HUTCHINSON. Population, 18,000. The judicial seat of Reno county, is an important commercial and manu- facturing center located on the Arkan- sas river, 168 miles s. w of Topeka, 218 s. w. of Atchison and 234 s. w. of Kansas City. To handle the immense output of mill, factory and jobbing houses, railroads are required, and Hutchison has as fine service in this line as any city in the country. There are three great railroad systems-A., T. & S. Fe, the C., R. I. & P. and the M. P .- whose lines radiate from here, not to mention the branch roads, and on the A., T. & S. Fe Ry. there is but one city, exclusive of terminals, that
has a greater freight tonnage. Kansas City alone, among all the cities on the system, aside from the terminals, gives the Santa Fe more business than does Hutchinson, and as a further evidence of the immensity of Hutchinson's freight business, it is sixth in rank in freight tonnage of all the cities of the Santa Fe, terminals included. Not in freight facilities alone is Hutchinson well served. Here the two finest long distance limited trains in the world part for the last time in their race against time from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast. There are 960 op- portunities each month to arrive at and depart from here. With but one change from the cars of Hutchinson roads the passenger may land in any city of importance in the United States, Canada or Mexico. Hutchinson freight trains run without change direct to Chicago to San Francisco, to Los An- geles, to El Paso, to Denver and other large cities, carrying an average monthly tonnage of about 120,000,000 pounds, much of it to the trade terri- tory where Hutchinson holds commer- cial supremacy, and making her the heaviest tonnage in city Kansas. Hutchinson is located in the very heart of the famous Kansas wheat belt. Reno county has been the banner wheat county several years, and Barton county, which was the banner county for three years out of a period of five years from 1903-07, is directly tribu- tary to Hutchinson and in her trade territory, the bulk of her wheat pass- ing through Hutchinson elevators. Set thus in the very heart of the wheat empire of the Union, it should not be surprising to learn that Hutchinson has a milling industry surpassed in volume by no other point in the State and with elevators with capacities ex- ceeded only by those of the great ter- minal elevators on the Missouri river. Each year wheat to the amount of 6,500,000 bushels is stored in her ele- vators or ground into flour in her mills. The milling capacity has increased 300 per cent in the last two years until it has reached the large sum of 3,000 barrels daily. The city is underlaid with a vein of rock salt 400 feet thick and found at a depth of 375 feet. It
is reached by bored wells, water is

introduced and the salt dissolved, leaving the shale in the cavity, and the brine thus formed is pumped to the surface and through evaporation the trifling impurities are removed. It was but twenty years ago that the ex- istence of this hidden wealth was re- vealed, yet such was the enterprise of the people of this community and those attracted by the discovery that Hutchinson possesses, and has pos- sessed for many years, the largest salt plant in the world.
