Western Emigrants
Last Thursday was a busy day at the railroad stations at Caldwell.  A
half dozen railroad agents made music in rates to the great delight of
those who came here to buy tickets for the West.  Nearly 200 persons
went on the Excursion.  Most of the parties purchased tickts for Kansas;
the others went to nearly every state and Territory west of the
Mississippi River.  The following is a partial list of htose who went on
this trip:

Wayne Ogle, wife and children; David Miller, John Nace, Wm Grandstaff
and family; Isaiah Danford and family; L S Collins and wife; James
McKee, I C Phillips, Willie Peters, Aaron Miller, Pharan McAtee, Alva
Edwards, Milton Day, Wm Nehls, Fred Kiniah, Henry Yunger, Geo Steward,
Henry Bonar, F Schnuber, Barney Hannahs, Wm Brown, Peter Crow, John
Cohart, Isaac Mann, Fred Haas, L M Majors, E E Kirkpatrick, Charley

In all about 200 left on this Excursion.  The crowd was equally divided
between the B&O Ry and the Pan Handle.  The price of the tickets varied
widely.  The lowest figures at which they were sold was Kansas City
$7.50, Hutchinson $10, Garden City $11, Denver $21.50, Los Angeles,
California and Portland, Oregon $40 each.  Round trip tickets to
Florence and Frankfort, Kansas, good for 40 days, sold as low as $20. 
Those who waited an hour or so of the departure paid from $3 to $5 more
for tickets than they could have been secured earlier in the day.

Thursday, 17 Mar 1887, p 3:
One of the Kansas excursionists has already been heard from.  He writes
that skilled mechanics can get $2.50 per day but there is no work at all
for the common labor.  As this emigrant did not buy a return ticket, his
chances to get home by rapid transit is not good.
