Dear Sir-I received yours of Dec. 29th,
and hasten to answer the same. l was glad to
hear from you. You wish
cd description of this country; have travel
ed some in Missouri, think it is n fine country,
plenty Of prairie and nice groves of timber. and
plenty of water. The country is generally
rolling the same with Kansas and Nebraska,
with the exception Of timber, which is scarce
only on the Rivers and their tributaries. and
that only is Cottonwood the soil is more rro-
ductive than in Wisconsin. In this country
there is no stone. only now and then quarry;
do not remember of ever picking up but one
stone in this country, and that one was about
the size Of my fist. ehave the finest climate
here ] ever saw this winter, the first of Dec.
We had n fall Of snow that stayed on the ground
but short time. and since then no wind, but
pleasant as the most pleasant fall month, and
as to money there is no doubt plenty of it in
the vicinity OF Cherry Creek in the western
part of this Territory, where it is said the mines
open richer than they ever did in California,
and almost the whole Of the population in this
part Of the country are going, some are starting
now and some will go in February and thous-
ands in the Spring. ] shall move my family
and start as soon as the grass gets big enough
for cattle to live on. The mines have been
thoroughly explored for a hundred miles
around, and it is said there is not foot of
ground but there is gold more or less. and that
man may average from five to ten dollars per
day. There was number Of men from
Omaha went there last fall those that left
their families are invariably writing for them
to come on in the Spring. So we think the
chances for making money in the western part
of Nebraska are good. If were a young
man like yourself, most assuredly l would be
one of the number to try my luck there there
can be, as learn, good farms got there, which
occupation l intend to follow they have
already laid out towns, which ii the mines
prove good, will soon grow up to cities. Sc
the chances arc good for speculation all round
Now 30 much for the money you inquired
| about.
S. MANSON.
PS.-The distance from here 10 the mines
is about six hundred miles. Ok teams perform
the journey in about IS days.

Opinion Of Judge Williams

The HIGH School ps. CLAYTON COUNTY.
In this action the Plaintiff sues as Cor ora
ton. To maintain this suit the High School
of Clayton County, State of Iowa, must be now
by force Of some existing law, body corpo-
rate. .
The Supreme Court have decided void all
the provisions of the School law of the Legis
lature, except the repeating and financial por-
lions Previous to the passage Of the curative act
Of the Board of Education, the Plaintiff was
not corporation. If the High School is now
body corporate it must be so by virtue of the
Curative Act. If the curative act has this
virtue then it is to all intents and purposes an
enactment of all the provisions Of the School
law OF the Legislature in relation TO the High
School and if this is true. the Board Of Edu-
cation when they passed the curative act had
done their work, and the entire School law of
the Legislature was re.enacted and further leg
islation was superfuous. No known rule of
law will warrant this Interpretation. The cura-
tive act was not prospective but retrospective
1t purports to confirm what had already been
~oAs~' ~ "VSS "cs ousbotiAc VIC uO1nS VI q
single thing. This has been done by the legis-
lation OF the Board subsequent to the curative
act. The School law Of the Board contains
not single provision in relation to the High
School. The curative act, granting that it can
do what it pnrports to do, docs not continue the
existence Of the High School beyond the pass
age of the act. If the curative act makes the
High School a corporation from the time the
High School purports to have been established
it expires with the enactment of the SO called
curative act unless its existence is prolonged
by further curative legislation.
No such can be found, and il we are permit
ted to draw differences. we must believe the
Board of Education intended to kill the High
School, and in the opinion OF the court they
