Among Railroad Men and Land Sales Rise in 1897
The first half of 1897 shows higher sales than all of 1896, with Santa Fe shops planning to build ten wheel compound engines. Kansas land sales, led by western and southern farmers, exceed last year's six month total by thousands of dollars as grazing expands in western and southern districts. Land Commissioner John B. Frost notes the surge in 1897 and attributes it to increased grazing and farm use in the drought-prone regions.
