wet season frequently extends into the month
Of June. The summer season is usually hot
and rather dry, but rarely so much so as 60

heat Of summer acting upon our exceeding

AAnAhNhA
Extract Of a letter 10 the Ohio State
Journal, dated Omaha City, N. T., July
20, 1851:
Iowa and Nebraska are, as most Of Your
readers know, prairie States; but YOU are
not TO infer that they are level. On tho
contrary, they nre beautifully rolling, and
in some instances, may DO called hilly.
The soil is exceedingly rich, and | never
saw such crops Of corn, wheat, oats, po-
tatoes and gorden vegetables as III, SO now
safely harvested or maturing in Il State
Of Iowa. Timber is plenty ill you come
within one hundred miles Of the Missouri
river, and it then grows more scarce as
YOU proceed westward. On many Of tho
streams in Nebraska, there are groves Of
timber, and sone good stone qunrrics; but
Coal and timber are scarce, and they must
DO spariugly used until railroads can be
made to transport them into the country.
The soil, climate, and water Of eastern
Nebraska and western Iowa, IRE all that
human desire co0ld wish. There seems
to be no difference between the top and
bottom Of hills; bat here in the region OK
this place, the black, sandy soil is mex
huustiblc. Some ri the cid Indian fields
that have been cultivated Tor seventeen
years, are now producing better corn than
You see growing on the Scioto bottoms.
| have only explored Nebraska, west Of the
Missouri twenty or thirty miles; but from
all | can learn, the good soil gradually be-
comes too sandy, as you proceed west OF
one hundred miles. The best part Of Ne
broska and Kansas is within one hundred
miles OF tho Missouri; hut OH streams and
elsewhere, there is good land throughout
the whole territory which extends west
OF the Missouri river several hundred
miles.
The Missouri river, on the east side OF
the territory, is the only navigoble stream,
and 1t can be relied on as a cheap mode OF
conveyance from May till September.
There is water for all seasons; but the
great number Of snags render il unsafe at
all times. and quite useless at low stages.
The Platte river is the great east and west
drain, running centrally through Ncbras.
ka. Il is q wide fiat sheet of water,
running over a sandy shifting bottom, with
a fall Of four or five feet 10 the mile.
On the wide, solid, sandy bottom of this
river, the best emigrunt road in the world
is annually trayersed by the thousands
who go overland to California and the
Salt Lake; and here it is that u railroad
can be constructed cheaper, 50 FAR as grad
ing is concerned, than in any section Of
Union. The Loup, Horn and Wood
and many other tributaries Of 10
Platte, are large streams, bat, ike tHa
Platte, their shallow waters afford no nv
for boats. For hundreds OF mi
up these streams, and up the Running
Water, a tributary Of the Missouri, in
north part Of the territory, the soil is rich,
aud there is sufficient timber 10 facilitate
settlement OF the country.
