White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1857-06-04


New Tows--A company of Capital
lists from BuneOmbs County. North Car
olina. have recently arrived in the Ter
ritOry. and purchased Gopher hole, in
a high bluff on the river, where they have
laid out a new town. which they have
appropriately named Gopher City. The
place already contains a'first-class whis-
key shop, kept by church member in
good standing,) gas mill, one dry
goods store. (dry enough. in all con-
science, one ox-team, three spectators
Offices, and one private residence. A
large Hotel is just being finished, where
persons can obtain the best Of aeeommo-
datiOns. at ten dollars per week, and find
themselves! The town must necessarily
become the most important point on the
Missouri River, above New Orleansl A
glance at the Town Plat, which can be
seen in all country groceries throughout
the Union, viii convince any one Of this
fact. 1t has permanent landing at all
seasons, as the bluff, during high wsters,
is very near the river. 1t win certainly
be the terminus Of the Wind Line and
Gasport Railroad. and the entire country
back to the Pacific Ocean must necessa-
rily be dependant rFon it for supplies Of
grog and tobacco. One great advantage
possessed by this City is. that from the
bluff you can SEQ the towns of Hard
SCRABBLE and Groundhog's Glory. A
vast amount Of building is talked of, this
Summer, and persons DESTROYS of pur-
chasing shares, would do well to invest
soon, ss there is great excitement in re-
gard to the place, and every time a stran-
ger inquiries the price of shares, they ad-
vance fifty per cent. A steamboat ran
aground opposite the place, few days
ago. and lay there one day and night,
during which time the price of shares
was doubled. Persons wishing to invest,
will call at the Office Of Messrs. Blow &
SKINNER, Bullfrog Street, Gopher City.
We have received no lot nor town share
for this puff; therefore, it may be relied
upon.

The ELEcrIoS-A QUEsTIoN.-The
election for Delegates to the Constitution
al Convention, is near at hand. As yet,
we have heard of no candidates for Dele
gates, and scarcely anything is said in
regard to the election. Secretary STAN
ton, now acting as Governor, has declared
it as his conviction, that Kansas will be
Free State, and says the laws must be
observed, as enacted by the Legislature
and we believe the Free State men still
adhere to their determination not to par
ticipate in the election, nor in anywise
sanction the doings of the Legislature.
Now, all these things will not tally to-
gether, and one Of threc things is pretty
certain-that is, the Free State men will
get over the notion of not voting, and all
go to the polls; or the Pro- Slavery men
viii form Free State Constitution; or else
Mr.. Secretary STANTON says what he
does not mean, or is pretty badly mis-
taken. As-the election law Is to be en-
forced. and in that law no provision is
made for submitting the Constitution to
vote of the people, all the horns OF the
dilemma are plainly visible.

Com AND SIS FOR vEs-We
know that it has become fixed practice
for the proprietors and friends of every
new town in the West, to set forth its
advantages over every other place. and to
proclaim elements of prosperity which
they can never possess. So fixed has this
practice become. that persons wishing to
invest, have become wary. and will not
take stock until they see the place. This
is Just what we want them to do in regard
to White Cloud. No matter how often
we might set forth the advantages of the
situation Of our town, it would not induce
many to settle here, from the fact that as
much is said in favor of every new town
in the West. Then, come and see-and
see to your entire satisfaction. We shall
not, as is done by people of some other
places, attempt to dispsrage neighboring
or rival towns, in order to help ours along
--she needs no such help as that. There
are many new towns in this part of the
country, and some of them possess good
sites and superior advantages. There are
Mound City and Forest City. in Nilsson
ri RHO. and other towns. in Nebraska /;
and Doniphan, Atchison, Iowa Point,
Columbus, Buffalo, Claytonville. Pado-
MIA, Marysville, Tails City, Lodiana. and
many other places, in Kansas. Go and
see them all, before yeu come here-ex-
anime their sites. their position, and their
advantages in reference to river trade and
that of the back country. After Sec
ing them all, then come and take look
at White Cloud. You certainly can
choose among so many; and we are not
afraid nor ashamed of a thorough exami-
nation, and a comparison of our advsnta-
ges with those of other places.

ST.. JOSEPH AND COUNCIL BLUFF PACK
ET.-The people of st. Joseph have for
number of years been endeavoring to
secure boat to run between that city
and Council Bluffs /; and we are happy
to state that this important object has at
length been secured. The new and light
draught steamer Watossa, Captain G..
A. REIcHESEKER, as will be seen by
the Gard, in another column, will m axe
weekly trips from st. Joseph to White
Cloud. Omaha, Council Bluffs, and all
intermediate points. As she viii be de-
voted exclusively to the trade of the
above named points, she should receive
all the encouragement within the power
Of the citizens Of those places to bestow.
The best of accommodations may be
found on board.

THH LAND SALEs.-The sale of the
Iowa Trust Lands commences on Wed
nesday, the Sd inst, at Iowa Point, in
this County. There win be a very large
attendance, but no difficulties, it is to be
hoped. There is probably not a single
quarter section of these lands now I'M
claimed, but there is yet great uncertainty
as to whether actual settlers viii be per-
mitted to bid them off at the appraised
value. Justice would require that this
should be done. Such was the case at
the sale Of the Delaware lands, and the
settlers on these lands should have an
equal chance with them. Besides, all
the hard work has devolved upon the
Squstters, who have nearly all made i'm
provements upon their claims-they are
generally men Of moderate means, and
would be utterly unable to compete. with
the spectators, if the lands should be run
up to the highest bids, which would rem
der the Squatters homeless, and drive of
the only ones who are taking steps to set
tic up the country. Such a course, it is
plain to see. would be productive of I'M
told difficulties but better things are to
be hoped for.
We have just seen handbill, announ-
cling the rules to be observed at the sale.
Actual settlers will be permitted to bid
off their claims at their appraised value ;
but no one will be permitted to hold a
claim or bid one off for another. No
person can hold more than a single claim;
and he must have made improvements
upon it, such as to warrant the probabil-
ity that he intends it as a permanent
homestead. He must make oath that such
is his intention, and produce reliable wit
nesses.

GOVERNOR WALKER.-Hon. ROBERT j.
WALKER. left New York, for Kansas,
May 11th. He appointed, as his Private
Secretary, Mr. E. o. PERRIN, of that city,
formerly of Tennessee. and an eloquent
American stumper, during the late Pres
idential campaign. Gov. WALKER, before
leaving New York, male speech, in
which he declared that the Constitution
shortly to be formed, must be submitted
to vote of all the inhabitants Of the Ter
ritory and that a refusal so to DO, would
be gross outrage upon the rights of the
people. The experience of former Gov
errors of this Territory. has shown that
it is very easy to talk about how they
will do before they come here but doing
the business up right after they get here,
is quite another thing. We sincerely hope
Gov. WALKER may be an exception to
this general rule, and that he may be
fully able to carry out all his good inten-
tioDs.

share holders in lower river towns, made
their appearance here few weeks since.
in search of speculation. They seemed
to be out of humor with White Cloud,
and seemed disposed. lin rather sour
grapish manner. we thought, to lower
her merits beneath those of every mud
hole and sand-bar on the Missouri River.
They concluded not to invest here, until
good title was procured. and started for
the interior, to take stock in town (also
on Indian lands, anil without a title)
about which they had heard a great deal.

White Cloud. There was large hotel

10 the People Of Kansas, Greeting.

!
We have the pleasure, this week, of pre-
sspling our readers with the first number
Of the "Chisf." It's publication has been
delayed a month longer than we antieips-
Ted, from various causes, each sufficiently
yexstious in itself, but over which we had
no control. However, we trust none of
cur patrons viii be losers by it. as we
hope to make the paper fully as useful to
them, as il It had been commenced at an
earlier day.
We do not deeEe Pit necessary to say
much in regard to the course We intend
to pursue. prefsring to let the paper speak
for itself. In regard to the great pOliti.
cal question upon which the people Of this
Territory are divided, we have decided
preference for one side but in conducting
our paper, we shall endeavor to steer clear
Of politics altogcther-atleast until peace
ana good will are restored between the
different parties in the Territory. which
it shall be our earnest cndeayor to pro-
mote.
We believe this portion Of Kansas to
Be unsurpassed in beauty, fertility and
health, by any other portion of country
on the face of the globe, and that it only
requires peace and fair chance to set
tiers, to render it a rich and densely pop
ulsted community. 1t shall be our en-
dsavor to set forth all the advantages Of
our country to the honest settler, and to
do all that lies within our humble ability,
TO afford instruction, entertainment and
amusement to all classes. Hoping to be
useful in our way, and to receive encour-
agement sufficient to warrant a perma-
nent location in this beautiful country, we
start ont in our mission, with kindly
greetings to eli.

speedily granted.
While on the subject of mails, we
would suggest to the people of the back
country. that they forthwith petition the
Department to establish Post Offices at
all the towns throughout that beautiful
region. together with regular mail routes.
There is no inconvenience greater than
the want Of regular mails.

point. Since these things have come to
pass, the Free State papers of the East
are very severe upon Lane, and term hi m
the ''hero-traitor. The redoubtable
Colonel has always been more popular
in the East, than he has been in Kansas,

Eastern friends are the first to denounce
him. They should remember that spec
ulation is the great leveller, ont here, and
that elements heretofore antagonistic, are
brought lovingly together by this mighty

have ceased, and all the restless spirits,
who so lately kept the Territory in an
uproar, have no eye for anything else
than speculation. No matter what q
