Fossil, - anothcr town site, and Hays are passed, and Ellis and dinner reached, and yet no bulialo hords. At EUlis,. roast buffalo, buffalo tongue, and roast autolope are on the bill of faro, aud are tried - the buffalo not pi'oving very tender. The eating house is kept by a JIicliigaiman, J. H. Edwarus, and old Coldwater acquaiiitunce whom we had not mot in fifteeu years. Ilere, also, the railroad company has an experimental garden, from which reiuarkablc vegetables werc sent to the St. Louis and Kansas City i'airs. At or near Buffalo station the first live buifalo is sightcd, but at such i distanco trom tbc traim thut we aro obliged to take a good deal for granted. However, rooii they are seen nearer, and u shot froiu a repoating rifle - we didn't firo it - sets the herd to toaring up the prairie at a fearful rate. These 111011archs of the plains didn't look as diniinutive and tamo as did their ill treated kindred who once were huntod on the fair grounds in Ann Arbor, but;ould scarcely be chased into a run. üerds of antelopo were also sein, which tried the speed of the train, raaking good time and showing fine bottom. Night soon shut down upon us, and at daylight on Wcdnesday wc we were still upon the plains, bnt withtlie lloeky Mountains in full view. Long's Poak was pointed out to the northward, 80 milee distant ; Gray'sl'euk nearerin i'mnt ; and Pike's Peak away off to the south west. The The bigherpeaks showcd the accumulated snows of yoars, while the foot bilis were whi tened with a recent f all. The contrast botween the views to front and rear - the " everlasting mountains " and the broad, monotonous plains - was too great to describe. It must bo imaginod until opportunity favors the reader with the sight. At 6 o'clock A. M., local time, Denver, - "City of the Plains" - was roached, but not our destination. As our stay there was but liours, description must wait another and longer visit. Lat us say, in parting, that we mot at the depot Capt. Tiiaybe, who reportcd himself in good condition, and his wife- for whose health he was a pilgriin to this Mocea - improving. At 2 o'clock r. il. we rcacli the place from which we date, 27 miles by carriage road from Denver, but 47 by rail and stage. The railroad rido was in a " caboose " or baggage car, pvoving " Jordán a bard road to travel." But for this lack of accommodation no discount in faro was made. Perhaps the jolting was thought to be a luxury, but wc didn't so seo it, and are still inclined lo think that when a raiload company can't aft'ord to run coaches over its road it ouglit tj cease to solicit passongors or collect fare. Boulder, from which wo date, is a town or villagci having a popuiation of abo;t 600, situated on Boulder Creok, at the point whoro it breaks tvova the mountains. The mountains aro within a atone's throw, and while the air is balmy and the sim fihining with summer's brightness and warmth, snow and ice are within a few minutes' walk. During our stay hero wc have been up Boulder Canyou to Middle Bouldor, thence up the mountain to Caribou and its famoua mino, and have seen some wonderiul scenery, of wiiich in another letter.
