Travel. -rs-. -.--a- ....,. sal d, .-f-..r-7
Since the opening Of the River and the con.
scqaent running OF tac Ferry. Steamer Nc
tregoy. the travel at this pout has largely in-
creased. The depression in financial matters
farther west-to Cherry Creek, for instance,
has caused a very material decline throughout
Iowa and Minnesota in the price Of land, and
particularly in farms with improvements, aud
this fact, which has been widely published and
more widely inferred throughout the cast, is
bringing hundreds and thousands to our beau.
,ifal country for permanent location. 1t will
not surprise us at all il the approaching season
should be one Of great benefit to Iowa in the
way of populative accession by emigration the
tigus OF it thus early are prominent and numer.
Gus and We await the coming Of good roads
and pleasant weather with warm anticipations
If a lively stream of travel. There never wis
better time in the history OF the west to Sc
cure a home in the fertile prair;es Of Iowa than
nor, and those Of our eastern readers who can
command only little money, can fix them
selves comfortably for life by availing them
selves ofan opportunity which, so far as North
ern Iowa is concerned, will never again present
isself. s~4 AGss@a aE j., Esr9
Some may regard the depression at the wcs
a. Of . character to forbid emigration, but such
reasoners have no: we'll studied it's causes mol
tie effects likely 10 follow q restoration tc
good times.' First we had financial crisis
which was late in reaching US, aud the cast hat
almost recovered before we began to stagge
under the load we had short crop
which produced additional embarrassment
then it began to be believed that the Railroad
schemes, which had long stimulated the prices
Of western lands, were mostly played out and
'upcradded to these the Gold fever came and
in the light Of its brilliant promises, all our
troubles looked darker and more unconqucra
bic. Bot these causes will shortly pass away,
business will resume healthy tone, crors will
come in we'll as they almost invariably do,
railroads will be finished and the country will
walk up to and pass its former position in the
road to prosperity. This land Of the west is
rich as the Nile; farms can be made in two or
three years, large manufacturing interests are
already springing up and it will be but short
time ere men Of the east will say why did !
not move TO Iowa in the Spring Of 1859, and
get home while lands were offered at one
