AS Spring has again returned, there is
no doubt many at the East who are wish
ing to better themselves by changing their
residence this season. The financial panic
has thrown many out Of employment who
were dependent upon their daily wages
for support, and now they desire to re-
move where they can become producers
and will not be dependent upon others for
employment. The money market begins
to assume lively aspect at the East, and
they will be able to dispose of their pro-
pelty and make their means available, if
DESTROYS of moving westward.
There is also another class who are not
satisfied with their present situation, and
yet are 10th to leave their eastern homes
fearful of not lettering their condition by
removal. They are now making bare
subsistence by their labor, and cannot look
forward to future which will bring to
them either more of comfort or of ease in
life. There are others with small CAPT.
tai who see the end of each year leave
them but little better off than the proceed
ing one; while others with large means
receive but small remuneration for the
amount of capital they have invested.
10 all these we would say, turn your eyes
Westward! Come to the great North
West! We have the finest and heal
thlest climate in the world, and this
should be taken into considerable on first in
the selection of home. The winters of
this region are said by many to be too
cold,-that they never will 90 so far
north. Our winters are cold, but thew
are steady, cheering and invigorating to
degree most wonderful. Few who have
tried them are willing to exchange for
such as they have found elsewhere; and
it needs no argument to show the supe-
riority of such a winter over those warm
er and more changeable.
Our water is the best, and an abu n
dance of it. There is no portion of the
West so beautifully watered as this
Through thousand green and flowery
valleys flow clear, sparkling streams,
Astounding with waterfalls beautiful,
grand, sublime. This is not merely beau

which will bear comparison with any
Other in the production of all kinds of
grain and vegetables, with a small amount
of labor expended on their cultivation.
There is profusion of timber here sur

OF wood and water has the effect of saving
our scenery from that tame uniformity
which characterizes the surface of prairie
States in general.
In addition to all this, in our numerous
